re: Tide Hoops | 31-6 (16-2)
Posted by The Spleen on 3/24/23 at 10:58 pm
Haven’t been on here in a while and figured I’d share my thoughts on the season and tonight.
1. Best Bama basketball team in my lifetime. Enjoyed the ride.
2. The better team won tonight. They were better prepared, controlled the game, got to more loose balls, etc. Highly disappointing to see...

[quote]Scored 78,86 and 90 the past week while shooting poorly from 3. Yeah, "hurting."[/quote]
Well, they didn’t shoot it well in their 4 losses so it’s a mixed bag. In one of those losses though they made up for it with other scoring and posted 90 points. Defense just couldn’t stop Gonzaga that...

Y’all are break g up north matter which way you decide, so might as well hold firm and not go and save some money. She’ll leave you when she gets back. She may even leave you before the wedding and you don’t have to go to it. That’s best case scenario. ...

Lots of good hiking around there if that’s your thing. Whiteside Mountain is close to Cashiers. About a 2 mile loop with lots of overlooks. It can get crowded so we like doing it first thing in the morning.
Can’t help with golf. I’ve only played once up there at a private club. From what I’ve he...

Went to Terry Black’s a few weeks ago and line was about 30 minutes, partially in the sun.
The beef rib was outstanding. We barely touched the brisket we ordered because the rib was so good, but the brisket was also solid. ...

Nothing really. It’s another boring exurb/suburb off the interstate with the expected hotel and dining options. Nothing wrong with that, but it didn’t really fit what you were looking for in your OP. ...

That summer was probably my favorite summer. Started working so had some spending mo...
