The taxes "spent" on that project were rebated sales taxes generated after the project was up and running. If you're going to come here laugh at and insult a worldview and religion you disagree with, at least stick to the facts. In my opinion, this crap has no more business in a sports forum than partisan politics. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you understood tax abatements you'd know that. You implied that Kentucky took tax receipts from general revenues to fund a private construction project. It took all of 10 ten minutes of Googling to determine that this was not even close to what happened...yet you're the smart one. In the interest of getting back on the subject of this thread, your team sucked this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that would have been the following year. I was talking the 83-84 season. For whatever reason we(my hs team) didn't receive tickets for the 84-85 season. Mark King was on both squads. He was a Whitko grad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 57 minutes ago, 5fouls said: Cornell University has shut down campus, including athletics, due to an Omicron outbreak on campus. Basketball season could be chaotic this winter. According to Cornell's online COVID-19 dashboard, 469 students tested positive for the virus as of Tuesday, and the university had an overall positivity rate of 3.01 percent of the week of Dec.6. In a letter to the student body, university president Martha Pollack said due to the closures, all end of the semester final exams will be moved online and all campus activities and athletics are canceled. The school libraries are closed as well. "While I want to provide reassurance that, to date, we have not seen severe illness in any of our infected students, we do have a role to play in reducing the spread of the disease in the broader community," Pollack wrote in her letter. "The fact that we have not experienced severe illness among our student population may lead some to ask why we are imposing such serious steps." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted December 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Found this tidbit this morning per CBS: • It took Purdue 380 weeks in the AP poll to finally get to No. 1. Here are the five programs with the most poll appearances without getting to the top: Maryland (433), Utah (239), Minnesota (236), LSU (216), Vanderbilt (204).

I am kind of surprised Maryland is on there, they have had some pretty good success through the years so i figured they would have hit #1 at least once.
