    And she gave sort of a BS excuse that she wanted a faster paced playing style.

    Friday OT - Watch the World… Sparkle?

    My one guilty pleasure: I used to come back from my supper break at work 15 minutes early just so I could take a dump not only on company time, but on overtime. Really, it's the only dishonest thing I've done as an adult. I once returned to a restaurant that I ate at a week earlier because...

    Vodka Sam with some competition

    Isn't it policy in Iowa $hitty to hold drunks for 8 hours to sleep it off before releasing them. I thought that was police policy everywhere.

    Crock Pot Recipes

    I just saw a video about a pumpkin dessert that I'm going to try tonight to see if it's fit to eat. If it is, it will be my contribution to Thanksgiving this year. It's more like a pumpkin cobbler. Recipe calls for two cans of pumpkin, one can of evaporated milk, half a cup of brown sugar, one...

    Credit Cards

    I don't buy airline tickets, but you can always use cash or at least you could the two times I did buy airline tickets back in the 70s. I've also rented cars without a credit card, but again, back in the 70s. I just stayed in a hotel this spring/early summer when a storm knocked out my...

    Credit Cards

    I've never used a credit card, never borrowed money and therefor have no credit history other than bill paying. It hasn't impacted me in the least that I can tell. I pay cash for everything. If I don't have enough cash, then I wait until I do. I know, I'm odd.

    Friday OT #1 - Jump the Shark

    I gave up on Blacklist when I realized that it was going to be one of those never ending stories, where they keep teasing a big reveal in the next episode, but it never comes. I hate shows like that, where the main plot line keeps getting shunted to the side while they go off on these tangents...

    2023-24 ISU WBB Season Thread

    I think Jalynn's highlight reel is the most impressive to me. She seems to be able to do a little bit of everything, shoot the three, drive to the hole, handle the ball, pass, and she was named the Texas High School Coaches Association player of the year for classes 1A-4A. (She played in Class...

    2023-24 ISU WBB Season Thread

    From the looks of that picture, Jaylin Bristow looks to be 6-3 ... if Izzy's listed height of 6-4 is correct ... and Addy Brown looks to be closer to the 6-2 she's listed at. Bristow is definitely taller than Brown anyway.

    He got a carry this week. It was called back for a false start, but he was still carrying the ball, Dinged up players don't usually play.

    Coin Flip = 50/50 Odds... No Longer

    I thought there was some theory out there that heads appeared more often. Something to do with the mass of the coin and coins that had more weight on the tail side, which in a flip with fewer coin rotations that would tend to negate any weight discrepancy, meant the weighted side always landed...

    From the John Wick studio - Sisu

    I finally got to watch this movie and found it, while entertaining, a whole lot ridiculous. Spoilers follow. We're supposed to believe: A). That Nazis shooing automatic weapons at a man running backwards only hit the gold miner's pan the man is holding like a shield in front of him when they...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    I saw a game there against the Angels in 1976. Frank Tanana pitched for the Angels and Bobby Bonds hit a home run during the game, but the Twins pulled it out. I can't remember who pitched for the Twins, but I know they had Rod Carew, Larry Hisle, Lyman Bostock, Butch Wyneger, Roy Smalley, Mike...

    Retirement Targets

    My retirement age, the age when I could draw full benefits, was 66 and I started drawing my social security check while I still worked and salting it away in my savings. My retirement target had been age 67 and 40K in the savings account, in addition to my 401K, which was doing pretty good after...

    I don't know where you got your information, but as of last year, the Big 10 was ranked 5th among conferences for women's basketball by at least one site while the Big 12 was ranked third. https://www.warrennolan.com/basketballw/2022/net-conference
