I would pay to see a WNBA All Star team vs a group of middle aged dudes.
The last NBA Allstar game I can remember actually watching was Jordan's last. Carter was supposed to start but wanted to give up his spot in the lineup to MJ. MJ refused at first but relented when Carter said he wouldn't leave the locker room until he agreed.
MJ hit that would be game winning shot sending the arena into a frenzy. Then Kobe gets fouled. I forget who it was came over to tell him to miss the FTs on purpose only to have Kobe give him a "get the eff out of here with that ****" stare. Kobe hits them and it goes to OT where the west wins.
Sometime after that the game became a joke.

All of the white guys are from Europe and the best black Canadian guy is SGA. #TeamBrotha
Luka
Jokic
Sengun
Sabonis
Porzingis
M. Wagner
F. Wagner
Tatum
Holmgren
T. Jerome
Booker
Lavine
Took some liberties but this team could win.
Would be hilarious to tell Tatum and Booker that we're doing blacks v whites and they are white guys.
Family Feud plays blacks vs whites every episode so the concept isn’t as controversial as you may think.
We did blacks vs whites in gym class - Ballard high. Every now and then, we only had 4 whites and had to snag a guy from the other side called Casper.
We always did well against their hero ball. Shooters shoot…and Casper enjoyed the days he got to join up with us.

********. Yes we are missing key players and would have won if they had played, but the tired EXCUSE does not past the smell test.

Pope has beaten #2 Florida, #3 Duke, #6 Tennessee twice and #7 TexAM. The man can coach. Just get healthy as possible and let's go!
When I was in 6th grade we had a team of white 8 boys who were pretty much the best team in the mid-sized city I lived in. We had been playing together since 2nd grade, so we were not only good individual players, but we just knew what the others were going to do. It was beautiful basketball for 6th grade.
However, there was a black team in town we never got to play. Their coach was my school bus driver and when I asked him about it he just sort of laughed and said "any time any place".
We never played, but the next year in gym class we had our top 5 guys play their top 2 guys plus several bums in a pickup game. Sure enough, they beat the absolute brakes off us. Those two dudes went to UMass and Texas for basketball five years later so at least there was that.
Edit: those two guys beat Ron Mercer's Goodpasture and Oak Hill teams in back to back years, so they were pretty bad ***.

Considering 8 of your players was not a all star and 3 are black, I do not see your reasoning ? Hell if you are going THAT far, just do lights v/s darks. BUT the players actually would have to be named to the All Star roster first before they can actually play in a All Star game maybe ( you left a white player who DID make the team, Tyler Herro) ? Then you would have the controversial task of defining light / dark.
USA against the world is the only way to make it interesting and maybe even have the players give 80% effort.
… last couple pages.Start a new one, for Pete’s sake.
It lives on via screen shot
Post it.
Everyone should see any response that isn’t “yea my bad ever since Popes first loss”.

This year was about not having Cal and maybe being able to enjoy basketball during the winter for once.
Pope threw together a team in a month and has done a better job with them than Cal did over the last 10 years.
We’ve been without a full roster for 2 months and with 2 starters missing, for about the same time frame. What do you expect, without our PG and his backup?
We’ve beaten the better teams when we have everyone healthy. Just let them get healthy again before the tournament and let’s see what happens. I like my team.

Wait, didn’t we just have a de facto
whites v black guys all-star game which was Serbia v USA in the Olympics? I think if you added the top 3 non-Serbian white players to that team (not including Tatum and Booker) but then added the top 3 non-American black guys (SGA, Giannis, Wemby), the black team will get better.

