We discussed it last night in the Chat Room.

And, Juulie's right, the travel in the first half was so long it made Lebron's crab dribble look like a short stroll........

PS - Join us in the Chat Room tonight and tomorrow to discuss the championship games real time......

Yea, we had some pretty interesting stuff to talk about, at least in the first game last night, and good discussions. Although it was pretty depressing to see Stanford get beaten so badly.

Reading what you're agreeing to is usually a good idea.

Mind if I send you some documents to sign? ;)

and then really crazy enough to keep it, which she said she intends to do.

We'll see.


Not a big deal for her to pay her scholarship back, her dad is former NFL player Bubba Paris. He cut the check the other night.

Doesn't have quite the same ring:

If we don't win it all, my daddy will pay my scholarship back.

I thought that was assumed from the minute she made the promise.

Of course, with her degree (if she's actually completing it) and potential earnings, she could pay her dad back with no interest.

Not sure this observation fits here, but, here it is.
I know it catches your ear when an announcer calls a "reaching in" foul or an "over the back" foul.
I fell out of my chair last night when the announcer called Hansbrough for a " Lower body root canal". Don't think that one is in the rule book. Any image of the signal for that infraction?

Like I tell my students learning American Sign Language when it comes to descriptions...what does it look like? Now I think I opened the floodgates of pervertedness! :eek:
