Ouchie! Rockies catcher catches one in the cup… rolling around like he wasnt wearing one…

Our RF split mine in half while I was taking his cannon of a throw at 2B while playing SS back in the day. I’ve never felt such immense pain. Amazingly I survived to have kids one day. I know….cool story bro. lol.

So the Vols basketball team was one of the elite 8 teams, but finished ranked at 12th. Seems legitimate.

AP is a propaganda organization in all areas, not just sports.

What you had as a result of the tournament was a 4-way tie for 5th place. That's absolutely clear. They could rank those tied teams as 5,6,7,8, if they wanted, and put us in 8th place to content their feckless, corrupt hearts.

I haven't looked, but I assume that -- even though we advanced further than any other SEC team -- the blow hard AP pollsters voted to rank some SEC teams above us.

Spectacular. Wow.

When Apollo 8 passed behind the moon in it's orbit, NASA’s three astronauts became the first humans to see the moon’s far side.

Loss of signal occurred at 68 hours, 58 minutes, 45 seconds when Apollo 8 passed behind the moon. At that moment, NASA’s three astronauts became the first humans to see the moon’s far side.

Fascinating.

Well, at least he’s not at the massage parlor?

That assumes there's still a spot for them. Not a coach on the planet with a lick of sense would sit and wait to see if a player decides to stay. Well, I can't use an absolute like that, but I'd not do it....and no I didn't stay at a holiday inn express last night.

Pretty sure this was how Rick handled Aidoo. But the slot was gone with the commitment of Okpara.

I remember my Dad setting up a tripod to snap pictures of the tv set to record 715.

Welp, it would have likely been more private and far, far less expensive.

Thank you for the back story! Provides much needed clarity!
