re: Aggies finally dominating a baseball game

ICU sometimes has a decent team. Beat Rice, UTSA, and Texas State this season, but have lost to a bunch of bad teams in conference. Guys padded their stats I guess

I'm betting Maryland has bigger NIL for basketball. They have much higher attendance at games. That has to translate to some more NIL from their "fans".

Somehow Buzz has now been at 4 schools that are basically lateral moves. Maybe some slight step ups in certain areas but not significantly.
Marquette, Virginia Tech, TAMU, Maryland. Very odd for a coach that hasn’t been pressured out or fired.
I read somewhere that he is paranoid about getting fired. He always leaves after 5/6 years. Gets a nice salary bump and a reset for another few years.

not sure how that would be "sticking it to you" - you guys voluntarily got rid of him. Now Ole Miss would for sure feel like they got stuck.

I cannot believe they play this in the Alamodome. It's a freaking barn.
Now SA is a fun town to visit for a day or two so you have that.

I'm guessing anyone who has fished saltwater with live/dead bait has landed a sea gull! Always fun when you are wading - trying to unwrap that bird from all the monofilament and release them.

re: Texas is dominating green energy, beating states where billion are invested.

SE of Richmond Texas there are huge solar instillations. I think a lot of them got severely damaged in a recent hailstorm. We have so much "green" energy because we have so much rural land, along with abundant wind and sun. That is the reason.

However, the Selection Committee was chaired by UNC's AD. He says he excused himself when the Tarheels were discussed. Does his presence alone influence anyone else's thinking?
well, considering he got a $68k bonus for the UNC basketball team making the tournament (with potential for higher bonuses if they actually move through the tourney), I think there is sufficient question about him being on that committee.

Driver. Hooking the crap out of it. As a lifetime slicer this is maddening. I cannot hit the ball to the right to save my life. Getting a lesson next week.
Think I’ve got the combo of reverse weight shift and flipping wrists. I can only hit a good drive if I take a 1/4 backswing and swing very easily. It gets me 200 yards - which honestly from the senior tees is not too bad. But I could be much better. A month ago I hit 70% of my drives in the fairway.. Now I’m like 20%.

re: As JPMorgan Chase enforces a 5-day RTO, staffers complain about too few desks, spotty Wi-F
Posted by MAROON on 3/11/25 at 2:14 pm
our HQ just moved to a new office in Manhattan, and they downsized the space (We're two days in the office and 3 days remote). They purposely took a smaller place with fewer desks. If by chance the entire HQ staff shows up on the same day then quite a few have to work in the lunchroom or go find a coffee shop down the street.
