Welcome to the final week of the common season for the Nevada basketball workforce. Most of this week’s Monday Twitter Mailbag questions centered on the Wolf Pack basketball workforce, so we’ll begin there (after a quick silver and gold dialogue). Thanks, as at all times, for the inquiries. Let’s get to the questions.
(Word: Should you’re not seeing the tweets, it is most likely since you’re not utilizing Google Chrome. Use Google Chrome.)
Silver goes for $18.75 per ounce. Gold goes for $1,661.35 per ounce. I am not losing my time on the lookout for silver when it’s 1.1 % as precious as gold.
I am going to handle your truly query earlier than posing one in all my very own: Is that this the perfect backcourt Nevada has ever had? It very nicely could possibly be. However first, we’ll speak Nisré Zouzoua, aka the man they name ScrizzMeister.
Zouzoua’s play principally received Saturday’s Fresno State recreation. The Wolf Pack is a special workforce when Zouzoua performs nicely. In Nevada’s 18 wins, Zouzoua is averaging 11.Eight factors, 2.2 rebounds and a pair of.1 assists per recreation on 46.6 % taking pictures, together with 44 % from three. In Nevada’s 10 losses, Zouzoua is averaging 6.Four factors, 1.7 rebounds and Zero.9 assists per recreation on 31.Four % taking pictures, together with 30 % from three. These are vastly completely different gamers. Good Zouzoua makes Nevada harmful within the Mountain West Match. Dangerous Zouzoua makes it troublesome to check a state of affairs the place Nevada reaches the NCAA Match. Total, Zouzoua has been a revelation. He is undoubtedly the MW’s sixth man of the yr. In MW video games, Zouzoua is averaging 10.Four factors, 2.5 rebounds and 1.Four assists per recreation whereas taking pictures 43.Eight % from the sphere, together with 41.2 % from three. In MW video games final season, Zouzoua averaged Zero.7 factors whereas taking pictures 15.Eight % from the sphere, together with 10 % from three. That change is drastic and speaks to the psychological toughness of Zouzoua, who was buried on Nevada’s bench final season and would not be on the roster if not for the offseason teaching change. Zouzoua is Nevada’s X issue come postseason.
As for the query I posed: Is that this Nevada’s finest backcourt ever? You realize what? Possibly.
If we contemplate the Wolf Pack backcourt to be Jalen Harris, Lindsey Drew, Jazz Johnson and Zouzoua, the Wolf Pack is getting a mean of 59 factors per recreation from these 4 (there’s an opportunity all common double-figures this season as Zouzoua is at 9.9 factors per recreation). It is an incredible backcourt and the explanation why the Wolf Pack is having the season it’s having as a result of the frontcourt is proscribed.
Let’s examine a number of backcourts by taking the highest 4 ball-handling guards on every roster:
2019-20 (Harris, Drew, Zouzoua, Johnson): 59 ppg, 12 apg, 18.Eight rpg, 7.9 tpg, Three.Eight spg, 44.2 FG%, 39.6 3PT%, 7.6 made 3s/recreation, 12.5 win shares
2018-19 (Martin, Martin, Johnson, Henson): 45 ppg, 9.9 apg, 12.Three rpg, Four.Eight tpg, Three.9 spg, 45.1 FG%, 36.Eight 3PT%, 6.7 made 3s/recreation, 16.Three win shares
2017-18 (Martin, Martin, Drew, Cooke): 45.7 ppg, 13.1 apg, 17.9 rpg, 5.6 tpg, Four.6 spg, 47.6 FG%, 40.5 3PT%, Four.7 made 3s/recreation, 16.1 win shares
2007-08 (Kemp, Johnson, Fields, Burleson): 46.6 ppg, 11.Four apg, 13 rpg, 7.Eight tpg, 2.Eight spg, 45.2 FG%, 37.Zero 3PT%, 5.Zero made 3s/recreation
2006-07 (Kemp, Periods, Shiloh, Fields): 42.5 ppg, 11.1 apg, 13.7 rpg, 7.6 tpg, Three.2 spg, 45.1 FG%, 36.Eight 3PT%, Four.6 made 3s/recreation
2003-04 (Snyder, Hill-Thomas, Okeson, Kemp): 44.Four ppg, 10.Four apg, 13.5 rpg, 7.6 tpg, Three.Eight spg, 42 FG%, 34.Eight 3PT%, Four.1 made 3s/recreation
2002-03 (Snyder, Inexperienced, Okeson, Hill-Thomas): 50.Four ppg, 7.Four apg, 18.5 rpg, 7.6 tpg, Three.9 spg, 43.Three FG%, 35.7 3PT%, Four.9 made 3s/recreation
I suppose it’s as much as every particular person to select their very own “finest backcourt,” however this yr’s workforce has been the best backcourt in Nevada’s historical past. Their 59 factors per recreation is nearly 10 factors higher than some other Wolf Pack backcourt. It’s second in assists among the many teams compiled above. It’s first in rebounds. It’s second in Three-point taking pictures and first in made threes per recreation. The 2003-04 and 2017-18 backcourts had been wonderful, too, and each of these groups reached the Candy 16, which this yr’s workforce will not do. Nevertheless it’s arduous to argue Nevada has had a greater backcourt than the one it’s placing on the ground this season.
