Was just thrown for a bit of a loop…I turned on the TV to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs on CBC Hockey Night In Canada, and the first face I see is Quentin Grimes!
Didn’t realize he has a half-brother who plays for Winnipeg. The network was doing a feature on the two. If Q makes it in the league (a BIG if in my book), they’d be the first pair of brothers to play in the NHL and NBA.

I’m waiting for Brigham Young to win the national title some year, so they can play “One Shining Mormon”…

G’night everybody, and don’t forget to tip your waiters !

Wonder what that guy who placed that $1500 bet on Tech at 200-to-1 is thinking. He could have cashed it in for $150k. Instead, he held out for the whole $300,000.

Those folks in Vegas must be taking a real deep breath right now…

Didn’t look like enough to overturn. No change in the direction of the ball spin.

OT

Well, neutral fans (and the network suits) can’t complain too much…they got a nail-biter down the stretch.

I think a lot of us have gotten “Curried.”

We’ve been mesmerized by the three and the slam so much that we forget there are other ways to win the game.

About what I expected…solid defense leading to less-than-stellar shooting. Could be a case of “last team to score wins”.

@Crimsonorblue22 Fortunately my HS was within walking distance of the ballpark.

One of the teachers almost caught me skipping school. The next day he asked if I skipped after 3rd period. I said no. (I actually left after 4th period.) Years later at a reunion I fessed up, and he just shook his head in mock disgust.

Hard to believe it’s been exactly 50 years since the very first Royals game at old Municipal Stadium. Lou Piniella went 4-for-5 as they beat the Twins 4-3.

I skipped school to see the game…Unfortunately I missed the end 'cause it went into extra innings and I had to catch the last bus back to my neighborhood.

The ballpark was only half-full for the season opener, around 17,000 in the stands. (Considerably fewer than that tonight at the K for the game against the Mariners.)

Exactly five years later to the day, I sat in my dorm room at KU and watched Hank Aaron hit his 715th career homer for the Braves to break Babe Ruth’s record. Still the legit home run king as far as I’m concerned.
