But the thing is, any normal person with rational thinking skills would hear this bowling ball test and think, “that’s just stupid. There’s no way that’s true.”

That feels like someone bending over backwards to find something vaguely similar to the shit in Trump’s head. For this to be what he’s talking about, he would have had to learn about Japan’s safety testing procedures at some point in his life (no chance), remember it (no chance), then make up something barely…

Can’t lose what you don’t have.

2019 is just an eyeball screaming into the void.

In other words, this thing is somehow an improvement!

The fact that your reply is itself nonsensical grammatically makes me very happy

The only knock on Penn hosting the Ivy League tournament is that it might make sense to have it at an Ivy League school.

“I’m not sure that generally—and, again, [I’m] saying generally—that all those players are quite as fired up to play Clemson or Wake Forest, as they were to play Villanova.”

While it’s impossible to discount the effect of realignment on the current state of the programs remaining in the Big East as well as those who left, you also have to account for the fact that the schools like Providence and Seton Hall have made darn good coaching hires that have helped to elevate those programs.…

“Pitt fans often seemed to be divided between those who viewed Dixon as an underachiever and those who appreciated the program’s consistency”

Get aht!

While I don’t live there anymore, from hearing anecdotes I’d say there is a large contingent of Nebraska fans who think the switch from the Big 12 to the Big 10/11 was a mistake because it fundamentally changed the types of football players they needed to recruit.

the big ten lost in that partnership too. bringing on a greatly diminished maryland program (probably due to the reasons you just listed) and the bloated corpse that is rutgers...all because they wanted more of a ‘presence’ on the east coast, whatever the fuck that means.

The Big East has its problems but I feel like schools don’t really think through the implications of switching conferences like Pitt did. The ACC is a better conference in basketball, but Pitt lost a lot of intangibles in that move.  

I mean, that’s sort of exactly what her character was in the first movie?

OK, weird left field tangent:
From a modern gender-rights standpoint I am 100% with you. We need some female role-models that aren’t all about who they will be partnered up with. At minimum some evidence that she won’t be marrying the first person she kisses would be nice.

Thing of it is, when you are the ruler of a…

That does seem like the logical person’s microphone to grab when one is struck by an impromptu urge to address the public.

“If you guys can’t behave, I’m going to pull this arena over right now and...”

Chicks, man