Listed here are large-class state titles received by present 4A faculties in soccer, baseball and boys basketball.
1. Reno, 37 (19 in soccer, 13 in basketball, 5 in baseball)
2. Carson, 12 (5 in basketball, 4 in soccer, three in baseball)
Three. Wooster, 9 (eight in soccer, one in baseball)
Four. McQueen, 6 (six in soccer)
5t. Galena, 1 (one in basketball)
5t. Douglas, 1 (one in basketball)
7t. Damonte Ranch, North Valleys, Spanish Springs, Hug, Reed, Bishop Manogue
Some takeaways:
* Douglas received some 2A titles when there have been three classifications; its solely large-class title got here in 1925
* The Miners have received a number of lower-class titles in its historical past however no large-class championships
* I am stunned Reed has by no means received a state title in any of those sports activities given how lengthy it has been round
* And greater than half of Reno’s titles got here earlier than the coloured tv was invented.
As for query No. 2, Nevada would most likely be a 13 seed if it reached the NCAA Match through the Mountain West’s computerized berth.
Jalen Harris, though it’s odd how little is being written about him as a draft prospect proper now. He is not on ESPN or NBADraft.web’s high 100, and I have never seen him on any mock drafts. That simply reveals how below the radar he was coming into the season as a result of he is been legit when on the courtroom. But when Harris obtained into an NBA mix, his athleticism, basketball IQ, well-varied offensive recreation and defensive potential would present. Harris is also 25 months youthful than Merrill, which is an enormous deal for NBA groups. The MW’s high draft prospects for 2020, in accordance with the consultants, are San Diego State’s Malachi Flynn, Boise State’s Derrick Alston Jr. and Utah State’s Neemias Queta (all are eligible to return subsequent season), however I would guess on Harris being the perfect professional of present MW gamers.
Barely worse. Even when Jalen Harris returns, you are changing Lindsey Drew (arduous to overestimate his significance), Jazz Johnson (among the finest shooters within the nation and Nevada’s high perimeter defender, per the metrics), Nisré Zouzoua (potential sixth man of the yr within the Mountain West) and Johncarlos Reyes (Pack’s beginning middle). The Wolf Pack does have some good gamers in reserve in transfers Desmond Cambridge and Warren Washington and provides 5 highschool gamers, however that is numerous expertise to exchange. Coach Alford has talked typically this season concerning the inexperience of his roster, however it does have 4 keys seniors in Drew, Johnson, Zouzoua and Reyes along with a junior in Harris. Subsequent yr’s workforce will actually be younger. And as we famous on this piece, it will not be simple for Harris to repeat his manufacturing from this season even when he does return for his senior marketing campaign. He is nearly taking part in the perfect you may on the faculty stage.
As to your second query, I would try to get a two-way wing grad switch who can hit threes and defend a number of positions. Nevada needs to be high quality within the frontcourt with Warren Washington, Zane Meeks, Robby Robinson and DeAndre Henry. Between Jalen Harris, Kane Milling and Desmond Cambridge, the Wolf Pack shall be high quality with ball-handling guards. Including size and Three-point taking pictures means on the wing is essentially the most urgent want. Between Johnson, Drew and Zouzoua, you are shedding 171 made threes (and counting) at a 40.9 % clip. Including taking pictures needs to be the emphasis.
Not if Neemias Queta returns for his junior season. If that occurs, it should be Queta and Justin Bean, who’re each all-conference-caliber gamers. However Warren Washington and Zane Meeks are pairing whose strengths and weaknesses will play nicely collectively.
