A for effort, but John Tyler was Young Hickory (had to look that up) to Andrew Jackson's Old Hickory (knew that one). Either way, well played!!!


Yes, I knew that too. Tyler served in war of 1812 (as did Jackson), and was politically opposed to Jackson. Houston served under Jackson. And Boehiem is an old perv like Tyler. And they're Playing Houston. ;)

John Tyler (who was our 10th President) was born in 1790 (the year after George Washington became the first president). One of his grandsons, Harrison Ruffin Tyler, is still living. Another one of John Tyler's grandson's died last year.


Holy ****. I didn't know that. I thought there was only one left and he died recently. Cool.

Weren’t the infractions under Sampson nickel and dime ********? Especially compared to what Roy, Self, K, etc get away with now? I don’t understand why we couldn’t at least kick the tires on him.

Is CBS really making money off these commercials? You'd think that spamming the same commercials over and over again would have diminishing returns. I think there's only been a total of about 8 commercials shown on the 54 games shown already.

Not with me. Whenever those stupid AT&T Commercials start, I switch channels.

Houston is in the Elite 8 for the first time since 1984

I saw the 1983-4 Houston Cougars in person @ LSU! Phi Slamma Jamma won 100-91. They were pretty good that year. ;)
