I'm honestly not even sure why I picked Pitt since they've been a bust for the last few years.

UCONN still has a chance. Marquette won’t do shit. I really hope Richmond or VCU makes it to the Final Four. That will be the only reason I watch now

If they both make the final 4, it's going to save a lot of brackets. That's another reason to root for it.

Yes. Cuse and Louiville in the final doesn't look so good in hindsight.

They need to lose. If they make the final four, it's going to be Tebow all over again.

I mean, Jimmer Fredette is literally JJ Reddick. The last thing we need to see is him getting drafted with a high 1st round pick.

I got crushed on the first Thursday, but I'm liking my bracket at this point

I still have all my final 4 teams at least. Which is really all that matters.

 In our bracket I have sdsu and in my others I have uconn, so that’ll put a dent into one of my brackets. Definitely rooting for sdsu.

Basically I think I’ll be making a decent move up in the standings relatively soon.

I knew this was the worst I've ever done on one of these, but now I'm just embarrassed.

My only saving grace is that all of my Final 4 teams are still alive. Granted, I’m sure they’ll all lose their next game but it’s as much of a silver lining as I can find.

I escaped from AT&T to T-Mo because it was the only one left that used SIM cards so I could use it on my unlocked iPhone.

That’ll probably end in 12 months, AT&T has a way of telling if the phone connected to the SIM is an iPhone. So I’ll be forced to pay their iPhone wallet raper plan.

They play incredible D, but they usually don't hit any shots

When the shots are falling thenwatch out. I doubt they shoot as well as they did last night again.

They can definitely make it to the elite 8 though because VCU is as easy of a matchup as there is in the sweet sixteen.

I can’t see them beating Kansas though

Texas lost direcly because of coaching

I dont know what they called a timeout, forcing them to make a tough inbound. They could have let AZ foul them, but the coach most likely told his guys to call a TO if they got the board. This lead to the 5second turnover and they lost.

is in practice where he molds these guys to play the game his way. If they execute what they are trained then there is no reason to adapt as they can beat any team no matter how good or bad.

You apparently caught a really good week, weather-wise.

But yeah, I love it. It’s a major city that doesn’t feel unwieldingly massive. Lots of green space, (free) cultural amenities, and good public transit.

The weather was great. Clear skies and no colder than mid-30's at night/no warmer than high-50's during the day.

Did all the usual monuments, pub quizzes, and such. Only made it through Foggy Bottom/GWU once. Nice area. It looked like they were almost finished building a lot of new apartments. Looked like a cool place to live.

The Metro is about perfect. I’m so jealous we don’t have one in Tampa (yet).

Foggy Bottom is well-located.

It’s a little lacking for activity on the weekends because of all the office buildings located on the east side of campus, but Dupont, Georgetown, and Downtown are only a twenty minute walk each, so it’s really nice. At least you feel like you’re a part of the city being there, unlike at AU and Georgetown.

The Avenue looks like a neat development. I think some of the office component to it has already opened, but I think the residential and retail will come online in May. IIRC, there is a Whole Foods, Sweetgreen, and some burger place going into the retail space, so it should be a good activity center. I just wish that a second entrance to the Foggy Bottom station had been incorporated into the project, because it’s the busiest single-entrance station in the system and it gets crushed at peak times.

Metro is a really cool asset. It gets derided a lot, often for good reasons, but the area is much better for having it. I can’t imagine living without it.

But overall, everything is really dense.

I’ve been trying to figure out whether that comes with time or with population or both. I read something the other day about how the greater Tampa area has reached it’s limit as far as urban sprawl. Some Urban Planning professor was saying that most cities branch out only within a certain radius then turn inward and Tampa is at that limit.

Jupiter is probably significantly cheaper.

