  1. Dang...the OJ trial! Imagine that today! Imagine if that trial started tomorrow morning, my god...
  2. I would add in the day I lost my virginity but that was really not memorable for me or the girl. "Tear down that wall" That might fall under this topic. And like...I didn't know it at the time...but Rocky IV was basically just a "f#&% YOU, COMMIES" movie.
  3. Oh yeah! I was a little kid...but I remember the principal at my school coming on the intercom and saying that it blew up and that they didn't know if anyone was alive...then we said a prayer (and shockingly it was okay and there was no issues with that)
  4. Yeah...they are a short bench but in the end good teams don't really play more than 8 guys in their rotation.
  5. I know we are all thinking it but I will say it... Nude girls on the internet (plus a super slow connection at the dorms at UNL) made for some interesting times! I am going to throw CD's on the list...I was really into tapes (not as much records) but CD's were a game changer...a short one...but still.
  6. Every coach on that staff is secretly so freaking happy.
  7. Could you imagine Y2K with the social media we have now? My god, I mean...we were already thinking it was going to be like going back to the stone age...
  8. 9/11, great call. I didn't think of movies...but When I was a kid one of the Star Trek movies came out and we happened to be by a theater. The line must have wrapped around the entire building, it was unreal. I don't really remember the wedding...I remember when she died. That was crazy huge.
  9. Wow, good call. I was super young when that became major news here in the states.
  10. No fans in attendance for March Madness.

      Man......just think the overreaction is a bit much about this thing.

  11. So, clearly Corona. I don't really count Ebola or bird flu or swine flu. In my life, the only other thing I can think that was this big of a deal was Y2K. Any of you guys got any others? Maybe the housing bubble bursting?
  12. That is actually a really good idea. I don't know how many Ivy league kids would use it but it should be an option.
  13. Oh yeah, no doubt about that...Delta said they are down like 10% on bookings (I think)... It is crazy right now. How I make my classes remember... Bull horns go "up" Bear claws go "down"
  14. State of Washington has officially banned all events (They are hosting March Madness)

      @BigRedN The difference is that influenza only has about a 0.1% mortality rate, while coronavirus has a mortality rate of around 3-4%, and unlike influenza we have no vaccine and few treatments for coronavirus.

      It's comments like BigRedN's that make me wish we had the eyeroll emoji back. 

       

      Seriously--knock it off with that derp. You're not part of the CDC or any sort of expert on anything, and your rationale is completely off base.

      Hey, I've been eye rollin' the media and the coverage of this virus, so it's all good.  To me, there is no reason to create this kind of fear. 

       

      We will see where the facts go.  I think it will be a small blip having no comparison to the flu.

      Is there a cure for the flu, or the cold?

       

      The stats very from year to year.  I took an average.  https://www.statnews.com/2018/09/26/cdc-us-flu-deaths-winter/

  15. I have long felt that in a Presidential election year all HS seniors (regardless of age) should have to take a "voting class" not a class that tells them who to vote for but a class where they get to learn about the topics and watch debates and different news stations and crap...then they get to actually vote, at their school. THEY DON'T HAVE TO VOTE...but they can if they want...right in the school.
  16. It is because tickets have already been purchased? I don't think tickets have been sold for Boys State yet, have they?
  17. My guess...he says that he won't be touring right now and that he is still in the race.
  18. Or...people could just not be dorks and post here as well. Not everything needs to be an agenda. I mean, you literally just made it a political thing...and it was the first reply. HAHAHA
  19. -15 (now) This is such a big game for IU...I have to think that they will just wear down NU.
