Yes that appears to be the real list. I think three maybe four of these will do just fine.

You don't have television for real?

It's hooked up to a dvd player. I teach, write about, and do talks on (or using) classic movies, mostly from the 1930s-'50s. They make a convenient intersection for discussions of literature, history, and the visual arts. I love introducing kids to analyzing what they're watching, rather than passively letting visual media wash over and through them. Not only does it help them in Lit classes (especially boys), after a teen watches and perceives all the things going on in a well made movie, their taste for the latest Marvel CGI blast diminishes quickly.

Recently I began using them with folks in assisted living whose minds needed more than the usual stimulation. I've got one 97 year old lady who's still sharp and catches lots of things in the film scenes we analyze. That's rewarding.

After my wife died, I lost all interest in the hours of shows and sports we watched together. The only thing I found I still enjoyed were the best classic movies. Pretty soon I realized that, for the cost of just a year of cable TV (that I wasn't watching anyway), I could own the best movies ever made. That collection topped out at around 300, except for 2 or 3 movies that are still in restoration. (Well, yeah, a few aren't really classics--they're just special because of her.)

I've never missed TV. I do wonder how I ever had that much time to sit around watching! So now I just stay behind on my reading.

Just curious. How many of y'all looked at that chronological sequence of visits and immediately thought of money instead of coaching, academics, location, or conference?
1755183474382.pngMy first thought (and not negatively at all) was, "...so she will arrive here knowing her market value." Seems like a wise move, but my real point is, how quickly we fans have accommodated this new reality!


Frankly, I wish this was how every student approached college. "What are your placement rates for this degree? What is the $$ value of this degree over the next 4 years?" ...and how did Grok respond to that question?

That is a great point! Didn't initially look at like that, but this day and age you have to take that into consideration. Because obviously the players and "advisors" do!!

Intel: Who leads for the top 2026 WBB recruits?

With AAU season over, many recruits are beginning to focus in on their recruitment. Let's take a look at where many of the top women's basketball prospects stand.

Notes that we (along with LSU) lead for Trinity Jones and that we (along with Colorado) lead for Bri Crittendon. Does not sound like we are really in the mix for Addison Bjorn.

I hope were in great shape to get three of the players were in on that would be a success. We should have the NIl money to match anyone after a 20 million a year shoe deal and the settlement. I think the shoe and apparel deal put us in the top five deals in the country. I'd like to see Edwards, Crittendon, and Abii that is a top five class IMO.
