    Patrick Stepping Away From Basketball

    I'm really impressed with the responses on this thread. I'll be honest, I'm pleasantly surprised. Maybe times are changing. There still is such a heavy stigma in many circles. Thank you all. I've spent 30 years working in psychiatric units, and now lead a psychiatric hospital. It's...

    Iowa Coaches Confident in Joe Labas

    Great analysis. I think he did very well for his first start. Moved the pocket and release points with some positive effect, escaped pressure. Made the short throws he needed to make. Didn't turn it over. Not bad, considering all you mentioned (O line is really rough). It would be...

    Anyone Here Under The Age Of 65 Going To Assville, TN And Paying Actual Money To Watch This Fiasco?

    I agree with you. See my other post r/t lymphoma. Seems like you think you're trying to explain something to me. This is one of those things were multiple factors are relevant, but this doesn't play well in an internet message board, where people feel compelled to see things as black or...

    Anyone Here Under The Age Of 65 Going To Assville, TN And Paying Actual Money To Watch This Fiasco?

    Well, my dad died of Hodgkins and I think the fact that he sprayed pesticides on all of his plants for years (he had two very large gardens) may have played a role. Really tough to tell but in his case I think the chemicals played a role. edit: he sprayed this stuff with zero protection...

    Aside from the fact that watching Iowa is a tough sell, going to Nashville in the winter isn't my idea of an awesome get away. If I'm spending money, there are a lot of other places I'd rather go, but to each, his own. I can see if you lived really close it might be reasonable. I'll watch...

    Even with perfect weather, this game could make one's eyes hurt to watch.

    Family history (at least the genetic component) is extremely important, as is lifestyle. They're both really important. Some people who are insanely fit drop dead from cardiac issues (not common, but it happens). Also, cancer has a very strong genetic component. For instance, people are...

    Anyone Here Under The Age Of 65 Going To Assville, TN And Paying Actual Money To Watch This Fiasco?

    I know. thanks. If I wasn't completely clear: 1. Higher risk gets a colonoscopy (usually diagnostic colonoscopy vs screening) 2. Lower risk, you get a choice of colonoscopy, FIT (fecal occult blood) test, or Cologard. Disadvantage of the last two is that they must be done yearly. I used...

    Add: but if you are higher risk a colonoscopy is the way to go.

    Generally 50 is a good number but you can do it before that time. If you knew your risk for colon cancer, it would guide you in terms of which diagnostic test to get. If you are low risk you can do a non invasive FOBT (fecal occult blood test) which doesn't involve anything but putting your...

    Will Proctor And Nwankpa Be Here Next Year?

    I wonder if other folks on here are thinking that college FB is bullshit nowadays and maybe finding other rewarding things to do with their Saturdays? I love the hawks, but college football is gross. I'm an alum, donate, and buy season tickets and still travel to go to some games. I could...

    World Cup

    I think we are all limited by our culture and perspective. I agree with you about soccer, but if I grew up with it I would likely love it (as most of the world does, and it's massively popular). Baseball, by contrast is very American and not played by all of these countries. I grew up with...

    Mens Basketball

    I would evaluate with metrics like FG percentage, points scored, rebounds, assists, etc. I believe he was injured in the Duke game. Other than that he's basically playing like an All American. Was he lousy in other games?
