Wait... there are other boards on here?

Sigh. I'm too meat and potatoes to make this list. I only have myself to blame. I have no midget porn, no tranny sex clips, and not one single Tijuana donkey show video.

I've let the folks down. I'll try to get into something like Bozo the clown porn to make up for it.

1654 Jews are expelled from Brazil

A very common story in European dominated cultures (and that was certainly Brazil back when they were a Portuguese colony) is that the economy turns to shite because there is limited liquidity and borrowing options. They allow Jews into the country. The liquidity crisis is solved, businesses thrive!

Someone notes the Jews are getting rich off this (along with everyone else), people get upset about that happening, the Jews are expelled and their assets seized. A few years later the economy is in the toilet again. Rinse and repeat.

If we are looking to maintain that last week as "rivalry week" and kansas is already on the menu, then yeah, it makes more sense to have them at the end of the season. We've got 4 games scheduled with them ('25,'26,'31,'32) so that would have to become an annual game. I think we'd be good making it an annual thing, if they are.

The sad thing is, IMHO, that Missouri was more than willing to keep the series going. And now Kansas would kill to have Missouri on the schedule.

I think the Jayhawks realize that now, but they are dealing with the juggernaut of SEC scheduling. Schedules aren't set out years in advance, unless you are dealing with the bum of the week programs, they are set out a decade in advance.

You have a rivalry with Alaska? I'm guessing air rifle? Man, I tip my hat to you. That is going deep in your list of opponents.

I applaud you for the sheer pettiness of hating the Nanooks or Seawolves. :cheers:

6th in the SEC... 9th in the country. Good grief what a meat grinder softball is in the SEC.

No one because they are irrelevant. I guess their biggest rival should be whichever team is closest to last place.

You still aren't over that loss we hung on you? Dude, give it up. Ohio State went in way deeper than we did. Hate them.

The dispensaries had a ton of sales all week, so I stocked up. $20 quarters and $20 1g vape carts.

Roll a fatty for the rest of us buddy. :cheers:

I don't know how anyone justified paying that much.

I know some folks who went on a heavily discounted visit and they had a fantastic time. I know production costs are high but surely you can scale back and at least recoup some of the losses?

1847 U.S. forces defeat Mexicans at Cerro Gordo in one of the bloodiest battle of the Mexican-American War.

Another in the long line of disasters Santa Anna would suffer on the battlefield against US or Texan forces. Santa Anna's basic plan was sound, but his basic plans were always sound, as he fortified hills overlooking the road to Mexico City and entrenched a large force of Mexican infantry and artillery.

But, as always happened with Santa Anna, he screwed up royally. Anna had convinced himself that a hill that overlooked his entire encampment was impassable and had not bothered to station forces there. It wasn't impassable.

The US cut loose with its artillery while a battalion marched, unopposed, into the rear of the Mexican encampment. Anna panicked and sent additional forces into the fray... essentially stuffing them into a trap. Once he realized that the Americans were now behind his forces Santa Anna fled the battlefield (leaving behind his artificial leg). With their leaders either dead or fleeing the Mexican army surrendered.
