A misspelling, intentional or not, is not an oxymoron. An oxymoron is a perceived contradiction of terms, like "jumbo shrimp" or "Billy Packer - basketball commentator".

No, you didn't miss anything. Socal decided, for whater reason, to call Jurassic "Larry." Either he thinks he knows something we don't (possible that he thinks this), or he just thinks it's funny (also possible that he thinks this.)

I remember that discussion. To be fair, after about 300 games a year, one starts to lose track. As I said, <strike>"diminishing returns"</strike> "integrity."

note: I fixed it myself.

There's some quote somewhere to the effect that "when people tell you to go to hell, they're not praising you for being a devil's advocate."

Let's hear it for youth!!!

While I agree there is no replacement for experience and have heard many times to do as many games as possible, I find at my advanced age (47) if I do 5 or 6 games a day, I am just not as sharp and can't get up and down the court as well as I would like......hence the "diminsihing returns" others have spoken of many times.

Yup, 700 games a year is a conservative number, folks. Seriously.

Let's (apostrophe in the right place) see. If you do 600-700 games a year, at an average cost of a mere $30 per game, you would make $18K - $21K a year. If you did this for the last 7 years, you have made $126K-$147K. I'm impressed! :rolleyes:
