Well yeah it's a university. But I said college in just the general sense

Re: Off Topic V
My brother texted me and said that he saw Brook Lopez in a Barnes & Noble in Burlington. Peculiar.

He's very big on comic books so that's probably why he was there..
Also - I like your username 5% more, now that I know you actually have a brother.

gotcha. I was focusing on the book store, not the city because as you said I had no idea what Burlington is.

Re: Off Topic V
Lulz, come on Fats. Burlington Coat Factory is named for Burlington, New Jersey. I'm not even sure we have one of those around here anymore. I'm not gonna call it Charlotte or anything but the area's not as dead anymore. And the Barnes & Noble in question isn't far from Greensboro, which makes slightly more sense. Does Lopez have any ties to the state?

Yep that's right
HOW AWESOME IS THAT
My in-laws, who know nothing about basketball, bought me a Morrison one for my birthday several years ago. I didn't have the heart to tell them how much I thought he sucked.
Fair to say it didn't get worn all that much though.

Re: Off Topic V
Diop has gotten a fair bit of wear already.
Just wearing it gives me + 2 strength, although my free throw shooting goes down - 5

No thoughts on Survivor? I guess it wasn't that great of a season. I knew was winning as soon as they merged

I felt the same way. I was obviously hoping he'd come to UNC but I figured Kentucky or FSU.
