Really shocked it's come to that.

My job is awesome. Great gal. Nobody I care about has died recently. We're rampaging throughs basketball and the NBA playoffs are coming up soon. I figure I'm one BJ away from a perfect day.

Herb Sendek was perfectly ordinary. At a lesser school in a power conference, he managed to never do well enough or poor enough to ever be on anyones radar. He was at Arizona State for *nine* years.


Pretty fascinating, really.

This seasons coaching carousel is going to be fun to watch. Especially if anything happens with Crean. Sendek was a dead man walking for a few years. I dont think he won half of his conference games in the decade or so he was at ASU.

Yeah, it's amazing what one NBA FA signing can do to revitalize a dying urban core.

Most civil economic experts credit the Bengals' drafting of AJ Green for the rebirth of the Over the Rhine area in Cincinnati. I haven't seen it myself, but apparently part of the Detroit municipal bankruptcy plan included the Pistons clearing cap room and trying to lure Anthony Davis or Steph Curry to town in the next few years.

That program should be dope in ALL sports given its location, resources, etc.

It's not like it's Starkville or something.

Birmingham dropped from #3 to #6 in "MURDER PER CAPITA" When MJ scored that minor league contract, so yes this is accurate.

Personally, though, I'd wait and see how Kevin Love's defensive metrics look the next few nights before making dinner reservations.

Just makes sense.

Also true is that the murder rate in Boston increased when Aaron Hernandez was drafted by the Patriots. Went up considerably, if I'm not mistaken.

Auburn Hills is in Oakland county, and not really close at all to downtown Detroit.

But on the way up there, exit 69 off I-75 is BIG BEAVER RD.

-W/ WS being preggo the dining has taken a step up. I can understand that, not wanting to crush bar food 3 times in one day.

-I've just fallen off the rails on the diet, always happens this time of year. Still working out but I think at this point it's basically worthless or just above that other than keeping my legs in decent enough shape I'm not crawling out of a massive hole after the season.

JUST HIT THE PAVEMENT ANTH I MEAN HOW HARD IS IT? HIT. THE. PAVEMENT. You'll be skinny in no time.



Yeah, March is pretty much helpless no matter what. Been pretty money during the week, which isn't enough to prevent multiple steps backwards each weekend. Oh well, it will be like that forever, I guess.

so Crean is really gonna get to stick around another year? wow.

coaching carousel over the next few years should be fascinating. can't imagine Krezewski, Roy, or Pitino have very many seasons left in them. Cal lasting past 8 years would be a gift. Top programs are gonna need to hire at around the same times. And a young crop of hungry lions waiting in the wings.

Marshall
Miller boys
Stevens once he is done padding his savings acct.

of course K & Pitino's ego they will have to have HEAVY hands in selection & approval of their replacements.

^Pretty much. There hasn't been a week that I didn't work out at least 5 days in months. For me it's just different. If I cheat more than 1-2 twice big per week it's a wash. It's just put on 2-3 lbs every one of these big trips. Last March, Bahamas, Cancun, Chicago, Christmas, SECT. Worked out every day at the SECT, that's pretty remarkable.

Oh well, bike season should be firing up about the time the tourney winds down. Blow it out a few more weeks then work it off I guess. With no crazy plans dragging me out of town really after that and a baby due in July I should be able to get back on.

It's true, Anth went for runs in Louisville I know.

And then we went out for 10 hours of pizza, beers, octopus and fries, a Ruby steak dinner, scotch, and then more beers.

That's pretty much the way I used to be, except substitute Pasquale's, Frisch's and McDonald's for the octopus, Ruby's and Scotch.

Now, I still enjoy the hours of eating and drinking without the running/biking getting in the way.

Maybe tomorrow.

All you have to do is quit traveling, eating out, having fun, and drinking booze during March, and it will be cake to keep the diet on track during that stretch.

Keep it fairly balanced. Been working out at least 6 days per week (mix of running, basketball, squash) and now am on my 10th day in a row doing something cardio wise.

On Friday morning woke up with a spitting draft beer headache from pregaming with the crew on Thursday. Coffee, vitamin water and then a run and bam... Felt immensely better.

Day drink all day on Friday afternoon enjoying the day off. Was so juiced for Saturday afternoon woke up at 7:00 am on Sat and went for a run.

Had a church league bball game on Sunday.

Now, I ate like crap all weekend from Thursday on but the workout gives me a sense of clearing out the toxins before I start back up and it gives me energy/balance. If I didn't I would irritable and sleepy.

-Tapdancing Christ this seems like the latest we've gotten into March without much change in the landscape. I mean, the cool grass has greened a bit but the rest of mother earth (trees, flowers, etc.) keeps saying winter. Sick and touching tired of it.

