Here in College Park. The bartender is very nice despite my Illini gear. Remember to always tip the opposition well if they still treat you above and beyond.
Iirc, Izzo didn't say they were undetectable. He just said B1G zebras wouldn't call them fouls if they were directed at Kofi. A payback thing, I think he said.This strategy was developed and popularized last year by Tom Izzo. I've heard rumors that he held a super secret coaches clinic in the off-season to teach Illinois opponents how to deliver debilitating headshots that are undetectable by modern officials and largely without any real disciplinary consequence.

Surprised you got service at all. Not because of the Illini gear, mind you, but because I’ve never experienced a city with worse customer service in the restaurant business.Here in College Park.

Yep that’s DC, as JFK noted, the worst of both worlds: northern hospitality and southern efficiency!Surprised you got service at all. Not because of the Illini gear, mind you, but because I’ve never experienced a city with worse customer service in the restaurant business.
Edit: wow, I sound like a grumpy old man, but I stick to my comment. Lived there six years and it wasn’t a one-off thing.
The bartender was the only good one. Everyone else there was either dismissive or outright rude. But the bartender was definitely great.Surprised you got service at all.

Respectfully disagree. My hometown is a lovely, if idiosyncratic, place. Though, I must admit, it didn't prepare me for how nice everyone was gonna be in the midwest. I felt like such an a$$hole by comparison when I got on campus.Yep that’s DC, as JFK noted, the worst of both worlds: northern hospitality and southern efficiency!
It’s horrible across the board. Makes Philly look positively Midwestern with charm.
EDIT: to be fair the burbs like College Park are better. The city itself is pretty bad.
This show is so good. Sorry, thats OT. Just saying.When the Vikings rolled...errr floated up to their next foreign land to conquer....they burned their boats after landing. Essentially...conquer our enemies...or die.
I'm guessing swimming with all that Viking war gear was a challenge.
Win or die trying.
(but don't die, it's an exaggerated metaphor from ancient warring tribes)
(I'm also not suggesting they burn the charter airplane after landing)
(but that would go viral)
To be fair Omar's was a flagrant. I wasn't real happy with it in the context and flow of the game (or the fact that it was against ratface) but Omar clearly very intentionally raked his face with the arm. If they would have been calling the rough play from Purdue it likely doesn't happen so I blame it on the stripes not keeping the physical play under control.Was just about to post that, Dan.
Just remember folks: Omar’s was a flagrant, but Edey leading with elbows to the head was never looked at. That play was also from the first half, so explains a bit how Kofi struggled down the stretch. And again, he implored the refs to look at a similar play in the second half and got stonewalled.
If they didn't do anything of substance for what happened to Ayo at MSU they certainly are not going to do anything here.If I’m Whitman that video is headed straight to the head of the big 10 office.
He rides the refs hard during the game. I’m sure he wanted to get a T against Purdue but there was never a good time to do it during the game.I’m a big BU fan, but he needs to step up in games to protect his players. “Strong letter to follow” is sometimes not enough.
Yea it is a very fine line between sticking up for the guys and getting them back into it versus having the wheels come off entirely and not being focused on playing against a very good team.He rides the refs hard during the game. I’m sure he wanted to get a T against Purdue but there was never a good time to do it during the game.
I thought the same thing. The times during the game when a T would have been appropriate occurred when we were already down 4 or 6 points. Giving up two free throws and possession would have dug the hole deeper. Of course, he could have waited until Purdue had the ball so we would have only lost the two points but you get my point. There just wasn't a good time to get a T.He rides the refs hard during the game. I’m sure he wanted to get a T against Purdue but there was never a good time to do it during the game.

Maybe, but I think it was just too close of a game to give up two free throws and possession. That alone would have cost the game before OT.Yea it is a very fine line between sticking up for the guys and getting them back into it versus having the wheels come off entirely and not being focused on playing against a very good team.
Appears someone has been roofied alreadyHere in College Park. The bartender is very nice despite my Illini gear. Remember to always tip the opposition well if they still treat you above and beyond.
lol...........i'm getting ready for my pre-game meal of Ribeye , baked tater and salad.........loaded bowl and Absolute vodka for dessert.....yum yum...Appears someone has been roofied already
Sorry to offend. I've lived here on and off for 25 years and just haven't seen a significant change in customer svc attitude in the District. NoVA was fine when I lived there for a while. My little area near downtown Bethesda is a nightmare, frankly, but it's more the residents than the shopkeepers. And when I've gone back to the Midwest the past couple falls, after being away for a long while, I've just been knocked over at the difference everywhere.Respectfully disagree. My hometown is a lovely, if idiosyncratic, place. Though, I must admit, it didn't prepare me for how nice everyone was gonna be in the midwest.

As for College Park, it has like 3 bars. Despite, thankfully, being built up recently, it's still a pretty sad college town.
