I respect your take on most if not all topics, but you have to admit, the talent disparity on this team compared to last year is significant. You have one returning starter and the top hs player coming in is very similar positionally to Karaban. I think it will be quite the accomplishment if either of the teams in last year's championship game can get to the second weekend. For IU, if this year's team was coached by the UConn staff I think we would be a final 4 lock. I don't trust Woody with the bigs. If there was a case for throwing talent at it gets you to the 3rd weekend, this is that team, but.....smh.

I think I like Gonzaga to catch a couple of breaks and win it this year.

Not just a thing I said 8 (eight!!!!!!) ****ing years ago, but while ****ing paragraphs. Pages of conversation.

You can’t fight that. They’ll twist you into knots. I just let her win. And ignore it. Totally healthy.

Coming out of a martial tiff this evening.... Was told I was a 'shitty husband' in a rare moment of anger/truth.

It'll blow over tomorrow and I'll forget it ever happened. And definitely forget she ever said it.

But they never forget. They remember everything.... Like elephants. Any shitty thing I said 9 years ago, like it happened yesterday.... will pop back up. There's those one words that come out of your mouth and as soon as you say them you know your fkd for a good decade.

If I called her a 'shitty wife' might as well just bury myself now and write my own tombstone

'Here lies another shitty husband'

Me... I'll forget it ever happened by Monday.

We're doomed.

I have felt, for decades, that the majority of Russian people are a lot like most Americans were , conservative, Orthodox, independent, and victimized by murderous bolshevik scum.
Read Solzhenitsyn...
I cannot express enough what American military bullying throughout the world has done to our image ....our military industrial surveillance complex relentlessly propagandizes the American people into accepting, even supporting violent criminal acts and lawlessness by our government and her bribed and blackmailed actors.
There are a million dead in Ukraine. Israel is being decimated day by day. Your children are in grave danger, as are mine. My grandson is seven..my granddaughter is six months..
I had twelve of my guys killed in Vietnam...for NOTHING !
I want it to stop.
I won't relent.

I’ll concede. You don’t love Russia. But your stance on that war feels otherwise.

watch the arnold Schwarzenegger doc. it's great. and not aimed at you sweetsilence but he has a moment where he talks about the generations after him, i'm so sad, i'm so depressed, woe is me, and he says he has never and will never be that. go do something. run. lift weights. get a project. do something. anything. but stay too busy to worry about anything. keep going forward and keep yourself busy. pretty damn good advice

If a civil war is a violent war between two organized groups within the same country according to one definition, it
seems to me our Civil War fits this definition.

The January 6th attack may not fit this definition as it was haphazardly organized in my view.. Very much like the wave of violent demonstrations in the Summer of Love.

In my opinion Black Lives Matter was more of a slogan than a well organized group.

What Russia love is that?
Show me any post I've made wherein I showed any 'love' for Russia. Find one, I'll wait.
I'll make this offer:
Find ONE, and I'll ban myself for 30 days.

if you can't, you ban yourself for 30 days..

My education was just fine. Thanks. Literally no teacher or professor called our war for independence a civil war. But you do you man.

Then again you probably think the war in Ukraine is a civil war. Maybe that helps you justify your Russia love. Dunno.

Gents, I once again need to do this but only because it's my civic duty. This hurts me more than it hurts you but I would be doing the team a disservice if I didn't stay the course!!!

MSU - 5
IU - 4

This guy might pay a price in some way someday for his interview on The View.

Strong intelligent women don’t support or surround Trump. He makes this misogynistic statement while on The View.

I have been humble all season, but gotta say that the only thing that will make this game close is if IU has a letdown, or is looking forward to UM.

MSU cannot keep it close if IU is on their game.
