    And tasteful! Sure it's bad but with so much good in the world you can to balance it out.

    Bilas: "I think there's a very good chance Donovan Clingan comes back."

    To me the sole reason to stay is would be to extend that period of one's life, namely time you get to spend with the friends, acquaintances, and connections made during the past couple of years. It's the "youth is wasted on the young" conundrum, one doesn't appreciate what one has until it is...

    Big Blue Nation having a very normal Tuesday

    There's an old adage about those who say, "I don't know who I am" know darn well who they are and don't like it. Same thing, they are self-aware, they just chose to ignore it.

    Are we tiring teams out due to superior conditioning?

    Former long distance hiker here, and getting beat (rain) doesn't make the hike that much harder but it makes one want to stop that much sooner. I could do a fair distance over many days but afternoon thunderstorms, they were the worst.

    Let's not worry about who's in the bracket.

    First off, do you imagine the other teams in the bracket are happy about being in this bracket? It's similar to that scene from the film The Watchmen, we aren't in a bracket with those teams, they are in our bracket. If the committee was intending on punishing us, they hit the wrong target.

    Xavier post game thread.

    Irrespective of your opinion, what is the difference between regardless and irregardless? I can say that as a former field engineer, the premise of the premises often left the front office nonplussed.

    Legendary Music Venues in New Haven

    I would have been there too, but I had to work. Sons of Bob opened as I recall. Saw Tom Tom Club there, though and Al Stewart. Not the same. Fleetwood Mac at Tragnassal!

    Yes, on noro prevalence (recent victim during trip). Haven't experienced the latter but know those that have, extremely unpleasant. Norovirus I was over in a day, COVID can last a lifetime.

    NLRB rules against NCAA

    Hi Dean Reddy! Didn’t know you posted here. And yes, my dean and chancellor just about say this at every faculty & staff meeting

    NLRB rules against NCAA

    Yeah, this was the thing with the grad students unions in CA. The thing is, there was abuse, but this is over reaction that doesn’t solve the problem. Also UAW leadership has student’s welfare foremost in mind when organizing?

    Tristen Newton named as one of Top 10 Candidates for the Bob Cousy Award

    Cognition is a very odd thing. It's part of the pattern recognition circuitry that we acquired in evolution. Another part is the "cut to the chase" mechanisms we collect. It is for that reason, I often confuse the acronyms VVR (Vermillion Valley Ranch) with VWR (one of our suppliers). I also...

    T-Swift - UConn

    The frau would ask: Who is Taylor Swift? And yes, my wife does not know any music or songs by Taylor Swift, would not recognize any of the Kardashians, nor could tell you anything about popular culture. But she could tell you about the 4 or 5 Nobel Prize winners who are (were) her friends and or...

    If Supreme can stay in the game, he will get fat on many dinner plates. But he has got to stay in. Cooley did us a favor by not pulling him when he had 4 fouls. That kid can play.

    AP Poll - 1/8

    Opinions are like ... everyone has one, and they usually stink. Not sure what Wilner's beef is, but it extends decades. He was beat writer for SJ Mercury News then things happened but guess he's still in business. Funny thing is he was opposite Geracie, who memorably predicted UConn over Duke...

    OT: Bad/cliche/cult movie recommendations

    I was serving at the time this came out, and the depiction of these kids handling those weapons was hilarious. The consensus was that they immediately would all succumb to friendly fire. Hell, the dude on the far right can clear 4 of his team in one burst. That only leaves the guy on top left...

    OT: Bill Belichick Retiring after season

    Academics are the only ones that refuse to retire, and mostly because it's often the case they are doing what they love and so it isn't work to them. It is a problem though, and similar to this Belichick situation: they like to continue doing the same stuff that made them famous. Things, as in...

    OT: Bill Belichick Retiring after season

    Well, if you are telling me it was Brady who drew up those defensive schemes that stymied Peyton Freaking Manning oh so many times, then yeah, Belichick was nothing without Brady. Otherwise, Belichick was nothing without Vinateri or Gostowski. Which, obviously, was Bill's best innovation, the...
