Tuesday Grab Bag: A Split in Las Vegas

I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday week.  Mine had been, up to the point that nasty winter weather in Sweet Home Chicago canceled a swath of flights out of both Midway and O'hare, threatening to leave me stranded in the city of my youth.  Luckily, a quick audible at the line and a two hour 'L'-ride from the Southside to the North got me on one of the few flights out of town still on the schedule.  It was a long day (total of 18 hours, door-to-door; could've been much, much worse), but no real complaints; I'd rather be back safely than not at all.

Still struggling to remember where I am, I'll be slightly abbreviated today, as I wrap up the Las Vegas Classic and talk about the start of Pac-12 conference play. There'll be a full preview of Friday's game against Cal up later this week, however, so keep your eyes open for that.

Quick Post: Pt 5 of the AllBuffs Basketball Roundtable.

The final day of the AllBuffs Basketball Roundtable is upon us.  Before you head to The Keg tonight, read up on what Goose, Buffnik, Tyler Ziskin, Zach Bell and I think about the future of the program.  Head on over and join the discussion by posting a comment in the thread.

Remember, BASKETBALL SEASON STARTS TONIGHT!  Goose, Buffnik and I will be over at the World Famous Dark Horse with the rest of the Allbuffs crew celebrating the start of the season.  Before hitting the CEC in style, why don't you swing by and say hello?

Because it's a day for basketball glorification, I post the following without comment:

When you're finished digesting all the signing day fun, head on over to Allbuffs where the Basketball Roundtable rolls into day 3.  Goose, Buffnik, Tyler Ziskin, Zach Bell, and I talk about areas of improvement and regression, non-conference schedule expectations, and season-wide expectations.

Quick Post: Pt 2 of the AllBuffs Basketball Roundtable.

After recovering from day one of the Buffs Basketball equivalent of the Yalta Conference (I'm playing the role of Churchill; festively drunk and constantly wearing a top hat), I'm back over at AllBuffs talking Puerto Rico, starting lineups, and bust out performers with the guys.

Join Goose, BuffNik, Tyler Ziskin, Zach Bell and myself for the second round of hoops discussion.  Be sure to mention how awesome that RumblinBuff guy is...

Quick-Post: AllBuffs Basketball Roundtable

All this week I'll be talking hoops with a Roundtable of basketball experts over at AllBuffs.  We're going to hit on a variety of topics, and we'll be at it each day this week.  If you're jacked for the basketball season, and if you read this blog you should be, then I strongly urge you to check it out.

I'm joined by AllBuffs mods Goose and Buffnik, Zach Bell from the Ralphie Report, and uber fan Tyler Ziskin.  You can check out the action from Day 1 at this link.

Big thanks to Goose for putting this together, and be sure to check out Allbuffs each day this week!
