We now go to a LIVE IMAGE of @stoneySIOUXafter this pick!

California? That's any better?

Does coming off the bench create a match-up problem for the other team and an advantage for the player and UND?

When UND hit 69 points, my head said "put up 75 and DU loses". My math said, at the time, DU wouldn't get to 76 given where they were and remaining regulation time. What I saw from that point on was a bunch of guys who, here it comes, look young. Because they are. They have no "grizzled veteran" on the floor to show them how to close out a game. I put that on the quitters, the guys who portal'd to "greener pastures". One, just one, of those guys would've made a difference last night.

https://www.self.com/story/covid-19-beijing-winter-olympics-2022 Hey, Jake, remember when I joked about spending three weeks in a 6' x 8' cinder block room with nothing but a bed and a door? No joke, eh? Oh, that's right, Jake won't read this unless (not until, unless) he gets back: no WiFi, internet to only approved outside sites, and a burner phone that can't be as good as what he normally uses.

Well, at least we know he was tested and safe and the CCP has a sample of his DNA ...

Chris Chelios' kid is playing ... for China. "Chelios" <- the Mandarin word for "are ya kiddin' me!"

The only thing sure right now is: Denver will not finish eighth (mathematically impossible*). With two points this weekend, UND guarantees to not finish eighth. *Miami has 6 points with only 24 available to earn, so capped at 30, and DU has 32. UND has 29.

Um ... we lost our minds over a four-gamer (I don't count the exhibition).

If you could peel one off that group, it's Virginia, given its proximity to Maryland.

Jumpin'-freakin'-frijoles! Whodathunkit! I guess Mike will find something to ... do ... now that he's out of work.

I want Gunny Highway!

I have no problem with platooning the net if it keeps both guys fresh and winning.

Someone suggested "Regulators" for UND back during the search. Washington missed that option. It would've fit.

@HamboneSouth's video shows him as a DL, but he's listed "TE/FB" on his UND announcement tweet. And ... ?

Guardians and Commanders. < sigh >

People who live inside the Beltway Bubble?

In honor of Jacoby, Bostic, and Grimm they should've become ... The Washington Hogs Let the DC "pork" jokes follow.

I use the law firm of "Howe, Dewey, Cheatham, and Wynn." Their offspring opened a second office: "Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe." I'm here all week, try the veal, don't forget to tip your hostess.

To those who follow more closely: What's the focus today? To me it looks like specialists and defense (aside from the slot receiver over the weekend). More coming?