Whereas Coach Alford and his workers have achieved a superb job this season, there is not a case due to what Brian Dutcher has achieved at San Diego State. Dutcher needs to be the unanimous choose as MW coach of the yr. His workforce has dominated the convention and has spent the previous couple of weeks within the high 5 of the nationwide rankings after getting zero votes within the preseason AP High 25 ballot. I’d put Alford second on my poll if we voted for a number of coaches simply forward of Colorado State’s Niko Medved and UNLV’s T. J. Otzelberger.
Jalen Harris goes to be on the All-Mountain West first workforce and Nisré Zouzoua needs to be the MW’s sixth man of the yr. Jazz Johnson will make the all-conference workforce (most likely second workforce) whereas Lindsey Drew needs to be on the all-defensive workforce (I would argue for a spot on the All-MW third workforce). Zane Meeks can be into account for the All-MW freshman workforce, however the convention doesn’t have such a workforce. I nonetheless see Malachi Flynn as a lock to win the convention participant of the yr award, though I feel Harris will win MW newcomer of the yr though Flynn and Harris are each newcomers. I am guessing the coaches will need to honor each gamers.
It might be shut. San Diego State is clearly in it doesn’t matter what, and Nevada would get the automated bid in your instance. The query is whether or not Utah State can be in. The Aggies, assuming they win out the common season, can be 26-Eight and have wins over LSU and Florida, that are massive. However Utah State additionally can be 2-Four in Quad 1 video games and 2-Three in Quad 2 video games (whereas going 20-1 in Quad Three and Four video games, together with 12-Zero in Quad 4s). The Aggies are a bit mild on high quality wins, so it would be on the bubble for certain. The Aggies are presently in “Final 4 In” territory, in order that they’d a lot desire a MW title recreation loss come to San Diego State. My man tells me Utah State would make it in and provides the MW three NCAA Match groups because of the wins over these SEC faculties, however it’d be a coin flip.
San Diego State had its worst offensive outing of the season. The Aztecs scored a season-low 94 factors per 100 possessions and had its seventh-worst defensive evening of the season. SDSU had a horrible taking pictures recreation, making simply Eight-of-27 Three-pointers (29.6 %), and no one aside from Malachi Flynn performed nicely, and Flynn was made to be inefficient (he was 7-of-19 from the sphere, however did tally 24 factors, 9 rebounds and 6 assists). SDSU obtained nothing from its bench (4 factors and 5 rebounds in 40 minutes). Credit score UNLV for forcing a few of these points, and the Rebels appear to match up nicely with the Aztecs (UNLV solely misplaced by 4 to SDSU at Thomas & Mack). Even the perfect groups have a nasty recreation or two over the season (see the Wolf Pack’s no present at New Mexico final yr), and SDSU simply had its dangerous recreation.
As for half two of your query, six groups are able to profitable the MW Match if every little thing breaks proper (SDSU, Utah State, Nevada, Colorado State, Boise State, UNLV). SDSU continues to be the clear favourite and Utah State is the second-best workforce within the convention. The opposite 4 are principally the identical and separated by 5 factors or much less when it comes to high quality. SDSU’s protection has quietly slipped during the last month. The Aztecs are permitting 98.Four factors per 100 possessions in its final eight video games after holding groups to 89.5 factors per 100 possessions in video games prior. That has made SDSU extra susceptible, however the Aztecs are nonetheless the heavy favourite to win the convention match.
I’d not draw a correlation between San Diego State elevating its regular-season banner and the Aztecs shedding to UNLV. I do not assume the banner triggered SDSU to neglect methods to shoot Three-pointers. Nor do I feel the Aztecs shall be cursed for the remainder of the season. By way of upsetting SDSU within the convention match, I would go:
1. UNLV (the Rebels have overwhelmed the Aztecs, nearly doing so twice)
2. Utah State (the Aggies are the second-best workforce within the convention)
Three. Nevada (the Wolf Pack can get scorching from three)
That is it. Boise State has misplaced to SDSU by 17 and 18 factors. Colorado State misplaced to SDSU by 22 factors of their lone matchup to this point (they play once more Tuesday).
