one of my friends from college (who is an elite marathoner herself) is married to a guy (Jordan Zwick) who competed in the 2015 speed golf championships, he finished in 4th! Won something like $3500 for his efforts.

i just wrote a reply about that at-bat lol i was at that game. I thought it was 16 though, but i could be mistaken. either way, it was a LOT.

I remember a Cubs/Dodgers game in LA around 2000-2002 where Alex Cora for the Dodgers kept fouling off pitches until finally, in the 16th pitch, he hit a home run. That was the final batter for the Cubs starter

Don’t forget the “chicken enthusiast”

“and the losing team rides home in a van, crying softly and emotionally freezing out whoever fucked up.” That’s a high-quality line right there, and 100% true.

(belated reply i know) a bunch of coworkers and i have an annual bracket pool, where we pick the brackets of EVERY conference tournament. It’s fun to root for some random SWAC Quarterfinal game b/c of it :)

I guess i’m part of that old-crotchety crowd that hates change (as much as a 31yo-male can be old and crotchety), but seriously, I love the LV version of it that i even randomly play it on YT during the year, just b/c LV is the man. Kudos to them for not screwing up like they did in 2010 (I’m a Jennifer Hudson fan…

What did that have anything to do with the question he asked? lol

Depends on the squad’s history. For a team like Leicester, and their fans, winning the Premier League would be an absolute dream come true and probably had zero thoughts of ever winning the CL, let alone competing in it. For teams that perennially finish towards the top of the table, winning the Champions League would…

I’m trying to copy/paste it onto every thread here, chief. Almost got ‘em covered!

um... pretty much any NCAA college basketball game. By rule, the clock stops on a made shot with under 1min to go in 2nd half and OT’s.

*does some research* Hmmm, looks like it’s all HS basketball that does that. I went to HS in CA, but never really paid attention to it, then moved to MN for college and been here since. I just figured that since the clock stops on a made shot in college/pros, it was something that HS did too. Learn something new every…

I’m guessing that Marshall missed their 3pt attempt at the end of 4th OT? B/c Waseca clearly made theirs with 1.0 left on the clock. As seen at end of 3rd OT, that’s more than enough time to tie it back up!

i assume there wasn’t a bonkers near-miss 70ft 3pt’er at the end of 4th OT. B/c he clearly sank that 3 with 1.0sec left on the clock, and nobody bothered to stop it after it swished through. ::shrug::

Either way, holy crap what an insane game.

As somebody with a 3000-1 bet riding on them, can i be VP of the bandwagon? :)

their 1st meeting, a 5-2 drubbing, now looks like LC just went out and got blitzed the night before

the 2nd one... well, being a man up for 45min helps, and even then needed every last second to get the game winner.

you’re right, I dunno how they did it either lol

I think he brought up the Trump issue NOW b/c tomorrow is Super Tuesday, and if there’s ever a time to get a ton of people’s attention to NOT vote for this bonkers candidate in the primaries, last night was it. Afterwards, it might be too late.

Woke up around the 60th min of the LEI-NOR match (had to work late night before), and was bemoaning each missed LEI chance, until their patented counterattck in that 89th min had me cheering more than i remember for any match in recent times. My 3000-1 bet on them is still alive! This has been the most fun bet EVER,…

Looks like Harrison is playing pretty good defense in the off-season too, just intercepted 16 in a single play!

...still attempting to figure out the point of that response...