It and everything north of it in St. Lucie County got hit hard by the housing bust. I was at that ST complex a couple of years ago, and it was remarkable how desolate the town center-like development next to it was.

by Patrick L. Kennedy on Mar 21, 2011 11:45 AM EDT up reply actions  

yeah, we all call Abacoa the grand failure of urban planning.

the only things that succeed there are bars, and I’ve watched many establishments come and go here over the past few years. Kind of depressing, but the soccer moms and yuppies that decide what goes and what stays have done some serious damage to what could have been. It was originally supposed to have a grocery store (publix?) on the inside…dunno how that would have worked. And the apartments should be cheaper to be able to support low-middle income families. As is, those rents in the towncenter aren’t terrible but are still pretty high considering said bust.

by pudieron89 on Mar 21, 2011 11:50 AM EDT up reply actions  

and the downtown is pretty interesting...

they really carved it right out of the low-income housing. None of that stuff existed 5 years ago and it was all incredibly dangerous.

Yeah and I really like that I'd be able to sell my car if I went to Chicago or Boston...but I'd also be much further from family than right across the state

also like the weather here better overall. And between Chicago and Boston themselves, I’m under the impression that Chicago is much cheaper.

by pudieron89 on Mar 21, 2011 11:42 AM EDT up reply actions  

basically I'd be in a suburb outside of any of these cities, like Jupiter to WPB.

Sorry I took this as meaning the no-fly zone wouldn't do anything.
It’s not just air support. It’s tanks, and mortars, and a stronger force overall.

by firemangreg on Mar 21, 2011 2:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

A few weeks ago, you were talking about how the two sides were on an equal playing field.

Which wasn’t the case at all. Gaddafi just hadn’t pulled out all the stops until a few days ago, and when he did, he crushed the rebels, so the UN (finally) placed the no-fly zone down on him. Which he didn’t break. but he was attacked anyways, because he refused to stand down, and even if he was “allowed” to fly his planes. not one of them was ever going to leave the ground once France moved in.

Did placing the no-fly zone on them save us some money on the production of tomahawk missiles, yes, but please, don’t sit here and act like those planes were just going to be allowed to fly around and attack us, or any other allied force.

by ballsdeep187 on Mar 21, 2011 2:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

If I said they were equal, I misspoke. But it was certainly not as lopsided as you were describing.

Where do I say that Gaddafi’s forces would be allowed to attack us? I don’t say anything close to resembling that in any post I’ve made. Talk about reading comprehension fail.

by firemangreg on Mar 21, 2011 2:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

So, you're saying he was just going to bomb his cities and somehow ignore France's jets, our bombers, and our cruise missiles?

I just assumed that if his planes were still allowed to fly, they would be forced into fights with the allies. You might not have said that, but that’s the only other outcome. Unless you claim the no-fly zone caused him to retreat, which it didn’t.

The rebels were using beds as barricades. Gaddafi has tanks, planes, ships, any and all weaponry. I’m not sure what you have been reading, but these rebels are using handmade grenades, and molotov cocktails. Gaddafi just waited to show his hand, hoping he could keep the UN out of it. The no-fly zone was just a diplomatic way to get us in the door. Gaddafi could have easily won without ever having a plane leave the ground.

by ballsdeep187 on Mar 21, 2011 3:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't understand what you're saying about the no-fly zone. Did you not expect airstrips and planes to be bombed? We knew there would be some military action to ground Gaddafi's air force.

You also left out the part where a number of his commanders have defected and arms warehouses have been taken over by rebel forces. I’m sure some are using improvised weapons but a much larger segment are well armed.

by firemangreg on Mar 21, 2011 3:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

mortar and tank attacks > machine guns.

Gaddafi played this about as well as he could have. He waited till Japan to really make his move. While the world was focused on Japan, he sent tanks out to the “strongholds” of the rebels and tore right through them. Then he used his planes to destroy weapons caches and whatnot. After that, the UN is like, “oh shit, this guy will win unless we do something.” So the finally placed a no-fly zone on him, and he’s like, “okay, sure, I wont bomb them anymore”, but he proved that he didn’t really need the planes and continued to push forward with his tank and mortar teams. So then Hills makes a few appearances saying “retreat or else” and then boom, the military personal that we “don’t have” is destroying everything in sight.

Right, the airfields were bombed, so the no-fly zone never really mattered. It was just red tape.

by ballsdeep187 on Mar 21, 2011 3:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

"Right, the airfields were bombed, so the no-fly zone never really mattered. It was just red tape."

