I told her to hold on, assuming she didn't know the tax refund just hit her account, knowing that the account balance should cover the full cost of this dress. When I saw she just spent $113 on something, I asked what it was, she said the sandals. Am I reading this correctly: you have online access to 17yo's account? Yes. Both 17YO and 16YO have student checking accounts at my bank.

...:::"I'm guessing their justification for that is while your only 'bad' loss was to Florida, who didn't make the Dance, you lost twice to a #2 seed (Oklahoma) before beating them in the conference tournament, and twice to a #6 seed (texas). I guess that equals a #3 seed?":::... Zuh?

Someone said, "WVU has no offense, they score off turning people over, if forced to play a half-court game, they're done."
How do you respond to that?

Lots of their points do come off turnovers and offensive rebounds. Defense and pressing is the key to their success. They kept the ball away from Heild in game 3 and finally beat Oklahoma. I think it's more accurate to say you keep us out of the paint and we are done. We don't have shooters like in the Beilein days. The days of Pittsnogle, Gansy and company draining 3s all day long are over. And God knows they can't make free throws besides Devin Williams.

I remember Pissnogle. Epic tats to match his basketball skills.
Well, Vanderbilt went out today and completely embarrassed the SEC.
I wouldn't be surprised to see both Vandy and LSU looking for new head coaches soon.

If I recall this thread correctly it is about shoes that were torn up by a dog......it is not about March Madness and basketball.
Let's get this back to the shoes and someone can start a thread in another area where basketball and the tournament is the topic.

YM threads sometimes go off-topic, as I am sure you are aware.
Since this is a civil discussion, I don't see the need to play thread police.

Actually, she is the thread police. The shoe topic has run its course and it'd be nice to start a march madness thread so those interested could post.

A dedicated thread would certainly give the topic more prominence, but I don't see the harm in a little side track before we wait for our next shoe update.

Plus for those who like to discuss march madness but have blocked certain poster, it gives them a chance to discuss something of interest to them. Why don't you start a MM thread?

I don't see why this thread going slightly off for like 5-6 posts is any different than any other thread that does that WITHOUT mod comment. I think it has more to do with who the OP is and less to do with the fact that there was a slight tangent.

Why should something as important as March Madness be tucked into some thread about a f***ing dog, its stupid owners, and some crappy shoes?

I'm still wrapping my head around $100+ sandals.
I think I have maybe 1 or 2 pairs of shoes that cost that much. I like shoes. I want to see a picture of these sandals.

Dear Heavens...the things some mods get up in arms about and the things they let go is just amazing to me. Is the OP complaining? If not, less is more.

I suppose we've all done that on occasion. It's probably a "glass house" type of thing.

How much do professional sports people pay for their shoes? I bet they don't leave them out for the puppy!

I just bought a $200 pair of wedges. I'm prepared to be burned at the stake. And then a $100 pair of snakeskin flats fell in my cart with them.
Bring your torches to the bonfire!!!

If you're talking about their game shoes they either get them for free or get paid to wear them. Willing to bet if they asked for a dozen pair for the puppy to chew on they'd get them. Next day air.
This is college though. They probably only get a couple pair for free. Unless they need more....

OK, I found the invitations. Do we have to roast the shoes, Pants, or can we stick to food that tastes good roasted by flames?
