I much prefer Grippos to Cheetos.

Is that a local brand?

Googled it. Chip company out of Cinci. Never seen it/heard of it before. Founder invented the "loop pretzel".

If I ever see any on my travels I'm going to get some.

Cinncy has some unique food such as the Skyline Chilli....I just discovered "Old Dutch" potoato chips a while back...talk about good!

Bradley leads MSU 35-25 at the half

[COUTEAU]

NO DOUBT!
Used to go up to Cincinnati often, back in the late 90's and early 2000's
Would go to Normandie for cocktails, early afternnon, leaving my share of peanuts shells on the floor. Then, up to la Maisonette for dinner.
Was nice having an expense account, in those days...hehehe
Last time I was there, in late '09, they were both closed.
But, can definitely put on the feed bag, in Cinncy, specially if you like German food!

It's an Indiana thing. I've heard you can transcend into GodOdumGod by putting bits of steel in your chips.

[UE-grad]

The current Kroger Bar-b-que chips are close to the Grippos flavor. Nothing beats the spicy stale taste of Grippos (they're not really stale).

I'd hate to know how many boxes we went through at the fraternity house.

Back on subject, not sure what has gotten into Marty, but starting two bigs (even though Moore hasn't done well) and playing EVERYONE who dressed has helped. He even ran a play for Stafford to shoot a three inthe second half (which he hit).

Needed more Benzon in the second half today, Blake was way to slow and kept getting blown by.

[sixth ace]

Injuries to Wing and Mislav opened the bench up. Wing was not quite ready when Mislav broke his hand.It forced Marty to play Moore and Giddy. Sometime injuries result in good things happening. It forced him to realign his substitution pattern and got Benzon in for Blake ,not just DJ. That being said, I think Marty has revamp the system and it is producing W's

[Wufan]

The Braves hold off the Bears to win by 2. I didn't see the game but noticed that MSU was 11-20 from the line.

[pafan]

And the Braves couldn't keep the ball in bounds. I think they literally stepped on the boundaries on three straight possessions with under a minute.

[glm38]

decent effort by the Bears but bottom line is we've lost 6 in a row. We really suck.

[uniftw]

Yeah, I would think that four DI college basketball coaches would know far less about anything relating to the motivation of student athletes to perform to their maximum potential, than the couch potato, cheeto munchers that post comments in here.

Maybe someday he'll motivate his team to not suck...or finish over .500 in conference more than once every 7 or 8 years...

If what he puts on the court is getting the max out of his players he should be fired for that being the best that he can get.
