Only to keep the total an even number of schools. That's the only reason. If my math was wrong they can be dropped.

Right but they do all play each other eventually over a period of several years. In any case I think it would be silly to just merge the Big East with the ACC. They should just take the ones with value which in my opinion would be UConn, St. Johns, Georgetown, Marquette, Creighton, Nova and...

Possibly? Seems a bit silly to have a conference where some teams don't play each other though.

Right but the quote was "they'd love to be in a conference where every school plays football". That wouldn't be the case if they merged the two conferences.

Coach K keeps beating that drum... Coach K is intrigued by a proposed Big East and ACC merger to create a superconference ""It could also give UConn an opportunity," he said. "They're playing football -- and they'd love to be in a conference where every school plays football. It would be an...

I don't think P&W/RTX security would have anything to do with it anymore. They would be going to the Rent not PW/RTX. Nobody needs clearance to get to the stadium.

A good friend is a producer for College Gameday. I asked him the other day if UConn was 9-0 heading into the Duke game would they consider having Gameday in East Hartford. He said it wasn't likely. He does have Bell and Fagnano on his radar though.

Not just rain but thunderstorms now on Saturday afternoon. Wouldn't be surprised to see the game delayed due to that. On the plus side that should mean less fans and quieter for Joe to do his thing.

Ha! I probably looked a lot like Sloth immediately following the surgeries.

I think they did but I didn't need them. I did drink beer out of a straw though.

I think it was a full week where your head needs to be down 95% of the day. I think it was 2 weeks or so with no driving since it's just in one eye. The "chair" also comes with a mirror you can use to watch tv.

Yes, I had the bubble and special chair for each one. Not a fun experience. Sleeping was the worst and there are special pillows you could get. Still better than letting it fully detach and being blind.

Yes, I was very near-sighted since the 1st grade. I started to notice something like a horizon out of one eye so I called by eye dr who sent me to a specialist and then I had the first surgery a day or two later. Following year I went for a check up and they said the other would need it soon too...

Had a vitrectomy in both eyes in 2021 and 2022. mid-40's. Was told the cause was just the shape of my eyes and the retina was just stretched until it started to detach. 2 weeks off of work for each surgery. Not painful but you have to keep your head down and need to rent a special chair for...

Flying to Naples, Italy for work and have a free half-day or so before having to drive to the east coast. Any recommendations on where to go for a few hours? Options include Pompei, Cuma, maybe Amalfi coast for lunch?
