    Trey Thompson

    I was living about 10 minutes away during the filming of FOD. My uncle was a stand-in during the "book burning" debate at the HS early in the movie, and can be seen clearly several times.

    Hawkeyes Dismiss Gabe Arnold

    Yes. No doubt. I have faith that Tom and Terry made the decision in the best interest of the program, but, hopefully, it won't be another Seth Gross story, where he left, matured, and became a consistent title contender. Well, at least that some of the weight class competition concerns clear up...

    Music Thread

    Remember it well. It all started with a local DJ who started to denounce the music on the air. In later casual interviews, he made homophobic slurs and basically exposed his biases and true motivations. He definitely wasn't alone, however.

    Carter Starocci Alleged Misconduct

    It will be quite interesting to see how PSU handles this. I agree with Fry, the administration is not going to want any further tarnishing of the program and will likely bring down the hammer. As far as Sanderson, you can bet though that every effort will be made to distance him from the...

    No Bassett Decommitted

    Not surprising at all. My guess is Taylor was eventually able to sway him. I'll be surprised if he doesn't end up at OSU. The battle for second just gets a little murkier now.

    Music Thread

    When Disco was at it's peak, several groups sought to take advantage by recording tunes of their own that incorporated that distinctive Disco tempo and pacing. Many are actually quite good and are on my iPhone playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJo3Rq5Fubc...

    The Fever and The Pacers: Really Fun to Watch

    The GM for the Fever basically stated that. They wanted someone who was tough and physical, and a bit of an enforcer. And, yes, much like adding Oakley. The Bulls probably handed Oakley a "hit list" of the entire Pistons front line...

    Man, this just isn't fair...

    All of that could take place and we would still be 60 points behind PSU at nationals.

    The Fever and The Pacers: Really Fun to Watch

    It was an interesting game, for sure. I have mixed feelings about how it played out. Either way, though, the refs were awful. Sheldon has had a rivalry with Clark for years, and it's obvious that each wants to go at the other. I actually think that those kind of heated rivalries are good for...

    My favorite Foreigner tune. They've had many higher charting hits over the years, but that is one of the few that I turn up every time.

    The Fever and The Pacers: Really Fun to Watch

    That's a good way to characterize her. As lethal as she is from the outside, I wish she would work on getting more arc on her shot like Curry. It's hard to imagine her getting better, but I've noticed when she struggles from the outside, it's usually when her shot flattens out more than normal...

    Man, this just isn't fair...

    Yeah, I've been pointing out for awhile the benefits of Sanderson's coaching style. First, he recruits based upon talent and mindset, not record or battle-minded intensity. Second, he has implemented an almost Zen-like approach for preparation. The result is that his wrestlers stay relaxed and...

    Man, this just isn't fair...

    PSU has now added Ono, Duke and Blaze to an already stacked lineup. The separation of PSU and the rest of the wrestling world just keeps widening and widening. May the battle for second commence...

    Pickup Trucks

    It really all depends upon what your needs are. If you are planning on occasionally hauling, towing, etc., then a truck can be a great investment. One of the biggest advantages is that there is no higher competition amongst manufacturers than the pickup segment. That has led to constant...

    Why do we always F around with this shit?

    I agree that walk-on status is in the best interest of the program, but unlike Little Lick, this kid can play. He's not an elite player by any stretch, but from what I understand he's smart and has a good all-around game. His tape reminds me a bit of Jeff Horner.
