NOT! On the contrary, it was pretty busy around these parts today. And fortunately for us, too…we’re in day one of a 5-day college basketball break. Ugh.
In a lame attempt to satiate our hoops appetite, GITC has emailed me his Studs & Duds rankings…without stats…and without a highlights video. I’m starting to think there is no formula; he just makes it up:
Studs
1. Jose Calderon
2. Chris Bosh
3. Steve Nash
4. Caron Bulter
5. Vince Carter
Duds
1. Chris Douglas-Roberts
2. Sasha Vujacic
Here’s the other stuff we did today:
Some dood named “Mikeychx” opened up the week with The Morning After.
We then ventured into the Sparty & Friends Moviology Sweet Sixteen voting. Voting will close at midnight:
BASEBALL REGION SWEET SIXTEEN VOTING
BASKETBALL REGION SWEET SIXTEEN VOTING
FOOTBALL REGION SWEET SIXTEEN VOTING
OTHERS REGION SWEET SIXTEEN VOTING
Sparty & Friends was then on the forefront of some broken news. Of course, it still hasn’t been confirmed…but that’s neither here nor there.
Sparty then went all pre-serial killer on us and homicided a Husky.
GatorTrey then detailed why Kentuckians are kraaaaazy and their job is not all that and a bag o’ chips.
So, after you’ve checked out today’s S&F awesomeness, here’s some links to take you into the night:
I guess Tommy Lasorda never saw Piazza’s bacne?
I read about this dood in SI last weekend (yes, voluntarily). $50 million!? Whew…
GatorTrey, Patphish, Graddawg, Knightro, and any of you other Florida people – watch out for the snakes.
Plax back to court tomorrow. Will he land in the pokey?
Interesting take: UK = General Motors.
Are these the top 10 programs in college basketball over the last decade? You decide…
Tiger Woods was the anti-March last weekend.
I’m disappointed in the Sparty-Patphish trash talk to this point…major weaksauce. Here’s a game preview to hopefully stoke the fire.
What’s on tv tonight? I’m not asking rhetorically…I really have no idea. Spread the word via the comments.

There is a bet between Patphish and Sparty. When Michigan State wins on Saturday, Patphish has to slurp Coach Izzo. If UConn somehow wins, Sparty has to

Good Luck.
I proposed to my wife behind a CVS, by a dumpster…least that’s how my friends like to tell it.

I agree JP…no football coach makes 6.5 Million…To give you an idea. Last year the Kentucky football team made about 14 Million in revenue. The basketball team made a little over 9 Million.
Basically, basketball revenue is being nearly depleted to pay for cal…

I love being married to my wife, cbh. you aren’t defined by other family members’ marital problems unless you want to be. good luck and love her hard.

Thanks guys, Rek, I think I am going to chime in when asked but otherwise leave that to her (probably won’t make it any less of a headahce).

“Thanks guys, Rek,”
Um, did Rek just get called a female?
(Quote)
cbh–Definitely a good idea to let her run the show…it’s still crazy though because you hafta hear all the craziness still and be there when she stresses out about the stupidest shit…gets annoying every so often.
(Quote)
When wedding planning make sure she doesn’t catch you off gaurd and show you three samples for say cake…and you agree to another flavor after previously agreeing to a different flavor.
they like to do that to see if you’re actually paying attention.
(Quote)
That can be applied to just about any everyday situation.

The only thing I will be steadfast about is wanting a DJ rather than a band.
(Quote)
I love this conversation. I am just going to sit back and enjoy the comments you guys are throwing out.
(Quote)
Oh ya they do. Then when you aren’t, you’re fucked.
Wife: “Trey, feed the dog”
Me: “Ok”
(…4 hours pass…)
Wife: “What’s wrong with the dog”
Me: “Oh shit, forgot to feed her”
Wife: “Well it’s a good thing I did, or else she’d starve to death.”
Me: “When did you feed her”
Wife: “Right before I asked you to, I knew you wouldn’t”
(Quote)
Bands are a nice touch if they’re really good, but DJs are way cheaper…definitely hold steady on this.
(Quote)
DJ > Band…not saying a band is bad per se, but you limit the type of music.
(Quote)
My cousin had a band in Jersey that rocked, but I’d say DJ > band too. Bands limit your song selection.
(Quote)
Im a newlywed. CBH, repeat after me:
“Whatever you want dear, as long as doesn’t cost more than $1000.”
I said that at least 50 times last year. Even though 1/2 the shit cost more than that, she considered it involvement. Im still working out the cramps from signing all those checks.

