Is the president a pedophile, protecting a ring of similarly rich and powerful pedophiles and protected by them in turn? Yes! Do Pete Hegseth's Nazi tattoos and Elon Musk's Nazi salute indicate they're Nazis? Yes! Would Kristi Noem shoot a human like she shot her dog? Yes! They are ALWAYS that bad!

Rodger, would Northwestern be the college hoops equivalent of this? Can't think of anyone else. Other bad hoops programs have had some sustained periods of success (Vandy, DePaul). Maybe I am forgetting someone.

Oh cmon there are shows every year now that are absolutely made for a very specific audience of about 15 tv critics and/or podcasters.

That is wild to think about.
On a side note IMO it has a legit case as the single greatest tv drama ever, in that its truly an all-time great as both a procedural and serialized show.

Having a hard time hearing the proper cadence for that chant in my head. A 'you' after the 'uck' and it flows perfectly.

You're welcome. Both them and The National I literally never get sick of listening to.

Frightened Rabbit! Just listen to the first 2 songs on their final album Painting of a Panic Attack. If you like those 2, you'll find plenty of others too. Tons of b sides, one offs to discover, 3 eps as well. My number 1 band this century, The National number 2.

No I definitely have not noticed. And my complaints about the Dems are about the last 35 years, not just the present day. New School/3rd way has been a catastrophic failure. Time to go back. I'll never be a republican but i did change from Dem to Ind after '24.

Shes awful (racist, blaming immigrants for everything etc) but she is clearly more sincerely concerned with affordability and other 'kitchen table issues' etc. than the Democrats are.

Not remotely close to either.

7. And if they add 2 expansion teams, obviously you go 8 groups of 4 so itd be 18 group stage games (3H/3A vs the other 3 teams in your group).
Or 4 groups of 8 for 14 games (1H/1A) vs 7 opponents on your group. I guess it could be 21 games but then H/A split isn't even.
8 of 4 better IMO.

Everyone loved Coldplay until the joke in 40yr Old Virgin. I think that was the movie. First 4 albums all great.

Joy? I guess I'll have to go with the fact that both A Frightened Rabbit EP and the single Today's Cross both finally available to stream this year. 4 great songs.

And yes I know this won't happen. And I'm sure its been thought of before. But it's better than the current setup. Makes the Cup better, creates rivalries potentially, gives the regular season way more meaning and keeps the Playoffs as great as ever.

And the 58-game regular season is something many people want (albeit many would rather have no Cup in addition). But winning this absolutely worthy of pride, celebrating and banner.
And I dont need to sell anyone on the greatness of the NBA Playoffs.

With this setup, you get 3 distincts parts of the season. The Cup becomes very easy to follow, creates rivalries bc you'd play your group opponents 6 times vs 2 for other teams,and let's teams ease into regular season.
But teams still have to take it seriously bc they count 4 playoff seeding

So all teams play between 68-72 or 78-82 games depending on if you went with 10 or 20 games in the group stage of the Cup.
Then you have you have your normal 4-round best-of-7 NBA Playoffs. Seeding based on COMBINED record of Cup group play and 58 game regular season.
