They gave up and went back inside. I assume they’re boiling a pot of water now

just watched someone trying to scrape their windshield with a dustpan. Maybe go back inside til spring. This is not for you

I see that just about everyone doing this also backs into their spots, so I assume you think of yourself as a driving expert and that you know more than everyone else. So you probably think you're right and I'm wrong ... so I don't know why I'm bothering...

OK. I'm just going to say this: If the weather is bad enough to freeze your wipers to your windshield, you're going to need to run your car awhile to de-ice before you even think of using the wipers. So pulling them away from the windshield before it snows does nothing

Today, Duke will play its third game of the season against a former player (Schutt, VT; Reeves, Clem; now Blakes, Stan). Next game is No. 4, against UVA & TJ Power.
Prior to this season, Duke had played 8 games against former players all-time.

Wife has a garlic allergy, so Valentine's Day is always a challenge
"Of course we can accommodate her with our Prix fixe menu. Instead of arugula & goat cheese salad, she'll get plain lettuce in a bowl & instead of shrimp & grits, buttered noodles"
& the price?
Still $75/person

This Super Bowl is so lopsided, it's almost like the Bills won the AFC Championship Game

I can actually read everything on the scorebug, even with my tiny old person TV and my poor old person vision. So I don't care how ugly it is.

NC State is now 64-39 all-time on days Duke and Carolina play each other. 11-11 since 2000.

Jan 6 was planned & organized a lot better than I thought if they only attacked officers who had criminal records

I'm not sure these announcers in UNC-Pitt have ever seen a basketball game before. Every single play amazes them.

Workers in orange jackets and helmets are getting ready to dig outside (not sure why).
Worker: (yelling) What about the gas line?
Supervisor: (yelling) I don't think there is a gas line.

This should go really well...

Left the court in a hurry and thought my phone was in my pocket. When I realized it wasn't, I fought my way back onto the floor. As soon as they saw me, the Crazies held out my phone to give it back to me.
(*Points) Shout out to them for the assist. They're good kids

Duke's free throw defense has been its best all year tonight. They haven't let the Wolfpack even shoot one.

Now, where did I put my list of all the times UNC & Duke have played each other with both coming off of a loss?
No reason... just curious

Refs at the monitor during the time out. Pretty sure State is going to score another point here. They're checking to see if that was a three (it was)

Unc misses at the buzzer and we are headed to overtime.
And hundreds of fans pour into the aisles & start walking out. Do they think it ended in a tie? Have they been waiting to go to the bathroom? I’m confused

Boston College hasn't scored 85 points all year and they now have 87 against UNC

UNC three-game losing streaks by decade

1970s: 1
1980s: 1
1990s: 3
2000s: 5
2010s: 4
2020s (through 1/24/25): 6

UNC fighting to avoid its second three-game losing streak of the season and fourth in the last three years.

Roy Williams had 4 three-game losing streaks from 2003 to 2019. Dean Smith had 4 from 1966 to 1996 (and 2 of them were in the 4 years Hubert Davis was playing for him)

Since we're renaming the Gulf of Mexico, can't we be a little more creative and still patriotic? How about Bald Ea-Gulf?

If my dog getting a new squeaky toy had a box score, it would be this Duke-Miami game

Top two are Pitt/UNC's Cam Johnson (45) and NC State's Cam Bennerman (18)

Duke's Reddish (209 in 2018) and Hall (70 in 1977 & 78) are the all-time leaders
