What pisses me off about Bo Ryan is that he's sanctimonious as hell about doing things "the right way," but his graduation rates (especially for black players) and how he treats players in general don't justify it. At least Bob Knight backed up his talk. Ryan is a straight d-bag hypocrite.
They schedule like that as an excuse not to let the players off for Christmas. It would look extremely petty if Pitino came out and actually said that he's keeping everyone in town to practice nonstop for Kentucky, so in order to provide cover for that he schedules a couple AA high school teams.
RE: Bo Ryan
It's come out in the last hour or so that the reason why Bo came back is because his longtime assistant and handpicked successor Greg Gard's dad was dying and he wanted to let Gard help his dad out while he could.
But the timing of that is off. Gard's dad died in October. Strange that Gard would go to Ryan in mid-December after a bunch of losses and say "I'm ready to coach the team now, thanks for everything". Gard was likely going to coach the team no matter what. Don't think Barry Alvarez was going to go against the wishes of Ryan.
All I know is Ryan is getting an awful lot of benefit of the doubt because of the "right way" garbage and I'm not willing to extend it to him, and I wouldn't be willing if we had won that game either. Our dudes taking countless knees to the groin in the 2014 Final Four game while their guys complained about EVERY call sealed the deal for me.

Bo Ryan will go to hell when he dies.
He'll like it there. He'll sit there with his arms folded and a smug smirk on his face while a bunch of demon babies gnaw on him and he'll grumble to anyone who listens about how it builds character.
Bo Ryan stepping down to join ISIS imo
Can everyone give Bo Ryan a break even though he is a raging DBAG by all accounts and most likely a terrible message board poster he looks great for 67
Supposed to be 66 on Christmas, 67 the day after. After a couple cold days this weekend the warm up continues. I'll take it. I know last year the end of the winter season was miserable but we have basically cut out 6 weeks of winter already. I'll take my chances going forward but so far it's been a great start.
- Love how the media has just bought into Hypocrite Ryan's narrative...instead of what really happened- quitting on his struggling team midseason. Can you imagine if Calipari would've "retired" midseason during the '13 season? Would he have be lauded for doing it ON HIS TERMS? [laughing]
- We have to toss our live Christmas tree because the lass's dumbass cat keeps eating it and throwing up. Her ownership of a cat is seriously the #1 thing I dislike about her. What miserable cretins. I immediately lose respect for people as soon as I find out they have a cat.
- We BETTER win on the 26th. Lass's mom is hosting a party that night.
- Going to be 77 in Williamsburg on Christmas Eve. :fire:

What happened is that Bo couldn't get a guarantee that Gard would be his successor so he made this play because he's a control-freak D-bag.
DeCoursey reported that Alvarez couldn't/wouldn't commit to Bo in public or private so now Bo pulls this power play. I can't imagine Alvarez is none too pleased with this.

Pet supply stores sell a spray called "Bitter Apple." Harmless, odorless, but tastes disgusting. Designed to stop dogs and cats from chewing. Both of our macbook cords had a healthy dose of it for awhile. You could try spraying the bottom of the tree with it and see if that helps. Might keep you from having to throw out the tree.
We've had two straight miserable winters. Three in a row pretty much never happens around here. We'll still see some cold and winter precipitation, but I doubt it is anything to write home about.
You could also just kill the cat and see if that helps.
This would be my first option, but it's clear that Chad has been putting the p***y on a pedestal. No pun intended. OR maybe pun intended. Whatever.
-Big chocolate milk guy although I only drink it *maybe* 1 time a year.
-NYE Wedding of a close friend. The optimal wedding date, imo (assuming the ******** football playoffs weren't that night this year). Plans known well in advance. Babysitter lined up. Formal event. No real time off for rehearsal dinner and other obligations. Free. Acceptable hangover day following. Christmas vibes. Pretty excited, actually.
-Meeting Mid-America security at the house at lunch to get a new alarm system. One we have came with the house. It's FINE, but I'm going all out with the latest and greatest. Protecting my most important asset, my family.
-Could use some seasonal wintry conditions.
-JCrew sweaters are good for one season. I'm DONE with those. Poor quality. On the same topic, years ago I went crewneck for all of my sweaters but am now 1,000% back in the vneck camp.
-Still trying to locate the sick ***, full Converse UK warmup suit my brothers and I bought my Dad in 97 with the diamond championship patch. From all accounts, Dad never wore it once so it should be pristine.

My wife loves to tell the story of our first date and the look on my face when she said she had a cat, which was immediately followed by my asking exactly how many cats she owned. She only had the one cat, but if the answer had been three or more there would have been no second date. A single woman living alone with three or more cats would have been a deal breaker.
Having a cat/s is a bigger no go than a kid IMO. Filthy, disgusting animals. Selfish. Pretty much the Bo Ryan of the domesticated animal world.
I can't stand collars/anything on my neck anymore. Beard/stubble rips the necklines to shreds. Team V-Neck.

That was the first thing she asked me, so in order to impress her I lied and said I played high school football, but not college. She was soooooo impressed by me playing high school football over a decade earlier, it was all I could do to keep her from servicing me at the table.
You know what? I love this word and wish more people would use it. So great job by you, especially in the context of cats, all of whom suck.
Strokin's post was interesting RE: Alvarez & Ryan. Wisconsin is a strange basketball place. They got Ryan after 2 .500-ish years at Milwaukee and an ungodly run at D-III UW-Platteville. There's maybe 45 D-III schools in Wisconsin, all varying from good to too good to be D-III. And it's always been a breeding ground for D-I coaches.
Wisconsin isn't a gig where you can hire just anybody and they can succeed. Knowing Alvarez, he'd want a dude who knows the area well and has big time winning experience as a head coach. Names like Pat Miller, Bob Semling and Gary Grzesk don't mean anything to anybody right now, but they're D-III superstars in the state and as weird as it is to say, I could see any one of them being Wisconsin's coach in 16-17 had Ryan not pulled off the power play that he did. Wisconsin almost always goes the D-III route.
****'s like sandpaper. Then again, I keep my shirts 10+ years, so that probably doesn't help matters.
just ordered a plain wool sweater from ll bean. like, real, generic, super itchy wool. the kind where you absolutely have to wear a shirt underneath. love it. warm, rugged, manly.
ll bean -- my go to for the basics. it's about as stylish as uko, but you can't go wrong with simple solid color merchandise. plain button downs, sweaters, khaki shorts, etc. great quality and price point. learn.
tip = their standard cut is pretty wide, as their demographic is overweight mid westerner. gotta go slim fit. definitely pays off, appearance wise. particularly with a nice build. on second thought, most of you are probably ok.

Just got a text from BBdK. He discovered this new kind of sweater called a "cardigan" and he's raving about it. Apparently- get this- it buttons down the front so it's easy to take on and off depending upon how warm it is. Says he might buy 3-4 of these cardigans.
Security system is great idea, hopefully acts as a deterrent and early warning device should someone break in your home. Maybe you can find a nice place to hide while you wait for the cops.
Protection? No.
I just dumped all of my v-necks and re-upped with crewnecks from my sole supplier, Uniqlo.
My goal is to not have a shootout in my house. If someone wants to charge up the stairs in my foyer while the alarm is blaring (and police are coming) to kill me, then so be it.
Controversial take: Monmouth's "skit" celebrations are overrated. Most of their spontaneous stuff is hilarious though.
I mean, what do the Monmouth bench players exactly do in practice? That's the type of stuff that requires choreography and creativity. Sure, it's fun. I can dig that, but it's pretty weird in retrospect.
