The 2 is explained by the fact that WVU chucks up a million threes and doesn’t drive to the basket.

This small, unnoticed exchange is so wonderful. I read Fighting ‘Chokes post and my first thought was, What does Herm Edwards have to do with SCC? Then the reply. So inside baseball, but perfect!

My grandfather also fought in B-17s in Europe (flew out of Duxford, England). He was the photographer who documented bombing missions, etc. He came home from the war and vowed never to buy Japanese and was actually hurt when my Dad bought his first Honda. Despite fighting Nazi’s, that hatred never extended to the…

But the state is closer to 50/50 (see Cooper’s close win). The legislature is apportioned under maps that have been declared unconstitutional, but that is still being worked out. Seems like the Dems had more leverage than they used.

All things Kansas City for me. When the Kings left for Sacramento the NBA pretty much died for me. I still haven’t been able to settle on a team to follow (although I’ve probably been saved a lot of grief that being a Kings fan would have entailed...). Oh, and those Colorado Rockies? I sit here typing in a KC Scouts…

Longtime “temporary” Arkansan. Lots of people visit Arkansas. There is horse racing in Hot Springs that brings in droves, fall color in the Ozarks, rivers for rafting/whitewatering, duck hunting.

No, No, No, No (okay, maybe)! This was my parents only Christmas album when I was a kid so it was what we listened to when putting up the tree (the Saturday after Thanksgiving). When my kids were tweens they bought me the CD and it was Nostalgia-riffic. I didn’t hit publish did I?

Actually, the second amendment was written with the specific intent of giving slaveowners the power to capture their runaway “property”, but carry on.

If by daddy ball you mean the ungodly, inhumane, grotesque, living vicariously through their children parents - then I have news for you. Tennis parents were the originals.

You do realize that both your examples are highly driven by oppression, right?

Uhhh, what? I married into a Chicago family and they will knife you over Lou Malnat’s v. Uno v. Deux v. whatever, but they definitely go for the deepdish.

That seems odd. This is based on one playoff series two seasons ago now? I am a die-hard Royals lifer and can’t say I’ve ever had an ounce of hate toward the O’s (the owner is another issue). Sure, I was all for the sweep in ‘15, but I have admired the Orioles for years - partly I suppose because Jim Palmer went to…
