Did you ever get married to that Filipino mail order deal?
I still think the success at the end of the year before set them up for failure that year. They were too young and thought they were too good.
Yeah I agree with that too, I just think, while Williams wasn't going to be all conference or anything and by no means was a huge difference maker, his departure also threw a huge wrench in things from a roster stand point that season. Even if he wasn't that impactful of a player, he would have filled a role that team desperately needed so to say and then Connor got sick and injured and by that time things were already off the rails. It truly in hindsight now IMO looks like a anomaly season. I think preparing a roster and having everything in place to plan is HUGE thing and something that's hard to over come "in season" -- injuries, departures and what not are even more impactful during the year because there isn't as much time to plan for that kind of factor.
Mayb we should take a poll? I met her on FB thru her aunt, who lives in my home town. No, I broke up with her. Went over there twice, was going to retire there due to the nearly 50 to 1 currency rate. Was simply too damn hot for me. Its a complete change in CLIMATE, not just weather. After I came back the second time , was here about a half a year when she decided she needed a boyfriend there. Told her that didn't work for me.
Did you actually get to see those towns or is that where your connecting flights happened to be?
So what did u think of Manilla?
Some of both. When I had huge lay-overs I,d get out n about, see the sights etc. Always afraid I,d miss my next flight, however!
Frickin' hot!! A family with 4 kids stared at me for half an hour- they d never seen an American b4. The ppl were nice overall, though I was repeatedly warned about kidnapping and terrorist activities, couldn't enjoy it much.
Manilla made me not comfortable. Miles and miles of people on top of people in the streets. Kidnappings do occur and in the rural areas. Sun comes up and sets about the same time every day with the temp the same. Incredibly beautiful countryside. The volcano area near Manilla is spectacular. The American cemetery there is beautiful and peaceful. I've had to interact with Russian mafia before, but frankly Manilla made me more nervous. Incredibly nice people. No kidding that Emelda Marcos barged me out of an elevator.
How is Putin doing?
I am thinking possibly 8 to as worse as 11.I will go out on a limb and say 5-10.
Welp, we aren't the only team that lost top talent. Others would logically be expected to drop off also. Mayb we can hang onto that for some hope!I am thinking possibly 8 to as worse as 11.
Top three players gone. Question marks all over the place.
As a weight lifter right out of high school, “1979” the body builders went by the old adage of “no pain no gain”. I expect a lot of pain this season with a lot of gain the following season.
Truly hope I am wrong and we are much better than what I expect. If both of the twin brothers do well and a guard surprises and exceeds expectations and the transfer center can be consistent and hold his own under the basket, then I could revise my expectations a bit.
If only if’s and but’s were candy and nut’s what a wonderful world Hawkeye Land would be.
Never met him.
