Reminds me of my Dad, who would laugh hysterically throughout either movie…probably reminded him of his dad.

My Dad passed away a bit over a year ago and one of my favorite random memories of him was exactly as you described…laughing uncontrollably watching Grumpy Old Men.

Her nose and legs look like she is primed and ready to pack on the weight again. Not that I care. Just an observation.

A/M better change their soggy tampons. Jesus…what a bunch non-stop ragging bitches.

Eh, it's not like we gave the guy a lifetime contract. He'll be retired in 3-4 years, will have Arkansas established as a national brand, and will leave us in a solid position to make a big name hire with our next coach.

Hell of a better hire than Jerome Tang or whoever else we would have ended up with otherwise.

Now this is a reasonable post and I can somewhat appreciate the logic with it.

This is retarded. No offense. Cal took a talented roster, had a losing conference record, and lost to Texas Tech in the sweet 16.

That is the exact kind of season that ran him out of Lexington.

I get that Arkansas has somehow talked themselves into accepting this on the basis that there is some sort of promise that tomorrow will be better. UK certainly fell for it for years.

But the dude just took one of the most talented rosters in the conference and did what he does….disappoint and sell hope.

Cal had NO roster when he got there. LITERALLY

I get this a popular talking point amongst Hog fans, but the truth is Cal had more returning talent, that he himself recruited and coached then he has had in years. Like Cal himself has said, it’s the same, just in a different location.

Seems like when the tournament was smaller, conferences were limited to the number of teams in the tournament.

Kentucky had the SEC on lock down.

---

That’s why regular season wins and conference championships used to matter. I realize they don’t so much any more, but they were extremely meaningful not all that long ago.

So the Johnny come lately fans arguing wins and conference titles don’t mean anything historically are just proving their ignorance.

In this comparison, teams that just made the tournament for over 30 years automatically get credit for sweet sixteens or even elite 8 appearances just for accepting a bid to a tournament that many years was seen as the less desirable of the two.

---

To be fair, teams had to actually earn the tournament, thus they did earn their sweet 16 or elite 8 credit.

Teams with a losing conference record were not included. This was the landscape and every team had to deal with it. Good teams benefited, bad team did not. The regular season and conference champions meant something. You can’t apply today’s standards to it.

Also, the notion the NIT was more prestigious for a time has been greatly inflated over the years.

Never had one there….but Charlie Brown’s on Euclid made the best Bloody Mary’s I’ve ever had.

That seems to be the correct time for the break from old (local) Lexington and new (chains / big box) so you got lucky there.

My parents were the silent generation and still were immersed in old school Lexington, so I still hit most of the old local places that were still around for a bit.

That was like the "go to" new place when it opened and the twin cinema in that complex mate it the "date night" thing.

Crossroads, and later South Park next door, is where I saw every great movie from Star Wars all the way through Jurassic Park.
