MBB has always been dirty. NCAA doesn't investigate it, knew it all along, but every once in awhile they have to look like they are doing something.
Wade's mistake was not hiding it better than he did.

He leaves the door cracked in his answer. Which I think coach would as well because you don't know what the future holds or if an MLB team would come kicking the tires.
If Vitello has some success, which much depends on the GM work, then CJJ will be elevated in some teams eyes. But to be honest, a GM should be looking at the successful minor league managers than college.
Managing in MLB is so much different than college and so much of it is now analytics and stats. I think there is a lot of development that coaches enjoy in the college game. But you can't deny the temptation and money of MLB doesn't exist.

re: The deafening silence of the USA returning to the moon

I was a little kid when man first went to the moon, but I can remember quite vividly how much news coverage was devoted to it well prior to, during, and afterward, as well as the subsequent return trips, and this with only three stations and a single newspaper to go on. The difference is quite remarkable, especially considering this is a precursor to a trip to Mars, and we are venturing further in space than man has ever been to.
I can understand the diff in coverage from the 60's to now.
1. Space travel was new and none of this had been done before
2. The country was in a cold war with USSR and the space race was front and center in the minds of Americans
3. Now, space travel is not new, there is no competition for space achievements
There is some excitement out there. My 6th grade daughter watched it and was interested. She had gone on a school trip to NASA and she enjoyed that. So her interest was peaked.
The excitement can never be replicated like it was in the 60's. But I will agree with your sentiment that a bigger deal needs to be made about it. Because of the complexity, no room for error, and danger that we all take for granted because we've seen so many launches of stuff. Just look at the success and failures of SpaceX and Blue Origin in trying ot do things differently.

Lets also consider what is driving the South and Central America people and ME and Africa here?
For the most part, it is the socialist benefits. Medicaid, welfare, school, while many of them make money, don't pay taxes or send it back home.
If they didn't have access to that, they wouldn't want to come. The ones just wanting to work would come and would maybe just be transient and not permanent. But the freebies draws them here.
As conservatives who are against socialism, we have allowed socialism to creep further and further into our country. Now we are stuck with with it.

On the ground, that was surprising. That system has a laser designator for smooth tracking. The team responsible for that, on the most important launch in a long time, have got to be embarrassed that they screwed that up.
I had my phone in landscape and when the 1st stage went off screen I thought I had accidentally zoomed up and cut Artemis out of picture.
Jealous of the beach dinner to see launch

We use multistage rockets because of physics, not lack of innovation. Under the hood willing to bet modern rockets are a lot different than whatever we had 50 years ago.
100% agree. It's physics and getting essentially the same amount of mass to orbital velocity. Our engines and fuel can't pack enough punch to reduce the fuel weight. Just so much energy can be had out of the fuel. The only real diff in this versus Saturn V is that there are solid boosters on this one.

I have the same questions. If it’s just a drive-by, shouldn’t that be an unmanned vehicle?
They did an unmanned pass a few years ago. This was done in a similar fashion in the 60's. They build upon each stage of the process/mission. Supposedly, for future lunar missions that will be a refueling module orbiting to refuel the lunar module

Can't believe baseball is not making more.
Yeah I really would like to see Miller develop. Is he not putting in the work or have the motivation? IDK. He sure seems like he could be good with his size and movements.

Hold That Tiger 10, I know what we get with CWW and I'm fine with it. Just reflecting on my thinking back then and the shift in NCAA happening now. I think bigs are becoming more important and less reliance on perimeter shooting.
Is CWW going to adjust his style with these trends towards bigs? I'm looking fwd to next season, just to see some improvement.

I did an 8 month stint with Lockheed doing some final stress analysis updates to the crew capsule. Hope all systems work and it is successful. It is unreal how many systems have to work perfectly and the complexity of these systems. Just the pumps feeding fuel to the engines is insane.
It's kind of depressing that 56 yrs after we landed on the moon we are still getting there the same way with a very similar launch system, being multi-stage platform. It's almost like we have not done it before. Oh oh....I might start something there with moon landing deniers. :lol:

I had expectations for him to do well. From what we could as observers, seemed like a mature guy coming in early.
I hope he gets it figured out.

Thanks for the post tadelatt.
I started a topic on the loss of transfers. There are a few I would like to hang on to. I'd like to see Thomas and Reed stay. But I guess I'm not too worried. My expectations for 2027 is lower mid pack SEC.
I was always wanting a little less isolation and less perimeter shooting with CWW's first time at LSU. Seems I remember a lot of people complaining of that. But I think big center are becoming necessary. In NCAA there is becoming less focus on 3's now and shifting to paint points.
I'm looking fwd to who he can bring in and fwd to improving LSU basketball.

Lets explain what Andrew Colvet stated about the bullet path.
Somebody posted that he said it blew out 2or 3 vertebra and exploded his hear and fragments dispersed above the impact point.
That amount of energy in a 30-06 making a turn down spine and then blowing fragments in the neck vertebra above where it struck initially. That is more unbelievable than some of us saying it is "hard to believe there is no exit wound from a 30-06 at short distance".
The only way I can see fragments making it up it to his upper neck vertebra as the first Dr examiner said is if it fragmented at impact and then sprayed the vertebrae with fragments. That would likley require the bullet htting a collar bone and fragmenting. Because it isn't going to fragment hitting that soft of flesh in the neck.
But this is not what Colvet is saying happened. His claim is more spectacular than some of us not believing it was a 30-06 because of not exit wound.

Madking, I agree. Need to keep Miller and Nwoko. Id like to see Reed back but the injuries is an issue.
What I remember of WW's LSU teams are the lack of play in the paint. It was so much isolation and perimeter play. I hope we can get some bigs playing interior. I think things are going back towards a lot of big interior play. I loved watching Reed for UConn this weekend.

In MLK murder, the bullet hit the jaw first according to what 808bass posted. Fragmenting at that point is plausible and energy disipating thru the fragmentation and being dispersed.
This is completely diff scenario than CK's. The bullet didn't do a 90deg turn and blow out a series of vertebra. I don't see how this is possible when entering the softist part on a body.
ETA to clarify I'm speaking about MLK in this post.

Suspect arrested in Charlie Kirk killing, Tyler Robinson, confessed to his father
This will not affect Jp’s views on the case because his views aren’t rational.
Still did not confess to killing. He said it was him in the photos. I never read an official report that said he confessed. It is always "allegedly" confessed.
I'm not saying this kid is not messed up or even that isn't him on the roof, or him on the stairs, I just can't believe a 30-06 round doesn't go thru a human neck from that distance. Then there are other suspicious things in the case as well. But this is what stood out as really strange.

The article says that is him in the photos. He didn't admit to the killing.

Are we worried that we are losing 4*'s?
I hate seeing Reed go, but he was always hurt. He was a solid player though.
I have no idea how WW did in the portal or recruitment at NCstate.
