I use gmail’s calendar. I set it to post all the games. And after the game is complete, it shows the score.

Janus is the god of beginnings, transitions and endings, almost always depicted by two heads facing in opposite directions. My wife worked at a retail sporting goods store with that name for a few years while I was director of a nature center. The store and the center did a lot of joint...

I’m a bit younger at 74 but old enough to have listened to the broadcasters you mentioned. They were awesome! But I’m chuckling at your last comment. Years ago as a side job, I did score keeping for community basketball leagues. Didn’t pay much but did give me a free Y membership! I knew...

And don’t forget Newfoundland with its 1/2 time zone differential! Was there last week - really beautiful countryside.

Obviously there’s no good news in this - but I trust she is able to take heart that there are so many (too many to be honest) examples of competitors who fully recover from this specific injury as good as ever. It was a privilege to see her in person at UConn’s visit to Columbia last season -...

I was busy with grandparental duties during the game so I only saw a 5+ minute highlight on YouTube. Nice to see the new players in action. Two reactions I have from posts on this thread: 1) At least two of you wrote about their disappointment in Ayanna’s play. Can we have a little grace...

Is it too mean to speculate what Coach Jumper could have accomplished with all this talent? (FWIW, I actually like his insights and comments.)

More palatable than the $200 Minnesota charged, taking advantage of the Paige effect.

Your point is well taken and understood BUT - one of the charms about sport is its inherent one-off nature. A terrible team can have an uncharacteristically perfect game and beat a much better team and the opposite is equally true. At the time UConn hosed the Gamecocks (I was at the game...

Happy birthday to Ines - she turned 21 yesterday (Sept 29). I appreciated her time here.

It’s annoying for sure but it’s worth considering how much networks are paying out: millions upon millions to broadcast the more popular sports, actors/actresses earning $1 million PER EPISODE, etc.

Our rural Wisconsin county took advantage of the infrastructure grant program and hired Spectrum to provide broadband access to all residents in the county, with one major exception - they aren’t required to service those who live on private roads which is our situation. However since all...

I just tried this on my phone. I’m impressed.

The price I cited was pre-tax. But it’s now an obsolete data point - after I started this thread I got an email from Hulu informing me of yet another price increase.
