I’ve seen a lot of Villanova basketball this year because we’re force fed Big East BB in this part of the country. In fact, I’m a fan (except for this weekend). Villanova is damn good and tomorrow’s game will be tough. But they’re not the same team they were the last time they went to the dance - even before Gillespie got hurt against Creighton. And if it hadn’t been for Robinson-Earl last night they could have very well lost. Winthrop was tough and aggressive, and they gave Nova an incredible run for their money. But we’re smarter and more disciplined and agile than Winthrop. We have a real shot at winning tomorrow night. This Blue Blood team may not have given our guys looks before. I guarantee you they’re looking at them today.

No. He tore his MCL

This is a very winnable game. Nova looked flat last night and they’ve been lackluster all year. Plus Gillespie is out. More importantly, as UNT showed the country last night, they’re the real deal. Jay Wright is concerned this morning. Going to be interesting in my house tomorrow. My wife is a Nova alumn and huge fan. Hope my marriage survives this. 🙂

Think about it - Villanova is playing now for the right to play us. Un-freaking-believable! GMG!

I heard about this from a friend this morning. Very sad. I had Bud for a TV production class in the mid 80s and stayed in touch with him for decades. About 10 years ago I asked him if could give me a copy of a show he did about Buddy Holly on WFAA in the 70s. I got it in the mail within a week. That's the kind of person he was -- extremely nice and helpful. He cared about his students and they cared about him. He'll be missed.

A lot of us old guys can still rock🙂

Good to know. I haven't used TuneIn for BB games, but I had the same issues as @EagleD during football season.

Great news!

Totally agree with this. I think the most I ever paid for a semester was around 2 grand (I lived off-campus). Could easily pay for school by working 30 hours a week. Can't be done today. The problem is that today you need a college degree for jobs that didn't require them 30 years ago -- which means you need to spend $120K (or, more likely, take on a huge student loan debt) just to get on the bottom rung of the ladder. That's not sustainable.

Surprised College Inn has lasted this long, actually.

I think a lot of things are contributing to the decline in viewership, including some of the things you mentioned. But I think there's a surreal feel about the 2020 season, including the fact that there are no - or very few -- fans in the stands. And the fake crowd noise is just creepy. Just not the same feel as a "real" season, so I haven't tuned in. Getting my fix thru things like Last Chance U. For me, there'll always be an asterisk next to 2020 sports.

Horrible news. EVH was a guitar god.

How many MG players have been signed this year?

...Since this article about the call from the Cardinals came out last month? There may be something on GMG but I haven't seen it. https://tulsaworld.com/sports/high-school/im-not-giving-up-on-this-dream-mason-fine-is-finally-getting-nfl-chances-after/article_2aeda42b-ffd5-5502-a85e-cdbb11156b8b.html

Is there an obituary? I haven't been able to find one.

I think a lot of governors are calling up the Guard -- my state has. My guess is that Trump won't have to invoke the Insurrection Act. I think that governors who haven't yet called up the National Guard will be forced to by situations on the ground if they keep deteriorating.

Under the Insurrection Act the president can also federalize the National Guard -- and deploy the regular military -- in situations where a state is unable or unwilling to end civil disorder and insurrections.

I'll add another Netflix show - Rust Valley Restorers, about some Canadian car restorers. Mindless entertainment but addictive.

Especially true when it comes to rare earth elements that are used in everything from the military to smart phones. We get the vast majority of them from China.

A nice memory of Phyllis George -- In the mid 80s I worked at a Denton-area retail store while I was going to UNT. One day she came in with her daughter, who was then a toddler. She was in town visiting her father. I waited on her and she was down to earth and very friendly. She came in wearing sunglasses but I recognized her immediately. I asked her if she needed any help and then said "Are you...?" Before I could finish she smiled and said "Yes."🙂 Sad to hear of her passing.

yes

Cody Spencer I think? In the early 2000s.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2888825-undrafted-free-agents-2020-mason-fine-rumors-predictions-for-signed-players The 49ers could still be an option if they look to move on from third-string quarterback C.J. Beathard. Fine, who passed for 3,088 yards and 29 touchdowns last season with nine interceptions, is likely to get a look somewhere. Not over yet.

That's on my list. Hope it's more soccer and less love story.