In your first state of affairs, Boise State would have the tiebreaker over Nevada as a result of the groups went 1-1 face to face however the Broncos have the perfect win (over Utah State), so they might get the third seed. Should you reversed Nevada’s predicted outcomes — a loss to Wyoming and win over San Diego State — the Wolf Pack would win a tiebreaker towards the Broncos as a result of it might then have the perfect win (over San Diego State). Nevada may mathematically end wherever from second to sixth within the convention match seeding, though it’d take a miracle for Nevada to be the sixth seed. The probably final result after Boise State and UNLV received final weekend is the fourth seed for the Wolf Pack. Nevada will most likely have to beat SDSU to get the third seed.
Nevada would undoubtedly save that victory for a possible matchup within the convention match. Whereas a win over the Aztecs within the regular-season finale can be enjoyable, it would not imply a ton on the macro stage. A win over SDSU within the convention match may imply a fourth straight NCAA Match look.
I am guessing it is a reference to me writing UNLV’s 6-1 begin to Mountain West play had the texture of “idiot’s gold” given its gentle schedule. Properly, the Rebels misplaced 4 straight video games and 5 of six after I wrote that, the lone win being a fortunate financial institution shot on the buzzer to beat Fresno State at dwelling. So, I am fairly certain my “idiot’s gold” description was spot on. However credit score UNLV for pulling out of that tailspin with three straight wins, together with the victory at San Diego State. The Rebels are 6-14 in Quad 1, 2 or Three video games, so I nonetheless do not put a lot weight into the Rebels being a practical choice of profitable the MW Match. However UNLV has overwhelmed SDSU and Utah State, the 2 finest groups within the league, so it needs to be assured heading into the convention match, which it’s going to once more host (not that that has helped up to now). I’d choose Nevada to beat UNLV in the event that they matched up once more. The Wolf Pack has the higher workforce by about 5 factors, so clearly both may win a matchup. The hole between the 2 is not big.
Fascinating query. I am going to go together with Deonte Burton, who turned down gives from UCLA and Cincinnati to play for Nevada. You by no means know the way issues would have turned out if he performed for UCLA. Plenty of instances gifted gamers who thrive on the mid-major stage would have been buried on the bench at a Energy 5 faculty. That simply may have occurred to Burton at UCLA, who had future NBA gamers Malcolm Lee, Larry Drew III, Kyle Anderson, Norman Powell, Zach LaVine and Jordan Adams at guard when Burton would have been taking part in for them. However an even bigger platform with extra expertise round him may have given Burton a greater likelihood at touchdown within the NBA (he is presently in his G League). Enjoyable Truth: Steve Alford would have coached Burton’s last season at UCLA if Deonte would have been a Bruin.
Right here is that story in case anyone missed it. I am stunned Josh Corridor hasn’t had extra success at Missouri State. However he’ll at all times have the 2018 NCAA Match. So far as his switch is anxious, it was extra about his tutorial standing and a scholarship crunch. When Jordan Brown signed with Nevada and the Martin twins withdrew from the NBA draft, the Wolf Pack was at 15 scholarships, two above the NCAA restrict, which pushed Ehab Amin and Corridor out the door.
The NIT is principally a cash-neutral match. You are not going to make (or lose) budget-altering quantities of cash in that match. It’s the third-tier tournaments just like the CBI and CIT (we miss you Vegas 16!) the place you are taking extra monetary danger but additionally could make some huge cash in case you go on the deep run. In Nevada’s 2016 CBI run, the Wolf Pack made $650,00Zero in income, however almost half of that was sliced off ($305,00Zero) to host 5 of the six video games within the match. The Wolf Pack reported a revenue of about $200,00Zero from that CBI, partly as a result of it chartered a flight to Morehead State within the championship sequence, which reduce into the revenue. Groups that play within the CBI take calculated dangers that its followers will help the workforce. In 2016, Nevada needed to pay the CBI $40,00Zero for every of its first two match video games and $75,00Zero for every of the final three. So you should promote a good quantity of tickets to interrupt even, and I am unsure the place Wolf Pack followers’ curiosity can be for a CBI this season after three straight NCAA tournaments. My guess is Nevada would try to host CBI video games if it does not make the NIT.
If the typical home-court benefit is three factors (that is usually what betting strains grant the house workforce), Nevada most likely will get 4 factors as a bonus, which is to say it is an above-average edge, however it doesn’t win or lose the Wolf Pack video games. Final yr was completely different. Final yr was particular. Nevada averaged 10,878 followers per dwelling recreation final season (94.Three %) and had a packed scholar part for each recreation. This season, Nevada is averaging Eight,569 followers per dwelling recreation (74.2 %) and out of doors of the UNLV recreation, the coed part has been comparatively sparse. (And the coed part accounts for a lot of the ambiance and noise at Lawlor). That Eight,569 determine continues to be good. It ranks 57th within the nation and fourth within the MW (the Wolf Pack ranks 157th within the nation in % capability), however it’s not close to the extent of intimidation or noise provided final season. Saturday’s San Diego State recreation, nonetheless, ought to method that.
