2/15 CF Tailgate before Texas MBB

Want to have a CycloneFanatic.com tailgate before the Texas basketball game? I do. This has been a crazy week and I want to do something totally different.

We've got most of a keg of Blue Moon. And I'll bring several dozen hot dogs and condiments.

Plan to start serving at 11:30am. Find me in C-5. Look for the 40 foot flagpole, ISU window flags, and ISU plates (literally, ISU PL8S). Weather will feel balmy by comparison to the last few days.

No cost, but let's continue the CycloneFanatic.com tradition of fundraising for good local causes. Everything you contribute will go to the family for which @ChrisMWilliams had a fundraiser at El Bait Shop a couple of weeks ago. Sorry, but I can't find the link. [see post below for the link]

See you there.

Rewatched Texas game and...

That first quarter was brutal. Turnover city and Maggie was again a turnover waiting to happen. She just seems to be a moment behind. She sees things but her execution comes a second later and it’s too late.

we gave up a three at the end of two straight quarters as time ran out.

Scott is a thoroughbred in her prime. She is just a step better than those around her

Thurmon is a great substitute for change of pace compared to Maggie. Both have their strengths and weaknesses but getting it done.

I almost felt bad for Texas. We’ve had bad shooting days like that and theirs was ugly, ugly, ugly.

who does Joens remind me of? Pop. Only better. Pure grit and so skilled.

So impressed with Fennelly's substitution patterns. Everything is jelling.

Turnovers. This game goes in the dictionary next to that word. Ugh.

defense. A few letdowns, but they played tough and quick against Texas

rebounding. Total team effort. This is what separated them from Texas when the offense was ugly early.

last point and my favorite. See the attachment,

Friday OT - I broke it worse

The stuck bolt thread got me thinking about repairs or projects I've attempted that have ended up in worse shape due to ability or loss of temper.

Last year, I was doing some landscaping. I was scoring and chiseling some pavers for a decorative path. I was struggling with one unique cut, mis-cutting it twice. On the third attempt, the paver split, I mashed my finger and it set me off. I ended up cursing and throwing the paver to the side.... right into a flower pot stand, knocking it over and smashing one of the pots.

What "repairs" have you made worse?

Friday OT - Crappy Valentine's Day

Good morning! What are the worst love songs of all time? I've got several...

"More Than Words" by Extreme - Nothing says romance like singing, "Right, saying you love me is nowhere near enough, put out."

"Angel" by Shaggy - It's catchy, but "shorty, you're my angel" makes me laugh every single time.

"My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion - it's just so awful.

"Picture" by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock - I can't stand either of them separately, but this duet is just SO trashy.
