Re: Hawaii

Maui and Kauai are the only two that I've been to. Although we rented houses on both islands and didn't stay on any of the beaches. I preferred Kauai. We stayed in Princeville which is up north. The island just seemed more lush and laid back. The blowhole was cool that Catgrad was talking about. The...

Re: Vanderbilt vs Wichita State game thread

I'm not really impressed with either team. I'm hoping Vandy wins as I'd rather go against their bigs than deal with WSU's guards. I don't think Vandy's guards are that athletic and would be a good match-up for our guards, and I think our bigs would dominate theirs.

Either Oregon was playing really fast, or Utah looked like they were playing with cement in their shoes. Probably a combination of the two. Oregon has a chance to go a long way if they keep playing like this.