- Still awaiting Vern’s Top 10 courts in college basketball.
But if Mich St, Arizona, UK, Duke, and Kansas aren’t Top 5 I think I’d be disapointed.
- Speaking of Arizona I hope like hell Baylor pulls the upset tonight. They’ve had a few big wins in the last two weeks and they are the one west coast team I’d want to keep some distance from if possible.
- I know it’s a safety thing but I’m fed up with NTI. I was had a post set earlier and thought better of it, but tonight we got word it’s NTI again tomorrow and most likely Wednesday too.
Almost 7 weeks into 2025 and my kids haven’t been to school for 5 days in a week yet.
- When building a house if you are a deck/patio person pay attention to the direction of your house. I did not do this and our deck although “covered” has been buried in snow and there is barely a dry seat in the rain on a 25x12 deck.
- Rewatching Mad Men and I miss life without cell phones.
- Really liked the new meat processor 80 proof is using. Ended up buying a few hundo extra in stuff and looking forward to trying some of it out.

I forgot all about it. I would actually put UK #1. I love the changes. Looks wonderful. I like all your picks. The changes Kansas made were on point. The Allen Fieldhouse lettering is perfect. IU was top 5 until the decided to put that eye chart on both ends of the court. Pitt is definitely in my top 10. I put them over Michigan St.
I would agree with both. I've been to Hinkle. What a special place!
Wish napalm would hit it, really.
The mockingbird is an amazing creature. Watching him defend his berry bushes in the dead of winter - just relentless, and no quarter shown whatsoever.

Good to see something finally go right in life for those ragtag kids from Sayre.
* I’d like to start this day of posting with a land acknowledgment.
* I’ll put our healthy squad up against anyone. Gotta just get us to the Big Dance and let it play out.
* Our intramural team name in high school was “9 1/2 White Guys.”
Not sure that would fly today.
* At the encouragement of the lass, I’ll be doing the Camino de Santiago this summer. I don’t have time to complete the entire French Way, but hoping to run/walk about 350 miles of it over about 10 days.
* Speaking of lassies: she’s built her race production business about half on her own, and about half taking over for a friend who’s been in the biz for 40+ years. He somewhat abruptly decided this weekend he’s basically done, and handing over what he’s got left to her immediately.
Pretty bittersweet. I’m very happy for her success, but also sad to see someone whos given his whole life step away for good.
* We get “bust out the winter coat” weather about 4 days a year. It was 80 this weekend. So while you Northerners are miserable, I’m really looking forward to the freezing temps this weekend.
* It’s seriously dangerous the way people just have headphones in all day long in public. Like yesterday, I literally lifted my leg to let out a huge fart and didn’t realize there was someone at the table next to me. Did they hear it? Hard to tell since I was rocking out. Very scary.
* Holy smokes I’m pumped about this weekend.
* ‘Gamo make fur lined fishing mocs?
Asking for a friend.
* Some great media types:
Glenn Greenwald
Jimmy Dore
Aaron Mate
Krystal & Sagaar
Max Blumenthal
Comic Dave Smith
* For you comedy fans: New Orleans is hosting this years Skankfest. Some of us local drunks in the running community are working on a Beer Mile for the event. Cross my fingers we can pull this off. I actually invited Bert Kreischer two weeks ago and and he said “F yeah that sounds awesome.”
* I’m seeing lots of faux outrage over Tom Hank’s’ MAGA character from Black Jeopardy.
Do people still fall for this nonsense? That character is like 8 years old.
* Sit the whole team tomorrow. And Saturday. I really don’t care. Just get these guys healthy.
* Elly de la Cruz.

Tito Francona gonna get the most out of those dudes. Truth.
Juan Soto is a *****.
Juan Soto is a *****.
Powerful combination of native headdress and COVID mask.
Kinda disappointed no middle eastern or rainbow flag. Would have hit all the high notes.
That Cumberlands footage is crazy.
Good for Toots. Nothing like familial pride. I'd be sharing that with everyone I knew. Kid will remember that for the rest of his life.

How to sync Tom Leach and Jack Givens' radio broadcast with a muted TV for Kentucky games
Many have asked, so here's one way to sync up Tom Leach and Jack Givens with the TV broadcast for UK Basketball games.
What does it say that I immediately know she was teaching Sine, Cosine, and Tangent.
I learned SOH CAH TOA in high school, just without the native headdress.

Highly recommend anyone looking for locally raised and processed meat to check them out. Right off BG parkway at the Lawrenceburg/Harrodsburg exit (hwy 127).
