who said anything about the dark horse? Lots of other options within 3 blocks.

I don't either except when it's really cold. Even then, my wife's going to complain more about that than my kid.
Yesterday was way too cold, for one. Another thing is that a 10-year old has a limited attention span. Keeping her interested and motivated to come to the games is important. Parking three blocks away means a 10-15 minute walk, each way. Not making excuses, because we certainly could walk it, it's just more hassle than they're willing to put up with. Believe me, I've tried.
Remember the wind tunnel walk 2 years ago? That freaking sucked!
Fair.
To be 100% honest, it was so loud in the Keg I didn't hear the whistle and at the time thought Ski was trying to make a cheap statement with 100 pts on a closing dunk.
Either way, I don't mind. UO was still trying to steal the ball from him. No reason not to keep playing. (Or stick a little payback in an opponent's face.)

You know, of all the busch league stuff that happened yesterday, I really was hoping ski's dunk would have counted. We were all set to dribble out the last 12 or so seconds, and once we get it across the half court line someone (dotson maybe?) fouls him? I mean they already lost and we were content to leave the score as is but they had to go and foul him. A huge dunk at the end of the game like that (unguarded during dribble out time) could have been a bit classless but would have been a nice **** YOU to altman and the quacks.
Boulder has these things called streets. You can park on them. Generally, at worst, you will end up about a 3 block distance (sometimes 4) from the south entrance to the keg. Even closer than the darkhorse!
The **** YOU came 10 seconds later when Boyle subbed in the bench squad :nod:
Hey, its one thing to complain about officiating, another to blame losses on them.

the closest thing I ever find on that side is practically on 30th street. I find it much easier to just park on campus but avoiding 28th
So you're going to bitch about parking no matter where you park? Got it.

I'm bitching about inefficiency and stupidity by the parking people, get with the program.
FiFY.
Guilty. Truthfully, I've driven in the snow a lot (not sure if I've done it well). But man, I was unable to handle yesterday's slow-speed smashup. It all happened about 10 miles per hour, but sideways.
Thanks gents. I was a little sheepish about the whole thing. Fortunately there were no injuries--the dude was just getting into his vehicle and didn't see me. He'd just closed his door when I hit it. Then I slid down the road for another two hundred feet, locked up and unable to stop.
huh. I had this figured as an I70 incident where you are crawling along, the tires get packed, lose all traction, and you have nowhere to go and just start sliding. Hell, that almost happened to me on new years day. Don't tell me you managed to do this in a parking lot or something?
Does your girlfriend have a subaru?

I agree, I hate the over rated chant. it makes a great win about your opponent instead of about yourself. Great programs fans don't chant over rated at other solid programs win they win. It is a chant reserved for loser programs who get lucky over a better opponent.
We were the better team. Why chant overrated? As a ranked team ourselves we should be expecting our team to at least compete against everyone.

I feel like a double bird would have been appropriate for Altman.
I'll let the students know they need to change the chant. What do you guys suggest?
You-were-rat-ed-per-fect? (to give a nod to our win and the accuracy of our polls)
Under-rat-ed? (too make our win even more impressive)
All wheel drive Volvo, actually. I have standards, but they're low.
It was on the downhill out of Eldora. I only had a few hours to ski, so I kept it local.