-Pretty much been living off of Chex traditional mix and Mingua beef jerky for lunch M-F at the new gig. Has to be terrible for me.

-Had to get a new birth certificate for my daughter at Frankfort today. Man, that big government office building (family resources, vital statistics, etc.,) is strange. Can't imagine working there everyday. Frankfort itself is strange for that matter. JMO.

-Hit Roux after the game Saturday. Was damn good. Also, they serve authentic chicory which 2 cups of was basically the equivalent of a 10mg of Adderall. Was pretty amazing. Definitely now on the grocery list.

-Like many of you, all in all I've about had it with a bunch of **** right now. Week is dragging. Must be the heightened anxiety from March. Hopefully the team has put down the Nintendo 64 controllers and perhaps given some thought to blowing WVU's doors off. Sick and touching tired of it. Sick of their cuteness/likability. MURDER someone already, damn it.

-Yeah, if I didn't at least do something I'd end up like Dr. B in no time. Plus it helps with the hangovers.

-Speaking of hangovers, been navigating them like a true pro these days. Crushing beer and shots all day, hanging out until the party starts to get to late, self imposed 12:30 curfew, up the next day, run, vitamins, light breakfast, boom. Worst one was Sunday and I really exaggerated it b/c I wanted to be lazy and watch basketball not b/c I felt awful.

If I'm in bed by 1a, I'm pretty golden and I honestly have no reason to be out any later than that these days.

-I think Miller might leave for UK, Duke or UNC. He may not but he's going to at least look. Got it great out there but they're still a step behind the big 3.

-Wouldn't be surprised to see Self take a stab at the League at some point.

-I knew Crean would be back, once the AD gave his blessing it meant he was a dead man walking but what's the harm in waiting a year? 12m buyout + whatever they're going to drop to lure the savior in? I mean Bama is throwing football coach money around, landing a big boy is going to take 3-4M this year.

I've touched on this before, but I touching hate football schools trying to buy/fabricate basketball prestige.

Texas
Ohio State
Ala-touching-bama

Touch all of you.

(And no, I don't care about whatever tradition they have. They're football schools.)

I'm taking a month off of running as a precautionary measure to fully heal a reocurring achilles issue. Also eating like a monster, still, and drinking way more than even normal. I feel like drxlarge right now. Should be 250-300 in no time at all.

Anth's diet went out the window when Sloot got pregnant. And while it may be "somewhat" in force, the Sympathy 10-15 lbs. is coming. You really don't have a choice in the matter.

I don't know a single guy who didn't gain weight with his wife...a lot of the times they didn't even know it was happening.

Welcome to fatherhood!

Oddly enough, the further along we go in this thing, the more likely we are to crush someone, IMO.
This is exactly how I feel, and why I think we destroy WVU on Thursday, and either one of Notre Dame or Wichita on Saturday.

The media is spending all week trying to think of reasons why WVU is scary, which will lead to much gasping when we buttf*ck them on national TV. The media are going to act surprised when it happens because they've convinced themselves that WVU is something they aren't, and that this UK team is just waiting to get upset.

If you run with this UK team, they will bury you in a shallow grave. That's a fact, boys.

*This in no way diminishes my illogical anxiety.

-Sam Vecenie doesn't get much mention around here, but he's been a solid follow all CBB season, and is good on those Parrish podcasts. He and Titus have been strong additions to the Twitter lineup for me this season.

-CBS Sports Network is usually really strong during the tournament, since they have the best access to everything, but it's been really hit-or-miss. Wally Szcerbiak(sp?) is strong, and I love the coverage of the post-game press conferences. But they keep insisting on putting doggone Alaa Abdelnaby and Mateen Cleaves on my screen, and they're both turrrrrible.

Also, you'd think they would just push everything else aside and go straight-up 24/7 tournament coverage during these two weekends, but instead they had a college hockey game showing instead of the KU/WSU presser on Sunday. Dropped the ball on that one.

-Jeff Capel may very well be the best that ASU can do. But you don't fire a guy SO THAT you can hire a guy like Capel, who is 117-92 as a head coach w/o Blake Griffin. Capel should be a fallback option, not a go-to for a high-major program with some resources.

-They'll give Crean the chance to get either Thomas Bryant or THON to plug that hole in the middle, then see what he does next year. Add one of those two guys, and they're pretty legit.

-And now, they're saying Lavin's in trouble at St. John's. There's a potential Hurley landing spot.

What's with that Tom Fornelli dude? I started following him after he picked UK to win the East in Football (lol)

That's gotta be the angriest/snarkiest 'national' dude on Twitter, with apologies to Stu Mandel.
