    Game of Thrones Season 4

    Mods, could we get a thread started for the tv watchers to gripe about the book readers rather than take this thread off topic. I think they deserve their own place to vent. Plus can we get a thread that is totally for comparison of the books versus tv show. So we'd have a book threat with...

    Dahl's in trouble?

    Dahls only has 13 stores? I was under the impression they were bigger than that?

    Dave Rice to USF & UNLV Vaughn Thread

    My wife just called and wanted to know where we were going to watch the game tonight. I told her I couldn't discuss it with her unless she posted it in the Rice/Vaughn thread on CF.

    This could be huge. Northwestern trying to unionize

    This guy seems like a bright dude, but my recollection is that getting certified as employees means they have the right to attempt to form a union. If I remember right they have to have 30% to get an election, not to begin bargaining as this guy says. Most unions aren't going to run an election...

    Manhattan's Masiello Possibly Without ANY Job

    Iowa State had this problem with their volleyball coach. I don't remember her name but she was the one before Linda Grensing-Crum (the one before CJL). She's also the one accused of berating players. Lying on resumes is very common not just in coaching but you'd be surprised how many companies...

    Reseating Hilton?

    Personal Seat Licenses. It's been a few years since Jamie didn't anything unique to wring a little more money out of the fans (I'm not complaining, just stating the obvious that the guy is a genius at doing it). I fully expect something unique and game changing coming down the pipe.

    Selection Day

    There will never be the kind of parity you see in the men's game until they cut the number of scholarships per team in the women's game, and they won't do that because it hurts "opportunities."

    Horrific foul call in 4A Boys game

    I agree with the patient whistle thoughts. I've never officiated basketball but I did high school volleyball for a decade including multiple state championship matches and it kills me when I see officials are in such a hurry that they almost appear to be blowing their whistle and then deciding...

    Interesting in bounds play...

    Last Sunday at the UNI-Drake women's game, there was two seconds on the clock I think UNI had the lead so it wasn't the same situation but they were taking out of bounds under drakes basket after a drake made field goal. Drake didn't guard the inbounder so you couldn't have set a screen on her...

    Royce to sign with Kings Thursday, going to D-League

    I've seen this quote a number of times. "Having a plan in place for his and others safety because he wanted to work in a safe environment." But seriously I wonder what that means? It'd be interesting to understand what he's meant by this. Anyone seen where he's elaborated on this? Maybe I should...

    Missed FT's naturally frustrate Fred Hoiberg

    Funny I remember Jim Halihan back in the Johnny Orr Basketball camp days circa '84 or so demonstrating that two balls can fit through the rim at once.

    Disney vacation question

    we are annual passholders at Disney World. We have been there too many times to count; three times last year. I've been to Disney Land too. It just doesn't compare in my book but it might be fine if you've never been to DW. DO NOT GO to either over new years. the crowd can be absolutely...

    Game of Thrones Season 4 Trailer #1

    I just did a marathon of watching the first three seasons for the last couple weeks. I read the books between watching the first three seasons when they were first aired and my recent marathon. It's amazing to me 1) how much stuff you catch watching it a second time that you miss the first time...

    Friday OT - Your Funeral Songs

    My kid was a huge star wars fan, so we carried his casket out of the building to the theme from the throne room scene at the end of A New Hope. Star Wars IV: A new hope - Final Scene (The Throne Room) and End Title - YouTube
