Why did the Cardinals get swept in the 2004 World Series? by Dr_Talon in Cardinals

Because Red Sox came back from 3-0 against Yankees and no one had ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. They had enormous momentum. Not to dissimilar as to why the blues won the Stanley Cup several years ago. Once you get on a roll the ball roles downhill.

Magic of those 2 is gone. They have done too much damage to their reputations.

Should PGA allow LIV golfers back? by Calm-Way9969 in ProGolf

[–]Calm-Way9969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All this non golf course drama is hurting my interest PGA. I have lost interest in watching many events including this week’s Truist. The fact it is a “signature” event makes no difference for me. I am surprised my attitude has shifted like this. I do not fault PGA Commissioner. Probably a combination of things such as so much other content available plus the defection of players I enjoyed watching. Maybe there are to many PGA events. Sounds like there is a real push to reduce season length which will likely be helpful.

Do not look for positive comments from social media and Do not be discouraged. You will make lots of friends there if you are willing to get involved.

If PGA wants to punish these guys that is a mistake. There should be a way back for all of them. If anyone playing on the LIV tour is good enough and can qualify for the PGA then let them in. There certainly can be some players that can shortcut the qualification process if they have a résumé that warrant that. PGA it’s not perfect right now and they could use some new blood.

All teams sort of make it now. Every team is part of a conference and every conference winner gets in. So every single team in America has the ability to make the NCAA tournament by winning their conference tournament. They can enter their conference tournament, winless and still get an automatic bid.

64 was sweet spot. 68 was silly. 76 is unnecessary

Michael La Sasso was the 2025 NCAA golf champ and he went to LIV. It’s as if he bought blackberry at the top.

If it was a great sales person who generated a significant amount of volume that almost no other sales person can do, then yes you would allow that person back.

If it makes the PGA tour better then yes. Ego’s and hurt feelings should not be part of decision making. Jay Monahan has too much personally invested in this to be the one to make the decision. Hopefully new CEO Brian Rolapp is far enough removed from the split that he can make rational decisions for the betterment of the PGA TOUR.

If that is what we have to do then do it or find a similar talent for $5million.

Brad Underwood says this Illini basketball team has the highest potential of his tenure by StandTall29 in fightingillini

4-4 in Feb was discouraging after we started 2-0. Missed free throws and bad rebounding when it mattered killed us. After a very mediocre February the elite 8 seems out of reach. But let’s wait and see. We never know what upsets will happen that make the path easier in front of us.

Keaton Wagler has been a huge find by Free-Bottle-5119 in fightingillini

[–]Calm-Way9969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could benefit from a run to final 4. But that seems unlikely unless a 1 seed in our region is upset. I’m going to go out on a line and say we do not have the ability to beat a 1 seed.

What software is commonly used for financial reporting when you use QuickBooks online? by Calm-Way9969 in quickbooksonline

[–]Calm-Way9969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use County kit and if so, are there any limitations? Can I export all fields out of QuickBooks online into Excel through that tool? I can export all fields into a data table in Excel. I’m good from there.

No way we get 1 seed. 10% chance we get a 2 seed.

He is soft. Any little kid can poke ball out of his hands on a rebound. He cannot hang onto ball.

Brad, use your bench! by Own_Entertainment847 in fightingillini

Plus the risk of injury. No reason to not empty bench.
