IUFLA

Joe Charboneau was an elite baseball player 🙂

It's a start 🙂 

Couple of Buckeyes find new homes...

Felix Okpara to Tennessee 

Scottie Middleton to Seton Hall

Very excited for this to happen, so I can found out what new holes Goodman will find in the roster.

That'll bring "need a backup big!" and "fill that 13th scholarship!" center stage...

Well, only goes to prove that you can't believe everything you read on X...

Don't get much more sourced than that 🙂

Since we're on the topic of Old Country Buffet. Here's a video of what Zach Edey would watch if he was under 7 feet tall. 

 

I find it hard to believe I haven't seen that carving kid in any blockbuster movies

I'm getting the idea that you don't trust the McCaskeys. 🤣

Not a bit...as you said, Bears football front office common sense died with Muggs...

Can teams really do that in the NFL though? They have both a salary floor and salary cap, unlike MLB. 

True, but teams can and do manipulate the numbers...and I'm sure the McCaskeys hire experts in that field...

The concept art looks super cool, that is for sure.

So my fear is the McCaskeys go on the cheap for the on the field product (wouldn't be the first time) like Ricketts did for the Cubs to recoup that money and play poor knowing the faithful Bears fans will still show up, just like the Cub fans did...

They are asking taxpayers to pay half I believe…not sure that will fly. I am glad to get rid of the UFO toilet stadium whatever they end up doing.

I read that ownership is paying $2 billion, a $300 million loan from the NFL, and $900 million comes from the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority (i.e. taxpayers)...The Bears are saying they'll pay 72%...

Bears fans, did y'all see this?

The staff snuck one in yesterday 🙂

Andres Galaragga was my favorite.

Oh, that was hilarious...took about 30 seconds for Harry to get out too...

I bet his score sheet was soaked after that 🙂

That final moment. After, maybe even a life time of confrontation, when both warriors agree. "we both have lines.

i'll respect yours, You respect mine. Deal partner " ?

They both know that the other is a worthy opponent (earned respect), 

which make them a much better, friend !

 

This pic I found on the webz, just simple ...... calms me. I've been an "urgent" idiot horse owner. Also a passive goat father that 20 minutes in the pasture.......  Totally changed my outlook on kife. 

But this pic, to me, is... I will die for you.... Yep and me for you. They have found that perfect balance. 

 

For those who have no clue about horses. That is one very well built and intelligent equine. May have a few extra lbs, but beautiful Buck skin. And ALLLLL attention is on her/his buddy, there was zero give a shits about anything else around, ZERO of them because. She knew she had back up also looking for threats.  

You saddle jockies will know what I'm talking about.

 

 

That's gotta be a mare...a gelding would be sizing him up for sex even though he's short on performance...and a stallion, well, let's just say I wouldn't be in the same paddock with one of those crazy dudes...

Amazing...

I saw that name and thought "Fisch is going to sound like Harry Caray after a 12 pack trying to pronounce that" 😂

And once Harry butchered it, he'd try to pronounce it backwards

Question #2 - What is Purdue's elite sport? 

It WAS women's basketball...that's the most significant National Championship they've won...

But sadly, that train has derailed as well...

110...Had a pretty good one going until I forgot Yogi Berra had played a handful of games for the Mets at the end of his career ☹️ 

And a little somber remembrance too with Steve Olin and Bob Ojeda...couldn't work Tim Crews in, but was thinking about that awful day over 30 years ago for some reason this morning...
