Good Evening B&G!

I think that answers a question Geo had. This is the first Jesuit Pope. So yes, GTown, being a Jesuit School, can be part of the Catholic 7 in the Big East.

Cuse won today after a slow start.......again. Would really enjoy them beating Pitt tomorrow and ultimately getting a redemption shot at GTown down the road. GTown has killed SU twice, maybe a the third time could be the charm.

I have never been so frustrated with a JB group. At the start of the year I had low expectations, lost too much talent. After 18-19 games I thought they could win the whole ball of wax. Now, I don't think they are worthy of whatever seed they get.

Anyway,

GO CUSE!       

These Addidas unis are so embarrassing.

LL, are you Catholic?

YES Phog I'am Catholic...........IRISH Catholic.........the worst kind........lol 

Kobe 

sorry Cleve

Good morning LL, JP and Cleve!

Good morning B&G!!!

Yet another trip to pick up supplies needed to clear the additional lot next to us we just purchased.  Looking forward to the day I can stop spending so much to "settle in," and just kick back.  LOL

Rok, I have missed out on something? Did your mother-in-law pass away?

No Phoggy, not my mother-in-law.  That lady is 95 and still kicking, albeit without any memory, but her personality and feisty outlook will outlive me.  The Senora's cousin passed away.  Her family is extremely large, and just as close.  My comments were aimed at the fact they're also aging rapidly.  Just a product of the circle of life.

Jonny, while my post may have sounded less than optimistic my friend, trust me when I say I've always followed your philosophy of "you're as old as feel, or act."  In my mind I stopped aging at 21 (Senora says 12). 


The Pats let Welker go to the Broncos?????  For injury plagued Danny Amendola, too??????  Peyton Manning (and Jonny) is a very happy man as I post this.  First really stupid move on the part of the Pats, in my opinion, of the Bellichick era.

On the other hand, the Browns signing Kruger at LB will mean they are putting together a very good D for next season.  Hopefully they can manage some signings to shore up the still impotent O.

Cleve, sorry about Kobe's ankle injury.  That's the third time he's been hacked by Jones.  Not a coincidence in my book. 

Don't forget to have your brackets ready Sunday evening.  March Madness is almost upon us.  My problem is remembering all the bracket leagues I've signed up for.  LOL


Before I head, I can't resist a weather forecast sharing for my slice of Tejas...six of the next seven days we will have sunny skies with highs in the 80s to low 90s.  That other day we'll "only" make it to 77. 


Catch up wit ya all later on. 



Rok

Good morning B&G..........

Don't forget to have your brackets ready Sunday evening.  March Madness is almost upon us.  My problem is remembering all the bracket leagues I've signed up for.  LOL

Rok..........GONZAGA BULLDOGS..........take them to the bank.



AND DO NOT FORGET ABOUT THE B&G BASEBALL DRAFT @ 7pm est ON SUNDAY MARCH 17 th......St.Patricks Day.        




The Broncos and the Seahawks in the Super Bowl........just a thought. 

Almost time for the big basketball binge I will always call March Madness.  For the first time in forever, since I'm retired, I can watch all four days of the first round.  Gotta get more beer though.

What, Rok?  Yer not a-gonna be watchin' the "Round of 32"??  That would be the third round.   Get with the new (3-year old)  tournamentology, ya Geezer!  

I have a STONE-COLD Leadpipe LOCK, sezz dat LIBERTY will be in Dayton, dueling for a 16-seed.  Probably for the right to play the #1 Overall seed.  Gonzaga?

$5.00


Only 2 things wrong with Big 10 Tourney hoops as far as I can tell.

1) Gus Johnson
2) Score is usually about that of a high-scoring NCAAFB game.


Goofers in double digits!  With aboot 4:40 left in the 1st!!   Wooo-hooooo!!

3) High-quality BTN audio.  

Hey Phogg Mama In-law, yer FAVE team, the Bucknell Bison, are back in the Big Dance this year.
Your thoughts .....

I am only sorry that Lehigh will not have the chance to play Dook again.

Seriously, this is the year we SHOULD exit early. We are not that good. We have been lucky most of the season.

I agree.  26-5 sukkksss canal water.  Part of being good is being lucky.

But if u insist, I'll be happy to watch the VCU Rams beat yer Phogghawkerzz mercilessly again.
10-1 the Selection Geniuses put them in the same region with rematch possibilities.
Bucknell will be in the same region as well.  About a 12 or 13-seed.  Mebbe they'll get VCU in Round 2 ..... Rok.

      HAVOC!!!

Beartender ... our ILLINI are really pizzin' me off.

Was that Roberto Duran?  That just lost that ball O-B for the ILLINI?
