    New Orleans

    I used to travel a lot to New Orleans, but it was all pre-Covid. I remember it as one of the best food cities. Any of the Brennan's restaurants were outstanding. Also, K-Pauls and the Emeril restaurants (Emeril's, NOLA's, etc) and Commanders Palace. The coffee is unique, they add chicory...

    Who are your most hated college basketball players...

    Conference record predictions

    I think we go 9-9. And I do believe 8-10 in this conference is good for the dance. I'm concerned that poor free throw shooting will cost us one or more games, and the tendency to not close out a half strong (which is related to missing too many front ends of 1 and 1's and not running teams off...

    Liberty Bowl postgame thread

    After 8 years, Campbell is what the record says he is; a slightly above .500 coach (53W 48L). He can take a team like this year with many new faces and a significant loss of starters, go to a bowl game and finish 7-6. He can take a preseason top 10 team with 3 All Americans and finish 7-6...

    New Big 12 Arenas (2023-2024)

Renovations included revising concourse areas, seating, alumni club areas. The students sit at both end lines right on the court, which makes it awfully loud. When my kids...
