After the Oscars event this was the main fear comedians had going forward.

Here's a pretty good article on Pyne who hails from Greene County and played at Linton-Stockton.

I don’t watch much NBA ball, but saw Ja Morant play recently and it hit me — this is who Ivey from PU is trying to play like. Dribbles like him, wildly drives like him, passes like him, and even tries to look like him. Unfortunately, he’s not Ja Morant.

Some video highlights from Keegan on Gabe Cupps at the Bill Hensley Run N Slam this past weekend.

hopefully they move away from Fox sports, but with the SEC being locked up by ESPN, it seems unlikely.
As is the Big Ten doesn’t get the same coverage as the ACC or SEC from ESPN Talking Heads or media members
In general I find that FS one and Fox broadcasts to have lower quality.

At least in what I noticed last season, many of the FS1 broadcasts maxed at 720p

I would say Juwan isn't the role model he should be, ya think?

Anyone believe they will actually do something constructive? I don’t.

Rivals national writer Rob Cassidy takes a look at the Xavier Booker recruitment.

I would move Indiana down a line here. But regardless I think Michigan State has a solid hold on this recruitment at the moment

Sitting outside in DC, eating at a Peruvian restaurant, drinking pisco sours. Started with ceviche aji amarillo. Unbelievable.
Waiting on my pescado a lo macho. I could get used to this. Just wish the jackhammers would stop. It’s f$&king 8 at night!

IU Coach Mike Woodson To Hold Two Basketball Camps This Summer

If you know the story of how Indiana basketball coach Mike Woodson began his journey with the Hoosier program, you know that it began with attending a summer camp that was put on by Hall of Fame Coach Bob Knight. The youngster from Indianapolis had a chance to make an impression for the first time with his long-time mentor and thus a near half-century relationship began.

“One of the biggest thrills of my life was winning a contest at Coach Knight’s camp and being given a t-shirt for doing so,” noted the Hoosiers second-year coach. “After that, there really wasn’t any other place that I wanted go to college and there wasn’t a coach who I wanted to play for more than Bob Knight.”

Woodson will now have the chance to run his own camps in the Summer of 2022, with Day Camps for boys in Grades 2 thru 9, June 13-16 and June 20-23. The camps encourage a love and appreciation for the game and will have a staff which will include Hoosier coaches, players, and student-managers.

“If we can inspire someone and change the direction of their life then I feel like we will have accomplished what we set out to do,” added Woodson.

The Day Camp will emphasize fundamental skill development. The daily schedule will include individual instruction, small group instruction, contest and competitions, and 5-on-5 scrimmages. This is your opportunity to experience Coach Woodson’s basketball program up close. The Day Camp will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. Check in will begin on Monday at 8:15 a.m.

"I really have a lot of faith in our staff and our team to turn this around. That's a huge challenge. But I know it's going happen. That's the only focus I have. I haven't thought of anything else.''

Holy moly.

Not only is the Reds' 3-19 record the worst start in franchise history, it's also tied for the second-worst record through 22 games in baseball's Modern Era (since 1900), according to ESPN Stats & Information. Only the Baltimore Orioles, who started the season 1-21 in 1988, have had a worse record through 22 games.

Plus it may get worse. The Reds placed second baseman Jonathan India on the injured list, again.

So, I'm sitting home with kidney stones and a stent, waiting for removal, and taking pain meds. Awake at all the wrong hours, etc.

Watching C-Span 1, 2 or 3 as usual for a law nerd.

This one touched on a semi-relevant point:

https://www.c-span.org/video/?517257-1/lincolns-speeches

The question was about the "perpetuality" of the Union and Constitution at the time of the Civil War. Lincoln had long-argued that the Constitution does not provide for any "dissolution" or "secession" - to counter the argument of the Secesh that "we joined and we can quit, you tyrant bastard."

Small point, but worthy - the Articles of Confederation expressly referred to the "perpetual Union" of the colonies they were banding together. The Constitution made no references to such a "perpetual" Union, but DID state an attempt to form a "more perfect" union.

This same group also discusses some things that CRT and Project 1619 folks won't like - the redemptive and "sin cleansing" and "re-birth" impact of the Civil War on both the Constitution and white America's (North and South, inclusive) "sin" of slavery and paying the price ("woe") therefore. The conclusion was that the Constitution initially allowed slavery, then the war and post-amendments "fix" it - cleansed the original sin - and allowed the perpetual Union to move forward anew - in a manner akin to Christian "re-birth" ala Jesus.

It's worth 50 minutes.

Our Malita coffee maker brewed it's last pot yesterday and I had to dig the french press out to get my fix this morning. Looking for recommendations for a good coffee maker. I don't need anything with a grinder in it or K cup option, just needs to have auto brew and be no more than $100.

Anything I should stay away from or lean towards?

My student years were pretty much 97 - 2002.

Off the top of my head.

Stefano's Ice Cafe. This job didn't last long. Too structured, claustrophobic.

Kilroys on Kirkwood. My job was to put up the salad bar. Had to be there by 9am. Salad bar needed set up by something like 10am. It was a dreadful job that I could never make it on time for. I remember several times getting there very late and killing myself to get things out. Eventually I was fired. Kathy called me on the phone about the time I was to be there. She said, don't bother, you're fired. I said, 'the dream is over?' Legend has it they wrote that quote on a white board in the kitchen.

Loaf n Ladle. Another stuffy, terrible job working with a bunch of do-gooders. I had dyed my long hair bright red and the owner was furious. 'Will that wash out? You can't serve people with that hair.' Eventually fired.

Malibu Grill. Dishwasher. The entire job was set up to fail. The space was as about as big as a closet. Only one person could fit back there. No help. Friday and Saturday nights it was like a war. Bunch of slam piece waitress's though. I made a deal with JB I would always show up on the weekends if I got a free carry out order of wings. He concurred.

Rockets - I made your pizza's summer of 98', I think. Perfect little stoner job. Could look however I wanted. Again, kitchen was as big as a closet. But pretty laid back. I would wander out into the dining area, check out all the band pictures thinking one day my band would be on there.

Last but certainly not least.

Night Moves. I was your cook summer of '99. My dad had come up to visit and congratulate me on making it through my junior year. I told him I needed a summer job in the worst way. We happened to drive by Night Moves and right there on the sign, 'Cook Wanted.' We were both like, yes, that's you. My interview with Larry went about like all interviews go:

'Are you a pervert?'
'Um... no... '

Then he told me all about his gambling and that he liked his food with no seasoning and that he was only hiring 1 cook. So I made $8.50 an hour for 40 hours and every hour after 40 would be $5.00 an hour. I spent my entire summer in that place. Opening to closing. I was like working in a HBO special.

What ya got?
