Oregon game?

[Eric15]

Not to get too geographical on you, but reverse that. Black Hills are in western SD.

And the Pine Ridge Reservation is the most depressing place in the US.

Didn't have my coffee yet. That's obviously correct.

Also, the Kongo Klub outside Mitchell is the least interesting gentlemen's club I’ve ever been to.

CuseFaninVT would know. He drives an AWD Subaru and can travel those terrains with ease.

I would ask the board that no one make any low-hanging fruit references/jokes to how a Subaru is the absolute perfect car for this road trip.

I feel this thread would not be complete without a link to this song...

Too late. Now I'm embarrassed.

Well now I'm very intrigued. Please share more with us about how you spent last weekend.

OMG. Pretty sure it was a Nissan Xterra. It was 2000, and I remember bombing along some back country road heading to Custer National Park doing 85 with my coworker in the back seat typing out our findings for the day, drinking wine coolers, at 10:30 in the morning. The rest of that day and night was epic. One of the highlights was leaving Custer NP after stopping to check out a group of tatanka that had all these folks with giant lenses on their cameras with tripods. Kevin guns it as we‘re pulling away and the buffalo took off faster than you’d imagine.

It was literally the only bar open we could find. Pretty sure the dancer we saw that night, from a distance, was 7 weeks post delivery.

Haven't been in a Walmart in like 4 years. No plans to change that for a long time

Don’t know what you’re missing.
Why spend big bucks to see the top comedians when you can just go walk around a Walmart late night and laugh twice as much?

Meh that's what people of Walmart and social media reels are for.

Nothing like being there live in person.

Go for it. Im good with a de brief.

There is a great chance this game played in South Dakota will be played either on the way to or traveling from the Maui Tournament on November 20-22. It wouldn't make sense to fly all the way to SD at any other time during the season just for a one-off game.

It looks like it is about a 4 hour drive from the Twin Cities so I plan to be there unless Syracuse plays on Thanksgiving Day and I'm guilted into doing family time.

Rumor has it, his car climbed Mt Washington.

I've figured out the Syracuse connection with this game in South Dakota. Lea Miller-Tooley is the wife of Jim Tooley, the CEO of Basketball USA, a close friend of many in the Syracuse basketball program. She is the person who arranged and led the SU trip to Italy in 2019 and who was working on the cancelled Israel trip. Looks like we traded Israel for South Dakota.

Looks like we traded Israel for South Dakota.

Throw in a couple of minor league cities or cash considerations, and you've got a deal.

As a Stumpy does!

Sure it's random, but I love this. I love seeing new parts of the country and the arena looks pretty cool. And it's a lot cheaper to go there than a lot of other road trips. I bought very affordable tickets to Minneapolis for me and my son and plan to drive the 3.5 hours and knock a few states off my list (detour to Iowa...).

 

[NKR1978]

I totally support Red being the anti Boeheim and scheduling the toughest grind possible OOC to build up the RPI and betting on his dogs to get it back in a weak ACC even if it doesn’t go well though.

Awesome we are Syracuse and JBs cowardice in scheduling grew old.

Other than the Big East schools, I can’t remember our last big home/home series? Amazing in 03 we had a January game with Missouri and then the February @ MSU. Would love to get back to that.

Yup, the game with Missouri was the first of our five Big 12 wins that year en route to our Big 12 Championship!

Ill timed matchups against the OBE (Georgetown when it’s lose lose) tournaments in NYC where there is no good outcome ie a bad but tough St John’s team in Brooklyn it’s lose lose and of course we lose anyway just stale with no upside. Once Villanova got really good that’s when you keep the series a loss literally doesn’t matter just like a win at home against Georgetown doesn’t really matter either theyve been like Colgate and UB.

Even bringing in an SEC school would be more fun Florida home and home.

I shouldn’t pile on JB though let’s be honest our 3 recent NCAA runs which do matter plenty of schools go a long time without making the second weekend we’re years we were a coin flip to get in didn’t need an extra loss.

These games you really can’t lose look at WVU this year a bid was never in doubt even when they were under .500 at one point because they played almost all good teams.
