Happy New Year


(Photo: Fireworks at Navy Pier on Dec. 31. 2011: Brent Lewis/Chicago Tribune).

Following our recent trend of forgoing basketball commentary and publishing new posts exclusively on holidays (check out our last several posts -- they mark Christmas, Christmas Eve & Thanksgiving!), Drive and Dish wishes a happy New Year to all our readers and friends. Basketball commentary will likely return in the new future, but we won't be trying to keep up with all the other websites and blogs that hype up every crossover, dunk and loose ball foul from now until the NCAA Tournament and NBA Finals. Drive and Dish is a leaner and meaner operation than we were in our halcyon days of 2007 and 2008. We now have neither the personnel nor the time to cover college basketball and the NBA in a thorough manner. So we'll limit our output to occasions on which we have opinions which warrant new blog posts.

Apropos of our admission that since the economic crash of 2008, this blog has been running short on manpower and on time, it's probably worth noting that we've spent the last several months seeking the guidance of some of the most estimable public relations firms in the land (e.g., some of the most expensive PR firms in the land) to help us meet the challenge of mounting a comprehensive rebranding campaign in spite of our downsizing. After having taken in and deliberated over the combined wisdom of such esteemed PR pros (e.g., having blown through the stash set aside for our 2011 mortgage payments, car payments and utility bills), we've arrived at a new organizational motto: Quality over quantity.

So quality over quantity it is!

We may also upload the occasional DJ mix for all our readers and friends who keep asking us for new mixes (or for old ones that they've yet to hear).

Stay tuned...

Dude, you guys were way better in 2007 and 2008. Those were great years. The crash in October 08 really screwed everything up. Nothing's been the same since then. The economy sucks, the Bears suck, my life sucks, your blog sucks, etc..... If this is the "New Normal," then the "new Normal" officially suxx ass!!!!

I wish I could go back to the good old days from 2004-2008. Maybe I'm just romanticizing that time cuz thats when I graduated college ('04). But I really think everything was better back then. Oh well, I know I can't live in the past. Got to keep on keepin on, ya know.

Anyhoo, I offer the following toast.....here's to 2007 & 2008!!!! And here's to DRive and DisH getting back to being as good as it was in 2007 & 2008. Btw, here's a link to something that will take you back to those days. It blew up back in '07/08. Hope you enjoy!!!!

friggin a!!! Clown shoes Weber blows another one to Penn St. How do you freakin beat Ohio State then turn around and crap the bed against Penn State!?! i'm sick of watching Weberball. I'm sick of finishing in the bottom half of the B1G every friggin year. I'm sick of watching guys stand around and pass the ball around the perimeter for 35 seconds, then throw up a prayer at the end of the shot clock. I'm sick of guards who don't drive to the basket. I'm sick of bigs who don't score in the post. I'm sick of freakin white point guards. i'm sick of being on the bubble every year. I'm sick of watching Weber ruin talented players every year. I'm sick of having to listen to Weber throw his players under the bus after screwing the pooch against another B1G bottom feeder team.

Fire Weber. Hire Brad Stevens or Chaka Smart. Either that or promote Snacks Howard. Or at least promote Snacks to associate head coach if you hire Stevens or Smart.

Bring back the Chief!!!!!!!

Dude, I'm not gay. I'm just going thru a dry spell. Okay, so its a looong dry spell. But its just a dry spell.

Dear Mr. Idiot,

I will no longer tolerate your drivel on this website in which children are learning about basketball. You have seen my work in getting Dr. Rocks off the street and off this website. Now I will focus my attention on you.

You can give me your address here on this page and we will take you on a retreat to learn about breaking bad habits and having fun. I will even prepare some strawberry shortcake with some hot cocoa. That sounds like a hoot. If I do not see you clean up your act soon, I will call your mother! Now the ball is on your court.

Sincerely,

Sister Therese

Sister Therese said...

Dear Mark Buckets and T.S.,

I still do not understand why you allow the bad children like Mr. Idiot to continually post evil and sin on your website. I see you trying to spread the joy of Christmas which is a gift to us all.

You need to help the good children learn how to dribble a basketball. When will you put up an article on that and teach the children some good valuable team building lessons?

Sincerely,

Sister Therese

Holy effen carp!!!!! Fire Weber now!!!!! I've never seen anything like this. How does Weber lose at home to the North frekin Western Mildcats? Especially when the effen Mildcats are missing 2 starters from there lineup??? I'm at the point where I just don't care anymore. I mean, it's just not worth it. Bruce frekken Clown Shoes Weber just loses games year after year. When your team has more talent then anybody in the B1G, but you end up on Bubble every freakken year, you officially suck ass. I mean, BP43 and ML are NBA lottery picks, but Clown Shoes wont let those guys get out and run. Instead we get Weberball. We slow it down and grind it out, and play all ugly, and then we screw the pooch against total bottom feeders like PSU, Minny, and the Mild Cats. Fire Clown Shoes now!!!!!!

Fire Weber, hire a hot, young African American coach like Chaka Smart or Anthony Grant or Snacks Howard, and bring back the freakken Chief!!!!!!!!!!

He's young and African American and he's got a cool sounding name. He's suave and he's smooth and he dances during games. He's a coach that jumps up and down when his team hits threes. He's smart and he's emotional. Can we hire him please. His first name is Shaka and his last name is Smart. He's young, black and cool. And he's first in my heart. Fire brucie weber. Hire Shaka Smart. Bring back Chief Illiniwek!!!!!!!!!!
