The Raiders are back. And this is the type of **** the NFL needs. Ol' Johnny From the River *gets it* in that respect

Love watching the bowl games. Good to see how conferences match up with each other. Also seems like a major party of the whole holiday equation.

Man, no doubt. Im counting down the minutes for that Quick Lane Detroit Bowl of Maryland vs Boston College. Should be some high quality football. Idaho-Colorado St. is another cant miss game to see how the conferences matchup, as well Old Dominion-Eastern Michigan. I mean that bowl slate that CoolCat posted is UNREAL. I printed it out and hung it on my fridge so I dont miss a single game!!!!!!!

College bowls are complete and total dogshit except for about 5 of the 40 games. Its BY FAR the worst post season of any sport in the world. Its complete garbage and I wont watch a single game until New Years Eve day.

Any of you frequent travelballs @anthonys735 @ukguy78 @B.B.d.K. @LadyCat92 have suggestions for solid luggage?

Parents offering to buy us "nice" luggage this year and I'm trying to find decent deals online buy so hard to gauge quality.

TIA wildcat friends

No personal recs, but I've always heard good things about Briggs&Riley and Rimowa. Checked luggage takes such a beating that I've always been hesitant to shell out for anything really high-end. I've just gone the route of replacing my Samsonite stuff every three years or so.

LSU taking down LAMAR and BOBBY seems appealing but maybe that's just me.

 

[ukcats2008_rivals103438]

Perfect antidote to any lingering negativity about U.K. basketball from yesterday: at the UC game vs Bowling Green. This is pathetic, even compared to X, let alone U.K. And they think they're a basketball school.

 

[drxman1]

Loaded up on some travel pro this summer at Macy's. Had a bunch of discounts, got their high end stuff on the cheap.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Having absolutely ZERO bowl games on 1/1 is still weird to me. I don't like it.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

I think I read somewhere the bowls that feature B1G teams must kickoff at 11:00 a.m. Could be a law, I don't know.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

What did the BW3 Bowl use to be?

 

[anthonys735]

What did the BW3 Bowl use to be?

Citrus.

Said this one Twitter but it's so appropriate that UL is in the BW3 bowl. Only more fitting sponsor for that piece of **** team would be Deja Vu.

 

[catholic_back]

Thanks for recs guys.

Amazon had a huge sale on the high end Tumi on cyber Monday, glad I didn't pull trigger then I guess.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

That kangaroo was a little *****, as most roos are. Got straight pwned and ran off like a little punk *****.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Giraffe would have pwned

 

[cricket3]

OH THE HORROR :scream: someone who admired Auerbach had the nerve to tell her how cool they thought her job is when she was busy.

Hopefully she gets 5000 emails when the selection show starts this year.

Been that way before when 1/1 falls on a NFL Sunday..

 

[GrandePdre]

Really thought U of L would get the P*ssySlayer Bowl.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Wtf, man, I mean wtf

 

[Wrong]

Maybe this is too much common sense but why don't you ignore the emails if you don't have time to answer them?

 

[Barrett Lindsey]

Thought I'd stop in this morning because it's been a while since I've had my intelligence insulted.

-TaxSlayer Bowl [banana]. Really proud of those guys. Makes it even better we cost UofL an Orange Bowl bid in the process.

-I LOVE our :basketball: squad this year. Not concerned about Saturday's loss. Guys just need to keep playing. Although, Willis repeatedly passing up open looks is maddening.

-UCLA is nice AF.

-Season one of Westworld was better than GoT's first season imo. Not sure how they are going to be able to keep it up though. Seems like a lot of shows that have came out fairly recently start out with killer first seasons and follow it up with a dud (Bloodline, True Detective, etc).

-Working on a KSR post for tomorrow that I'm having a tough time with, so I need some opinions.

I'm making an 8 team NBA Jam style tournament bracket, each team is a Cal era duo. I'm seeding the teams 1-4 in two different regions. I'm gonna post the first round match-ups with individual interactive polls so the readers can decide who moves on.

Who would you choose for the rosters/how would you seed them?

