    For pure enjoyment, I encourage you to watch Calipari’s last postgame press conference. He is such a little weasel. He totally throws the team under the bus. Makes me miss Jimbo’s amazing postgame press conferences even more.

    As someone who thought I worked insane hours in advertising in NY, her job has been fairly astounding to us. She was a computer engineering major at Duke and interned at Morgan Stanley in NY two summers in school. Since graduation, she has been there full-time. The hours are like nothing we’ve ever seen. She will stay at her job (with a promotion in Aug) and has already accepted a job at another private equity firm & start in Aug of 2025. I have no understanding how the industry works as it seems to have its own unique structure, but perhaps all finance is like that. She has worked on some pretty cool deals, as well. I would encourage it, since your son can bank a lot of money and then be very valuable to so many different companies.

    Thanks so much. This is really helpful and I think you’re right. I will continue to check but I really appreciate your input. She’s 24 and already making some serious dosh and insanely, would be able to buy her own NYC condo outright in 2025. Investment banking is a brutal profession but the pay is just crazy.

    Yes. I live in on a compound in the Philippines and am forced by a Chinese mob to post in threads for a living. I get paid $.001 per post. Our conditions are horrible. Please help me.

    Thanks for the info. I think you’re right. Thinking it will be a condo. We used to live/own a co-op in NYC. I never really understood that we actually owned shares in the co-op, rather than the apartment. Hated selling it, but co-op rules required you to live in it for a year every two years. So we would try to time the sale/purchase for next Spring. Thanks again.

    I have a question for the real estate experts here. We own a second home in Lakeway that we currently rent. (It used to have lake views, lol, when there was a lake). Super-wiz NYC investment banker daughter wants to buy a condo in NYC. Can we sell the Lakeway property and use the money to help her purchase a condo in NYC and avoid capital gains taxes if she is the owner of the condo?

    Since we now seem to be starting threads of total randomness, here are some random facts that interest me: Though most people assume it is private university, William and Mary is a public university Frank Sinatra was considered a really good basketball player A man once lost his wedding ring in in the ocean off of Australia. Five months later, a snorkeler spotted a wedding ring attached to a fish, and retrieved it. Sure enough, it was the wedding ring and he returned it to the grateful owner.

    From The Athletic April 4th. concerning 'Ole Miss hiring a coach former players have accused of physical and sexual abuse: "Ole Miss shouldn’t be held up as a moral compass given it’s the same athletic department that hired Chris Beard, who was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence (felony domestic charges were ultimately dismissed), to coach its men’s basketball team and D.J. Durkin — after he was placed on administrative leave and fired by Maryland following the death of one of his players — to assistant coach its football team. McPhee-McCuin has difficult questions to answer about why Hillsman — three years removed from a resignation at Syracuse amid a third-party investigation that found “a concerning number of players and managers” who described “an unhealthy environment and culture” — was the right person for this job."

    "Mr. Terry, how are you enjoying this Iowa vs UConn women's basketball game?" "Yes, it is very interesting to watch. Why do the players keep taking shots but the shots go to other players on their team?" "Mr. Terry, that's called passing. They pass the ball to other players who are open, so their team can take a better shot." "Oh, so is that a rule in women's basketball that they have to make shots to their own players?" No, Mr. Terry, that's called strategy. Perhaps you should coach our players to pass to open players like that so we can take better shots. "By better shot, do you mean when the ball goes in the net?

    I literally just shared a Google link to a long list of articles from legitimate sources about how beloved Boggy Knight is.
  14. TreatyOak
    He may have been, but he's perceived very positively by a lot of people today: https://apnews.com/article/bob-knight-death-reaction-e547acda816aed5a5e04371febf59bb9 This reporter even said Bobby Knight was mean to him but it made him a better person, lol. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2023/11/02/bob-knight-texas-tech-reporter-memories/71418468007/ LA Times: "Loved and loathed' https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2023-11-01/bobby-knight-dead Lot more articles about his positive legacy here: https://www.google.com/search?q=bobby+kbight+loved+today&oq=bobby+kbight+loved+today+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIKCAEQABiABBiiBDIKCAIQABiABBiiBDIKCAMQABiiBBiJBTIKCAQQABiABBiiBNIBCTExNzE0ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#ip=1

    My wife, who knows nothing about college coaches (but a ton about HS coaches as she works with them every day) made the the point that women have a much shorter leash in all aspects of our society. As someone who worked in corporate America for my career, I have to agree with her. Women who made it to the top were seen as a "bad mom", "greedy," "short-fused," "bitchy," etc, while men were more perceived as "driven," "committed," "hard-working", "tough," etc. Bobby Knight was and is still mostly regarded in a very positive light precisely for possessing those characteristics. I'm not defending Kim Mulkey and I don't know her story, but I do enjoy all the barbs people throw at her. It was more a general observation about human nature and our society.
  17. TreatyOak
    Thinking the same. He was a major asshole but he was a great coach. It's very entertaining to watch asshole coaches get angrier and angrier as the game goes on. It was fun watching Kim make all these faces as things turned bad against Iowa. It was one of the highlights of the game. Plus, Greta Van Fleet (or whatever her name is) isn't bad to look at.

    I meet assholes all day! Everyone I work with is an asshole. Everyone my wife works with is an asshole.Everyone I deal with in stores is an asshole. Every one of my neighbors is an asshole. I've had terrible problems with every single one of them. No idea why I am so unlucky!
  19. TreatyOak
    LOL. So well done. I can't stop laughing.
  20. TreatyOak
    I hear you and I'm not defending Mulkey, as I don't know much about her. I'm just stating a general truth about human nature regarding men and women.

    My wife says there are two sets of standards for men and women coaches. She says when a man is a hard-nosed, mean SOB, people praise him for how tough he is and how he makes his players better with tough love, blah, blah, blah. She says when a woman coach acts exactly the same, people call her a nasty bitch who's angry and a monster. I think she's right.
  22. TreatyOak
    Yes, I was joking about her playing men's basketball. I was not joking about her court acumen being superior to many of our players and her team being better coached than the UT men's team.
  23. TreatyOak
    Can Caitlin Clark play four more years in college on a men's team? I watched her play last night to watch her shooting prowess and came away really impressed with her passing and decision-making. I'm no basketball expert but does it seem like she's a lot smarter than many of our players and that her team overall was better coached than UT?
