Appreciator of prime numbers. I write about Notre Dame & college football.
Loved Jordan when I was a kid but not so much the Bulls. Jordan retired first time and Reggie became my guy and Pacers my team.

Loved all of it. Except the heartbreak.

94 blowing 3-2 lead vs Knicks.
98 losing late tip and blowing 12 pt lead to Bulls.
Grandmama 4pt play in 99…

Was previously unfamiliar with much about the ULine brand but I can only imagine working there is like taking a time machine to an 1890’s world that features more advanced technology.

ACC basketball used to get me through the winter. Now it’s a glorified Mid Major.

If your bracket is all 1’s and 2’s in the Elite Eight you are a boring individual.

Remember: No good deed actually counts as one unless you tell as many others as possible about it.
I went to the store today and an elderly woman was putting back food because she didn’t have enough at the check out

I asked her if I could please buy her stuff for her

She let me, it was about 20 bucks and I was glad to do it

Might not seem like much but the difference in playing in the 6-11 game vs the 7-10 in NCAA Tournament is historically quite large:

No matter how much football changes, some things always remain true.

Just like chess - control the middle of the board, protect your king and pressure the other guys. Do that and you’re probably in good shape.

Can’t help but really like this Bears offseason quite a bit so far.

If you are wearing an Oakland A’s hat in the grocery store and I say “Sell the team!” to you - if you look at my weird then you shouldn’t be wearing the hat.

If you’re watching Notre Dame-Stanford and a loved one isn’t playing or you’re not being compensated then you should probably seek help.

This is certainly a college basketball game that is being played.
