You must have five players available at opening tip. Can't start a game with less than five.

Surprising score.

Eagles hit a three at the buzzer to send game to overtime

Tied at 46 entering the fourth

Holmes leads 28-27 at halftime

Scott led 19-13 after one quarter.

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya... Any chance we can get Tom Crews to leave the high school ranks (if he's still coaching) and name him the coach? Seems like it might be a good fit?

I thought you were looking for basketball themed movies. We can agree on Hoosiers for sure.

Basketball themed movies in no particular order: Hoosiers Bluechips He Got Game White Men Can't Jump Hoop Dreams Above the Rim Glory Road Coach Carter One on One There's nine legit ones off the top of my head. left off other such as Love and Basketball and Basketball Diaries because I haven't seen them. Hollywood has represented basketball just fine. Hoosiers is an absolute classic film, I'm not sure if I could leave it off my top 10 movie list of all time.

To put Tin Cup in your top five list kind of blows all your credibility when it comes to movies. What a terrible flick.

A few thoughts on this one: Pats go up two touchdowns and decide to get cute on the kickoff. Bad idea, poor coaching. Likely awoke and united the entire Eagles team. At that point you are dominating the game, why take a chance? Just before halftime Pats could have run out the clock but choose to pass and it forces them to punt. Blocked punt and a new game again. Poor choice IMO, go in up a TD. Blocked punts are never expected, but can happen. Give Brady a 7 point lead going into the second half. Poor in game decisions cost the Pats this one by getting Philly into it. After that things happened in a game that the Pats should have won by 7 to 14.

Nothing about Boston resembles glamorous. Might as well call Philly glamorous. I'll take living in Cincinnati 7 days a week and twice on Sunday over either city. Boston is old, rundown, dirty, and really pretty much a dump unless you are there for the historical context the city has. Vegas is, however, what I'd call glamorous.

Kansas City and I have no idea in the AFC (Steelers, Jets, Bills, Colts, heck maybe the Raiders). NFC is a bit easier. Green Bay and Seattle.

First and likely the last time I think Boston will ever be called glamorous as city.

Nice thread. Love The Outlaw Josey Wales and Unforgiven. Big fan of Tombstone as well. May be paraphrasing a bit here, but a few from that one: "Why Johnny, you look like you've seen a ghost." "I wasn't as sick as I made out." "I'm not going to let you arrest us today."

Kansas City is a tough out in the postseason. A's discovered that last year, Houston learned it today. Big time at bats with the season on the line. Cueto in Game 5 is very interesting. He hasn't been the same since he left Cincy, but this is exactly what they traded for. A MLB stud to pitch and win this series. I'll be looking in

Interested to see how this hiring process shakes out. South Carolina is a decent job, but certainly not a great one. Spurrier made it better with a run of 11 win seasons, but the school has zero SEC titles. This season and last have been a return to the old USC, so those 11 win seasons are going to be tougher sells on the recruiting trail. USC has gotten some high profile guys as coaches in Holtz and Spurrier. Both made the program better, but has it reached its ceiling. Pros: It's an SEC job with good facilities. It's in the SEC East, which helps a lot. Spurrier has given the program name recognition nationally. Warm weather. Near the ocean. Cons: Zero SEC titles. Spurrier couldn't get it done with a lot of time and talent. Holtz couldn't either. No stable recruiting homeland. The Carolina's are a battle-ground, you border Georgia and Florida, good luck there. Although the East is the easier path to an SEC title currently, you still have to go 2-1 or better vs. Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee to do it. My opinion, decent job with a program that has had some very good seasons. But those aren't every year things. It's a job to take if you can win for a couple years and move to a UT, UGA, or another power school. It's also a job you take if you have Spurrier's resume and want to retire somewhere.

Rush, perhaps?

It appears McDonald's can't offer both Muffin and Biscuits at the same store because of prep space. Looks like Muffin sandwiches have won in the Cincinnati area. Too bad IMO, because the McDonald's sausage biscuit is the best in the business.

I'll start it for ya. Votto had a great year. Phillips had a better year than anyone could have predicted. Frazier had a monster first half of the season. Bruce was Bruce. Cueto and Leake were both around for half a season and pitched great to well in most starts. And still this team finished more than a month out of a playoff berth (33ish games?). Second worst record in baseball. Nothing in the off-season is going to fix this mess. No easy fixes for this bunch. But at least we have prospects....2020 will be great, we promise. That about sums it up.

Just curious on this one. Why did the Reds delay the start of Tuesday's game for more than two hours? Can't say rain, when there was barely a mist coming down the entire time. Marty was pretty jacked about it just before the first pitch. Said the game could have started at 7:10, no problem. Did GABP look too much like Wrigley south? Did the Reds hope the Cubs would pull their scheduled starter if the delay was long enough? Another reason perhaps, because it certainly wasn't the weather. This likely makes a bigger splash in the local media if the Reds hadn't become totally irrelevant like a month ago. Hardly makes one feel comfortable that the front office is full of solid professionals though. I'd love to hear someone in the organization explain this delay to me like I'm a third grader.

Interested in the numbers, but not interested enough to look them up. During the current 126 (obvious exaggeration) game losing streak anyone know how badly the Reds have been outscored? I know the Mets pounded them and the Cubs aren't winning one run games either. I think this is the furthest the Reds have ever been out of first place at any point in their history. Luckily, we got prospects. After tonight's 10-3 loss (it wasn't that close) the Reds are only 30 games out of a playoff berth. Bright spot is the Reds do open next year against the only team in baseball with a worse record than their own.

Just passing through here, but a few things caught my attention. 1. CovCath is a private school and therefore the redbook rules don't apply. Public schools only. 2. My interpretation of the redbook rules is basically that all money raised through fundraisers must be used for the students. Can't use it to pay for coaches gear, hotel rooms for coaches at clinics or Sweet 16, etc. I know this is an extremely simple breakdown of the redbook rules, but I think it's the jist.

Most first round playoff games are played at the better seeded team's home field. After that, the state determines playoff sites.
