That would have been a terrible idea.  There is zero chance that UConn and Temple would have brought in enough revenue to offset that they are now dividing the pie 12 ways instead of 10.

But none of those other schools are any good.

Butler has a better basketball history than Dayton. Anyway, it was rumored that Dayton was too much of a geographic duplicate of Xavier and Fox wanted the Indy market instead.

Hey the cops treated a black bear like they would a polar bear.  #progress.

It’s easy to get away with that shit in t-ball little boy!  But at the next level, the coach is going to put a (underhand) pitch in your ear!

Honestly I think this makes sense. No other quality candidate was going to take the job, and promoting someone else internally just causes a chain of coaching movement throughout the organization. If he has done a good job and is in good shape, why not?  Yeah he’s old.  But this is a three month solution.  That’s it.

I’m not fighting with anyone. I just don’t think minimizing people’s feelings is a good way to address the issue either.

Imagine an NFL spring league featuring that year’s draft picks, guys from the practice squad, and wanna-bes trying to make it. And they’re wearing NFL team logos. So we get to see Daniel Jones in a Giants helmet taking snaps either falling on his face or maybe completing some short slants.

This is such an obvious thing to do.  Good for the Sox.

I have always wanted to say this, and this seems like as good a place as any, but I think Sofia Coppola’s acting in Godfather III was much better than she got credit for.  I also believe that Godfather III is better than Godfather II, but people were so upset that the film was released in the first place that it…

What’s wrong with a little grandstanding? It got the point across.

I kept trying to figure out how much it would cost, if I were some tech bro billionaire, just to buy up the course, shut it down, and build some ungodly enormous house on the 18th fairway.  I’m thinking about $1.5 billion right?  I would do it just to piss off the golfers. 

Well of course they don’t get along. Harden set fire to Chris Paul’s kitchen.

Let me guess....you are a heterosexual, white, male...right?

There are many rank and file Catholics who don’t believe in the Church’s teachings when it comes to homosexuality and other issues. That doesn’t make them hypocrites.

I can’t imagine how tough that must be, and the strength it must take, but it looks like he’s got it to spare.

Sometimes offers aren’t really offers either. My understanding is that they offered him a scholarship, but then really didn’t show much interest in him. While Murray State offered him a scholarship and then kept showing up at his games, etc. They really showed they wanted him.

Just the first?

Maybe he didn’t know what “Break Point” means.

My wife and I sleep apart two or three nights per week. In the same house, just different rooms. Party because she stays up until midnight while I’m fast asleep by about 9:30.
