Estonia has been a NATO member since 2004. There is no concern. Biden has been very clear on if any NATO country is attacked.
Is what I would have said.

If I was Pasch I would just shoot him and put us all out of our misery.

The Caucus Humongous was the name of our spur-of-the-moment joint venture contracting entity thrown together to bid jobs within a larger groovy hippie workers' collective in 1970s Eugene Oregon. But mostly it was to talk smack to the Womyn's Glom lesbian joint venture.

Re: Best/Worst analysts/commentators/announcers
what the fuck was that nonsense at the half, the second analyst said "consistency" was a problem with Arizona and they had to "prove" to the country they are "worthy" of a #1 seed and separate from the pack.
yikes 25-2 ...time to press the gas here in the second half.

Bilas has become a whiny bitch, or maybe he always was.
Clearly that’s a foul.

Re: Best/Worst analysts/commentators/announcers
Regardless what anyone thinks of Bilas, et. al., I believe they were assigned last nite's game because the consesus was that it would be a battle, and probably that the U of A would be exposed as over-rated.
I'm glad they, and ESPN were there, in LA, the biggest media center in the West!! EVERYONE got to see just what a high quality team the Cats have!!! Our two frontline stars C-Lo & AT were hampered by ticky-tack foul calls from early in the game, but Arizona did not miss a beat!!! Our 8-player rotation is largely interchangeable and we can be expected to match up with any opposing talent of style!!!
Bilas could have hardly been more complimentary of Arizona, and I think the visibility accorded by ESPN and LA media have cemented us as a #1 seed, regardless of what happenes at the PAC-12 tourney in Vegas.
BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!!!!

I agree with all of this.
And while we're on the topic:
Has it become abundantly clear that the conference tourneys have come to mean absolutely nothing for the committee's bracket, other than slotting in conference tourney champions?

Re: Best/Worst analysts/commentators/announcers
A) I was very happy that the majority of the ass kicking happened in the first half. That allowed Eastern & Central viewers to go to bed at 11 or midnight thinking that Arizona is most definitely one of the best two or three teams in the country and worthy of our high ranking and a #1 seed.Longhorned wrote: Wed Mar 02, 2022 10:23 am I agree with all of this.

B) This season there is a clear distinction between the top 15 teams and everyone else. One or two games in a tournament that’s an obvious cash grab for the conferences won’t change that. Arizona losing in the second round to Colorado or Oregon won’t impact their body of work at all, nor should it. The previous 31 games definitively proved they are a 1 seed.
