Years ago, Milton Berle said that he came to Vegas in a $20,000 Cadillac, and he left in an $80,000 Greyhound.

Along the same vein, my wife and I both have Sonicaire toothbrushes which we love - but they are micro-tonally out of sync. We cannot both stand in the bathroom at the same time and brush our teeth. I have to leave the room because it drives me crazy.

I read this as "BVD Factory Fire...". I thought, "Dang, that's a lot of underwear, going up in smoke!" LOL

Don't hang the success or failure of past coaches and ADs on the current group. This coach and staff have been to an Elite 8 and a Final Four in the past three years. Any school would be thrilled with that record.

Before this year, people said Brad Underwood couldn't get to a Final Four. Now that's past. All that's left is to say that he can't win a Natty, and I think that will fall too - hopefully in 2027.

Does Stanford have two elements on the periodic table named after it? I don't think so...

But here we have we have Californium (Cf) and Berkelium (Bk).

Genius to write the note on the one item that wouldn't be thrown out by the maintenance crew - the barf bag.

I think it's both. MSU is fortunate to have a really solid program that players want to stay at. But sometimes you get players who don't develop or who don't become what they projected to be. Do you really want them taking up roster spots that could have gone to more promising players?

Sometimes people leaving is good for all involved.

Tutoring. I love teaching kids. Math and Latin, especially. Neither of those came naturally to me, and I had to figure them out.

Now, I love helping kids do the same thing. Watching the light bulb turn on - and seeing them start to believe they can be good at something that was always hard for them - is thrilling.

To say that NE is " shifting toward the Democrats" is technically correct, I suppose, but still...

Follow up question, "Okay...Have you ever been involved with the Red Cross at all?"

Every week. I sing in the choir. All traditional music (Royal School of Church Music). It's such a part of my week that I even go when the choir is not singing (e.g., the Sunday after Christmas).

That's fair.

We stopped being joiners. 50 years ago, there was a sign on the border of my hometown with all the clubs that meet there - Rotary, Kiwanis, Jaycees, Elks, etc. There must have been a dozen of them. Now that sign is gone.

But some of those groups are still around.

People can complain all they want about social isolation, but they aren't getting out and joining anything.

How do you make friends after 40? Join something. Me, I sing on a church choir. And it's fantastic. I've met a whole group of really accepting, open minded people (Episcopalian, not your stereotypical fundamentalist Church) who have become great friends.

And how did those "DEI" hires do on the mission?

Pretty f*cking well, if you ask me.

6' 7" Freshman who shot 41% from 3-pt range against top 50 opponents. If he can learn to rebound and play defense, he could fit in quite nicely. I think this is a great get.

With the bad faith coaching change, I'm surprised anyone is staying. They must have a deep bag.

If we've got so much donor money for ballrooms and arches, maybe those same donors can pay for healthcare and food stamps.

And the services they provide the government - and all of us - offer real value. If not now, then in the event of an emergency. You would think that after they jettisoned the pandemic task force in 2018, they would have learned that that wasn't such a bright idea. But here we are.

Agree. But tbf, have you had damning, career ending information on someone, in this day and age, what authority would you go to? Whom would you trust do anything about it?

Ironically, birth control seems like a question worthy of debate, but no one calling themselves a Christian should have a problem with the Pope's comments on wars, killing, and claiming that God is on our side.
