Look, no one hates Willy more than I do here, but he's one of the few who consistently brings daily old school randoms. And he does a solid job of hitting various topics. Despite the fact I despise everything about him as a human being, I think he does a really good job in GYERO.

- Special day on the secret text thread, yesterday. Lots of good stories re-hashed, mostly about Bonzo. Anth trying to get in on the group --- doesn't feel right, IMO. We'll continue to talk it over as a group and see if he fits long-term. Jury still out, howeva.

You guys added me bub, let's not mix that up. The text thread I was in yesterday was much better. I prefer R vs the PG13.

Agree 100%.

During one game on Christmas Day against the Indiana Pacers, before the game Bird told Chuck Person that he had a Christmas present waiting for him.

During the game, when Person was on the bench, Bird shot a three-pointer on the baseline right in front of Person. Immediately after releasing the ball, Bird said to Person, “Merry f**king Christmas!”, and then the shot went in. This was no doubt inspired by Person (nicknamed the “Rifleman”) stating prior to the game that “The Rifleman is Coming, and He’s Going Bird Hunting.”

Really need a solid performance tomorrow afternoon to start feeling better about our where this team needs to be the closer we get to the Louisville game.

ASU is a solid team.

Have faith that once the game slows down for Murray he will so much more efficient and his shot will start falling.

Would love to see back to back solid performances by Poythress. He actually used good angles last game using his size & athleticism for dunks & bank shots.

Get Skal involved early. Use some pick & pop stuff and lobs.

tKinda sucks to be on the same side as Richie during basketball season for once. We're usually good for at least one intense text fight.

-Larry Bird made a 3 pointer? That's crazy. Curry has made more 3s this month than "Larry Legend" ([eyeroll]) made in his entire marginal & overrated career.

Sorry, but since I never saw that on a Nick Kroll comedy sketch, I don't believe this ever happened.

It's killing the vibe. Rich and Anth are the overwhelming optimist, "let the cake bake, Cal is going to turn this around, trust in Cal, they'll be fine, The Harrisons are just misunderstood... ok they're just a little frustrating."

That's GYERO. Rich has let his football negativity creep in and I'm not a fan.

Ha, Wodie. It's still early.

Last night while running I started to run through my mind the trials of the 10-11 & 13-14 teams. Realize you can't compare teams bc the makeup/personnel & strengths vs weaknesses are totally different with every team but as a whole I need to be more patient giving Cal the benefit of the doubt with reaching this group & possibly tweaking how they should play.

Skal will get better. He has no choice.

The game will slow down for Murray as it did for Knight.

Also need to realize that Poythress will
never be the skill player we want but he's still not 100% with his explosiveness & coming back from that type of injury is a process mentally and physically. Still believe we can have March 2014 Poythress.

We can't possibly shoot any worse so shots will start falling and that stuff is contagious.

We'll never be a bruising team in the middle nor a great shooting team but Cal doesn't nearly get enough credit with changing things up in season to maximize strengths and minimize weaknesses.

Really interesting stretch of three games coming up

Arizona St is #60 in KenPom
Ohio State is #55 in KenPom
Louisville is #11 in KenPom

Worst case scenario is they go 1-2

*she and him's Christmas album is a good one. Seth MacFarlane croons pretty well too.

"Christmas Island" by Leon Redbone is a great obscure tune.

*Not much better than hitting quota by mid December. Not stressed at all the last two weeks.

in lieu of just a cash prize for a sales contest, my company awarded me $1500 to spend with online retailers. Guess the new mizzy irons I've been eyeing are on the way. Anyone else's company do this?

*ran through Master of None yesterday and this morning. Really good. I assume that'll have another season? Halfway through man in the high castle. Also really good.

Lots of good tv shows, which I'll be able to watch over the next three weeks.

And yes, Anth, I'm still dusting off the ashes from the football dumpster fire and that has clouded my overall view of everything UK related.

I'll be back, bud. Just need to see improvement with this team trending in the right direction starting tomorrow.

Take care of biz against ASU & Ohio St and I'm on my way. Was given tix for the UK vs UL game as an early Bday present so I'll be at the Hyatt no later than 10:15 on 12/26 knocking back frosties and feeling feisty.

ASU pumped Texas A&M, and also handled NCSt & Creighton, two decent teams.

I fully expect a tough game Saturday. Guessing the spread will be around 9-10.

We're 2-7 ATS btw, yuck.

Should I take an O/U of regular season losses bet at 5.5? Obviously, the over is what I am entertaining.

I think so.
