Shameless plug here. We'll be live on the LockerRoomApp at 515 PT to talk about the coaching changes and other things. Also let's any of our listeners tuning in to "call-in" so jump in if you want to talk! Just follow me @bobbysworlds on the app and it'll let you know when the room goes live

Woke up this morning and saw korean on our front page and I had to do a double take to make sure I didn’t post something by mistake

it would annoy the shit out of the Aussie if I came home with a pair of knockoff Uggs. he still can't get over people wearing them outdoors in public. growing up in queensland i don't think his feet were ever cold, he went to class barefoot every day of his 2nd year at uni.

I would wear those boots

Me too. Look warm and cozy

And pair them with sweatpants that read JUICY across the ass

what kind of person would I be to have an ass like this and not share it with the world

Reminds me of high school, then when spring weather comes around Ugg boots with a mini skirt and North Face fleece . . . sure why not Moraga

I have to admit I did the Top Siders no socks in the winter for a little bit. /hangheadinshame

CDC directly addresses state mask mandate relaxations with a new report. To paraphrase, "hey dipshits, masks work and people will die because you want taxes/votes from the Cheesecake Factory crowds"

lockdown relaxations only make sense if you keep the mask mandate. Have these people not been paying attention for the past year or so???

If that's the biggest concern in or around college basketball, then college basketball has been magically transported into a very alternate alternate reality.

So, if he had used the word "reservation", would there have been the same fallout? Both are awful, but I do wonder......

North Dakota House of Reps booted a member for the first time. Apparently, Luke Simons (R) was a creepy dick. Vote reached the two-third threshold despite the body being 84% Republican.

I want to see how Rodgers' VC fund he set up with Newport Beach financier Byron Roth does. I was involved in several transactions with Byron several years back.

Roth Capital Partners is a hybrid VC fund/investment bank.
