      I can't count the number of times my coworker has brought her up (he grew up a couple of blocks away from her).  So, yeah, i could go a lifetime without having to hear her name again.  But, hey, if that's your cup of tea, enjoy your concert!

      This isn't something you brag about.  Although your divorced parent secondary market strategy is legit. 

  2. B1G refs had a terrible night (especially if you are a UGA fan).  They missed or called incorrectly at least 3 game changing plays (blocked punt, facemask, unsportsmanlike) that all benefited Bama.

      All four of those plays in the sbnation link were awful mis-calls.  A couple of them are perplexingly bad.  I mean, this crew is supposed to be among the best in the nation, right?

      Everyone is different but I'd much prefer dealing with a few months of brutal cold and snow to the heat and unbearable humidity in many southern locales. The lucky folks in Nebraska get to deal with both :lol:

      What’s funny is that I mentioned this dilemma to people at work this morning and only 1 of about 7 knew that the volleyball was actually going on. And the Target Center was less than 5 miles from where we were standing.

      @dudeguyy except that he's only linked to Sandusky because someone on the stand threw him under the bus. He was investigated multiple times (including prior to his NFL gig) and was found to not be involved at all. 

       

      And Schiano would have been a good hire for Tennessee IMO. Oh well, looks like Tennessee will go from having a coaching vacancy to possibly having a coaching, AD, and possibly School President vacancy. :facepalm:

       

      Oh and to add insult to injury, multiple sites have suggested that Schiano could successfully sue Tennessee for the $20m that the contract was worth. I know he didn't sign a contract, but a LOI was signed by both parties, which would be enough.

      Is Tennessee still OK with Manning or is their outrage just selective when they didn't get the coach they wanted? 

  16. Off the Disney boat and checking in from sunny (and windy) Cozumel.  The number of adults (including males) who wear Micky/Minnie/Disney shirts at all times is staggering. And the adults who go to character/princess meet and greets w/o children have a screw loose.

      Guys--this is the FBI looking into this s**t, not the NCAA. Last time I checked PMITA prison isn't something the NCAA can hand down as punishment, and people are already singing to them. This is gonna get big, it's gonna take big names (like Izzo) down, and we're probably gonna see a lot of the top tier talent immediately up and leave NCAA Basketball overnight for the the pros. 

       

      The upside to all this is that since our guys weren't projected to be top-tier NBA talent just yet, none of them have been on the dole. This means when Michigan State, Ohio State, Michigan, and/or Purdue lose their talent, we'll be projected to be one of the top teams in the B1G next season! :D

    3. jaws

      jaws

      @VectorVictor, I know the FBI is investigating but the NCAA will react to it and deal with the schools listed in the report. Judging the list of schools and names involved, the NCAA won't do much.

       

      Why are you lumping in Ohio State, Michigan, and Purdue in this. I haven't seen any of those schools or coaches implicated. If this were football, I would be a little more worried for schools like OSU and Michigan. 

    4. VectorVictor

      VectorVictor

      Because the list pretty much had just about all of the first few rounds of draft picks for the NBA on it, and those teams likely have at least one key player that is a high-round draft pick this year. 

       

  21. World Cup 2026!

      @sho the World Cup is expanding to 48 teams (from 32) in 2026, so it won't have a huge impact on teams qualifying if all 3 nations (US, Mexico, and Canada) are given bids to the tournament.

    3. schriznoeder

      schriznoeder

      @HuskerInLostWages Plus there will be 48 teams in the 2026 field, so even if all three hosts get automatic bids, it will be mitigated to some degree.

    4. HuskerInLostWages

      HuskerInLostWages

      @ColoradoHusk @schriznoederThat definitely makes it easier to give 3 host nations auto bids.  Should help other lower teams in CONCACAF get a shot at making it now too.

      I could really go off on how absolutely stupid these gender reveals, couples engagement showers, etc. have become. It's just people wanting to feel more important than they are and one upping others on social media. It's stupid, please stop. But the thing that gets me in this story is that some writer chose to say they "inadvertently" detonated a pipe bomb. :facepalm: They may have inadvertently killed Nana but I'm quite sure they fully intended to set off the bomb they obviously built for the event. I'd call it a Darwin moment but I'm guessing it didn't kill the correct person(s).
