CF posts of the Month: January 2019

Instead of waiting until year-end, I compiled enough material for January. No guarantee I can do it on a monthly basis throughout the year, but testing the waters.

I’ll post few of my favorites in several segments. (Some include minor edits for clarity/concision.)

If anyone has other nuggets I didn't include, please post!

From the thread: Mid-week Mailbag 1-9 -- regarding A-1/Heinz 57 debate
@MeanDean: Reminds me of when people used to say that putting salt on something was an insult to the cook/chef. I always liked to say, "No, it's a compliment. It means I'm considering eating it."

@jcyclonee: It's also an insult if you can't eat your sushi whole. Sorry. Make your sushi smaller. I'm not Linda Lovelace.

**Several other gems followed, I couldn’t keep up!**


From the thread: Face … meet backboard

@madguy30: Sometimes it pays to be a marginal athlete so you don't have to worry about things like that. And by “you” I mean ”me.”

@Blandboy: Definitely targeting...led with the crown of his head!

@LindenCy: Any report on his health? That was brutal.
@Blandboy: He has a headache

@coolerifyoudid: He's facing a few issues, but he's tackling them head-on.


From the thread: Iowa’s collapse begins in January
@cyrocksmypants: They’ve got to just pump a **** ton of artificial noise into (Carver-Hawkeye). At one point the place sounded raucous, but when I looked at the crowd, nobody was clapping or cheering. It reminded me of the old PS2 basketball games where the crowd gets loud, but it’s just like paper cutouts when you look at it.

Barstool Sports

Barstool Sports has its number of controversies and you either love it or hate it. Figured with the immense popularity, could start a thread to highlight what people enjoys, news, good podcasts, etc.


PFT and Portnoy somehow got into the NFL Media day tonight and have gotten some hilarious comments. Kind of have to be a listener/reader to understand why they were so funny. Few below.

Baylor vs. Oklahoma 8pm ESPNU
TCU vs. Texas Tech 8pm ESPN

Interested in both of these games tonight. Can Tech protect home court and get back to their winning ways to prove they belong in the conversation at the top of the conference?

Why is Conditt not getting more minutes?

I was wondering why George Conditt is not getting more minutes. I know Lard is playing more and Jacobsen is playing quite a bit, but the past few games Conditt has really not played at all. I think he could have provided some valuable minutes against Kansas, especially with our foul trouble. I also think he would have at least gotten a few minutes against Ole Miss except for the last minute or two. I thought before the Kansas game he was playing pretty well. Would he possibly be in Prohm's dog house?
