The composite is an aggregation (mean?) of many different computer rankings. IMO, that the composite ratings have UND at #6 is an indictment against many of them. Or evidence that not enough games "cross-pollinated" conference to conference or conference to independent. UND is getting credit for close "quality losses" against aTm (8) and Miami (9). And strong wins against opponents like Purdue (98), NC State (43), Arkansas (78), Boise (42), USC (15), BC (107) Navy (39), Pitt (37), Stanford (87), and Syracuse (106) helps, esp. with high margins. (all rankings are massey composite) Texas: Wins: SJSU (121), UTEP (132), SHSU (136), OU (10), UK (62), MSU (60), Vandy (14), Ark (79), aTm (8) Losses: tosu (2), UF (54), UGA (5) Margin of victory is definitely helping UND, while Texas' loss to UF is not that great.

I think the cost of doing business went down a little after portaling the girlfriend

Let he whose 21 year old version of yourself would not follow this young lady to her next college destination cast the first stone.

That might be the best picture of Ashley Dupree in all of the internets. L -> R :: Alix Earle, Cheryl Burke and Ashley Dupré, respectively. Now she's removed a letter and added an accent after retiring from her high dollar escort job. Earle is Dupre's stepdaughter. Earle's father (Dupre's husband) is a "wealthy construction executive" in New Jersey. I suspect he provides concrete for Tony Soprano.

Looked for a thread to share this on and figured this would be "good enough" Steve Smith (of Journey, Steps Ahead, and Vital Information) is on DrumEO playing drums to Alice In Chains's "Would?" The premise is that a famous drummer hears a drum-less track of a song they've never heard before. Think back to the first time you ever heard "Would?"

IIRC, Rolie left the band for burnout and family reasons. Pre-Cain, any ballad or slow song in his era had a blues and/or R&B feel to it. Cain is a douche, but its not clear many of their mega ballads from Escape and Frontiers are there w/o him. Everything on Escape is credited to Schon, Perry, and Cain, except "Who's Crying Now" and "Open Arms." Schon hated "Open Arms" until they played it live and the crowds went bananas. He also likes money, so it worked for him. IMO, every song on everything from Infinity to Escape holds up even today. Most of Frontiers does, but some of the hits got too much airplay. Hidden gems on Frontiers, IMO: "Edge of the Blade" and "Rubicon.

I'll also add myself to the list of pedants on this topic... Her salaries in 22-23, 23-24, and 24-25, respectively: $58025, $58025, $90000. 22-23 is the first FY she was employed by UM. 90000/58025 = 1.551. So she received a 55% salary increase from 2024 to 2025. Interesting that that she received 0% raises for a couple of years prior.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

Minter being on the list indicates the university administration is not quite ready for the colonic necessary for proper AD cleansing. My "safe choice" was somewhat tongue in cheek. And it indicates UM believes this might be the tip of the iceberg. -
And the script could have been provided to him had the AD, HR, PR, etc. teams collaborated on process. Hell, they could have actually worked out a resignation with small severance had they all planned something. "I violated UM code; I am resigning etc." The OnlyFans and Instagram stuff could have also been embarrassing for the university, but it would have been less of a circus. I am honestly surprised that no one in the UM admin took action to have him hide/delete/etc. his instagram. As noted a while back, he was publicly following 100s of young women, influencers, and OF models. Go "private" or use a burner account if you must

Minter was the Michigan DC 2022-2023 and is 1-0 as head coach, as he coached game 1 of the 2023 season while Harbaugh served his 3-game suspension. Minter is a safe choice. Seems competent and would know where the bodies are buried - and, therefore, know *not* where to dig. -

The folks at SunDevil Source are not great at geography. Lansing is almost 70 miles from Ann Arbor. They'd be better off flying into Ann Arbor or even DTW. -
So he could collect his entire $1.1mm salary - is how I read it. Or maybe as thanks to the Broncos for having him active for week 1 - allowing him to collect the full $1.1mm salary.

Diego Pavia - The Chihuahua that thinks he's a Mastiff

Or Drakkar Noir. I thought Mendoza's speech was fantastic. Selfless, thankful, gracious, and humble. For entertainment value, I would have loved to see/hear Pavia's speech. Probably would have focused on the haters... -
8-track - Rush - Hemispheres - bought at Gibsons in NW Austin. A Dollar General and Goodwill occupy that space now. 2nd was Pink Floyd The Wall Cassette - REO Speedwagon - High Infidelity CD - Rush - Moving Pictures I cannot recall my first LP or first download. Firsts being 2/3 Rush is coincidental. Buddy across the street from me had 2112 and Farewell. I bought Hemispheres blind to be cool. Was not disappointed. I figured Moving Pictures would be a great album to hear on CD. It was. When mp3 became popular, I ripped much of my decent sized CD collection for use on the cheapo 128M mp3 player I had. I did not download much on the original Itunes, as it was not portable. The early Amazon downloads were - and could be purchased for less. Looking at my Amazon history, I see LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver as my first download there.

Going to see Echo and the Bunnymen in May. It will be my ~6th time to see them. Most recently, in 2022, I saw them at ACL LIve (missed them in 2024 - traveling). As always, the music was spot on. Ian McCulloch's voice struggled at times. At one point, he surprisingly left the stage. Guitarist Will Sargent looks bemused and proceeds to lead a 10-15 minute jam session. McCulloch comes back on stage, mentions his back hurt and went off stage to get a quick massage. I am glad I got to see a show early in their tour, as I feared he'd wear out. Cautiously optimistic, but I cannot resist the nostalgia.
