Let's Go Duke! 
Yeah, true, so is saying "smartest knife in the drawer" when I meant "sharpest"... <sigh> So hard to find a good proofer these days...bjornolf wrote:Still, saying that to a kid is rather out of line.Turk wrote: Maybe, maybe not.

Oh yeah, he was rocking a stylin' moustache that would make any 14 year old proud; that cracked us up too... So let's just say we were a tad conflicted and let it go at that...Turk wrote:Yeah, true, so is saying "smartest knife in the drawer" when I meant "sharpest"... <sigh> So hard to find a good proofer these days...bjornolf wrote:Still, saying that to a kid is rather out of line.Turk wrote: Maybe, maybe not.

Marty is a good cook. We should enlist his help in grilling burgers or steaks.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:I'm not sure we'll have enough food to feed Marty.

Go To Hell carolina! Go To Hell!

He says, "this is Marty Nestle. Your mother asked me to call you." I respond, "No shit?!" Anyway, I renewed my season football tickets and made him laugh. I had forgotten about CBAB's ugly encounter with him. He should let CBAB stomp on his toes then make a huge contribution to tailgate.
Marty Clark came to our tailgate last year, he happily did not get stung by a bee.YmoBeThere wrote:I had no run ins with Marty either today or in the past. I guess I live in a Marty free zone. Well, Marty Clark and I were on campus at the same time.
Did they have that guy who called a bazillion fouls against State and one against unc, or was the game officiated by his friend Karl Hess?Lavabe wrote:Worst officiating call of the year award... Syracuse vs. UNC Asheville.
FWIW, perhaps we should have a Karl Hess Officiating thread just for the NCAA tournament.ArkieDukie wrote:Did they have that guy who called a bazillion fouls against State and one against unc, or was the game officiated by his friend Karl Hess?Lavabe wrote:Worst officiating call of the year award...

Those gawd-awful calls weren't even foul related. The ref made up his own rule about a lane violation, and then totally missed an out-of-bounds call that happened 2 feet in front of him.

Actually the lane violation was a great call. Rule 9 - Violations and Penalties, Section 1. Free Throw, Art 2. Part G. states: Players not in a legal marked lane space shall remain behind the free- throw line extended and behind the three-point field-goal line until the ball strikes the ring, flange or backboard, or until the free throw ends.CameronBornAndBred wrote:Those gawd-awful calls weren't even foul related.
