    On That Note: You Say You Want a Compilation

    “VU” - The Velvet Underground (1985) I discovered The Velvet Underground the same way a lot of mid-‘80s alt-rock geeks did … through reissue of the band's first 3 studio albums (on Verve). "VU" arrived during that period, and after hearing "Nico," "White Light/White Heat" and self-titled, of...

    On That Note: You Say You Want a Compilation

    Although those songs may "suffer" from overexposure, Eagles Greatest Hits is one of the first albums I remember replaying incessantly ... it was my sister's album, but I sort of adopted it from her (I think she left it at home when she went to college). It inspired me to purchase "Hotel...

    On That Note: You Say You Want a Compilation

    The Beatles - “Rarities” (1980, U.S.) I'd categorize this as "memorable," as opposed to a "favorite.' After decades of retro-Beatles releases, this doesn’t seem “rare” today. At the time, it was a big deal to me. In the early days of my indulgence/discovery of The Beatles, I indulged...

    Good choice. That was my entry point to CCR.

    Tre has such a soft touch at FT line.

    I liked the pxp on that one ... "... scoreless ... until now."

    That swoop-pass from Lipsey to Cujo - wow.

    Interview with George Conditt

    Good listen. I don't think I had heard the story of BIg George squabble with Shayok. Condittt still bummed about the '19 tournament bounce. Correction -- ISU would have played Houston in second round, not Auburn ... George mentioned Kentucky, that would have been in Sweet 16.

    Bracketology 2024

    Five Big 12 teams in Sweet 16, four in Elite 8, two in FF and two in title game. That'd be wild (even if one of the S16 is OU). Also in that bracket scenario I could see San Diego State knocking out Purdue. (Among other details I'd select differently).

    Bracketology 2024

    Agree, I'd accept that quite willingly. No team in the bottom subregion would scare me. Not a whole lot in the top half would, either.

    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    I want Tech to win, add to KU's loss total. I want as much distance between us & KU. Have to beat Tech this weekend (regardless of result vs. UC) then we'll have another leg up. TT has TCU, UT and Baylor at home, but those aren't easy wins. Also: Kansas must be destroyed.

    What If - Sweet 16 and Title Chance or Final 4

    Easy choice for me -- guaranteed Final Four. I like the general spirit of @Jeremy though experiment, though. Maybe it could skew a little more 50-50 for me if the Sweet 16-and-who-knows had a little more nuance. Something like S16 with 75% chance of not advancing further, but 25% chance of...

    We're #10!

    I think that's ISU's highest ranking since Dec. 27, 2021, poll (#8; dropped to 11 the following week).

    We're #10!

    Man, those are some major oversights. A key thing w/ poll participants .... I won't begrudge what's considered poor analysis; ran however you wanna rank. But at minimum, don't contradict your previous rankings (i.e., any movement should reflect results week-to-week.

    Please, not #9!

    Voters are still hanging with Wisconsin. #20 aligns closely w/ UW's metrics and bracket matrix, but rankings shouldn't always reflect that. Wisconsin lost 2 straight to non-tournament teams (and 4 straight overall) and has only 3 wins vs. probable/possible tournament teams this calendar year.
