Re: Caitlin Clark - G.O.A.T.

Iowa vs LSU and Iowa vs UConn might have been two of the best college basketball games this season. South Carolina is so good that I think they may easily win the championship game but I hope it's another close one. Caitlin Clark might be the most important player in all of basketball right now. Not...

Re: Caitlin Clark - G.O.A.T.

Iowa wins! Great game by two great teams. All class on both sides. Reese Wilson played one hell of a game, playing through an early ankle injury. She fouled out with a couple of minutes left in the game, and Iowa just ran the time out. Caitlin and Reese shared a big hug after the game, they are act...

Wow!

The LSU vs Iowa game has been amazing.

About 3 minutes left in the 4th and this one has absolutely lived up to the hype.

Re: Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse live: Many casualties feared

There's a youtube channel called What is Going on With Shipping that explains what happened to the ship moments before the incident.

The crew appears to have done everything they could have possibly done.

Unfortunately, the circumstances were overwhelming.

Also interesting is the 4-3 vote by the Colorado Supreme Court and the unanimous decision by the SCOTUS.

The most relevant sentence from the decision.....

Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse.

She's the most exciting player in college basketball right now. Simply an amazing talent.

I'm hopeful that her run continues and she breaks the current NCAA scoring record held by Petr Maravich.

Re: Anyone Cold?

There are two cold seasons in the upper midwest. First cold where lowering temps chase us into our coats at 50 degrees because we haven't acclimated ourselves to the cold. Last cold where rising temps find us golfing outside in sweatshirts at 50 degrees because anything above freezing feels luxurious.

There's a cutoff point somewhere around 10 below where any colder doesn't matter. At that point nothing works right and the air hurts.
