I have never been a Counting Crows fan, but I am digging this one from their new album in the rotation on Sirius/SM Spectrum channel. It made me check out the rest of the album, which is not bad either.

I remember going down to Miami for a Men's game when they just joined the Big East, I think Rebeca Lobo was a freshman, 1990 or 91. The women were playing in town as well. We went to campus to try to see the game and asked around where the game was, and I remember people saying, "we have a...

I got there a little before noon and was second to last row in the Blue lot, a half hour later they were turning people away, not sure where. It was also nice to see a lot of CCSU fans there.

I moved into a new house a couple of years ago, and it has a steep, fairly long driveway. Last year's plowing costs were ridiculously high, so I am looking to invest in a snowblower. I hate the maintenance of gas engines, especially on equipment that might not get much use, and have switched...

The flight to Lawrence was actually cheaper than KC. The Hilton I booked close to the stadium is now sold out that night.

How does a predicted 4-8 UCF team get ranked ahead of us?

Flights to Lawrence from Hartford are less than $300, leaving on the 2nd and coming back on the 3rd. Hotel walking distance to Allen is less than $150, very affordable trip.

I know it is not where you are looking, but if you are in the Berkshires, East Side Cafe in Pittsfield is a hidden gem.

That is about $500 in today's dollars, still a pretty good deal

I am watching 1971 on Apple TV with my 22-year-old daughter, who thinks we are in the worst of times. She had no idea about such relatively recent history, and the music is awesome.

I am a fairly high donor and can afford a lot of stuff, I remember the cost to go to the Fiesta Bowl and I balked, it cost more to go to one bowl game than it was to the entire big east tournament. Now a Boston trip is over $200 a ticket, can I afford it? Yes, but with all the other costs...

I am a semi-major donor. This is why I started this thread. Even donating at an astronomical level, I feel I am being priced out. I got invited to an away trip to a football game, and at a pre-dinner, I was at a table with a Coke rep who had never been to a football game and really was not...

I thought it was a fun guilty pleasure, everything you would expect from an Adam Sandler movie. It is worth watching just for the joke with the Jack Nicklaus cameo.

I have been a Sirius/XM subscriber for years, but I recently discovered the Spectrum channel, which offers a nice blend of old and new music. Eddie 9V is in the rotation and has won me over as a fan; his music has a nice bluesy 70s vibe. He will be touring in the area this August.
