They carry themselves very differently (Clark more of the showperson, more demonstrative; Watkins more reserved, almost like a Tim Duncan-personality with a Dwyane Wade game). But at their core, they seem pretty similar (fanatical competitors, just love ball more than anything else).

I think it is very unlikely that JuJu breaks the record, for all of the reasons I laid out here: https://forum.hawkeyenation.com/threads/couple-other-coaches-saying-bueckers-better-than-clark.97298/post-2120088 We can already see the biggest one coming into play this season...USC was heavily...

One of the great things about cheering for the women's BB team is they pretty much always meet or beat season expectations. And I would say globally, that 2021-2022 season exceeded expectations (earned a #2 seed, won the B1G tournament). But that is the only season I can recall where the final...

O'Grady has been great, but I would rather see her at 25 minutes per game than the 33 she played vs. Drake. You can see her effectiveness wane as the fatigue builds...the most obvious manifestation being she simply falls down a lot as she gets tired, leading to unnecessary fouls and turnovers...

I think the team learned a lot from that game that helped them over the next 2 runs to the championship, though. I was at that Creighton game, it sucked so hard. Iowa was better, but they weren't yet ready for the moment.

Nope...I don't know if she has ever missed a game, HS through WNBA. Kind of a freak from a durability standpoint.

I have not read that book, but Doritos are absolutely crack to me. I am not sure there is a single thing in life that gives me more pleasure than throwing a handful of Doritos in my mouth, to the extent that it disturbs me even as I am stuffing my face. I have to keep them out of the house.

Democrative Colorado Gov Jared Polis on the potential RFK, Jr. appt as Sec of HHS: Can't say that I share his excitement, simply because I don't believe the GOP wants to take on big Pharma or big Ag, that would be quite an about-face. But I wouldn't mind being wrong, in this case. Doesn't...

I think the left has harmed their own interests in a number of different areas by being snobby ideologues.

Lefties (aka pinko commies) only: what are some ideas/policies from the right that you think are on the right track (if not perfect)? Try not to couch within backhanded criticism. Righties (aka fascist, authoritarian wingnuts) only: what are some ideas/policies from the left that you think are...

Good governance is when no one is happy, but everyone is satisfied. That means there was some give and take, and the final policy was probably balanced. I think there can be instances where a mashup of 2 decent ideas can lead to a horrible policy (worse than either of the competing ideas would...

That is a great point. Are you familiar with the island of knowledge surrounded by a sea of ignorance analogy? The shoreline represents your awareness of your own ignorance. The sea of topics you are ignorant of is essentially infinite, it represents the total knowledge in the universe, of...

Agreed, but beyond that, the devaluation of expertise is a problem. It is a double-edged sword...over-reliance on expertise leads to degradation of intellect, but let's be honest, the world is fricking complicated these days. No one can be an expert on novel viruses that lead to pandemics...

I think there is some consensus on this issue of food-system quality across the political spectrum, maybe it can go somewhere.

Also never partook, nor have I ever been drunk (have maybe consumed a grand total of 5 alcoholic beverages spread across my 47 years). I had an older cousin who went into AA when I was in 7th grade, it really scared me away from ever considering alcohol and the like.

No, as @Glass1/2fullguy stated, it is surface level stuff. Basically, hyper-palatability being the issue, which is not necessarily the same as ultra-processed. Being able to combine starch/sugar + fat + salt very cheaply, and then passing it along to the consumer cheaply. If our food system is...

@PCHawk , I know you say you cannot view the gift articles I share (perhaps you need to sign up but not pay?), but anyhow, here is a good piece about the problems with our food environment: https://wapo.st/4feObAl I agree with you that RFK, Jr.'s idea to make this a priority is important. My...

Welp...the American people (or at least a slight majority of them) have spoken. Not necessarily surprised, still a little dumbfounded by the whole thing. I guess we'll see how it works out. In the meanwhile, love thy neighbor!

In related news...it appears Joey Labas has been benched in favor of a freshman QB at Central Michigan.
