It's kind of crazy to me how unknown the Wagner Group is here in the US(It was even a triple-stumper on the Jeopardy Masters tournament) given the impact they have in places like Syria and multiple countries in Africa.
Many doctors at the time had started to adopt it. Garfield's doctor was both of an older school and staunchly territorial in terms of protecting his prestige as the President's doctor.
The bed spring story is only partly true. Bell was only permitted to search the right side of Garfield's chest where his doctor insisted the bullet was lodged, and not the left side of his chest where the bullet actually was.
I would actually disagree with that. Our LL has three levels of play-- in-house rec league, an intermediate league(A-level younger players/B-level older players), and a more advanced travel league. Every single issue/incident I can recall has come from the in-house rec league.
At the top level, you'll run into the occasional parent or group of parents that takes things a little too seriously or gripes a little too loudly about a call, but for the most part, they get how things work. A lot of the idiot coaches get weeded out of the system by that point as well--again, with a few exceptions.
The in-house league draws from a...wider swath of humanity, and you get a lot of idiots that don't really get how things work and think they can behave like it's a pro sporting event.
Frozen Four is a vacation for a lot of college hockey fans. Tampa does quite well. 2019 in Buffalo was a disaster, 2020 in Detroit was heading towards a major disaster before Covid bailed them out.
They won as much as anyone for a decade and people here still griped constantly that they wanted to get recruits like the teams that didn't win as much were getting. They got what they wanted.
Mercury Hayes game-winning TD vs. Virginia, directly preceded by Tyrone Butterfield wisely dropping his eighth pass of the game to stop the clock the play before.
In Europe, yesterday's date of February 10 is expressed as 10/2. 10/2 is of course where you should always keep your hands on the steering wheel while driving, while also using good Cooper tires. Road safety is very important.
The better question is what can they actually do? We treat them like some wealthy, powerful monolith, but the truth is, the money that they have pales in comparison to what individual schools are now willing to throw at their problems. It's very tough to regulate someone with more power than you have.
Penn State was really a turning point. A lot of people realized there are only so many billable hours to lawyers the NCAA is willing to commit to any problem, and if you outspend that, you can get away with just about anything.
Very much appreciate what he has done at Michigan, but Harbaugh actually seems weird enough to be the type of person that answers a phone call from a number he doesn't recognize.
No, I would assume MHJ or Slade have received speeding tickets in the past and don't fucking care because I'm not searching for an excuse to suspend them.
Ever since the NCAA switched to hosting the Final Four in indoor football stadiums, there are only about 8-10 options out there for hosting a Final Four.
The X variable in your example, for an out-of-state student at Michigan is $75K, based on Michigan's estimates for tuition/housing/meals/books/misc. So 4X would be 300K, for one player, for one year.
I know there are some stupidly wealthy people that love to spend money on stupid stuff, but investing $1.2M over four years with zero money coming back in return, just so a team can go from 85 scholarships to 86? I can't see that becoming an epidemic in college football.
Cost of tuition is far from nominal, especially for the 86th player on the roster.
That said, there's a strong feeling that in the near future, individual conferences will be deciding their own rules and scholarship limits may become a thing of the past.
That's the real problem with reviews: The amount of time it takes between the viewer at home seeing an obvious and conclusive replay and the official finally making the call, which as mentioned, often takes a good 3-5 minutes of downtime because the replay procedure is so asinine.
Just put an extra official up in the booth in charge of watching replays, let them make the call and then headset down to the ref. Should take take no more than 30 seconds in most cases.
This stuff always makes me think of that Twitter account that spent seven years(!) counting down towards a Penn State/LSU non-conference game......only to have that game cancelled due to Covid.
Saying he gave him a place to live rent free leaves out the context that Pearson begged him to come take an unpaid volunteer job in the middle of nowhere.
If we want to start playing the 'What If' game, Michigan ended up +2 in turnover margin because they recovered two JJ fumbles, Maryland barely went out of bounds on apotential pick, and Michigan had two interceptions that probably would have been overturned if they had reviewed them.
Luck was definitely on their side today, but a win is a win.
The benefit for the White Sox would seem to be that they share a city with a baseball team that currently has enormous popularity, but is run by ownership that seems to be actively trying to erode away whatever local goodwill they have and would probably poison the town's water supply if it meant making an extra $5 in profit. Sponsoring local athletes, or really anything short of being an actual Nazi, presents them as a better alternative to the Ricketts family.

OSU has a women's hockey national title while Michigan can't even field a team.

I always thought Hunter Dickinson ran like Raquel Welch.

Oh hey, terrific. The first game on a new platform against a small school from North Carolina. What could possibly go wrong there?
If you think people commit to youth sports simply in hopes of getting a scholarship, you may be the one missing the point.

It's 2023, and I'd hope by now we're all grown up enough to stop pretending that smoking weed is a character issue.
Someone should ask Ol' Keith what he thinks about all of this stuff.
Technically, he got this on Sunday since Penrose finalists are conference Coach of the Year winners and the four coaches to make the Frozen Four.

Widely reported that he was in the running and a top candidate. This is saying that's pretty close to official.
What did Keith post on his Insta today?
Yes, but his pizza reviews helped a lot of small businesses.

So what you're saying is that he should have been suspended for a speeding ticket?
Maybe just lower stakes involved, but I don't recall anyone complaining about Emoni playing against UM a couple weeks ago.
Josh Gattis will be available.

I believe Kevin Warren does care about all of that stuff. It's just that he could absolutely not give less of a shit about hockey.
If we're being honest, Sparty already got their bowl win, which was Blake Corum getting injured.
I hope DJ Horne requested those non-refundable, non-transferable sons of bitches.
The flu was going through Minnesota's team this week too, though nothing as serious as this.
I audibly gasped at the Iowa/Minnesota O/U line.
I'm also fascinated by the Big Ten West as Bosnian Assassination Team metaphor. Scott Frost was clearly Nedeljko Cabrinovic.
But also, they could…
Same.
But also, they could wear maternity shorts like Adidas made the basketball team wear a few years ago for all I care as long as they win.
Going great for them, by the way.
40% of that group has already failed at owning a pro sports team.

Hopefully Michigan's Dr. O has murdered way fewer dogs.

Amazing that it has been 25 years and the guy that called that play on TV is still going strong.
That's actually hilarious that the turtle died in less than a year.

One anecdote, completely uncorroborated, from a known liar.

Spain needs to be put back in its' place.
People forget this. That's why the women's cross country coach makes exactly as much as Jim Harbaugh.
He's the rare negative-five star recruit as an offensive lineman.
