Was a rep player for MB in the very first Jimmy V golf tourney. Met and partied with a who's who group of players and coaches. I got 1 on1 time with K, coach Smith, PJ , Bobby Cremins, Patino, Barkley , Berman and many more.
Truly an amazing experience I will never forget. Not to mention tons of Nike golf swag.

Good of you to mention all of the other equivalent coaches!  Especially Petino!  Right on plane with K. Do they charge for S & H?

Yeah, anyone need a place, we got you covered.

This is what makes this place special. Yeah, we may be askholes sometimes but got dammit there are some great people here.

And a lot of it isn't even seen. I couldn't begin to tell you how many people have reached out behind the scenes via PM to me to offer up assistance, offering help, etc.. It happens each and every day.

Proud to be a part of this group!

@nolaegghead check out Dr. Jeff Masters thoughts on your situation. "New  Orleans levee achillies heel" from last week.

Best hopes and prayers for our NO friends. It looks pretty rough.

@nolaegghead Hope all goes well. 

In other news I have my first roll of pink butcher paper and a brisky in the freezer. Whatever shall I do???

Enjoying a neat Four Roses

Best SRF I’ve done recently finished in paper. Best flat I’ve ever made. Have fun.

As much as it kills me to admit this as a  Carolina fan. Coach K is one of the nicest people I have ever met and maybe the best BB coach of all time.

Horseshit!  He’s a good coach.  The shipping and handling fees???

Hard to imagine a world where someone doesn’t absolutely love Coach K.

You folks in the Gulf be safe. Hope the New Orleans crowd stays above water.

Read it.  I've enjoyed (and have had total PTSD) reading Dr Jeff Master's articles/blogs through the year.

We get PTSD from riding out Katrina whenever this crap hits us.  Relatively small town and you know lots of people having lived here for decades and I always know someone that gets the proverbial shaft from mother nature during these abhorrent weather events. 

That said, we are as prepared as one can be and can't wait to put this week behind us.

I picked up 4 handles of Evan Williams at Dornignacs Grocery and some other provisions today.  Weird seeing all the abandoned cars that got flooded out and dirt all over the roads from water.  The neutral ground in my hood is covered with cars looking for high ground.  I don't think we're going to get any serious rain until Friday or Sat, so I just parked on the street tonight.

For now.

Look, I have tried to hate him for most of my life and probably all of yours but the fact is he is an amazing coach. There are many in the sports world that say he is the goat. Make your case for some one else...

She’s great.  Arguably the best soccer player in the world right now.  And this quote says it all:

“I think I’m particularly and uniquely and very deeply American.  If we want to talk about the ideals that we stand for, the song and the anthem, and what we were founded on. I think I’m extremely American.  I know that I’m not perfect. But I think that I stand for honesty and for truth and for wanting to have the conversation. Looking at the country honestly and saying, yes, we are a great country, and there are many things that are so amazing and I feel very fortunate to be in this country. I would never be able to do this in a lot of other places. But also: that doesn’t mean we can’t get better. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t always strive to be better.”

I think her hate of Trump has mesmerized you. ESPN ranked her the 10th best player in the World Cup and not even the best player on the USA team.

I didn’t say anything about Trump.  You can draw that inference based on the pic I guess, but it’s not about that for me.  And I’ll use this as a reminder of your common refrain about keeping this thread politics-free.

As for soccer evaluations, I’m not sure your appeal to ESPN as an authority on the topic has much value here.  It’s clear she was central to the US’s World Cup run, and she received what is effectively the MVP award.  That’s good enough for me.  I think we should all be happy to celebrate her and the team’s considerable athletic achievement and be proud of them and our country.  TIA.

You could have used any pic of Megan including the one I used. Of course, you had to use a pic that effectively was a Trump bashing moment. You might be a college professor, but the rest of us are not stupid.

You mean the one where you called her Anderson Cooper?  OK.  How nice of you.

That pic I posted from the NY Daily News is not a pic of a "Trump bashing moment".  It's a pic from their parade in NYC yesterday.   If you view the headline as bashing Trump rather than a simple play on his favorite slogan then you might want to seek therapy.
