Wow, LSU with the super flagrant foul on Anthony Davis
second time today he’s gone down, but looks okay again
That's a fair ejection, I think
they need to do what they can to get rid of plays like that where somebody tackles a guy from behind on a breakaway

Am I the only person watching the Farmer's Insurance Open at Torrey Pines until the game tips off?
Oh, yeah, probably so…
"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

I left TNT on after a Celtics game earlier this week, and LOTR Return of the King came on. With commercials, the running time was 4:15.

The Pacific Coast
Torrey Pines is so beautiful. My ex and I spent three weeks near La Jolla 13 years ago at training seminars. There are walking trails around Torrey Pines that we took of advantage of….nothing prettier. That being said, I’m watching Pitt vs. Georgetown….no golf, no Torrey Pines. Personal priorities, I guess.
I'd love to visit that area.

Against bad teams like this, we can just lean on them all night and slowly build the lead. This is exactly how the Georgia game should’ve gone.

We need this
a big, comfortable win would be huge if we can keep this going – and with our defense leads should be much stronger. Have we blown a lead of more than five or so all year?

30-16 Vols at halftime
Let’s see if we can hold them under 40.
We shot just 33%. But they shot 25%. +3 in turnovers, +9 in rebounds. Great defense, again.
Really like how this team defends
doing work. Formula for postseason success….eventually…..being strong in the half court game.
