I'm pretty sure the FHSU game doesn't even count in his ratings so .

As of today, we have a grand total of three games left on the schedule with >50% chance of winning according to kenpom. In fact there are only three games left on the schedule that kenpom gives us >33% chance of winning. Including those three, there are seven games on the schedule with a >20% chance of winning.

I can't even...

My favorite Tubbs memory: after a 62-61 win quote headline in the Collegian: "I don't give a crap how good they are. We're going to beat the hell out of them in Norman."

Result in Norman: 67-63 Cats.

This was my freshman year.  I will never forget that headline.  Also loved the way the student section would antagonize him whenever he would get on the refs by simply chanting Biiiilly...Biiiilly...Biiiilly over and over.  The Big 8 was so much fun.

That was my freshman year too! That team wasn't great, but they were fun to watch.

I just got around to looking up some stats, and holy smokes do we turn the ball over a lot. Like I know we have a lot of guys, but it's pretty shocking. Also we are complete garbage on the defensive end. We suck pretty bad.

Pack is pretty fun though.

It really is rough ridin' garbage. It's throwing me an error code and telling me to call a service number. I haven't had to call someone from my cable company since I installed it. eff you ESPN+.

What are you trying to watch at this time of day? I'm asking because I like oddball stuff and may be interested.

I was just trying to see if it would work today, because that's what it showed me when I tried to watch basketball this weekend.

My kid missed school to play soccer on Monday. I was in a hotel with tons of kids that had no experience with tornadoes that were either completely nonchalant or completely freaking out. Turns out the hotel was something like 2 or 3 miles north of the path. We lost power for a few hours, but everything ended up okay.

Anyway, the tornado went close to the fields, and the storm damaged a bunch of goals, so no Monday games.

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: Home flooring, to start

« on: October 02, 2019, 10:11:52 AM »

When we moved into our house we had wood laminate. We had three dogs at the time, and their running around would scratch through the top layer, and it looked like crap. It was pretty cheap stuff so maybe not applicable to all.

We replaced that with bamboo flooring about eight years ago when a press fit hose popped off on our washing machine and ruined all of it. We were planning to replace it anyway, so it turned out okay. That stuff was pretty good. Very tough, decent price, and it was attractive. I liked it.

Earlier this summer, the hose from the wall to the refrigerator ice machine developed a slow leak that didn't notice for some ridiculously long amount of time. It dripped down the wall behind the fridge and went under the flooring, and sat there for who knows how long, until discoloration started showing up in the seams of the floor.

So we replaced that with wood look porcelain tile. We considered vinyl planks, but tile is supposed to be more durable and won't fade over time. While the vinyl planks are basically waterproof, there is a chance for water to seep through to the sub-floor if there is any gaping in the floor. Tile is less likely to have that problem, and I don't want to deal with water damage to these dumb floors ever again.

Henry talks GRCOAT(we were in on kevin love?!) and being historically underrated by KSU fans.

Does he think they were greater than the greatest recruiting class of all time??? 

Thanks for asking that question Chum1! I should have clarified he talked about himself as a player being underrated historically after he talked about the GRCOAT.

On twitter there was one of those "You have $15, pick your team" things that listed Henry as a $3 player. (Mike, Jake, and Barry were the $5 guys). He wasn't amused.