They’re going to nonetheless be taking part in that factor when Cameron Oliver, Jordan Caroline and Marqueze Coleman’s sons are taking part in for the Wolf Pack.
That is what the Monday Mailbag is for. We are able to nonetheless chat about Nevada basketball nicely after the season ends. Nevertheless it has been a quick yr. A school basketball season lasts 5 months and we solely have two assured weeks left. Maybe it is as a result of the convention match is per week sooner than years previous that issues appear to be going sooner than regular, however the season has flown by.
Relies on whether or not he is provided a head-coaching job. Whereas not a rousing success at New Mexico, Coach Neal did a stable job in his 4 seasons because the Lobos’ head coach (76-52 general, 42-30 within the MW, one championship, one NCAA Match), so I may see him getting one other supply regardless of being a bit up there in age (56). My guess is he sticks with Coach Alford. He is making fairly good cash at Nevada ($270,00Zero a yr) and does not have all the complications of being a head coach.
Coach Polian twice interviewed for the Bowling Inexperienced job final offseason and was a finalist for the place that went to Boston Faculty offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler, so he is been within the combine since Nevada fired him after the 2016 marketing campaign. Like Neal, Polian did a ok job with the Wolf Pack (23-27 general, 14-18 MW, two bowls, wonderful APRs) to consider he may get one other head-coaching job. I would not be shocked both manner. His pedigree definitely helps his case, however it’s fairly uncommon to see particular groups coordinators employed as head coaches. Sometimes, it’s important to be an offensive or defensive coordinator. However Polian is simply 45, so he may get one other likelihood. I would wish to see it occur to see how a lot he is grown as a coach since his Wolf Pack stint. Nevada is not the best job, so I would wish to see what he may put collectively at a extra resourced faculty.
Odds are it does not occur. Odds are Nevada and Arkansas each aren’t within the NIT (the Razorbacks could possibly be within the NCAA Match and Nevada could possibly be within the CBI). Odds are even when each do make the NIT they will not face one another. However there is definitely an opportunity it occurs. It is most likely round 5 %, however that’d be a juicy matchup, and I am certain the occasion organizers know that. And I’d guess Coach Musselman would put on the identical outfit he wore when he saved the Wolf Pack’s floundering basketball program, which implies a polo. A reminder Musselman’s groups have received 4 of the seven MW titles in Nevada’s historical past. And he did all of it carrying a polo. Superb.
Tyson Fury’s win may find yourself making him $138 million within the subsequent 12 months on prize cash alone. David Ayres, who helped the Hurricanes defeat Toronto as an emergency goalie, made $500 and will get to maintain the jersey together with his identify on it. Edge Fury.
Whereas I don’t envy individuals who have melancholy and drug dependancy like Tyson Fury, it doesn’t absolve him from his lengthy historical past of homophobic, sexist and anti-Semitic feedback. Dude mentioned he would cling his sister if he deemed her promiscuous whereas including “a lady’s finest place is within the kitchen and on her again.” He is likened homosexuality to pedophilia and mentioned the legalization of abortion and homosexuality to 2 of “three issues that have to be achieved earlier than the satan comes dwelling.” He is in contrast the existence of transgender individuals to bestiality. LGB youth critically ponder suicide at nearly thrice the speed of heterosexual youth. LGB youth are nearly 5 instances as more likely to have tried suicide in comparison with heterosexual youth. That is partly due to individuals like Fury, who phrases and hatred impression the individuals they communicate of. So, no, Fury doesn’t get a cross for his idiotic feedback.
The lack of Jeff Casteel can have a bigger impression on Nevada than the lack of Angus McClure as a result of he was a coordinator and a change there has extra of an impression than a change with a place coach. The Wolf Pack has to be taught a brand new defensive scheme for 2020, and whereas there’ll certainly be some overlap, there additionally goes to be numerous new ideas the gamers should be taught. New coordinator Brian Ward inherits seven returning starters, in order that’s a good quantity of expertise. The Wolf Pack offensive line, which McClure coached, needs to be used to modifications. Nevada has had eight offensive line coach within the final 12 seasons.
