OT: You Call a Press Conference, What's Your Announcement?

I have decided to forgo my job(s), wife, and kids to enter the NBA Draft in whenever the draft is. I have completed my GED, which from what I understand is the equivalent of completing a year of skewl at Kentuky while playing ball for Coach Cal. I'm currently looking for an agent, and I have decided that Magnus should be that agent. And he should wear orange so I can call him Agent Orange. If I'm drafted in the lottery I will contribute all of my salary to new MGoServers for Brian. 

Thanks I'll hang up and listen.

 

 

*What childish fancies do you lads still have?? 

 

Mod edit: Changed the title because there probably will be a pretty big announcement sometime today. Sorry if that kills part of the joke, but even joke titles need to be somewhat informative. JGB.

I'm not sure that I would title a thread "OT: Major Announcment" today unless there is some real news, other than the bars opening earlier than normal for someone.

Edit:  With the change in title, my objections are mediated.

some expectation of a big announcement of some sort today?  Honest question...outside of the Te'o stuff I can't think of anything.  Perhaps I am what the French would call 'les incompetent.'

I don't have any inside information, especially nothing that would be great news (sadly). I'm pretty sure there's at least one Te'o related press conference scheduled for the next couple hours, though, and that qualifies as a "big announcement" judging by the number of comments and views the threads have gotten. HOWEVA...

I am now officially able to announce that I've begun eating a late lunch of leftover spaghetti along with a bagel I've spread butter on, sprinkled garlic powder over, and covered in taco cheese. I've been authorized to share with MGoBoard at large that this meal is, in fact, delicious.

I put the butter and garlic on, put it in the oven on broiler, take them out and sprinkle the shredded cheese on and put them back in until its melted.

The knee is more or less fine. My doctor doesn't want me using the crutches or anything, and aisde from being stiff and sometimes sore it's not bad. My problem is how weak my left quad is; I thought I could be on a stationary bike by late next week, but between not running for nearly three months now and the surgery, even walking to and from class or inside Target is enough to make me tired.

Only certain stops. For example there's a reason that one on the 10 line is called "Jussieu" cause it is juicy down there. And something about Chatelet-Les Halles makes you feel like you're approaching the bowels of hell--as in literally--as in where hell's dumps come from.