How do you establish a no-fly zone? By removing the capability to launch aerial attacks. And the hyperbole is a little over the top (“tore right through them”).

by firemangreg on Mar 21, 2011 3:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

A no-fly zones means, if you fly planes here, they will be shot down.

Not, we will end your ability to fly planes, period. He didn’t fly planes after it was placed on him, but the country was still invaded, therefore it never really mattered.

I never knew SRQ was a closet O's fan
Rays manager Joe Maddon summoned security to remove a fan – wearing an Orioles jersey – who he said was yelling racist comments at CF B.J. Upton in the dugout duing Sunday’s game at Charlotte Sports Park.
   "He said something racial and I didn’t like it,’’ Maddon said. "He can say whatever he wants, but don’t go there. And I didn’t want B.J. to go up into the stands or do anything at that point. So I just wanted to make sure he was taken out of there. There is no room for that at all.’’
    A man who said he was the ejected fan went on Twitter later Sunday, claiming Maddon lied and he said nothing racial.
   Maddon later told the Times what was said, and it would be considered racial. Upton also heard the commens, as did several of the coaches.

I’m saying since nobody in the known universe is touting this guy, and since only hard-core maniacs have even heard of him, he has some intriguing upside.

Right, and sometimes big guys just get lost for a while. It happens.

Going from mid 90s to high 80s, though.. It could just be a side effect of his mechanical inconsistencies. Or he could be on the verge of breaking down. Lemme see if I can dig up Maddon’s quote.

@ptSuttery

by Suttree on Mar 21, 2011 1:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

It isn't specific, but this is from Topkin's article today:
“We’ve got to get him straightened out,” manager Joe Maddon said. “I don’t have any good answers right now.”

Maddon said several areas need to be addressed as Russell’s velocity isn’t consistently in the mid 90s as expected.

“When a guy struggles a bit, normally your confidence takes a hit a little bit,” he said. “With that, mechanically, I think he’s off.”

@ptSuttery

by Suttree on Mar 21, 2011 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

Guessing he's low-90s or skipping up and down pitch-to-pitch.

If he were in the 80s or consistently lower than expected I would think we would be hearing about a meeting with Dr. James Andrews.

by R.J. Anderson on Mar 21, 2011 2:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

But also, I think he should.

He’s got the stuff to get folks out right now. Obviously you’d like to get his mechanics ironed out, but he’s a huge guy in his third org in four seasons, that may take a while.

Sorry owners, this isn't how the concept of revenues works:
The NFL has repeatedly said that 70 percent of extra revenue went to players, a main justification for changing the sport’s economic system. The league’s numbers remove the portion of revenues — about $1 billion a year — taken off the top for owners to spend on expenses.

Re: plaid

A simple madras is OK, but when you get too crazy or add cargos it can be a bit much. I prefer plain, seer sucker, or ones with cool aquatic life on them (fish, lobsters, etc.).

by rglass44 on Mar 21, 2011 4:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

Listen, take this advice from an 18 y/o college kid.

Jorts are for douchebags. I don’t think I see many people wearing them around campus and when they do they’re usually rocking the avaiators and wear skinny jeans when they aren’t wearing their jorts.

Plaid shorts are fine but to a certain extent. You don’t want some flamboyant fucking design or colors on them. Keep it simple like a white/blue mixture. Only problem with plaid shorts is that you have to wear solid colored shirt to match with them.

Cargo shorts are the most common from what I can tell. They’re sort of frat-boyish, but they’re fine.

Personally, I prefer khaki shorts. As long as they aren’t too short (hang right at the knee or above it), they’re pretty badass. Wear these and you’ll be a pimp.

If you’re buff and want to let everyone know that you workout err day, wear some gym shorts accompanied with a plain colored t-shirt. Usually you’ll see these dudes wearing a Tapout hat, as well.

I hesitate to give an opinion on this. Not everyone should wear shorts.

In general, though, I agree with DaPriceIsRight. However, some people should not wear shorts at all. I am of the opinion that jorts or jutoffs on men are never okay and should get the wearer a one way ticket to a trailer park where they will need to live the rest of their life.
