I believe this entire situation goes back at least 5 years when the Saudi's were in discussions to acquire the then European Tour and combine it with the Asian Tour. PGA leadership saw this as serious threat and cut the Saudi's in line by purchasing a minority stake in the European Tour (DP...

2017--my personal favorite. 5-star frosh Billy Preston gets into accident just before season begins. The car he's driving is a loaded Dodge Charger which is leased in the name of his deceased grandmother from Florida. Came out during the trial that Addidas had paid for the car. Self and KU...

Classic. That Marquette team had Jimmy Butler and Wes Matthews Jr. on the roster as well. BE in its heyday.

A.J. Price had a phenomenal game at Marquette in '09. 36 points (8-13 from 3).

I can't help but think that the B10 is backing ND into a corner with these moves (starting with USC & UCLA, now NBC contract). Your move ND....

Assuming the NY Post story is accurate (NBC contracting for B10 prime time games), what effect does this have on NBC future negotiations with ND football?

Rory wedge game is what cost him. Drove the ball beautifully. Just didn't hit the wedges close enough. Season long statistics bear that out. It's really the only so-called weakness in his game right now.

Additionally, if you are walking around the Loop in general vicinity of Sears Tower (now Willis), a stop at Old St. Pat's Church and Union Station may be cool to admire the architecture. Old St. Pat's was one of only a handful of structures to survive the Great Chicago Fire.

Twin Anchors in Old Town for ribs. IDK they are open for lunch during week but perhaps on weekends. Not a fancy place when compared to what other posters' recommended, but an institution.

Read somewhere that he graduated in 3 years from UM. Congratulations to the young man on his hard work and determination in achieving that and best of luck in his next chapter with the Huskies.

Considering one of our offensive assistants father was his HC at New Canaan, I'd suspect we've been in contact. Looks like he encountered a log jam at UM. Three years of eligibility left has a nice ring...

Ditto.

Based on feedback from friends, its really hit or miss. Some have had convenient and hassle free experiences. Others have had flights cancelled (granted due to weather) with only rebooking option 3 or so days later due to lack of available seats and only one flight per day.

Rays to Nashville

Perhaps the greatest highlight of Brady career was trashing his cell phone rather than hand it over to Goodell and NFL HQ henchmen.

FedEx HQ was a customer so I called on them several years. My advice is to avoid downtown and search out a place on the outskirts where the food will be better and less expensive. FedEx people took to me to Midtown (Overton Square) neighborhood several times. I think you'll find what you're...

Kansas no-ticket required this past Saturday. University of Arizona lowest home crowd since 1972 vs. Washington on Friday night.

I remember reading/hearing that Missouri was Delany and B1G desired choice when they got realignment rolling 12 years ago. Somehow or another negotiations went south and Nebraska became the choice.

Pre-internet days when I booked this 25 years ago. IIRC, I used miles for entire flight and when AA sent me the paper ticket, it included some vouchers which could be redeemed for AA hotel, car rental partners, etc. At the time, Grand Wailea was owned by Hyatt Corp. (i think) so you could use...

Honeymooned at Grand Wailea for 5 nights 25 years ago. Back then was able to use some American Airlines points/vouchers to cut rate by 50%. Nicest hotel I've ever been to in my life. Highly recommend Wailea area even if you can't swing the Grand Wailea.

Prospective employer required a Wonderlic test from every serious candidate pre-offer. I finished taking the test and the HR Recruiter laptop froze while downloading my results. She lost everything and I had to take back-to-back Wonderlics. Poor woman was appalled. I got the offer...

Speaking of massive buyouts, I think A Miller gets over $10M from IU.

Cooley flirted with Michigan (Warde) 2 years ago after Beilein left. He led PC to believe it was more serious than it was and squeezed that extension out of them. Like it or not, PC is stuck with him for years....

Forgive me for not understanding how Covid effected the NCAA transfer/eligibility rules, but he played 3 years at Quinnipiac and 1 year at BC. Is he granted a 5th year due to Covid? Thanks.

Was there 2 years ago next week for skiing in Zermatt. We stopped in Interlaken on the way down to Zermatt for 2 nights. From Interlaken, you are in close proximity to Jungfrau. Highly recommend the Jungfrau Railway. There is a viewing summit at the top where on a clear day you'll be able...

Connecticut Ice College Hockey Tourney, Harbor Yard Arena, Bridgeport 1/25/20

UM also has 3-year Wake Forest starter Chaundee Brown coming off the bench. He was granted an NCAA waiver to play immediately following Danny Manning dismissal as HC. They have a lot of pieces and Juwan has #1 ranked '21 recruiting class arriving in the fall.

Urban Meyer had a bad relationship with Tom Herman at the end and thought Herman was media source for a lot of the stories that came out about OSU assistant Zach Smith abusing his wife. I can easily see Urb relishing opportunity to meet with UT Pres and AD just to let Herman twist in the wind.

The risk you run as a recruit going to a Clemson, Alabama, or Ohio State. They will recruit over you in a second. Tyler Phommachanh will have a decision to make after this season in terms of staying or search for greener pastures.

Malloy hamstrung our state with his 2017 "concessions" deal with unionized state employees. Union leadership negotiated no layoffs until FY 21-22 in exchange for their "give backs". That's why Benedict couldn't touch anyone in AD department. Real question. What were CT DMV employees doing...

Monitoring Warde delivers the bad news: https://www.mlive.com/wolverines/2020/09/michigan-athletics-faces-100m-hit-with-no-football-in-fall.html

Been to many but one stands out. Was in Chicago for business and parlayed that into drive up to Milwaukee to see Marquette game on a Wed night during the 2008-09 season. It was an electric atmosphere in and around the arena. We were ranked #2 in country at time and Marquette was #10...

Olde Sawmill Grill and Miniature Golf in Oxford. Hit Rich's Ice Cream in Oxford afterwards.

I witnessed my father-in-law take a bite out of his steak at Cinzano's (Fairfield) and chip his tooth on metal. The owners were really good about it and they (or insurance) took care of all dental bills.

Pierce Brosnan and his girlfriend/wife sat on the couch directly across from my wife and I at the Admirals Club Puerto Rico Airport (highlight of her trip). Went to college in Boston. Out at bar in mid 80's. Run into MLB player Steve Howe in town playing Sox. After the customary getting to...
