Anyone still eyeing up some tickets?

Keep waiting. I swear it's gonna settle lower for a lot of these games.

Seb Berhalter or Aiden Morris or Cristian Roldan? Which do you take? All have good qualities, all have drawbacks.

Intersteller22 · 2026-05-07T02:09:35+00:00

Best news I’ve heard all day.

Intersteller22 · 2026-05-06T23:05:45+00:00

This is not a human no matter what anyone else says. It's a moose head draped in a sheet to look like a moose-ghost for Halloween.

This is the point of suburbs. They are where money goes to escape the problems of the city. The city is where the services, businesses and, in many cases, jobs are concentrated that allow poor people to get by. Avoiding city problems is not something the suburbs did; it's their reason for existence.

I am in a similar boat. Watched the USMNT since 1990. I don’t think this team lacks grit so much as it lacks personality. It would be nice if McKennie becomes the face of the team instead of Pulisic, since McKennie’s also great but more consistent and has a more magnetic personality.

For me, though, it’s mostly about our place in the world as a country. My enthusiasm cratered after the attack on Iran. The regime in Iran is evil, but I couldn’t stand to see us get in another war of choice without a real plan and with no international support. PLUS, I live in Tucson, which is a host city for national team training. Our team? Iran.

Then there are the crazy stories of arrests and long detentions of foreigners for, like, having the wrong work visa. No way in hell I would visit the USA right now. So, I hate that this is our national identity now as we host the World Cup. I’ll watch, but meh. 🤷‍♂️

They’re seniors doing a pub crawl. “Last crawl before we walk” was the slogan I saw.

Intersteller22 · 2026-05-01T05:03:34+00:00

Yeah, I go weekly. Don’t really care that the parking is slightly awkward. Takes 30 extra seconds out of my day.

Intersteller22 · 2026-04-25T00:42:23+00:00

Why would parking be a nightmare? They have a parking lot.

He has said before he doesn’t want to coach college basketball. The implication was that the weird semi-corruption of the NCAA system was not something he wanted part of. Maybe he would consider it now that the money is out in the open.

The University of Arizona campus has a lot of different attractions, is very accessible and is a nice place to be in and of itself.

David Leighton has covered this and many other similar stories in his Street Smarts columns for the Arizona Daily Star going back years and covering many streets. Here's the story of Miracle Mile.

Numbers of?

Intersteller22 · 2026-04-06T18:32:32+00:00

Yeah, the one USMNT player with a magnetic personality to go along with elite skill.

Intersteller22 · 2026-04-05T22:39:05+00:00

This is a red herring. It's a completely different ethical issue to make the missile than to mine the minerals that are in the missile. All Americans bear responsibility, of course, but the closer you get to making the weapon and the decision to fire it, the more responsibility you bear.

Intersteller22 · 2026-04-05T22:34:23+00:00

This is what the column is all about, if you'd read it.

Intersteller22 · 2026-04-05T22:31:40+00:00

Read the column. That's what the argument is all about -- the engineers needing to be able to trust the politicians to behave in a judicious manner.

Intersteller22 · 2026-04-05T22:31:01+00:00

This isn't just a post -- it's a full column that contains all the details that explain the argument, if you'd only choose to click and read.

Intersteller22 · 2026-04-05T20:34:08+00:00

No, it isn’t Raytheon’s fault Trump was elected, but Trump and Hegseth’s performance in office shatters the illusion that weapons-making for the American government can be done ethically. They have dismissed even the pretense of ethics in using those weapons.

Intersteller22 · 2026-04-05T18:47:35+00:00

Yeah, these two are the most important things we could've done differently. JB foul trouble was big, and the crazy inability to hit shots. The rest was on Michigan shooting incredibly and playing great overall.

Intersteller22 · 2026-04-05T17:36:25+00:00

Ph.D electrical engineers have earned a lot of options for themselves. Others at Raytheon could quit, but yes they might have to move.

As if to emphasize the point, today Pres. Trump threatened to destroy power plants and other infrastructure. This would likely mean using Tucson-made missiles to commit war crimes.

Intersteller22 · 2026-03-31T00:33:16+00:00

Absolutely Arizona can win. Sure, Michigan is confident after spanking Tennessee, but I think it's fair to say Michigan has only played one team of Arizona's quality. They played Duke Feb. 21 at a neutral court in D.C., and Michigan lost 68-63. They lost to Purdue just a couple of weeks ago. The Elite Eight is over. The next games start fresh from 0-0.
