HERESY! We have the NCAA! The UNITED FRONT! (ducks behind the chicken wire screen to avoid vegetables, beer bottles, and other airborne projectiles).

We'll keep an eye out for ya. I found your pic:

Solid Padron fan here. When I started smoking cigars, around 20 years ago, I could buy a box of Padron 3000s for $90. They are like $200 now. Still, the 3000s and the 2000s are a great smoke, and the top shelf Padrons (1926) are nice on special occasions. Never had a bad burn on a Padron...

I just re-read "The Journeyer" by Gary Jennings, which is a retelling of Marco Polo's travels to the Orient. Great storyteller.

In the sports business, things are very simple and don't need all that psychoanalysis: If a coach wins at a P5 level: good. If a coach can't coach his way out of a phone booth at the P5 level: bad. It really is that simple. They all coach the same kinds of kids.

I don't give a shit about baggage. Last time oSu hired a coach with a decent resume and experience was 1990. For those with bad math, it was 34 years ago. In his first year, he won the conference, and went to the sweet 16.

They have one loss - to a team we beat. They have multiple close games - just like we do. They are not a giant - haven't been one for decades. They are deeper than us, most definitely healthier than us, and have more talent. On paper, we lose, and maybe lose big. But - the game has...

The Portal is truly a two-edged sword, and a lot of players are just getting around to understanding that. It's less about who "paid off", and who would have really helped us. That is mainly JPR and Johnson. They could have had major playing time - on a winning program. If you want to give...

Isn't he a LB? Isn't that what LBs do when needed?

"Whiny" - did you mean to say "Screamie"? His blood pressure must get off the charts.

WVU likes to run the ball, just like KU. After watching the KU tape, I think WVU will be looking to throwing the ball. I know I would. Morgantown is a good environment, but oSu hasn't noticed (won 4 straight there). While our safeties are most certainly suspect, they have shown some special...

what does it mean if your major (Chemistry) wasn't on either list? Apparently, it means "Fly Navy".

Ollie-pop, Nardo Ball and Bowman Ball - Bring it.

Once again, you make your argument by putting words in my mouth - that I never uttered. You tell me what I "seem to think", and then attack it. That is a Strawman, JD. Shout from your pulpit about gun control all you want - but guns don't kill people - people kill people. All I want is a...
