We spent a few happy hours at Woodys....dive, touristy, but very fun.
Da Livio ristorante et pizzeria for really good fresh pasta and pizzas....yum.
North shore beaches (trunk, Leinster, cinnamon, maho) are all post card worthy.
South shore and Coral bay on west end are missable...coral bay is more industrial, business end of the island.
If it is just like it was before, this is worth a 7 or 8 hour drive to visit again.
Two possessions...two turnovers

They might have run into each other, especially if your parents enjoy a beer! Mine are owners and operators or a certain sun themed farm brewery.
$$$$ I assume if IU was taking a run at him
Benji Gosnell announced he is returning
Hey, our parents are neighbors!!
/s not really cuz blacksburg rd/catawba rd is long af but minor details :P
Luckily we won. If Cuse didn't hit some highly contested 3's from 2 steps behind the line in the first, we win more easily. If we could've made one of several missed layups or putbacks in the first half, we would've won more easily. If they didn't make a 35' desperation 3 at the buzzer to make the game look closer after it was already won, we would've looked better. I'll take a win on the road against a team that wanted it and had some luck on their side.
We do have a lot to work on. A lot of that relates to fundamentals at the end of a game. I am somewhat cautiously optimistic that some of that can be fixed or have luck give a different outcome moving forward. Here's to hoping. Go Hokies!
There's a guy on youtube shorts who does stuff like that.
I can see it now.
Neo squares up to shoot.
Cut to Gabriel Iglesias "DON'T DO IT"

# | OT: Charles Bediako, Gets TRO against NCAA to play for Alabama Basketball Yep regret with no consequences. He WAIVED his eligibility to go into the draft. It pisses me off that there is this second chance at the apple.
OK that's torture
I agree. He can be proud while still acknowledging they did some really dumb stuff too.
Which is the part that makes the least sense to me here....
Not a Lawyer, but my understanding was TRO are generally used to "maintain the status quo" until a full hearing can be accomplished. It is used generally to prevent immediate "harm" to one (or both) of the parties involved.
Since Bediako was already playing in the NBDL and being paid to play basketball and it has never been the status quo for NBDL players to return to College to play, it doesn't make much sense to me on the surface as to why the ruling fell this way (other than the Bama-Booster Judge).
This was part of his Legal Argument:
"Had Mr. Bediako had more foresight to see the paradigm-shifting changes coming to compensation for NCAA athletes, he likely would still be on campus playing for the University of Alabama right now," the complaint reads, via Al.com. "When the NCAA recently began to reinstate players with G League experience, and even players who had entered and been selected in the NBA Draft, Mr. Bediako saw this as a chance to right a wrong decision that he had regretted over the past three years."
This is essentially akin to me Suing Jeff Bezos because I didn't have the foresight to buy Amazon stock when it was sub $100, but now I think he should sell it to me for $50/share just because I made a mistake and bought Sears instead....complete nonsense.

# | OT: Charles Bediako, Gets TRO against NCAA to play for Alabama Basketball The first judge inserted a no penalty clause in the TRO. Any wins until a court rescinds it will still count. I did laugh when I saw someone suggest that Tennessee sue Alabama to get a TRO barring him from playing in their game there.
Even if the wins count, nothing prevents the selection committee from not selecting them if they dont win the SEC Tournament
Because we have a house with a generator, my wife has basically invited every cousin and sibling with kids to our house for the weekend. My quiet little life is going to have 7 extra kids this weekend and I have been told I can't even put them to work.
Oh man i went with my buddy w last name Brooks a couple times and that intercom man somehow stretched it to three syllables
Hokies!
And I think we can win if we have decent shooting. A bad night shooting and we don't win.
What happens if the next judge says this was the wrong decision, he is ineligible and as a result Bama has to zero out every game they won while he played. That could throw them from have 22 wins to having say 14 wins and therefore out of the tournament.
Nice run. 17-13 almost end of Q1.
