Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Anyone catch the first episode of "True Detective" (with Jodie Foster) last night? Seems like it could be good...but the "police work" stuff is remarkably cliched. Lots of lines that you'd hear in any other police procedural, included a "You're off the case!" I did. I ...

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
Terps take down Illinois away. The turtles decide to go inside (Which is a good idea when your team shoots like garbage...especially from the 3). But they really looked good defensively. Just committed to the half-court defense and Illinois looked slow to make decisions.

I've never had a problem with the Dead's music. But, I was never a fan of Deadhead culture. So, I wonder if that culture is a part of a Grateful Dead tribute band experience? Feel like the culture would be more tied to the Jam Bands (Widespread, Goose, Moe, etc) and Dead spinoffs (Dead & Co) th...

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
I don't think fans learning new players matters all that much. You're rooting for the shirts at an even more extreme level than with the pros. While that may get you in the door, having a few years with players build connection and interest over just looking up the score. I follow the Terps (nice 1...
