Priorat has some great wines - near Barcelona I took a Wine Merchant trip there some time ago. Your first bottle might have been corked or cooked - both not good. The dirty secret is that an estimated 10% of wines using corks are tainted. I have a cellar & never stop buying

In Providence I hear he was called Ernie No D

Yes - Frank has vision probs but u can’t leave him alone. Dan is dead eyed from the 3 pt line... but we only score 1 pt at a time. Wednesday & Friday 10 am Sunset Hills Community Ctr

I play hoops with 2 old fa*ts who were - one might have gone - he would’ve been 5 & eventually played for SLU - Frank Zavadil. I met him in a 60+ league in Venice FL

Who can forget the 1944 streetcar World Series? Probably no one on this board attended it.

That would be brilliant- would provide clues on how personalities would fit in

I’m happy to watch what we have develop - if who we’ve recruited can’t adjust to D-1, then let’s find out now. Don’t want Jimmerson running off for lack of pt.

It’s the off season - hope springs eternal...

They could also put it in a jar with a lid & sit back & watch it explode

Go big or go home - if they win, bring the frau to SL & avail yourself of all the things that made you happy when you were here

When I was 66 I was playing in a rec league in FL when a fireplug shaped guard who got to the final cut with the Celtics 45 years before drove the lane & hit my knee. I tried to keep playing but the knee buckled whenever I changed directions so I quit & went to the orthopedist & he scheduled an MRI. I needed a new acl & he remarked that it was the first time he had seen this injury in a Medicare patient. I returned to SL & got a referral from my CRNA daughter to a young orthopedist she had assisted often in surgery. I met him & gave him the disc containing the MRI & he said that most people my age just stop playing sports but if I wanted, he could replace my ACL with a cadaver’s & get me back on the court. He did it outpatient at a surgicenter & I went home with a whole leg brace, crutches & a big vial of oxicoton. I quit taking those the 2nd day & did 6 weeks of rehab at SSM. Then I took a Vermont Bike Tour trip from Prague to Vienna & returned to SL. I started back at the gym shooting, running & lifting. My surgery was on May 1 & I played my first game of pickup August 15 with great trepidation but all was well. I’m now 73 & still play pickup - full court in FL & half court here at the Sunset Hills Community Center twice a week. I have not worn a brace since the injury & have no limitations. When I hear about it taking a year to recover from this type of injury, I think those are situations where they are trying to repair a tear & keep the original ACL. I am extremely optimistic about this recruit. If TF reads the board, the orthopedist’s name is Jody Jachna

The Jimerson video shows he already has a touch past the new line

My take on the post injury video is that he has soft hands & can finish after contact. Any contact seemed to throw off DJ. He has 6 mos to get that knee in better shape - l love the signing

A PT Cruiser is a foo foo drink at Joe’s Bar

What do you know about Steve that the rest of us don’t ?

Old Testament

In MLBB they don’t count all star game, playoff, & WS stats in career totals but list them separately. Don’t know about NBA or NFL. Claggs didn’t have the NIT runs that Bonner, Gray, & Douglas had. The first time I saw him was midnight madness as a frost. He brought his team back to win with a series of jump shots & no defender could stop him. I elbowed a friend & remarked that we could be looking at the future all time scoring leader at SLU. His teams were too good & had short dancing runs.

True dat - should we worry about what our players do while in bed?

Anyone besides me worried about an unanticipated injury from a new sport that requires extreme effort?

He passed the emissions test?

Found a friend who has them all & will binge watch Fri afternoon beginning around 12:30 in Shrewsbury near Kenrick - call me if u want to come 314 412-8564

Jimmy has amazing body control. We should run every out of bounds play with him as option 1. Let’s see; Lewis averaged 14 as a frosh & we’re worried about finding minutes for him? Does his jumper remind u of a certain guard on VA?

I prefer paper - newspapers, paper books, paper magazines et al. Go to Mercola.com & read about the damage to your eyes from too much screen time. Yes, I get the irony about learning such stuff on the internet

I was on a cruise & missed them all - would love to binge watch - I have a wine cellar & habanos
