  1. Back in the 80s, one of my friend's dad had a movie that sounds similar to this. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128611/
  2. My dad was born and raised in Bloomington. I was wearing IU gear since I was a toddler. We had great talks about IU football last year, I never thought we could top that. I just called him, he was asleep LOL. He's 78 and couldn't stay awake. I'm about to drop a bunch of $$$ on B1G champs gear. I don't give a fuck. This may never happen again. I'm gonna buy my grandkids some stuff, too. I cannot act like I've been there before, because I have not.
  3. Someone hung a 5 foot tall wreath in the hallway at my office. Whenever I leave to go to the bathroom or something, I see this thing in the corner of my eye and it looks like there's a guy, leaning against the wall like some 50's hoodlum. There's not a lot of traffic in this hallway, so it catches me off guard. Like, how did this MF get in? And then I realize it's that fucking wreath.
  4. Oh, the drains. Yeah, she had them after the mastectomy. Yes, I drained them every time she needed it, logged the amount of fluid I took out from each side, and I made sure to swab the fuck out of them with alcohol wipes. She hates the damn things. She got them out on Tuesday but the reconstruction is next Tuesday, so she'll only get a week's worth of relief. She said the drains have been the worst part of this whole thing, by far.
  5. We went to my wife's follow up appointment, got the pathology reports. All clear, they got all of it out during surgery (not that there was much to take out). Also the lymph nodes were clear, nothing to see there. No chemo, no radiation. We will have a visit with the oncologist to discuss hormone therapy, but that will be after the reconstruction is done. I want to feel relieved but I can't just yet, this whole thing happened so fast. I think I might be on edge for a while.
  6. My kids are grown and out of the house, one in another state. Both have kids of their own. My sister has been making some comments about how it isn't fair that they don't get to see my grandkids, and how my dad isn't doing well, blah blah. My sister's kids are losers and don't have (and will never have) kids of their own, which means my grandchildren are the closest she's ever going to get. I have told her and my dad that I can't control where my kids are on Christmas or thanksgiving or whatever holiday. We either have to have multiple get togethers or go without. Nobody wins and I have to hear about it.
  7. Something tells me Cyclone Larry isn't going to feel very giddy in a few hours.
  8. I flew into Midway once, in the 90s. The whole place smelled like piss. /csb

    I take the tube from the airport but when it's time to leave, I Uber to the airport. Never had a problem.

    I'm pretty sure when Saban left Michigan State to go to LSU, he told his staff they could come too, and they all said no.

    Not to be a pedant, but the Michigan tourney win predates the fab five. Those stupid fucks never even won the Big Ten, much less an NCAA title.
  12. Saw a comment on reddit that Ole Miss gave all of the coaches a raise to stay, so the only guys leaving with Lane are the GM and the strength coach.
  13. Because Morris saw the last guy hang out for 20 years with only 1 conference title. Just win 8-10 games a year and you can do whatever the fuck you want, while making 7-8 million a year.
  14. About a month ago, my wife found out she has breast cancer. We freaked out, of course. But after meeting with doctors, it turned out that she had the best case senario. It was confined to a milk duct and it was detected at the earliest possible time. My wife's family history with cancer is horrible, so she's been doing mammograms and MRIs on a strict schedule, and it was caught. It is what they call "Stage Zero". No chemo or radiation. However, if she chose to just do a lumpectomy, her chances of getting it again in the next 10 years would be 30%, because of her genetic make up. She had genetic testing done years ago. A double mastectomy put her at 1-3%. She opted for the double, I can't blame her. The surgery was monday and it was a great success. She goes back in a couple of weeks for the reconstruction. And yes, she's getting the upgrayyyyed. I've been keeping it together, for the most part. When it comes to big emotions, I'm a bottler. I'm sure it will get out one day, maybe soon. She always tries to get me to "let it out" but I fight it. Just instinct, I guess. I didn't have a bad childhood, where I wasn't allowed to be emotional. I don't know why I'm this way. She's already back to her old self, other than soreness. It's great to see.
  15. The Pistols Firing podcast said OSU told Golesh the offer and he kind of slow played it, wanted to see how the other jobs would shake out. OSU said "Good luck" and pivoted hard to Morris.
  16. A guy that covers ou for On3 (George Stoia) said on his postgame podcast that Morris to OSU was a done deal. Also said it should be announced in the next 10 days or so. I didn't personally listen to it (because fuck ou) but my friend told me.
  17. Golesh, Morris and ZRob have all interviewed, according to reports. Golesh and Morris are said to have knocked it out of the park, ZRob not so much.
  18. There are rumors that Knowles is looking to go back to Oklahoma State. His new, much younger wife is an OK native and wants to get back home.
  19. Then we're perfect for each other!
  20. I'm more than a decade older than her, so I ain't scurred. I'll even teach her a thing or two.
