    AP has Kansas back ahead of ISU lol

    That's a weird selection. Based on his previous ballot, he almost had to have submitted something incorrectly. Week 16 he had Arizona #3, Washington State #20 and ASU unranked. Week 17 it's Arizona #6, WSU #21 and ASU at 9. So the crossover of Wazzu-over-Zona then losing at Arizona State...

    Wendy's planning surge pricing on burgers

    It has been quite a few years since I worked (briefly) in food service, but I tend to agree some of the "rush/slow" is build into the workflow. Did W's determine it's better to be "steady" all day instead of peak/lull? Is it more reliable for customer service, scheduling, et al? On the other...

    Wendy's planning surge pricing on burgers

    I agree it almost has to have some time frame expectation. Or at least some way for customers to know how much fluctuation to expect (or both). And is going to apply menu-wide, or just "main dish"? Perhaps Wendy's has elaborated/will elaborate, but nothing included in that MSN brief. I admit I...

    Wendy's planning surge pricing on burgers

    I think restaurants should give customers an option to adjust the price based on how hungry they truly are. :D ;)

    So how good is the Big 12 in Basketball this year?

    MWC has possibilities beyond SD State - Utah State and New Mexico, perhaps. I don't really trust most of those teams to go deep, but it'd be the closest to an FAU comparison. FAU '24 also is sort of like FAU '23. (But higher expectation, so maybe it doesn't count). :D I feel like most of the...

    Probably not a major concern, I think it's mainly to leave Memphis as "open" as possible in case Baylor is in position to get sent there vs. going to Omaha. If ISU takes care of business, that'll be moot.

    Bracketology 2024

    That's a good point. In most situations, probably so. Maybe wouldn't apply if you happen to meet the lowest seed possible in each round on the way to the title, but even wins in those keep you at least steady, unless your conference is extremely weak. So really no "blanket" formula.

    ISU probably did climb a line that season, but also keep in mind, two wins were over OU (ranked 15th at the time, got 3 seed in NCAAT) and KU (#9, 2 seed). So it was quality of wins, not that we won the tournament. Not to claim that's what you suggested, but a general note.

    I gave both you and @NoCreativity an "Agree." UA likely has it if field were selected today, it's there for the taking for them or UNC. Other scenarios are possible, certainly, but may require a semi-meltdown by both of them for anyone else to grab it.

    Bedlamonium. Really wanted to see OU go down.

    WSU loss is Q1b (fringe Q2a), Arizona probably isn't dropping much, if at all. If one views UA's position on 1 line too high, that's a separate matter.

    "These Days" is high on my REM favorites list. And it follows my favorite REM album-opener, "Begin the Begin." (There is a some competition for runner-up in that category). "I Believe," also from LRP, I rank higher than each of those. "Just a Touch" is on my underrated-REM list.

    Agree. Even the 'weaker' elements are solid.

    I like the white-noise-buildup/plug-kicked-from-wall coda to "She's So Heavy" ... but I think the song has one too many verse/chorus/bridge segments.
