Crap, let’s not get the Purdont/Wisky/Duke conversation going. Next thing we’ll have a Dorky poster on here.

I’ve had a set of parents floating by with 7, the last week. 
I just noticed that there’s only 3. 
I’m hoping that’s it’s a different family…. 

So another park here has a couple ponds with about a dozen geese. Curiously no hatchlings? I’m thinking this guy might have something to do with it.😫

May is off to a good start, and will have Michigan in the hunt again.

Hopefully he helps change the BIG culture from the Wisconsin/Purdue model!!!

Never know how injuries will play out or how all the newcomers will do.

Everyone on this board likely wished we had another guard on this team last season instead of an empty seat.

Does anyone wish we had Grant Gelon on the team last year?

we don't need to to keep an open scholarship.  pick up a sleeper to take a shot on if nothing else.

There will be some high level pickups when they realize they are not currently NBA material.

Have you noticed there is always a "With that boing said" disclaimer on all these announcements?

Never noticed ‘boing’ before?

Cam played before NIL and before the rules regarding agents were relaxed.  Relaxed rules = a lot more grey area. 

I'm not saying it DOESN'T happen.  I'm saying the need for guys that know all the below the surface networks aren't nearly as important. 

Yes and what I’m saying is programs/coaches with well established runners still have advantages when it comes to those grey areas.

Who's to say it doesn't?

I know you are a high level thinker, think about it. The Cam Newton stuff still goes on and it is most definitely not above table. 
“Cam Newton was declared ineligible twice — Nov. 10, 2010, and Nov. 30, 2010, — but was reinstated in time for Auburn’s next game in each case. The NCAA determined Rogers tried to act as Newton’s athletic scholarship agent, but Newton was reinstated each time because he had no knowledge of any pay-for-play scheme.”

Easy as pie to build that in to an NIL payment.  "I want 50K in this account, 25K in this account and the balance in this account." Done.  And it's not like these transactions are going to be audited with a fine tooth comb. 

Once again, what you propose doesn’t happen with above the table NIL. The slime is still there.

You really think that "network" is not longer important? 🤣

Have to emphatically agree on this point! Said it a couple times, Yes athletes are getting paid with NIL. However, family members, handlers, AAU coaches and promoters are not NIL recipients! THEY STILL HAVE THEIR HANDS OUT!!!!

SIAP Conwell is heading to Xavier.

I just hope we don’t get to September and hear coach saying he needs the Sophomores to step up!! Look where it got CJ, Banks and IU last year! Time to get out from under the porch and run with the big dogs!

I’m good with last year’s starting backcourt coming off the bench this season. Hope they are as well.

I’m telling you….give the $20 Amazon orient specials a shot. I’ll never go back to in-ear again. 

Per your suggestion, I’m trying them. Definitely more enjoyable than the garbage hearing aid experience. However while overall the experience is better I lose the highs the aids amplify? That and when I put them on with glasses temples and hearing aids I start to look like I have Alfalfa ears!

Still evaluating!

What birds migrate at night? 😂

Actually the majority of migratory birds fly at night. That’s why lots of local ordinances limit lighting such as yours.

Whole milk would be a downgrade for Graeters. Stuff is literally the texture of cold, sweetened butter. 
 

Edit: and it ain’t cheap…like $18/gallon. But god is it good. It’s seriously the only vanilla ice cream I can eat plain. 

Sugar Butter is that what she calls you?😂

Pardon me for actually putting this thread back on topic, but here were the goings on at Chez Zline tonight. The annual spring ritual of adding, adjusting and tweaking my outdoor lighting. 
 

 

There’s 7 pathway lights, 2 wall-wash flood lights, 1 conventional diffused flood, 2 mini-spot lights, 4 fixed-beam spotlights, 5 adjustable beam width floodlights and 2 uplights , all powered by 2 150W transformers.
 

The two green marks are the two additions, which were the mini-spotlights. The yellow mark was an upgrade, from a fixed beam to an adjustable spot. 

Everything is low voltage (12V) LED, and everything is from Volt Lighting except the two up lights, which are WAC. 

The only other planned changes this year are the two new garage lights I almost have ready, which I’ll post about separately. I do want to add one downlight above the center of the garage door and a down light focused on the front door at some point, but…in time. 
 

Edit: yes, add this to the list of stuff I’m a geek about. 😂

Migrating birds probably hate you!

Among several complaints about my hearing aids the blue tooth music sucks! Best to play the music through speakers and let the aids amplify the needed frequencies!

Edit: may have to think about using them with jawbones though? Hmm..

I've had Graeters before.  Kicks every other ice-cream in the nuts 

I remember the first time I had Ice Cream in Russia it was like holy moly! I realized they used WHOLE milk maybe even unpasteurized?
