Johnny Hammersticks

I knew that...I think ? But doesn’t it seem like a pattern? The 2016 team, for example, was nothing special during the regular season. Then exploded in the NCAA’s. IDK...been a long day on the road and in cold hockey rinks ?

I don’t eat them anymore, but when I was a kid I used to enjoy peanut butter and jelly with iceberg lettuce and a slice of American cheese. My parents swear that I didn’t learn about them from anyone...just made it up and rolled with it.

I wasn’t able to watch the game, as I was driving all over VT today for my son’s hockey games. I have it recorded....I probably won’t watch. I knew coming into this game that ODU was a very tough defensive team, and would give SU a game. I think they’re ranked in the top 20 in ppg allowed, IIRC. Recipe for disaster for Syracuse who is playing a very ugly brand of basketball right now. How does JB seem to pull it all together by the end of the season most years? Last season they looked like a NIT team at best, and made a run to the final 4. I just don’t get it. This team has waaaaaay too much talent to be sucking so badly right now. So disappointing. Hopefully JB has some of that magic left in the tank.

Goodin is the forgotten child in this draft class; being overshadowed by Guerrier and JG3. I hear he’s been tearing it up this season and over last summer. Another great job of early recruiting by the coaching staff just like they did with Dion Waiters and Tyus Battle. Recognize their talent before the “big boys” can get to them. Don’t forget about 4* C/PF Qudus Wahab who just postponed his decision date, many speculate, to wait and see where Stewart goes. Many think he’s a Cuse lean if Stewart goes elsewhere. https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports.com/college/virginia-tech/Article/Hokies-Top-Prospect-Qudus-Wahab-moves-Decision-Date-126255096/Amp/

Yeah, it’s those quiet warm ones that will make the paint peel off the walls.

Yeah, but this dude keeps getting popped for weed. Addiction? More like boundless irresponsibility and blatant ambivalence toward remaining employed, maybe?

You know what they say...14 strikes and you’re out!

Fatties?

“No pills, no powders....if it grows in the ground it’s probably okay.” Great quote from Knocked Up.

I expose my kids to “hard drugs” in a similar fashion. I take them over to Walmart and point out the “itchy scratchy” people.

Is this something for the gays? Never heard of it.

You judgmental bastard!! jk Yeah, I frequently takes nights off from drinking without even thinking about it. I’m pretty sure I’m not “dependent.” I do like a couple glasses of good dry red wine though! I also will have drinks in front of my kids. Especially watching football on Sundays. No biggie. It’s a part of life that they are going to encounter eventually. Might as well model for them how to do it safely and responsibly.

I have a chef friend who drank Tito’s on the rocks just about all day long...every single day. Ruined his career temporarily, ***** up reltionships with his family, lost his wife. I remember when he finally went to rehab. I was appalled at how physically dependent he was on the booze. It was like he was dying. Throwing up, sweating profusely, borderline psychotic. The worst of it lasted nearly a week. Very scary. He’s been clean for a while now and has straightened out his life. That’s a bit extreme, but certainly someone who I would consider an alcoholic. Then and now even though he hasn’t had a drink in year. Just opened up a restaurant/hotel in Napa as Exec Chef, BTW.

I have 2-3 glasses of wine or beers just about every night after the kids go to bed. I guess if you add it all up I might have 20-25 drinks per week (a few more on weekend nights). Some might consider me to be an alcoholic I guess. I guess where I draw that line is whether or not the hooch has a negative impact on your life functioning. Are you able to wake up and be productive at work? Are you able to be kind to and provide for your family? Are you able to have a few drinks without being an *****? Do you know when is enough? Alcohol doesn’t negatively impact my life (except for the few extra pounds and the rare mild hangover). Bottoms up!

FWIW, I’m still hearing from my two “sources” as of yesterday that the coaching staff still “feels pretty good” about an Isaiah Stewart commitment. We shall see...

He’s been a delinquent most of his life. That’s putting it nicely.

I was watching some DK Metcalf highlights last night, and I couldn’t help but think he’s a bigger Randy Moss. I think he’s going to shoot up draft boards if his medical stuff checks out. WRT Jonah...none of the OT’s in this draft really get me super excited enough to like them in the top 5-7 picks.

No. I just pay my tolls to the toll troll when I cross his bridge.

I shart like a ninja, brah. Everybody loves Johnny Hammersticks ?

Pretty sure both Carey and JG3 will both be 4 year players. Green would instantly (as soon as he were eligible) step in and be the starting PG. I’d take him.

Story of my life, brotha. I shart in my pants at least 3-4 times per year. I did so in the middle of a work meeting one time...7 or 8 other people around the table. Had to flush my boxers afterward.

Perhaps. We’re going to have a log-jam at guard though in years to come. Green can play either guard position. I think the plan moving forward is Jalen Carey at PG and JG3 at SG. Even though both Boeheim and GMac said public ally that they were recruiting JG3 purely as a PG. I’d take Green for some guard depth ? Perhaps the best SU player of all time. I’m much too young to remember him, but he’s my father’s favorite all-time player.

I’ll take a perfect Maker’s Manhattan up. Stirred please...not shaken, bar-bot. You bruise my ice too much and you’re making it again ?

I believe it was down to KU, Cuse and Nova for Quade. He would easily be the starting PG for either Nova or Cuse right now. Hope he got lots of instagram “likes” for picking KU. This ***** irritates me. Coaches like Cal and K exploiting naive and arrogant young men with false promises.

This is what happens when programs like Kentucky and Duke (hello Jordan Tucker) over-recruit these 5 star kids and essentially break their promises. This happens all the time, and these stupid kids keep committing for the name of the school and the notariety...rather than commit to another major school where they can stand out. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
