i LOVE the tag of your post. i am posting only to comment about how awful nessler and dykes were tonight, two commentators i don't usually mind. all they talked about were irrelevant stats like the one you mention and players' HEELS while shooting free throws. I have never seen that much of coverage of feet in my life.

oh, and GO DORES!

Huge win -- not because they played well -- but because they can win, playing quite poorly, on the road, against a good team, with the officials wildly against them. I've never seen a Vandy team that can do that.

Obviously an off night for a lot of guys, which happens. The thing that worries me -- again -- is rebounds. Might be the single most important aspect of the game and we choose not to do what it takes to excel there. It's going to be the thing that bounces us out of the tournament.

It was nice to see AJ play with some heart. Had the officials been calling fouls, he'd have scored close to 30 tonight.

It's incredible to see us win on the road without JT all night and without Dolla in the second half (except for the two money free throws).

The announcers -- for all the annoying and obviously untrue things they spouted all night -- were dead on when they talked about how much faster JJ releases the ball these days. He's getting quick, though I think he can get faster. He needs to learn to create space for his shot on drives.

Not going to see officiating that one sided the rest of the season... 8 effin' free throws?! All I can say is I'm glad there was company over during the game, for my girlfriend's sake. I heart JJ.

Agree about the heels--at times I thought I was watching red carpet coverage at the Oscars.

Just like with the Arkansas game, I was happy to see us play strong right out of the gate. Florida's shooters were bound to get hot at some point, so it was good to build up a lead early. I was very impressed with Jenkins' catch-and-shoot game--but he just looks awful inside the arc. Hopefully Shan can help him out before the tourney. Also not the biggest fan of Taylor's 18-footers--he's been much more hesitant to take it to the hole. I know CKS loves watching him shoot, but when Taylor isn't getting hacked on layups, our team tends to have trouble getting to the foul line.

Ogilvy's blocks and steals look good in the stat sheet, but he got taken out of position so much that those plays were almost lucky. That said, he finished strong on his layups, and with non-SEC refs, he'll get more and-1 chances.

Overall, a very good road win against a team that needed a W much more than us. Not our best game, but this team seems to have learned out to scrap out wins. We've got our momentum back and hopefully this'll carry us over to SC and the SEC tourney.

If AJ plays with that much heart and energy the rest of the year, good things are bound to happen.

Anyone else hear one of the commentators say that a win on the road against Florida should make us a lock for a 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament? I like the sound of that.

The Future looks bright for Vandy fans...

Wait, they actually played the rest of the game? When Florida was up with 5 minutes to go, I turned the TV off, because, you know, it was over.

Goulbourne out injured, Taylor in foul trouble...no problem...good win!

Great road win for VU actually.

The announcers didn't suck as bas as american idol though. It REALLY blows a55.

Building a relationship needs time and many people in high profile careers don't have enough time to invest in a relationship.

It's true that other metropolis like New York, Tokyo, Bangkok, Las Vegas, Munich etc. have very decent escort service, but when you have a comparative analysis of all of them with the New York girls, then New York always returns more value to your commitment.

That first season Preston North End became the original “invincibles”, winning the competition without losing a game. In addition to the league title they also added the FA Cup to their trophy cabinet that season as well, becoming the first side to record “the double” (It would be 73 years, during the 1960-61 season, before this feat would be repeated; by Bill Nicholson’s Tottenham Hotspur).

In 1970-71 Arsenal became the third “double” winning side although subsequently the 70s and 80s were to be dominated by Liverpool, who in the 15 seasons up to 1989-90, carried the trophy back to their Anfield home on ten occasions with teams guided by Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish. Dalglish’s first success, Liverpool’s own “double” winning season of 1985-86, being as player-manager. Although it should also be remembered that during this period Brian Clough, first with Derby County and then later with Nottingham Forest, became only the 2nd manager to win the league with two different clubs. [url=http://www.taobet.com]bet online[/url] Over the following several years the competition expanded and became less and less associated with the trade fairs. However, it wasn’t until the 1971/72 season that the competition was renamed the UEFA Cup.

The exclusion of English clubs from Cup play opened up the field to teams from other European countries, and the late 80’s saw winners from a range of countries. Starting in 1992, Italian clubs dominated the Cup for nearly a decade. The Italian clubs faired very poorly in the late 90’s, but have returned to the top in several recent championships.

The discontent among the top clubs reached its peak in 1991 and 24 clubs signed an agreement stating their intent to withdraw from the Football League First Division and form the Premier League. Once formed, the League sold its television right to Sky Sports for the sum of £191 million over five years. That figure has grown to around £2.7 billion for three years today.

