On a positive note, he reminds me of a young Brett Favre. On a negative note, he reminds me of a young Brett Favre. Doesn't seem to jive with the conservative Kubiak/Dennison offense...run the ball, take chances passing down field off the play action, and don't turn the ball over. This kid is a gun slinger.

Close...central Vermont. You can buy it on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Original-New-York-Seltzer-12-pack/dp/B00XCN3NJ2?th=1

"Value" RB picks in mid-late rounds are a good idea, IMO. Especially if they are good special teamers. How Colton got his groove back? Seriously, what was his problem this season? Pro bowl to toilet bowl. I wouldn't waste a pick or FA money on a punter, BTW.

Great road win. I can't believe I'm watching the same team that lost to St. John's by 33. Seems like team morale and chemistry, in general, has improved. I love the brilliant improv by Lydon at the end (it was drawn up for him to get that shot), and an amazing clutch shot by the frosh, Kid Mamba. Let's hope JB and staff can whip this defense into shape. They are getting better, but D is still our glaring weakness.

DT and DE should be addessed through FA and the draft. I like Dareus/Williams/Washington combination on the interior, along with Hughes and Shaq on the ends, but we need depth. I don't feel, however, that we need to spend a first or second round pick there.

Which ones?

It you're referring to New York Seltzer, you can still find it. They carry it at Price Chopper here.

We have a Ponderosa here in my town. The food is terrible, and it's definitely in not a steakhouse. I brought my family there about 3 years ago, and we haven't been back since.

I was thinking OT and LB and ended up going with LB. It is so crucial, IMO, that they re-sign Zach Brown. This draft is so deep with WR talent, I think we can fill our needs there cheaply.

I guess maybe the luster wears off after 5 championships. I can't relate.

This is part of the reason I did so many drugs in college.

Total Lacrosse and Lacrosse Monkey seem to be like the "overstock.com" of lacrosse equipment websites. You can find some great deals. I would just stear clear of the lacrosse heads that are factory strung. Garbage.

Alternative facts. It was more like millions.

Nice! Check out stinsonmellorlacrosseco and burnedbylax on EBay. Especially burnedbylax which has some great deals. I recently got a Maverik Centrik head custom strung for 40.00 including shipping. Great deal. Love me some EBay.

My annoying, pseudo hipster brother in law falls into this category. He thinks he's superior to everyone else with his ironic glasses, flannel shirts, beard, and multiple uses for mason jars. At family get togethers, there is typically a hand full of us who are congregated around a television watching some type of sporting event. His "I don't follow sports because they're not hipster enough" attitude is really annoying. Just go make some fancy French press coffee and leave us men alone, bub.

It was dumb.

I'm with you 100% about the "court storming." You storm the court when you're Sienna and you beat Duke at home. Something like that. You have to admit, however, that VCU won for reasons that had nothing to do with the players on the court or the coaches. VCU should have lost that game. A win is a win, but....just sayin.

We bought Falcons balloons today at price chopper...lol. Wait, is that bad ju-ju?

Chicken wings. Traditional hot and old bay seasoning for the kids. Seared Ahi Tuna lettuce wraps with sriracha mayo and wasabi (julienne daikon, carrots, jalapeños, and quick pickled red onions for toppings). Assorted dips and chips. Rice crispy treat cake with double fudge frosting. For beverages...Labatt Blue, Fiddlehead IPA, Stowe Cider, vodka and tequila, and about 30 very strong Jell-O shots. Go Falcons!!

Agreed. Something like this, where the players or coaches are not at fault, should never impact the outcome of a game. Piss poor call by the refs, IMHO. Total screwjob.

I can't even imagine. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

I don't want to jinx us, but I think we are in relatively decent shape IF we beat one of Duke or Louisville and go 2/3 against Ga Tech, Clemson and Pitt. Our kenpom before this win was 53. Agreed about Tyus. I've been screaming since November....put Tyus out there and give him the green light. He is the best athlete on the court at times. Also, he's typically a good FT shooter. The high-low nonsense is very frustrating. Taurean is just not there yet defensively, and Robey is infuriatingly inconsistent. Virginia not having a solid offensive center hurt them badly today.

We'll trade you Frank Howard. He's pretty tall for a guard. We can get the deal done right now for a bag of used basketballs.

Yes, I agree this did allow them to extend the zone and get out on Virginia's shooters more. Also allowed JB to give Thompson more minutes which is good. Great second half. With a team that relies so heavily on the long ball, we are going to have shooting slumps like we saw there in the first half. Great adjustment at the half by JB, as they came out and attacked the rim with Battle and Gillon. Jimmy's interview post game was special. It was a great moment for him and this program. I got just a little choked up when he was talking about being there for 1000 wins. Total NCAA screwjob.

I've lived in the south...I guess if you consider Charlotte the south (seems like there were almost as many yanks down there as southerners). But people in general seemed to be nicer and more down to earth. Beer snobbery, especially amongst the "craft beer" crowd is a very real thing, IMO. Maybe it's amplified a bit here in Vermont because there is a brewery around every corner. What is sour? Sounds interesting.
