Wait 'til Otis sees us... HE LOVES US!! I had no business seeing Animal House as young as I did... But it sure made quite an impression on me as a tween.

Otis Redding was 26 when he died. Huh, I always pictured him as an old man. Same! I recently asked my Alexa to play Otis Redding, and it plays some strange Japanese video game style music (Otatari?..old Atari?

Joe Dombrowski (who I think I raced against in a local MTB race when he was a kid) has retired. 14x Grand Tour racer (22nd in the Giro was his best finish), won a Tour of Utah and lots of other laurels.

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.
