    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Funny story... my 5yo daughter randomly got into wrestling this year because of her friend. She has been extremely successful to the surprise of everyone that knows her (we are the farthest thing from a wrestling family). Because of this, the coach has her wrestling up in age and weight in...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    But CC is a big part of why they don't care about mbb anymore. As long as they have some front-runner to hitch the bandwagon to, they are happy.

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

    I say we rollout a special Valentines uniform with pink tops and cardinal shorts. Essentially the same idea.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Speaking of intelligent announcers...with 6 minutes left in the Iowa women's game yesterday, a direct quote... "Clark is getting close to that triple double. She's already got the points, and she's only 1 rebound and 7 assists away." Needless to say, she did not get that triple double.

    Chevy Holiday Alzheimer's Ad

    That's a good one. Unfortunately, we lost my father in law in 2020 from early onset Alzheimer's at age 58. Signs were there at age 50, and he was officially diagnosed at 56. No one could visit him with Covid restrictions and he just absolutely tanked. Such a terrible disease, and shouldn't ever...

    Random, Useless, Interesting Facts

    A blue whale is so big that if you laid one out on a basketball court they would have to postpone the game.

    What players have fundamentally changed a sport?

    Trying to come up with one that hasn't been said yet... Marcus Smart changed how defense in CBB is played. He flopped so much, and sadly was often rewarded for it, that it has become a normal part of the game. So much so that they added the flop rule, which they should just call the Marcus...

    Pat Sajak retiring from Wheel of Fortune...

    My brother and I were supposed to be on for Family Week, filming on March 26, 2020... so that's what COVID took from us. We've been told we're still in the contestant pool, but they have not filmed another Family Week since.

    Jury Duty (Amazon Show)

    Just finished it. Loved it. It has a lot of Office-esque humor, with the added bonus of the Ronald thinking it's all real.

    Switching careers in your 40s or older

    I did think about switching districts and was offered a job in Gilbert (which is considered one of, if not "the" top district in the state for teachers) back in 2020, but then Covid happened and moving the family was going to be extremely tough. I'm in a fairly high-rated district in most...

    Switching careers in your 40s or older

    I appreciate the kind words. I'm going to try to still sub every once in a while, and I'd encourage everyone to do the same. I have lost many planning periods because we didn't have enough subs to cover classes. And I think it'd be pretty eye-opening for most of the community.

    Switching careers in your 40s or older

    I'm 37 and this will be my last year teaching. I've taught 7th grade science or math for my entire career and this year I finally decided I'm not doing it anymore. Every year the students are more disrespectful and apathetic and it's just not worth it. Also sitting through 2 hours of incredibly...

    Best Sitcom Bracket on Twitter

    I was a huge fan of Will Forte's show, Last Man on Earth. Unfortunately it only lasted 4 seasons. Premised on the eerily accurate pandemic that occurred *ironically* right after it was canceled.

    Best Sitcom Bracket on Twitter

    My own personal preference from the original bracket: Cheers Home Improvement The Office Always Sunny The Office over Cheers in the finals. I also had two 16 seeds over 1s as I've never been a big Seinfeld fan and I loved Coach. Same with That 70s Show over Friends.
