Paging Cider Jim!

Wish I had time for leisure reading these days. But I did hit a couple of the Inkling hangouts when I was in Oxford a couple of months ago. Larry Eillison of Oracle bought the Bird & Baby but the renovations aren't exactly flying along yet.

He was Gatorade National Player of the Year as a junior here in Greater Houston and just led his team to an unprecedented back-to-back 6A state championship. And how he capped off his HS career in double OT on this 30-yard free kick will be tough to top for the Flames. https://twitter.com/vypehousto...

Since ESPN essentially owns both the SEC & ACC rights, it would be no skin off their back if there was a move. My guess is that such a move would involve reduced distributions to the new schools for a number of years to buffer ESPN's already significant financial challenges these days. Right now the...

Big XII is a stronger possibility as the SEC would be a massive long shot. The old days of legisltaures pressuring decisions is primarily a relic of the past in the big money world we live in today.

Neither FSU nor Clemson bring new markets of any significance to the SEC. Both would be a boon to the Big XII even though neither are viable options for the B1G due to academics. UNC & UVa would potentially be coveted by both leagues leaving those schoools debating among their regents whether they v...

And don't forget that he was at Greenup County before he transferred. Can I get a witness, Phoenix?

Coach McKay has demonstrated in recent years that he is open to that conversation.

Sounds like you are all in on NM State.

I remember when I arrived on campus in the Mid '80s, I assumed that our hoops coach was Ray's other son. :lol: But classic DePaul basketball will always be Mark Aguirre to me. There haven't been many Mexican-Americans to make an impact in hoops over the years. Alongside of Devin Booker, he's been th...

Ill Flame beat me to it. Wichita State has nas been a top 50 MBB program for most of the past fifty years. The timing of their collapse as they moved into the AAC was purely coincidental. Ole Purple Face had them ranked in the Top 10 several times during his stint in the Aviation City. Alongside Cre...

Tony Altimore is not well regarded in many circles at all. He does produce some attractive graphics. Bully for him on that. But he was one of the Pac-12's chief apologists through that entire ugly demise.

At what point in history was the ACC ever any better than the 4th best league in the nation? Until the PAC imploded they had been firmly planted in 5th or 6th best league for nearly a century.

With all due respect, Atrain was in Dallas in his very short stint in Texas. So he knows little about the quality of H-E-Bs. Trader Joes is ALDI's more pretentious cousin. The same family runs both chains. I like ALDI because I can get in and out in less than ten minutes in most cases. TJ's alsways ...

Ive gone there a few times since moving to texas but I'm pretty indifferent toward it. Seems like the texas version of Safeway or publix. I can't really say I've experienced much of the texas culture though considering very few people I meet are actually from here. The H-E-Bs in San Antonio, Austin...

The great unwashed have no clue what an HEB is. They still think Wegmans is where it is at.

This series just makes too much sense not to happen. Kudos to Ian & Mickey for closing the deal. Frankly I am bit surprised that the UMass games haven't been either moved or dropped following in the footsteps of the Army series (which incidentally I still miss). The Minutemen are in the same bind th...

If the board members were not on the Executive Committee, I would place them in the likely completely uninformed category. In most cases, I would also place them firmly in the "Have no business serving on the LU board " category as well. The recent statements by Costin on moving away from politics t...

What an awesome experience for him!

Sorry that I missed the fun. But I have a flight to London today that led Mrs Sly to veto my plans.

Sam has a pretty stout squad right now. As for the whistles, prepare to have Haize & Smoothie racing to defend anyone besmirching the honor of those calls.

Best airports for each game: Sep 7th - NM State The best option is ELP which is just under an hour away from La Cruces. I have actually made that run in about 40-45 minutes non-rush hour. However with limited service into El Paso primarily from Southwest, the secondary option would be ABQ . Albuquer...
