Our 20 point half time lead immediately shrunk to 12, then 8 ... eventually 4, before we lengthened it back out a bit; I can only assume that the fact that I began watching had some effect on the game .... so again, my apologies.

I have no idea what a Stella Artois is, but if it took you an hour to drink one, you shoulda ordered a small.

Nigel, I hope you can start catching them from the start. It would make it less anxious for the rest of us. I do appreciate the effort to see the Tigers though.

Stella Artois is a Belgian Beer, it is light without being whimpy (IMO) ... as for the time frame, the speed of my drinking had no bearing on things ... I left my house after the game had started and I realized there would be no live stream, 10 minutes to the bar ... a few minutes for them to start to try to find the game ... many more minutes for them to let me know that they couldn't get it ... a minute or two more to pay my tab ... before you know it, it's half time.

It's Belgian, that's marginally better than French I suppose.

We outrebounded ECU 38 to 22 tonight. It is a good sign after giving up too many rebounds to UTK and Loyola MD.

Stella Artois is imported and distributed by Anheuser-Busch. If you tour their brewery in St. Louis, Stella Artois is one of the beers available that you can taste for free at the end of the tour.
