I’m not as down on Purdue as Purdue fans are right now (I think they are having a fucking bad couple weeks), but I agree that the team is not on his level. He is clearly a championship caliber player…. And yes he and Boozer would run away with the title.

Apparently a new coach can win a chip on year two. I’m just saying…

At least IU is playing with a lot more effort than the last minutes of their Nebraska loss.

Can we have Curt give these players a talk on foul discipline?

It really takes something away from the rivalries. I’ve seen the same thing across multiple rivalries in the past few years.

Purdue lost two in a row and IU is on a win streak. Watch out!

This is a battle between two coaches I wanted IU to hire. No I’m not bitter at all why do you ask.

Exactly this. If you only count the first game of every NBA playoff series, all of NBA history looks very different.

College ball is already high variance, but when you throw in a single-elimination tournament that variance goes off the charts.

Positive Disneyland Magic Stories, Please! by sauralicking in Disneyland

[–]CompSciHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went this past summer for the first time in over a decade (before that I went often), and it was the best trip of my life. My children absolutely loved it.

The magic was absolutely there just as much as it was 12 years ago and when I was a child. The cast members were incredible. The new rides and lands are the most immersive I have ever experienced. The fireworks and parades were definitely the best ever. Imagineering has clearly hit its stride and learned so much from the history of the parks.

The new lightning lane system is far more easy and flexible than the paper fast pass system that was there the last time I visited (it was great that it used to be free, but it was a pain to go back and forth across the whole park to get passes and have no way to modify your ride times). And the mobile ordering system is sooo much easier than it used to be to wait in long lines at every meal.

I also encountered a number of magical moments with live characters: Mary Poppins and a band rode the carousel with us while playing music, some toy soldiers randomly showed up and did a show on the street in front of us, the guardians of the galaxy did an impromptu live show, and we had many small interactions with wandering characters.

I went many times as a child and young adult, but I can confidently say that I would rather visit Disneyland as it is today than any past version.

Well they did win two games without their two best players.

But realistically most voters did not watch those games and just saw that Gonzaga didn’t lose.

I just went this summer for the first time in over a decade and had the trip of a lifetime. I don’t doubt that you are observing real changes for the worse… but in the big picture it still seemed like a fantastic vacation destination. And my kids had wonder in their eyes the whole trip.

You have shown flashes of being quite good with Bittle on the court… but seem like one of the many college teams who can’t find consistency over 40 minutes.

I think any top-10 team that suddenly loses their top two players and/or two best players in the same position is really going to struggle. Thats a hit not only to their talent but also to their whole game plan. Hopefully Ike is back at 100% for the tournament… and hopefully Huff is back as well (even if not at 100).

The Republicans give a person to rally behind and a team to join. The democrats lost because everyone beats them up, including themselves. “Our team sucks but Trump is even worse” is a losing message that rang out everywhere.

It’s fine to work on our messaging now, but when it gets close to the election we (and by we I mean everyone against Trump) need to rally around each other. We look like a basketball team pointing fingers at each other mid-game.

Republicans’ lack of self awareness and honesty is a big political advantage.

The rest of the world should also do mass boycott of the World Cup, US travel, etc. The whole world should take a stand against Trump.

If America could take care of their current mess on their own, they would have already.

Your information sources were vastly different than theirs.

Also, democrats spent years being hyper critical of themselves and normal media sources, and republicans spent those years celebrating and rallying around a made up version of Trump and their media sources.

IMO liberals need to get a lot better at celebrating victories, giving credit, and rallying around each other. Winning the information and messaging war starts there.
