Class of '66 Old Fart

People, people, people.  There is something bigger going on behind the scenes and the steak dinner is not merely an announcement platform for Yogi.  And if I later have to eat these words, rest assured, it won't be steak from Ruth's Chris but more like beans from Campbell's.

Nice to read that 2 of his answers included the word 'tradition'.

I continue to think (and certainly hope I'm not wrong) that Yogi is having a good time yanking our chains and watching us squirm like worms on a fish hook.  Maybe setting up this gala at Ruth's Chris suggests there's something more to it than just a 'stay or go' announcement from Yogi.  Have no idea what but maybe just maybe.......... 

Thanks to a successful yard sale last Friday, bake sale on Saturday and car wash on Sunday together with turning in my aluminum cans to the recycler I was able to scrape up enough money for a subscription.  But I'll be going hungry until my monthly Social Security deposit is made on the 23rd.   :cheese:  

Isn't it time for the announcers to start talking about how many majors Spieth can win and when he'll beat Nicklaus' record?

You are scarey good!

One cool cucumber.  Birdies 2 of the first 3 holes ; bogeys 5 & 7 and you think he's starting to crack but comes back with the birdie on 8.  Same thing on the back nine; bogey on 12 but bounces back with the birdie on 13.  Incredible concentration and composure and clearly doesn't rattle easily.     Dakich just tweeted:  "Spieth was 1 and done at Texas. 1 and dones are killing the game."  

I think he just cracked  ---  a smile after the birdie putt on 10.    :D

For what it's worth, I thought O.G. had very good form on his 2 foul shots and doesn't look like he'll be a liability at the line.

After Spieth's first 2 rounds I expected them to really toughen up the course for the 3rd round but yet a number of players have still shot -3 or better.   The way it's going thus far Spieth can't afford to simply just show up and coast on Sunday.

Somebody please elaborate on how Bob Knight has a fieldhouse named for him in Duncanville, TX.

The way Izzo seems to annually work March magic I think he might be able to make the Elite 8 with a high school girl's junior varsity team!

"Nobody Can See Me in 2K" accompanied by the eye wink.   The 2K is a reference to KentucKy and he's telling us that no one expects him to transfer to pUKe for his final year!    OK conspiracy theorists, have fun!!!  :onthequiet:

Mildly surprised that he spurned both Cal and PUke with Barnes as his 'mentor'.

Too Many!

I think Yogi is having way too much fun keeping us on pins and needles.

Sophmore Wanaah Bail of UCLA intends to transfer.  Was academically ineligible for the 2nd semester; only averaged 9 min./game.

The longer it takes to learn what Yogi intends to do the less likely we can find a solid replacement from JUCO or 5th year grad transfers as the pool of competent replacements dwindles as they commit to other schools.  I would certainly hope that CTC and Yogi have had lots of conversations and are on the same page.

Wisconsin's Sam Dekker has declared for the NBA draft.

  ENOUGH ALREADY!  We're still oversigned by 1 and yet we're "reaching out" to Mulder and Murphy and still hope to land Thon.  This gives me a very uneasy feeling.

He's a blue-collar, hard-nosed kid with a good basketball IQ.  Not the most athletically gifted basketball player but very glad he's on our team.

  Interesting to see how Hurley and Shaka Smart do in 3 or 4 years after moving from their historical geographical locales and especially strong recruiting connections.  Will they be able to maintain those connections and can they successfully develop new connections in the great southwest?   

    l like the muscular definition that's already evident in O.G.'s shoulders and biceps.  Wish we still had Je'nay Jackson on board to work with all 3 but especially with Juwan and Thomas who will need to 'muscle up' for the rigors of B1G basketball.

Nice words to hear, but things happen and the only sure things in life are death and taxes but let's hope we do indeed get to enjoy 2 years of Thomas.