Wife: Can you do the dishes?
Me: Yeah, in a lil bit. *turns up volume on game*
Wife: When will that be?
Me: In a lil bit. Halftime
Wife: No you won’t, you’ll forget
Me: Look, I’ll do it.
Wife: mmmhmmm.
Halftime
Me:Why did you do the dishes?
wife: because, I figured you would forget and they were bothering me.
Me: sucker….

There are actually some bands out there that do an amazing job at covering pretty much all types of music and have various singers to match the different artists…of course those are the super pricey ones…DJ is definitely the best unless you’re rich and wanna rub it in people’s faces.
(Quote)
See for my wedding we all dressed like Star Wars characters. So we had a band who looked like the one from the 1st Star Wars play…they just played the same awesome song over and over.
I was Luke Skywalker, my wife was Princess Leah, because we always figured those two should be scoring anyway.
(incestual Star Wars joke…sweet)
Seriously, that’s about as far from the truth as you can get….we used World of Warcraft.
(Quote)
sparty–Unfortunately, my wife-to-be will actually just leave the dishes there for me…she’d rather not have anything to do with them…I can only use that to get her to do trivial crap…she’s not really into caring how clean everything is.

Wait, you mean her parents aren’t paying for all of this?

rek-I’ll leave something for a day or so, just to test. I ALWAYS, repeat, ALWAYS end up washing it/picking it up.
I left a fruit snacks packet in the middle of our living room floor for three days a few weeks ago. My son picked it up when he was putting his toys away. I say “AH, AH, AH! Leave that there for daddy!” Spousal unit’s response: “Wha, what?? That’s mine?“
(Quote)
Trey you should have drerssed up as Tim Tebow and Dan Shanoff for your wedding.
(Quote)
There has to be mutual love KWSN.
In Shanny’s case…I don’t think Tebow loves him back.

rek-Enter Sandman. Proving that he loves the Yankees (his wife would leave him for Jeter)

Jen–Unfortunately, I’m the one that won’t be able to stand it sitting there and will wind up doing it eventually…kinda a neat freak on certain things…there may be the occasional time where she’ll do it, but not likely.

Of course we could have always dressed as Gene Keady and Shitty Basketball…but we weren’t THAT in love

sparty–I considered that song, but the Yanks reference just didn’t jive with me.

We used the Entourage song.

One of my buddies is getting married in October. He, the best man and I are all wrestling fans, so we decided he should enter to MVP’s music (“I’m Comin’” By Silkk the Shocker, actually not a bad tune), then have the best man crack him from behind with a steel chair and escort the bride the rest of the way.
Not sure how well that would go over with her very – very – conservative Portuguese parents, but it would be funny as hell to watch.
(Quote)
That was harsh Trey.
(Quote)
I wanted to enter to Bret Hart’s music…didn’t happen.
(Quote)
Big D that sounds glorious. You should get the MVP tunnel that MVP used to have.
(Quote)
Big D–I would love to see that video if that happens…reactions would be priceless, especially from a bunch of older Porkchops (my girl’s Portuguese so /not racist’d).

It’s OK Rek. We all use “Greenhorns” in SouthEast Mass.

anyway, i am not going to break the bank for a guy that may bring a cloud of suspicion. i’d rather go with kentucky guys who can recruit and do well instead of overpaying.
as for arizona, i would go with a west coast guy from the lute olson tree that can capitalize on getting recruits immediately.
