  1. Remember - Dems steal elections, but didn’t real 2016. They also manufactured COVID to destroy Trump, but didn’t seem to kill him with it
  2. Well wokeness didn't cause the bridge to fall down. It was DEI
  3. I have my tickets for Saturday.
  4. Our Elite 8 matchup, if we move on, would be on Sunday. We are on the same S16/E8 schedule as Albany 1, so I would hope they could start Albany 1 at like 5 and us at 7. I'm going to be pissed if it's 9pm yet again... (it probably will be at least 8pm)
  5. Yeah, that too. Opening Day for baseball, Sweet 16/Elite 8 for both men and women, college baseball.
  6. This is a really good weekend for softball for top 20 action #1 OU @ #18 KU - ESPN+ #9 UF @ #15 Miss St - SECN+ #2 Texas @ #7 Ok State - ESPN+/ESPN2 #10 VT @ #3 Duke - ACCNX/ACCN #11 aggy @ #13 LSU - SECN+
  7. Feels like they got them all mixed up. Should have flipped the times in Los Angeles and Detroit.
  8. Yep, getting lumped into the west coast regional with Gonzaga, Stanford, SC really sucks. Which is why the NCAA needs to go back to 4 regional locations. Even Vic thinks so. Northeast Southeast/Texas Central/Midwest West Just checked - next year's MBB first/second round locations are Denver, Providence, Lexington, Wichita, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Raleigh, Seattle. Only potential double dips with teams usually in WBB hosting contention are Colorado and Duke. 2026 has a couple potential double dips too - Buffalo, Greenville (SCe), OKC (OU), Portland, Tampa, Philadelphia, San Diego, St. Louis
  9. That’s very interesting. I think RFK’s “support” will drop off considerably by November. It’s easy to say you’ll vote for him now, as everyone does with third parties. Then it will slowly decrease as people pay more attention
  10. a 34.5% 3 point shooter and a 75% FT shooter?
  11. I like Topo. I don't care for selzer though, like La Croix. Which is irritating, because my office has about 14 diff La Croix flavors you have to sift through to find a god damn unflavored, noncarbonated water bottle.
  12. https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39818577/womens-ncaa-basketball-transfer-rankings-2024-25-season Kaitlyn Chen is really intriguing - one year rental, can run point and put Booker back into her natural position while Rori gets back to game shape. She's not as proficient of a 3 point shooter (33%) but she's a high assist player with a lot of steals. We already mentioned Taliah Scott Poffenbarger already committed to LSU, so I'm thinking the SEC intra-conference transfer rule is for football only.
  13. https://www.kbtx.com/2024/03/27/3-texas-am-womens-basketball-players-arrested-minor-drug-charges/ Kyndall Hunter is one
  14. She was annoying. Really didn't enjoy her character or acting.
  15. A Democrat should have won in a seat that was R+1 and R+7 the last 2 elections? By 25 points? And overperformed R internal polling by 35 and D internal polling by 23? Maybe, just maybe, there's something missing from the media "conventional wisdom" about Trump up high single digits in every single swing state. Unless you believe that women will vote for Republicans, youth voters are 50/50 and Trump is going to capture 25% of black voters. Because the results don't agree with that. Roe still matters. A lot.
  16. Yeah, you have to instill early on that voting isn't a meme. It has real world consequences. "well I live in X, so my vote doesn't matter" is why Texas will probably never flip.
  17. They should not change anything. NCAA MBB is the only team bracket sport that you don't get a home field/court advantage. (And football, but that's changing with the addition of first round byes and home field for the beginning rounds of the CFP) Future regional sites for WBB: 2025 - Birmingham and Spokane 2026 - Fort Worth and Sacramento Honestly, I think I'd get rid of the 2 sites and go back to 4 sites - Northeast (Albany/Bridgeport/NYC), Southeast (Nashville/Birmingham/Orlando/Atlanta/Greensboro), Central (Dallas/Houston/San Antonio/Kansas City/Detroit/Chicago/Indianapolis) and West (Portland/Seattle/Spokane/Phoenix/Las Vegas/California) If you did something similar this year - SCe would get the Southeast or Northeast, Iowa would get the Northeast or Central, Texas would get the Central or Southeast and USC would get the West
  18. It was an open seat - David Cole beat Lands 52-45 in 2022, but he resigned due to voter fraud (https://www.wlbt.com/2023/10/11/former-alabama-representative-sentenced-after-pleading-guilty-voter-fraud/) Lands beat Republican Teddy owell this time around
  19. ESPN Re-Seeds the Sweet 16: https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39803158/womens-march-madness-2024-reseeding-ncaa-tournament-sweet-16 Texas would hypothetically be re-seeded to the #2 overall seed
  20. Man some of the TV numbers were insane for the Round of 32 6 matchups had over 1 million viewers, with two of them above 2 million (MTSU-LSU and Syracuse-UConn) and WV-Iowa was 4.9 million Alabama-Texas almost hit a million (950k), just behind Duke-Ohio State (965k) but well ahead of Nebraska-Oregon State (730k) and Colorado-KSU (760k). And it was still 6th in viewership for Sunday.
  21. That’s the problem. It’s not fixable but until the media has a come to Jesus moment about polling vs results (who knows, maybe 2024 will be the moment), they’ll continue to hold onto it to keep them relevant. Unfixable doesn’t just mean methodology. It also is unfixable when the media uses it to prop up a horse race / story line and completely tell you to ignore actual election results. It’s unfixable because they’re not longer believable
  22. Baseball board - let’s give the other opponent credit so we don’t just blame our program Football / basketball - fuck the coach, it’s all their fault, they are garbage Theres always been a lot to grace handed to the baseball team/coach when we suck/lose games we should win. That doesn’t extend to other sports
