I'm Josh, Sam and CJ rolled into one. We don't have a "West Wing" budget. It's the Washington 5th District (Spokane and environs). Trying to take down No. 4 in House leadership (Cathy McMorris Rodgers). National story if we do. Stay tuned!

Just now seeing this. Devastating. One of my favorite posters. Great sense of humor, never mean-spirited. I just don't know what else to say.

About to slide into semi-retirement. Keep working, guys. Those payroll taxes are very meaningful to me! What is semi-retirement? Half the work, all the pay? So much for that. Joined a political campaign (Congress) as communications director. Never been busier. Watched last three games on DVR. Gotta...

Plays of the Game. Two in the final two minutes when you have to get stops. Meanwhile, Alkins and Trier go 2-4 from the line. Could've cost us.

Had a 30+ streak against Wazzu before the Bennetts. No way Lute was going to do that against Monty.

Gutty win. Blow a double-digit lead, fall behind by double-digits, then dig in and win. That's Miller instilling toughness.

We really need to chill with the zone fear mongering this year. Outside of a few lapses, this team has done well against zone defenses. It's certainly nothing even close to what we have seen in recent years. There have been multiple games where teams have switched to zone and abandoned it shortly a...

What the hell is wrong with the Star? This was not an upset. The rankings are the only thing they're basing it off of. I guess they haven't heard of KenPom or Sagarin rankings, or Vegas point spreads. And they wonder why traditional sports sections are dying. Sorry gumby. Every section is dying. I ...

Inquiring minds want to know...

Alls I know is Cats have won Ayton a row because of Deandre.

Fuck. I missed the whole damn game. Now I'll have to find a replay somewhere. (anybody know?) I was commanded to finish building my BBQ bench so we could use it this week.

Cats +15 with Parker, best on team. Barcello ... still has the yips. Alkins, bad turnovers. Parker is crucial. Definitely. But here’s what I don’t understand. He’s so good at breaking the press, so why doesn’t the team break toward the basket more often for a high percentage shot earlier in the sho...

I'm OK with saying Bagley -- just put up 32/21 -- and Ayton are both extraordinary. Rise above the fanboy trap of thinking that praise for one diminishes the other, grasshopper. When you do this -- and take the pebble from my hand -- you may go. Bagley, Ayton, Young, Sexton ... extraordinary freshme...

Come Monday, it will be all right. Come Monday, we'll be holding tight to a top 15 ranking. That's an accurate reflection. Last poll, we were the top-ranked three-loss team (and ahead of many with better records), so we aren't being ignored. Need to stay humble to make progress. Defense looking much...

Dick Enberg, Eddie Einhorn and TVS. Read all about how college hoops made its way onto television, long after college football was already there.

Well, that was some sharp-shooting down the stretch, along with a couple of odd breakdowns by UConn, allowing dunks by Alkins and Trier. The latter was hard to see since ESPN chose that moment (under 3 minutes to go) to use that freaking split screen for Walton antics. In any event, any game we can ...

Not exactly on topic but I just switched to espn2. Vitale saying the ball brothers leaving UCLA is a great Xmas gift for Alford.

But did he really destroy us? Never felt like he dominated the game even though he was at the FT line all night long. I suppose that's worth something, but the guards were doing better and certainly trying harder than I've seen them all year to limit the penetration. Yeah Sexton is tough. He killed...

On to free throws. Cats make only two more per game than the opponent (17/15). Have only attempted 15 more in 10 games. Would like to see more separation there. Last year it was 17 to 11 FTs made. Would be indicative of better defense (without fouling). Plus, a lineup of Trier (all year) and Ayton s...
