Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
I don't know how closely the tournaments all work together, but if they set the NIT as an autobid for next year it would probably stop teams from backing out or not caring. I think that's a bad idea though. Teams change a lot from year to year, especially now with the new transfer rules. Why would ...

Yeah, I think it works. Ironically, that's the one song she takes no songwriting credit for even though she clearly rewrote most of it.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 11:07 am I like that Beyonce is warning Jolene instead of begging Jolene.

Re: Getting the spins
I'm on my second go through of Beyonce's new album. I like it, but I think calling it a country album is reductive. There are some country influences throughout, but if nobody told you ahead of time you were going to listen to a country album, I doubt many would think of it that way. BTW, one thing ...

Pretty unlikely to find snakes in the mountains this time of year, I’d think. Probably too early. (Although the high here today is supposed to be 87), so maybe I’m wrong.

Yeah, that was an impressive shooting performance, particularly in the 3rd, by Clark. I agree that Reece’s 5th foul was a bad call, but it didn’t really matter at that point. LSU wasn’t coming back. Btw, I don’t agree that Reece is close behind Clark. I’m not even sure she’s the best player in her o...

I was reading about Beyonce's interpretation of Jolene when I learned about this song. I'd never heard of it before, but it's great and hilarious. And from 1968.

I just love that the ad also features CJ McCollum who famously led Lehigh to a huge upset of Duke in the NCAA Tournament. I like to think K had no idea they were going to do that until he saw the commercial on TV the first time.

Toasted ravioli is quite good, but it's not really something to base a meal around. More of an appetizer. And there used to be quite a few good Italian restaurants on The Hill. And one or two very good high-end restaurants down near the river.

Re: The Baltimore Key Bridge collapse on 695
That's some truly incredible video. When you see how easily it collapsed, it's a wonder it doesn't happen more often. How many ships pass under how many bridges around the world every day? I'm guessing the collapse wasn't related to any prior bridge damage or degeneration, but maybe I'm wrong.
