Didn’t want to open this thread last night. Now it’s morning and I’m shedding a tear for the family of a VERY good boy. It is just totally unfair that dogs don’t live as long as we do. RIP Milo. Prove that God is fallible. What is this? Unless the answer can be found in a commemoration of our goode...

Looking it up, Lipitor in small doses has a minor impact on plasma bilirubins, so, this may be part of it. One more reason to try and find balance in the staten vs diet with my mentality being diet 70% of lifting a with meds being 30% or less. So I guess I should update. Ultimately whatever the doc...

For all those I’ve missed, beyond words I’m sorry. July is a hard month for me. July 1st will be Rowdy’s birthday, and she had her seizure or stroke on July 1 of 2022. I still see so many pictures and videos of her and have so many wonderful memories. Praying hope and happiness and new found memorie...

Friendly reminder I met (trained) Brittany Fulmer and she, in the sweetest southern drawl, proclaimed “We don’t talk about him. We hate him. He’s a douchebag.” about Kiffin.

Edit: Haha I see I shared this story above already.

I should add I’m on very light Metformin. I basically take a 2-3 pills of a 14-pill weekly regimen and Docs are OK with it because my diet is doing the heavy lifting and the Metformin acts as a cherry on a sundae type dosage. They did put me on Lipitor, and I’m taking that nightly, but I’m gonna ask...

Down 78 pounds, now. Picked up my activity last few weeks as the calf strain seems to be healed. Walked 30 miles last 10 days, with multiple 6-7 mile days, mostly 3-5 mile days, and a few rest days of little mileage but some stretching and light weights. Also got my labs back. My A1C is now 5.5. My ...

Welcome back to our most esteemed elder Appreciate the good words. I think. Eebs and Chicat returning helped a lot. Being shouted down on the football board really affected how I feel about the posters here. Just wasn't the same old TOS. Still can't get over the support for a rapist, but nothing I ...

Only in America is eating regular food items considered a diet. .... and where poverty correlates to obesity. Yep. I once was one of those guys who thought food stamps should only be for produce type items. No steaks, sodas, etc. I've changed. Just looking around where I live and where I work shows...

I have found low carb has gotten a lot easier with some of the options out there now. There's some low carb cereals, breads, tortillas, and crackers now that are decent. I use cauliflower rice when I eat Chinese food, cauliflower crust when I have a pizza craving, and cauliflower mashed potatoes wi...

I, to this point, haven’t subscribed to any denial diets. I still eat the food I enjoy, I just make it much smarter and healthier. Whole wheat pasta and low/no-sodium stocks, and using more authentic pasta sauces, creating my own ramen sauces to avoid the overly salty and sugary shelf items. Eating ...

Suffered a blunt force trauma in March, by April I was almost septic and in the hospital for 4 days. While there the doctor laid it out for me, and if I don’t improve health, within 3-5 years I’ll have major issues. So, I’m down 30 pounds, I walk 15 miles a week, and I’m I’ve radically embraced a f...

I definitely understand.

Originally the mods were nominated and voted. But I understand the pressing need.

To this end, Jason Scheer has influenced multiple coaches by spying and naming Tim Floyd as front runner in 2009 and by being literally the first person on Twitter to poke holes in Schlabach’s timeline of events that dreadful weekend in late February 2018. To that end, sure, but the average fan is b...

When my folks bought their house in the mid-90s the neighborhood was full of older, original owners, and younger buyers, most in the law enforcement or teacher professions. One of the homes was sold in 2006 and eventually was foreclosed because it was underwater. This allowed their neighborhood’s fi...

As someone that’s experienced this situation first hand (assuming what happened actually happened) it’s devastating, especially for the family which will not go 1 day without having those “why’s?” and “what could we have done?” thoughts. Just sad. My family has had two uncles who just up and vanish...

Yo! WTF?! Jesus! That’s awful!

Sorry for your loss RC.

My old car died, and it needs a new engine. I am in the process of buying a new car but have to wait for my Subaru Legacy to arrive. In the meantime my knee became injured and I have to walk in pain. When they took the x-ray they found calcification of the knee and a 4 cm bone growth and liquid bui...

JMarkJohns

Yeah. That is on trust. Let’s see use, ego management, development, scheme, and ability to manage expectations, especially late in close games.

We shall see if that is the norm or the beautiful vista before the fucking cliff.

Very excited for his opportunity with NBA.

