I try to alternate non-fiction with fiction and go from the classics to modern thrillers, really any genre aside from romance or horror, lol. I just finished Under the Dome from Stephen King.

John Mellencamp puts on an amazing show. Still has that gravely voice. The band is tight and the music is exceptional. He’s one artist I will always go to see.

Neither FSU nor Clemson bring new markets of any significance to the SEC. Both would be a boon to the Big XII even though neither are viable options for the B1G due to academics. UNC & UVa would potentially be coveted by both leagues leaving those schoools debating among their regents whether they ...

Give me 5 Tomasz Gielos and we could rule the world If you are actually suggesting those 5 be on the floor at the same time.............

Ill Flame beat me to it. Wichita State has nas been a top 50 MBB program for most of the past fifty years. The timing of their collapse as they moved into the AAC was purely coincidental.

HEB is alright, but honestly Trader Joe's is my favorite grocery store on this side of the pond. However, the best grocery store that I have ever been in is Lidl in Vilnius, Lithuania. Belgian Food Lion is also superior to the American version. I can't say I was that impressed by Waitrose in London...

I’m certain the counter-argument to that will be, “If the candidate doesn’t like that pressure, we don’t want them anyway.”

The first sentence of your argument is subjective and your opinion. You are now angry because we point out facts about this program and you have a major problem with it. Oh well! Again, you misstate my position. I’m not remotely angry. And it’s an empirical fact that moving from FCS to FBS is much ...

You lost all credibility in the argument saying the ASUN to CUSA move is equal to jumping FCS to FBS. You also misstate my position. I’m not satisfied with finishing second. Except for this year, that’s an amazing accomplishment with this team. I’m pretty sure the coaches won’t be satisfied with con...

Sorry, same AD that released Gill for Freeze. He can do it again to anyone. Making the jump from FCS to FBS is entirely different from moving from ASUN to CUSA. There were also a dozen other factors at play that aren’t now. I mean I might know a thing or two about college athletics and coaching mys...

Here is the difference between you and me and a few other people. You keep giving CG a lot of credit for winning all those games in the Big South, a much lower conference. If CG have been coaching in the G5 all this time, would he accumulated 500 wins. I’m going to say, no. I look at it like the fo...