We are able to break down the starters when spring camp begins, however the gamers to look at embrace:
* QB Carson Sturdy (no extra quarterback roulette for the Wolf Pack)
* WR Elijah Cooks (he ended the season taking part in at an elite stage)
* WR Romeo Doubs (his potential is huge if he can keep wholesome)
* RB Devonte Lee (can he overtake Toa Taua for the beginning job?)
* DE Dom Peterson (he was the workforce’s finest participant final yr)
* LB Lawson Corridor (he could possibly be in line for a 100-tackle season)
* DB Tyson Williams (would not be stunned if he was All-MW in 2020)
* Ok Brandon Talton (can he repeat his 2019 success?)
It must be a coincidence. I do not assume Nevada will exit of its strategy to keep away from scheduling a house recreation on air races weekend to try to juice attendance. It is arduous sufficient to schedule with out taking one thing like that into consideration.
I am going to go Luke Babbitt, simply because I knew of him when he was a highschool freshman and obtained to trace and canopy his arc from highschool to school to the NBA, which is fairly uncommon. He additionally is an efficient man and was an outstanding faculty basketball participant. It is too dangerous his particular person success at Nevada was not matched with as a lot workforce success as we have seen in latest seasons, however he was a singular expertise. It is superb to assume Northern Nevada had two highschool youngsters in Babbitt and Armon Johnson who performed collectively at Nevada and on the identical workforce within the NBA after being drafted in the identical class. That can by no means occur once more.
Why would a neighborhood radio station broadcast Double-A baseball video games?
Primarily, I anticipate each to win World Collection championships with the Dodgers this season. Gavin Lux will most likely slash round .270/.330/.460 with 15 homers and 10 steals and above-average protection at second base. That is a 2.5-Three WAR participant. Dustin Might will most likely begin the season in Triple-A earlier than being transitioned onto the major-league roster when accidents or load administration requires it. I am going to peg Might for a Four.00 ERA in 100 big-league innings. He does not strike out as many batters as you need for that a lot arm expertise, and it takes some time to interrupt into the majors as a starter, however each have All-Star potential over the lengthy haul.
Elko must be relocated about 285 miles southwest of its present location. The Wolf Pack is not bussing a workforce 9 hours round-trip to Elko for a apply or exhibition, though it’s a cool concept. The furthest Nevada has gone lately for a apply is Minden for a soccer scrimmage below Brian Polian. Maybe the Wolf Pack may stretch to Fallon, however that is so far as I can see Nevada going.
No, I’ve not. I did flip down a job at Nevada Journal again within the day, so an alternate path in my profession may have had me writing concerning the Silver State’s historical past. I minored in U.S. historical past at UNR and did write about historic Nevada a few instances for sophistication papers, however that was typically nonetheless tied to sports activities (for instance, the 1910 struggle between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries).
“A lie can journey half manner all over the world whereas the reality is placing on its footwear.” (Which explains why many Wolf Pack followers are so fallacious about “what ruined the workforce’s 2019-20 season”)
“The concern of demise follows from the concern of life. A person who lives absolutely is ready to die at any time.” (Acceptable on the day Kobe Bryant’s life is widely known)
“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” (We want extra of this in our world)
“Of all of the animals, man is the one one that’s merciless. He’s the one one which inflicts ache for the pleasure of doing it.” (Properly, we’re killing the planet, in spite of everything)
“By no means argue with silly individuals, they’ll drag you all the way down to their stage after which beat you with expertise.” (That is principally what Twitter was invented for)
“The 2 most vital days in your life are the day you might be born and the day you discover out why.” (Rattling! Twain had numerous good quotes!)
“It’s not the scale of the canine within the struggle, it’s the scale of the struggle within the canine.” (And since I am getting these quotes from the Web, I don’t know if they really got here from Mark Twain or not; numerous liars on the Web)
We didn’t see any ghosts, and I’ve by no means seen a ghost earlier than. I do not consider in ghosts.
I’ve. I bear in mind going as a bit child after which once more in maturity. On our journey to Virginia Metropolis this week, we noticed a donkey and feed it some carrots. Not fairly a camel, however enjoyable nonetheless.
I’ve by no means been to that pageant. Rocky Mountain Oysters are bull testicles, proper? I am not fascinated about placing bull testicles in my mouth. See y’all subsequent week (sans bull testicles in my mouth).
