Or what? They'll ban him for life?

Underneath every MLB stadium is a secret jail. You don't want to see baseball jail.

It would take an uncharacteristic road performance from this team to make it through this regional. They matched us up pretty badly.

The only upside I can find is they aren't an elite home team. 24-10. You have to scroll down to #25 RPI Duke to find a less effective home team. But when a team is scorching hot...well...

In what world is it right that we are matched up against #4? We got hosed. Aggie as well getting shipped to the west coast.

Everyone predicted Terra Haute region, so it seems a bit if a surprise to be seeded in this region.

The upside, compared to what we saw predicted, would be getting to play the Auburn regional winner in a super, rather than Wake Forest. I'll take Auburn all day.

2/3 were voluntary and chose it, yes. Though 1/3 came through the draft that war. To be fair. somewhere in the middle but overall agree


A very fair, even-handed article I read yesterday about the whys behind voluntary war participants (why they choose it) from a military publication:

This Memorial Day, Let's Finally Start Having an Honest National Conversation About Military Service - War on the Rocks

You say volunteered, I say brainwashed.

Don't want to get into a thing but our courageous men and women that died in Vietnam were not fighting for our freedom, they were lied to...as is true for every "war" since WWII. Our government should offer a formal apology every Memorial Day to the soldiers and families that died under false pretenses. Rant over.

We had a strict "no talking about why we are here" policy in Iraq. I was only there a couple of months and everyone knew the reason for the invasion was a lie by then. That is tough info to hold close when getting ready for patrol.

I generally did not leave the Green Zone, but we were only doing it for each other. The mission was for everyone to get home alive, at that point.