Finally, realize that all the various bookmakers have their own rules and policies regarding how they settle bets done through arbitrage sports betting when they have such irregular results. As with the advice on pricing, be sure to check the rules of the individual bookmakers before you place your bets.

One key thing to remember when you are seeking out the best sports betting odds is that the best odds and the best sports bookmaker are not necessarily one and the same.

The changes that are going to be made to the Wire Act are quite simple. First and foremost the internet will be added to the list of wire communications that are prohibited. Of course the internet was not around in 1961 so it was not included in the first draft. In addition, penalties for breaking the Wire Act will increase from a maximum of two years in prison to five.

The important thing to note here is that neither of the above approaches is "systemised", although those in the first group believe that they are limiting losses while increasing their winning chances. But what the majority in that first group generally do not take proper account of is how the Bookies have fixed the odds to ensure that they, the Bookies, will come out on top in the long run. What this means is that if you only bet on "favourites" you will eventually lose all your money, although it is true that you will enjoy a much longer period of betting before you kiss your last buck goodbye!

After that goal, there was no way back for Real Madrid. The team, already lackluster in the second half, didn’t fight anymore. In fact, Madrid was lucky the French didn’t score again, as the team had more opportunities at the end. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]himno real madrid[/url] Real Madrid maintains their fight for the title of the Spanish League after beating Real Zaragoza in an anguishing match, 2-1 this past Saturday. Real Zaragoza, which played the second half with ten players due to the expulsion of the Italian midfielder, Matteo Contini, were close to making a draw. However, a great goal from Kaka at minute 82 gave the Meringues the victory and moved them closer to Barcelona in the top spot by one point. Barcelona also took a victory after beating Xerez 3-1, leading with 87 points.

In round 21 of La Liga, Real Madrid (50 points) beat Espanyol 3-0 last Saturday, closing in on Barcelona, the current leader of the Spanish League standings with 55 points. The team led by Manuel Pellegrini added its eleventh victory in the Santiago Bernebeu Stadium and recovered the difference with Barça, which beat Getafe 2-1. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]kaka[/url] Real Madrid also boasted a great game the next day against Villareal, winning 2-0. Villareal’s players and coach were not especially happy with decisions by the referee during the game, but the team stood together. They are still seeking their first victory of the season.

Although you cannot predict outcome of any bingo game, yet, you can be persistent and optimistic of winning a game of online bingo by following such simple and easy strategies. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]online games bingo[/url] If the second called number is say N36, probabilities of the next number not ending in 2 or 6 is more. The first six called numbers could have different digit endings. Thereafter, there could be pairing of one or more of such ending digits. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]uk online bingo[/url] The easiest way to avoid falling victim to a scam is to know the site on which you choose to play. One of the ways this can be accomplished is to talk to other people who play online Bingo to get a feel for the sites they use and what kind of experiences they have had with the site. In most cases, word of mouth is going to be your most accurate means of determining the legitimacy of a Bingo or any other gaming site. Of course, if you are using a free site, knowing about the experiences that others have had with the site is not quite as important, although you do not want to waste your time with something that is unlikely to produce any beneficial results. Of course, a free site is not going to give you much in the way of monetary compensation, and the prizes may be minimal, but for those who are addicted to the game, the challenge is there.

In bingo, each player will get a sheet, which has six cards with a total of 90 numbers. On each one of these bingo cards, you will find 27 spaces grouped in 9 columns x 3 rows format. Each number is unduplicated; hence, it will not be repeated anywhere else in the sheet.

If you are a novice gambler you probably haven’t heard the term but professional centrebet bettors who earn their livelihood from sports centrebet betting use the method all the time taking advantage of the variance in odds from the opinions of the diverse number of bookmakers. Even though it sounds as if it is a no risk situation that may not always be the case and there some issues that can cause you to lose.

Any one who centrebet bets on sports for profit will want to make sure they are getting the best sports centrebet betting odds but it doesn’t matter what you are centrebet betting on, the fact of the matter is that the house is going to be sure to come out on top. They don’t build those billion dollar casinos with winner’s money! The best odds are generally a little centrebet better and a sports centrebet bettor will likely see a return of eight to ten dollars for every hundred dollars he or she centrebet bets over a long term period.

And finally, in the first article in this series I mentioned being honest with yourself, because one of the biggest lies I have found that a tremendous number of centrebet bettors are guilty of is denying to themselves how many times their Base Bank has been busted! If you too are guilty of this, please remember that until you face up to the truth with the determination to do something about it, you can't expect to turn the situation round in your favour.
