  1. KD is out for the year and everything is terrible.
  2. UNLV's Rashard Vaughn is declaring for the draft. Pretty sure he's the highest-ranked player to do so yet.
  3. 1Weather is the best weather widget. 1Password is great for managing your logins, especially if you already have the mac or pc version. Google Keep is great for notes and lists although it's not as feature-rich as Evernote. Beyond Pod is a good free podcast player.
  4. Reports are that Barnes is out at Texas after refusing the AD's demands to overhaul his coaching staff. This one I would be a little worried about Marshall leaving for.
  5. Yeah, the one saving grace I can pull from WSU's loss is that I don't have to see them get their shit wrecked by Kentucky.
  6. Alonzo Mourning confirmed to Lebatard and Bomani Jones that the "WHO WANTS TO SEX MUTOMBO?" story did, in fact, happen. So they have a Pulitzer locked up this year.
  7. A friend of mine wrote about the Shockers for Grantland.
  8. Haase getting 6 years is remarkable considering that at the beginning of the season it was not at all a sure thing that he'd be back for next year. Always nice to see a former Kansas boy do good.
  9. Ew, I didn't know this. How does he sleep at night? Oh, right: I mean, they play in Charles Koch Arena. It's not subtle.
  10. From all he's said I don't think Marshall is going to any school that doesn't prioritize basketball, no matter what the contract looks like. He has a pretty plum gig right now; WSU is by far the biggest game in town, he's not competing for resources with a football team, and he has the Koch brothers as boosters. It's going to take a really good situation to get him out of there. I try to tell myself that Shaka is holding out for Bo Ryan to retire and he'll come home to take the UW job, but I don't think that's realistic. I also don't think that "havoc" is going to fly in a better conference.
  11. Alabama is going to make a big money run at Gregg Marshall once the NCAAs are over. It's really, really hard for me to see him taking the job there, no matter what the offer is.
  12. 7'3, 335 lbs. A mere snip of a lad. No kidding? Maybe he just has bigger teammates but he doesn't look nearly as outsized as Sim
  13. I had no idea there was another Bhullar. I just wish he was as comically gigantic as his brother.
  14. I had them in the finals! But I also hate Iowa State so I'm not that sorry to see them lose.
  15. UPSET ALERT: Northeastern is up 3-0 This has been a shit week, thank god for basketball.
  16. I think Crean is safe on more year, if only because it would cost between 7 and 10 million to buy him out depending on when they do it. Groce is a dead man walking, though.
  17. I've had the Nexus 6 for a month or so and I really, really love it. The size is quite manageable; I have small hands and I can do most things on it one-handed. The screen is absolutely gorgeous and the size makes reading on the phone much easier and more enjoyable. The camera is...good enough? It's fairly shit in low light, but everything else looks great. I wish it focused a bit faster, but that's a small deal. Good news man. Have you put 5.1 on it yet? I heard that 5.1 improves performance. I just ordered mine today. Going through a Comcast link will get me a $200 gift card. Couldn't pass it up. Phone should get here a week from today or week from tomorrow. I'm stoked. How is your battery life? I'm waiting for the OTA of 5.1 so I don't have it yet. I haven't run into any major problems with 5.0.1 besides it occasionally dropping wifi, and that might be my shitty router. Battery life is tremendous. I can go two days of moderate usage and still have 20% or so left.
  18. I thought for sure Jonny Flynn was going to have a 10-year NBA career after that game. I figured he'd be a bust, but I assume that about every Syracuse player. I also thought Curry would be an average backup PG at best, so the fuck do I know? It appears KU will once again inexplicably struggle against TCU, so hoo-fucking-rah.
  19. Today is the six year anniversary of the absolutely bonkers 6OT game between Syracuse and UConn in the Big East tourney.
  20. I've had the Nexus 6 for a month or so and I really, really love it. The size is quite manageable; I have small hands and I can do most things on it one-handed.

  21. This weeks bundle is the complete Bloom County, currently going for about $8.50. For another $5 you can get the complete run of Outland and Opus as well. Bloom County is right up there with Calvin & Hobbes for me, so I am super-duper geeked for this.
  22. Congratulations! Dr Control has a nice ring to it.
  23. I finally caved and got Darkest Dungeon. It's pretty dang good, although leveling up a crew is a bit more of a grind than I'd care for. And once things start to go bad in a dungeon they tend to go horrifically, catastrophically bad. So I pretty much love it. I also grabbed Banished on sale, which is a medieval village-building sim. There's definitely some Dwarf Fortress in its DNA, so it's also punishingly difficult. Which is kind of a shame because it's got some nice graphics and would be an enjoyable game to sit and watch run for a bit. But if you do that then everyone starves and/or freezes to death.
  24. Detox is going to have some dope Perry Como samples on it.