I've got:
1. Wall/Cousins
2. Monk/Adebayo
3. Goodwin/Noel
4. Murray/Lee

1. Lamb/Davis
2. Booker/Towns
3. Knight/Jones
4. Harrison/Randle

It was harder seeding than I thought it would be when basing it off of what works in NBA Jam as opposed to how good the players are individually.

 

[Mattox]

Replace Lee with Poythress.

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

No Tyler Ulis, 1st Team All-American? Maybe he's just the Michael Jordan of NBA Jam.

 

[cricket3]

NBA Jam: Guy who can shoot 3's + Guy who can block shots. Bonus if you can get a guy who can shoot 3's and block shots.

Your could roll with Booker/Towns or Lamb/Davis and be set.

 

[anthonys735]

-Go back and forth of Emma Stone, of course she's hot but then sometimes I'm like her mouth and eyes are too big. Red heads, though.

-Speaking of, facetimed with PTI/monkeydoctor last night. Dude, if you make my wife fall in love with another girl and leave us with baggage again I'm going to kill you.

-Should be interesting totting a 1.5 year old around the Southeast and Jax for this bowl game. He loves him some sports though and the grandparents will be in tow.

-Hollywood Casino is an interesting place. I mean that, not sure if it's greasy good or greasy awful.

-Time for a winter time sports coat. Suggestions?

-Stayed up way too late entertaining guests then watching Westworld. Feel like it has tons of direction it could go but it'll be hard to top that first season. Man, Delores and Maeve are saucey. Bullish on Clementine.

-Little man went stiff as a board protesting Santa pics yesterday. :joy: Was all about the miniature horses that were apparently present at the birth of JC.

-Ulis/Davis and you all can have the rest.

-Hopefully Brohm heads off to Baylor. Don't need Cincy gaining any recruiting momentum in our 2nd state.

Pics of kids freaking the eff out on Santa's lap >>>>>>>>> cute pics of kids with Santa


The pics of the kids freaking out make better holiday mementos

 

[RandomUser]

^ I assume Slice was pairing those that had played together based on his pairings, though that may be worth spelling out. Agree w/ Poythress for Lee.

That was the idea but he went plank position on me. Power move. Just stiff as a board.

 

[BBdK]

Poythress been going off in the D-League, which is kinda surprising to me -- didn't even think he'd make a dent down there.






Dude as been averaging 20+ over the past few weeks. :fire:

 

[TransyCat09]

The stages of reading a b rax post

 

[Barrett Lindsey]

Poythress and Lee is what I couldn't decide on. Probably will switch to Poythress. They had to play on the same team. Didn't go with Ulis because his game isn't suited as well for NBA Jam as Murray. Short players get everything blocked.

Wtf????

See Starks/Ewing

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Isaiah Thomas/Bill Laimbeer were dope too

 

[BBdK]

Short players get everything blocked.

Sounds like you suck at NBA Jam

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Tyler Ulis got his shot blocked all the time. Lol. B/c he's short. [eyeroll]

 

[_Chase_]

Ulis/Towns over Booker/Towns. They played together and you just can't leave Ulis out.

 

[Barrett Lindsey]

Sounds like you suck at NBA Jam

I'm always down to play. I like my chances with Murray/Poythress against you with Ulis (5*MAX)

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Why not have Booker/Towns AND Ulis/Cauley-Stein????

 

[Mattox]

I'll defend leaving Ulis off. You don't need a "floor general" in NBA Jam. That's Ulis's greatest strength. He did this by team. To put Ulis in he would have to exclude Jamal Murray or Devin Booker. Both players' skill sets are ideal for NBA Jam.

Plus the game is called NBA Jam not NCAA Jam. No chance in hell Ulis has a better NBA career than either of those guys.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

It's well-established that layups are harder to block than jams on NBA Jam. That's why Muggsy Bogues is such a tremendous pain in the *** on there.

 

[UKwizard]

This is why Lamb would be dope af. He never dunked the ball and would be killer from 3.

If you are going to do this right you need to find someone who will photoshop the players into their own NBA jam cards like someone did for current NBA players complete with skill ratings.

 

[BBdK]

And the best NBA Jam/Hangtime players like myself do their work on defense/steals, Ulis would be a pest -- Slice and Alex wouldn't get the ball past half court 50% of the time.
