EGG would rather kneel to Bog Huggins before releasing something like this

Edit: didn’t realize it’s former senator Ben Sasse

Wasn't his surgery yesterday? Anyone know how's he doing, etc?

Prayers he came through the surgery just fine, and is doing well.

Because of what went down between Dana and his dad? I still don't understand the full story because all I saw was Stew was trying to get a reporter to dig up dirt on Dana. Don't know of that's true or not. Just didn't know if we win Blaine doesn't give a little tip of the cap to ol' dad

Hamas is claiming Ukraine sold them the weapons they used in the attack today against Israel.

Play hard and smart.

Kansas senior Hunter Dickinson is the first student-athlete to garner both Big 12 Men’s Basketball Preseason Player and Newcomer of the Year to highlight the 2023-24 awards and team as voted on by the league’s head coaches. Dickinson is the 11th Jayhawk to collect the player award and the fifth to earn newcomer. Ja’Kobe Walter picked up Baylor’s third consecutive Preseason Freshman of the Year recognition.

Dickinson was joined on the Preseason All-Big 12 Team by his teammate Dajuan Harris Jr., Houston’s L.J. Cryer, TCU’s Emanuel Miller and Texas’ Max Abmas.

A fourth-year transfer from Michigan, Dickinson earned many national and conference honors with the Wolverines, including Consensus All-America Second Team in 2021. He was a three-time All-Big Ten selection with first team honors in 2022 and 2023. The 7-2 center averaged 17.2 points and 8.4 rebounds for his career and led Michigan in points and rebounds each of the last three seasons. Dickinson has compiled career statistics of 1,617 points, 787 rebounds and 149 blocked shots. The general studies major was named to the All-Big Ten Academic Team in 2022 and 2023.

Walter played his senior season of high school at Link Academy in Branson, Missouri, helping the team to a 24-1 record in 2022-23. He was a McDonald’s All-America selection and ESPN’s No. 17-rated player. Originally from McKinney, Texas, Walter led MHS to its first state championship game, where he scored a team-high 23 points against Duncanville. He averaged 23.3 points and 7.6 rebounds during his junior year and was 5-6A Offensive Player of the Year. Walter also earned a spot on the 2021-22 Texas Association of Basketball Coaches All-State Team and the 6A All-State Tournament Team.

Some might remember this or at least the art work on this lamp. Anyone know this. I believe it was 78ish. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/nONThXAzTYGKuHnNSDZL5w.6mDfMHq0jm3RI7HcoNvBrv

I was just listening to the Big 12 Mafia show, which is run by a BYU guy and is one of the better shows out there. And he had Jim Williams on as a guest. Jim currently works for Forbes but has previously worked for ESPN and others and seems to be very connected with the media. He stated that he believes the public flirtation with Gonzaga is simply a red herring (he used the term Trojan Horse but I believe he meant red herring) and that the B12s real interest is in OSU and WSU. However, with the legal battles that are currently raging between the PAC 2 and the others in the league they can’t get involved publicly. Personally, I don’t believe it to be true, I believe Yormark has genuine interest in Gonzaga and Uconn which I do not support. If we had wanted WSU and OSU we would have taken them with the others unless we are waiting on ACC teams to balance out the conference. Interesting theory though.

Excerpts:

The country-folk musician stood in front of West Virginia’s football team and humbly said he was not one for big speeches. He was wrong about that.

Back in the day, before Charles Wesley Godwin picked up a guitar, he’d dreamed of being a walk-on linebacker for the Mountaineers. Coach Neal Brown didn’t bring in many speakers during camp in August, but Godwin felt like a good choice. Brown hoped the fast-rising singer-songwriter, a WVU grad who hails from and resides in Morgantown, could speak on the importance of representing the state.

Godwin got right to the point in a three-minute address during a break in practice. One month earlier, his beloved West Virginia had been picked to finish in last place — 14th out of 14 — in the Big 12’s preseason media poll. And that fired him up.

He told the tale of how a festival in Kentucky once offended his band by giving them the 2:20 p.m. slot. They wanted to be headliners. For the next year, every time they went on stage, they reminded each other: 2:20. It was all the motivation they needed. Now they’re playing with Zach Bryan and Luke Combs. That’s what this team needed to understand: Disrespect can be a gift.

“They picked y’all 14th! They picked you 14th. They must’ve forgot who you are,” Godwin said. “There shouldn’t be anything else that needs said this year before you step on the field to get your absolute best other than 14.”

From that day forward, West Virginia players say, “14” turned into their mantra. If you walk through their locker room, training table or anywhere in their football facility, you’ll see the number in gold on every TV screen. Brown calls it a catalyst for all the good that’s happened since.

The TCU game, a physically and emotionally draining fight in Fort Worth, left the head coach feeling prouder than ever. Greene wasn’t going to play so he could get his ankle back to 100 percent. The plan changed Thursday after backup quarterback Nicco Marchiol got injured in practice. “Coach asked me if I could go, and I said yep,” Greene said. The staff had to redo the game plan, and Greene hoped his ankle would hold up. He threw for 142 yards, ran for 80 and two scores and gave his guys a chance. The defense lost starters Aubrey Burks and Trey Lathan to injuries that sent them to the hospital. In the end, they found a way. West Virginia’s special teams blocked two field goal tries in the fourth quarter and delivered a 24-21 win.

“It’s not always been pretty football,” Brown said, “but we’re finding ways to win.”

In the local grocery store here in North Carolina, and I was wearing WVU apparel, it often draws a response.

Anyway, an older man was the checker cashier at the grocery and quickly mentioned, "WVU, huh ??"

To which, I quickly shot back, "Yes, sir... you from there ??"

He responded, "Oh no... just a follower... really, I am a HUGE Pat McAfee fan and I love his show...."

I often get the WV expatriates who have relocated from WV, or the alumni guy or gal longing for the college days... and the die-hards who just "have that look." But, today was my first.... I am a McAfee show fan and I am cognizant of WVU because of him....

So, for those of you that do not appreciate his schtick... and don't like his style.... buckle up, buttercup... It's catching.... and I guess people are watching.

We are getting ready to send a unit down there that will end result use phosphate to make flame retardant.

The fellow I met today is a deep rooted WVU fan and he was there for the customer witness. Said his father Ray Johnson Sr was Doc Holidays HS coach.

Ray Jr if you’re on here, it was a pleasure meeting you and talking about the snakepit and sunnyside.

Got my knee fixed up, heading back to Pittsburgh soon. Feeling good. Dr. Bal is always worth the travel down.

In eager anticipation of the forthcoming chorus of voices, both the pitiful noobs and zealous sycophants, who dare to speak once we achieve triumph today, we warmly acknowledge those who, despite novice tendencies, persist steadfastly within this realm, showcasing their unwavering dedication.

No preferential treatment will be granted to those who indulge in the cynical concoction colloquially known as "Haterade," nor to the unwavering noobs who consistently infuse this place with excessively obsequious inclinations. The esteemed Assembly of Initiates has convened, meticulously pondered your situation, and prescribed not only VESIcare but also a vital need for you to serendipitously encounter a clue.

As we ascend towards the summit, we seek individuals adorned with intellectual strength akin to titanium and a resolute resolve that can serve as anchors, staunchly resisting the overwhelming mediocrity of the world and its lackluster societal norms. A persona marked by unwavering fortitude, standing in stark contrast to any hint of frailty, with virile and robust erections.

The impending triumph over Houston and Drunk Dana looms before us. Prepare yourselves for the imminent victory, as both haters and sycophants adapt, guiding us towards a society liberated from noobs.
