Yep, I do these all the time. I'm also known around the house for saying, "man, do we need a stop here." At which point my wife says, "oh, thank you for explaining that to me."

When they called it the University of "Northern" Texas I decided that someone had not put much work into this report.

Don't have a good feel about who might win this one. I have noted that Day talks about momentum all the time, and Fleck does not believe in it. Different approaches...
