They're going to play the Nebraska Boys State Basketball tournament with no fans after the 5th instate case played in the Girls Tournament last week.

Outbreak in 2-4 weeks in Nebraska?
Well with allergy season coming quick, we may not be able to tell the difference if it doesn’t. Hopefully it doesn’t run through the VFW, because I don’t think those guys are the best candidates for doing we with it if it is an outbreak

The Omaha case participated in a basketball tournament in a local town of about 25k, then hit the VFW, and maybe a nursing home. One of the local high schools then made the state girls basketball finals, playing in three arenas in town, including where Nebraska plays although the home schedule is at least over

I’m betting this is one of the cases where a kid never knows when to shut the fuck up, and the reason he’s that way is because of his parents

I would of figured that GE would have beaten him to the grave given how things are going for them.

As someone who attended a regionally well regarded Private Liberal Arts school in the early 2000's, I'll contribute a few observations. All the theater majors I knew all do pretty well for themselves excepting the ones with crippling substance abuse problems, with all them making a living with their technical skills, not acting. E.g one runs lights for major tours, another coordinates production things at Disney etc, another builds specialty props for movies and whatnot, but the degree gave them networking and experience.
Secondly while my school was expensive for the Midwest on paper, the merit scholarships made it the same as going to the instate flagship. I went that way because I could easily double major in Poli Sci, and Religious studies with a double minor in history and philosophy and be done in 4 years while doing a bunch of other stuff, and it was a wet campus. The bulk of my student debt was taking a year of law school to figure out I sure as fuck didn't want to be a lawyer. I pivoted to getting a Master's in Ag Econ that was fully funded, and a commodity broker/cattle producer. Now the same school charges a significant premium to the flagship, even with significant merit aid, and they have added a bunch of sports and other activities along with administrators that cost a lot more than just letting students entertain themselves by being a wet campus and having the basic extra-curriculars. Both ways the less achieving kids from better off families pay most of the freight.
In my experience, the real student loan train wrecks come from the people that pursued graduate degrees that weren't funded and didn't finish. While trades are important, and can certainly provide a great living, we also undersell that many of them are hard as hell on your body, and that much of the upside is in running your own business in the said trade, which is distinctly not for everybody in skill, temperament, risk, and hours.
In conclusion, if the government and society is happy to soak up risk for many big business and set them up for easy success, maybe doing the same for citizens as they come of age might yield dividends as well.

I suppose it's a win for Sparty if he wasn't fucking anyone or anything he wasn't supposed to.

When are they going to bury Bryant?
Is this a case where you can do more than set a headstone?

Some folks just can't resist clinging on to pointless measures of control in order for themselves to feel something since they've long since became dead inside.

I don't think any of them have quit since Gil Meche.
I guess since it sounds like Gordon will be back, you’re right

In general, I’d just assume more Royals quit.

Dude... he's an idiot if he accepts his coaching staff being dictated to him.
Well, he’s willingly involving himself with Baylor so being an idiot is a pretty safe bet

My fuck up cousins, that joined the Marines promptly became fuck up Marines, were invited to return to civilian life where they continued to be fuck ups. They love their guns and Trump though, just not showing up to work, or if they do keeping their mouth shut.

We’re going to see pictures of American Aircrews drug through the streets of Tehran, aren’t we?

why does a college coach on a 10 year contract take an NFL job where they cut your throat very quickly? The annual money is about the same too, right?
I suppose getting to deal with adults and one owner, and not having to kiss the ass of teenagers and boosters has a lot to do with it.

Kinda disingenuous to keep United in the name, but I guess what remains is united.
Well the United was placed in the name to acknowledge the United Brethren that Methodists had merged with, so it makes sense to keep it because presumably some of the Brethern line will be staying with them.

Missle silos?
/tinfoilhat
Most of the active silos are a little north of the droned area so far, have to get up towards Scottsbluff. It’s a experience to meet an Air Force convoy going through that area.

Games going to be about 2 hours long, with maybe 15 combined passes. Should be fun.

I’ve gotten up early to go back early to take my Grandma to Christmas morning services every year since my Grandpa passed in 2009 so she has someone to go with since I live the closest relatively speaking.

Sounds like my wife's cousin. But at least she moved on to get knocked up by some dude in rehab with her.
That’s probably on the table here at some point. The current theory is that she’s squatting in her uncle’s house while he’s a guest of the state for bit. I think the upshot is that he legally adopted the older girl, so the kids can stay together with him instead of sending the older one into the system

Did find out why my nephews new wife wasn’t at the first Christmas this weekend, apparently she went on a full bender, tried to choke her 3 year old out, cleaned out their checking account, while he now has a full restraining order against her, although no one is sure where she now is, while he starts divorce proceedings.

Finally saw it this afternoon. Was it fun enough in the theatre? Sure. Did I stay through the whole credits just far the music? Yes. Am I interested in ever seeing another JJ Abrams movie again? Not really. I think at the end of the day, there wasn’t enough new stuff brought into the sequel trilogy to go anywhere interesting, be it depth to new characters or growth from old ones, or any sort of sensible consistency to the rules of the galaxy that it took place in. But it was fun enough to see on the big screen once

Isn't the most logical thing to do now is just to go on TV and say we've fucked this up so far, but from here on out there's a blank check for public health, and we're going to do whatever it takes to get ahead of it. If we need to roll out Army field hospitals, we will do it., need to deploy the Corps and CB's to build stuff, we'll do it, etc.
