  1. ...will you start following, hating, making fun of, SEC teams more than BIG12 teams?  For instance, will you be more interested in the success or failure of Auburn, Arky, Miss St, and Vandy  than Baylor, TCU, Tech and UH?

    Or will proximity bias still tie you to regional teams rather than conference teams?

    I live in Nashville so the Texas teams don't mean shit to me other than how they affect the success of TEXAS athletics and now they don't so I don't give a shit at all.

    Thoughts?

    My surgeon said, “Ubet, I know I told you that Laparoscopic surgery doesn’t leave scars - but when you’re feeling less woozy you’ll see there’s a large horizontal scar on your right abdomen.”

    ” That cancer tumor was so large I’m amazed you were even able to take a crap. I almost slapped it on the bottom and gave it a name.” 

     

    Those colorectal surgeons (aka, proctologists) do have a sense of humor.  When mine visited me the day after the surgery, he asked me if I wanted to see the cancer.  I said I didn't think so.  He said "yes you do" and pulled out his iphone and showed me a picture of the tumor.  I got a big ole scar too even though he did it laparoscopically.  Can't safely pull that shit through those little holes.

  3. Not to scare you or anything, but I had my first coloscopy at 50 and when I woke up from the procedure, the GI doc showed me a picture and said "I don't know what this is, but it's got to come out".  Based on the picture, I knew it was cancer.  Got it cut out two weeks later and was staged as stage 1.  I was very lucky that I got the coloscopy when I did as the tumor has not penetrated the muscle wall yet.  I get a colonoscopy every 3 years now.  I ask the GI doc for a discount since I'm now missing my ascending colon.  She says "no".

    I have it on good authority you get the same treatment for stage 3 colon as well.

    And the docs take one look at colon cancer in a scope before surgery and go, "yup, that's probably cancer."  So probably not colorectal.

    Yeah, I kinda thought of that after I posted.  You're probably right.

    Yeah....one of the advantages of being the crown prince.  Harry could indulge in the dirty.  Remember his time with Chelsy Davy, of Zimbabwe?

    Harry remembers.  He had that grin on his face their entire relationship.  And I doubt that it was solely because Chelsy was fun to play Scrabble with.

    She sure is a light colored black woman.  I hear he likes that.

    A former Tennessee Titans scout is charged with two counts of first-degree murder after the poisoning deaths last year of his girlfriend and her unborn baby.

    Blaise A. Taylor, 27, was arrested by United States Marshals in Utah this week after a Nashville grand jury returned an indictment against him Wednesday.

    The charges against Taylor stem from Feb. 25, 2023, when Taylor called 911 at 9:38 p.m. to report that his girlfriend, Jade Benning, 25, appeared to be having an allergic reaction and asked for paramedics, Metro Nashville police said.

    Benning was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where she remained hospitalized until her death a little more than a week later, on March 6.

     

    The unborn child died on Feb. 27.

    Investigators said they were unable to interview Benning before her death.

    After months of investigation by police, crime lab scientists and the medical examiner, it was determined that Benning had been "poisoned without her knowledge," after Taylor visited her apartment, police said in a news release Friday.

     

    Taylor worked as a scout with the Tennessee Titans for four years after he played as defensive back at Arkansas State from 2014-17.

    He was hired by Texas A&M's defensive staff on March 6, where his father Trooper Taylor serves as the running backs coach, after he served as a defensive analyst at Utah State.
