Now he's free to take that job at Sonic.

Tough game, but I'll take the Gators.

Florida is the best team in the country. It took a while to get Lee and Boogie going an acclimated into the system, but once they did, the Gators were on their way back to the top.

Klavzar is an assassin from 3.

Haugh is going to be a top five NBA pick. He's far and away my favorite player in college right now. The kid can do everything and hustles on every play.

Condon is playing much better and has thankfully come in from the 3 point line. That was killing his confidence.

Branding works when a logo becomes easily recognizable by a large percentage of your total market and beloved by your core target audience. The fans buying the tickets.

The ones that stand out for me as top tier design are
Tennessee
Texas
Florida
Arkansas
Auburn
OU

The best LSU logo is actually their secondary Tiger logo, which is the tiger you see on the helmet.

Color also plays a huge part in branding. Texas, Tennessee, LSU and Florida have big advantages here due to the use of orange, gold and their bold combinations. LSU and Florida's uniforms really pop and show well on TV. That attracts new fans, especially young ones.

You’re wrong splitting it down the middle. If the GOP gets off their butts and get Save Act for passed, you’re going to see a drop of 20-30% of “Democrat” voters. They will magically drop out.

I doubt the numbers will shift to that degree. And with respect to my point about Northern Ireland, it won't matter. In the 1970's, Northern Ireland was 31–34% Catholic and approximately 60–65% Protestant. It was a terrible time.

We have some speed. The women's track team could use their help.

We're settling in

Knox has played well since entering. Had a rebound and a Bill Walton quality outlet pass and then a block.

What's our goal here? If it's to destroy their capability to produce viable nuclear weapons, at least for a long time, that seems achievable. We've obviously killed their leader, but the secondary goal of removing the entire regime is more problematic. They have layers of leadership designed for this sort of scenario. I think it would require boots on the ground for a long time. Civil war is likely. Israel would have to take the lead in any such effort. I don't think the American public wants large numbers of American personnel involved in another Middle Eastern conflict, especially if we've eliminated the nuclear threat.

Then why did I always get stuck in right field? The only balls I ever saw was in the shower after the game.

Lol. You probably had the strongest arm.

Tim McCarver had a lot to say about 2nd basement and other positions in one of his books.

Second basemen first and foremost have to be able to make the pivot.

They're expected to make the routine play and anything beyond that is often considered a plus. That said, their arms are tested on double plays and when they serve as cutoff men and must throw to third or home, but they’re not tested as consistently as the arms of shortstops because most of their throws go only a short distance, to first or second base.

They're taken for granted except on double plays, but a second baseman has all kinds of responsibilities, including covering second on most steal attempts with right-handed batters at the plate—except if they are opposite-field hitters—and covering first when the first baseman charges on a bunt attempt. It takes some courage to play second on a double play.

They also have to be able to judge the speed of a ground ball to the left side of the infield, because that determines how long he has to get rid of the ball. Not as easy a position as you think.