Incredibly convincing I don’t need to be convincing to convince folks I know more than you; you continuing to speak on topics in such ways is all the convincing I need. You like to take aggressive stances and then retreat into the corner a victim. You specifically came at Jason Scheer in this threa...

JMarkJohns

I don’t get your take? I am not a fanboy of Scheer but I am glad he went after them and of course ESPIN back when. Sounds like you are anointing Canazano as an all knowing scribe. He, Wilner and Mandel are all hacks Everyone has a source and those sources have their knowledge and their goals and de...

Nah. Nobody needs that in their lives. Just an excuse to play all the shit we barely survived over and over. I mean, you know the selection committee is going to try to set up an AZ/Xavier collision course in the tourney. Might as well get ahead of it. Oh, 100%. For the next decade. Which is why we...

I got into arguments for 2 years with every national checkmark on Twitter defending Miller and while I will root for him, if Arizona plays his Xavier, I will root for the Cadillac over the Buick. By the way, Scott Van Pelt argued with me for like 20 minutes on Twitter, then had to give a Mea Culpa o...

Was it Wildcat Radio that wanted to merge with us or pay us to be there message board forum in 2019? Jesus we dodged a bullet there.

JMarkJohns

So why did they make it out to appear that he bolted because of playing time? Oh wait, I forgot about crack reporting these days… Well, university was in a tough spot because it’s Williams medical status and he was no longer a player. He didn’t want everything reported at the time. And the Universi...

Unfortunately, his will likely be a short career and it will likely end with knee arthritis. I hope he rises quick, earns some money, and transitions into coaching by 30. I know a few 40 year olds with knee arthritis and it’s a tough watch for former military or college athletes to basically be hobb...

JMarkJohns

From my understanding, he was uninsurable. His knee is basically bone on bone and there was huge exposure for a college to play an unpaid amateur vs him as a professional paying out of pocket early to chase dream and then finding success and getting paid to play enough he doesn’t need insurance.

Miller was most related when Arizona won the Pac-12 championship his second year (2010-11). “I remember thinking, ‘Wow, this is awesome,’” said Miller. “That was the last party I ever had. Once we got past that first one, it was like, ‘Look, there is a bigger picture. When are we getting to the Fin...

No. We want to play San Diego State frequently for So Cal exposure.

And Utah fits better geographically with the other schools in Pacific Northwest, all of which border Sierra Nevadas, Cascades, or Rocky Mountain ranges, hence Mountain West.

Folks that know viewership are the networks that pay for them. 2 top 25 is not a market I would invest in. Not when you have the red river shootout, the iron bowl, Ohio st vs Michigan and a slew of top ten games to watch. Hell I'm jumping back and forth from Ariz games unless it is a nail biter. It...

Damn. Maybe Big PAAC is the best idea.

Pacific-Atlantic Coast Conference for official, and “Big PAAC” for any secondary reference or talking point.

JMarkJohns

What about this conference name instead: All American Conference. It fits with the idea of excellence in athletics and academics (All American) and symbolizes that this includes large swaths of all of America. It also includes nationally known brands in both sports and academics. All American Confer...

Honestly, I think LA and Red River cashed out. I think they knew it was only getting harder so they all retiring off their brands. Maybe USC fixes it. Maybe Oklahoma stays competitive. But Texas been down bad for a long time, and UCLA Football isn’t getting anyone except 20% of their alumni to tune ...

JMJ is 100% correct that market isn't at all enough. GaTech isn't the Falcons, BC isn't the Patriots, Cal isn't the Niners... you don't get the whole metro tuning in because a local university is on TV. It's all about either national brands or regional rivalries. I have Georgia Tech in my top-20 be...

"Why won't it work?" ...first thing that comes to mind is the ACC teams that are being cut - what's being lost there? Where would they go? * Boston College * Clemson * Florida St. * Miami * NC St. * Notre Dame * Pitt * Cuse * VaTech * Wake Figure those would get split up between the B1G and the SEC...

As a football fan first, not many match ups there that I would look to watch on my Saturday past our game. Basketball wise it would be great but as we know this upheaval is driven by football. Say you want to distribute 50m a year to your member schools (less than half of what the B1G/SEC will prov...

This assumed Clemson, Florida State and Miami were automatically gone. If they aren’t, and one wishes to remain part of American Coast Conference, I’d swap them into Georgia Tech spot. Specifically Florida State. But Clemson would definitely add some football clout. At the end of the day, kindness i...
