[Old School Hound]

Just got beat by a better basketball team. Really not much else to say....But, I'll say it anyway.  The officiating was horrendous, the multiple stops of action to watch TV monitors. Made me kinda thankful for the technical difficulties near the end. I could almost hear Granny Bear saying a few choice words to her TV throughout this game. The Cats were very VERY sloppy in this one. Went from about 7:30 in the first half until into the second with just 1 FG . Committed 9 turnovers in that same span. Auburn is really good but the Cats' performance was pretty bad. They have regressed since earlier in the season. Injuries have been a major reason for that regression, obviously. Bottomline, though, Auburn just has better basketball players and a slimy but pretty darn good basketball coach. It's hard, but you just have to tip your cap.

It's better to laugh than cry, I always say. So, to that end, here's something I read on a UK board that made me laugh out loud. It has nothing to do with the game today, per se. Maybe you'll find it funny, too.

One guy wrote:   "Pope's style is to stay under control and take the high road. Problem is, nice guys finish last. "

Another dude responded:  " Joker Phelps proved that.  I hope Pope isn't our basketball's Joker Phelps."

In response to this, someone else wrote:  "Who is Joker Phelps?"

Another guy, in response, added:  "Michael Phelps younger idiot brother that can't swim. Almost drowns when he gets in the pool."   


Was I wrong to laugh at that?
