Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

I love watching old coaches like Self and Huggins after the game.
They’re almost apologizing to each other.
Those two are so close, I bet they really do feel bad for beating each other.

 

With Mizzou and the Chiefs winning today, it makes for a good weekend in Chez Swingline.

 

KState…..who was picked dead last in Big 12…..is now 3-0 after beating Texas and Baylor on the road.

 

My Dad was a traveling salesman in many parts of the country. He got stuck in Rock Springs, Wyoming during a snow storm. He said that town in a snow storm was worse than any description of hell he had ever heard.

 

The plethora of trucks and windmills - OK, the windmills don't affect traffic, but the sheer numbers of them get one's attention - makes I-80 through that part of the country a 12-month headache.

Add blizzards, ice and wind in late December? No thanks.

 

Did Fort Collins to Boise non stop once. But ... during the summer. Plenty of wind, trucks, windmills and cows, but no ice and blizzards.

 

Greeley proper is OK. It's the rest of Weld County that makes one wonder if one is driving off the planet's cliff. Did that when leaving Fort Collins ... cut out part of the I-80 headache by going northeast through Weld County en route to Nebraska on I-80. Cut out a chunk of the 450 miles of endless monotony in Nebraska on the interstate.

And I arrived to Fort Collins three years earlier driving nonstop from Chicago to Fort Collins. Yeah, I don't like stopping.
