    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    Well, here in WV, that comes as no surprise at all. As I said earlier the current coach is still listed as 'interim' on their web site.

    @alarson : You've stooped to a new low. The assumption is what I thought caused my cancer. Only I know how I felt. Not you. Not anyone else. So the fact I said the 'assumption' was incorrect pertains only to me. So, lift your finger off that button once in awhile and show some intelligence.

    Your statement is an 'assumption', which btw is incorrect. And, in respect of not caving this, I'll PM instead.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Maybe someone with really good inside information knows the answer to this question. Given the enormity of some 'contracts', is there a 'borrowing' element to it? If so, sustainable media contracts is essential to the paying parties. This could really muddy the waters if the media doesn't...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Somewhere is some backroom some media moguls have already figured out how to transform some schools with less greed, into bigger fan bases, more popular and more equitably funded. The media controls the lazy entertainment generation.

    General Sickness

    Just the electromagnetic things proliferating at 2 million per day that are pervasive (ie no escaping their 'supposed' effects), and increasing their wavelengths with every generation. Or are you saying the Prop 65 warning on the packaging is sufficient? Cause if it is, how are people supposed...

    General Sickness

    Let's be clear on one thing. I'm not annoyed at all with what my doctors wouldn't/couldn't tell me. I'm merely using it as part of the argument. During my treatment I was informed of the 'probability' of the consequences of the drugs being fed to me. That, imo, is being well-informed. I...

    I completely agree. But, those positions are established long after consequences of profitability. They're 'causal' statistics. But, we still can't disregard that the initial 'publicized' position was that they were not harmful. In fact, they were marketed as 'beneficial' to your health...

    Thank you for the detailed explanation. However on one point, just to be clear, I was not frustrated with my medical team as I totally understood why they wouldn't/couldn't commit to a cause. I was merely using that as the premise of the paradox. That aside, your explanation corroborated...

    Thank you. The emphasis on cancer is still my exact point. Different people react different ways. In regards to the 'paradox' I'm referring to: maybe I'm missing your point. Are you saying, science 'can' claim something is not carcinogenic, but the medical profession is still allowed to say...

    And, I hate to say it, but at one time neither did tobacco or asbestos. Suffice it to say there are plenty of things with carcinogenic properties identified in other countries, but not here. The MO here, however, is to react when it reaches critical public perception. Case in point: the...

    Actually, I presented my example to show the paradox. Case in point, how can science then say definitively that "X" does not cause cancer? They can't. Or, at the very least, they shouldn't.

    General Sickness

    First, thank you very much for this thoughtful response. Yes, we've been in avoidance mode for the past several years. That aside, I find the problem being the 'funding' and, more abstractly, the 'liability' issues. Take me for example. I had cancer. I provided a very good background of my...

    Big 12 stretch

    Correct me if I'm wrong. Iowa State never had a Big-8 Championship until the last year of its existence. Iowa State was the first Champion of the Big-12. How weird would it be if Iowa State found the path to be the last Champion of the Big12 (as we currently know it). The only void to the...
