Dude, Kansas/Missouri is not the biggest rivalry game in the world... Not even close...

Sorry, but the CFL is much more exciting than the NFL…

I said "should of", but we all knew that wouldn't happen... As a Republican, I just wish Trump would fade away... I know that will NEVER happen, but one can wish...

Trump should have taken the high road and just ignore what De Niro even said, but unfortunately he just can't do that...

Biden mess up the gravity of the planet?

I would still choose a school based on the education that I could get... But the NCAA is a fustercluck now with NIL, paying kids, etc... It is a damn shame what it has become...

https://www.cbssports.com/womens-college-basketball/news/iowa-womens-basketball-sells-out-season-tickets-for-the-first-time-ahead-of-caitlin-clarks-senior-campaign/ Iowa women's basketball has officially sold out its season tickets for the 2023-24 campaign, the team announced on Monday. This is the first time the program has ever sold out Carver-Hawkeye Arena for an entire season. "Going to be one insane season!!" Iowa star Caitlin Clark wrote on social media. "Hawk fans are insane!!!!" Before this announcement, the team had only sold out three regular season games, the most recent being a senior night contest against Indiana on Feb. 26. However, it's been clear the interest has been growing as the Hawkeyes finished second nationally in attendance last season with an average of 11,143 fans. In April, Iowa Athletics had to pause season ticket deposits after receiving deposits for 6,700 new season tickets. With the 6,500 existing season tickets, the number grew to 13,200, which is a huge percentage of the 15,056-seat Carver-Hawkeye Arena. This wave of enthusiasm comes months after the Hawkeyes made it to their first ever national championship game. The Hawkeyes fell to Angel Reese and LSU in that contest, but they finished 31-7 overall and 17-1 at home. Clark certainly has played a huge role in the success of the team and the growing excitement for Iowa women's basketball. She was already one of the most recognizable players in college basketball heading into last season, but she reached new heights during her junior campaign and was named the National Player of the Year. Clark put up historic numbers last season, including scoring 191 points in the NCAA Tournament -- a NCAA Tournament record for men's or women's basketball. In the Elite Eight, Clark recorded 41 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists to become the first player -- man or woman -- to register a 40-point triple-double in the NCAA Tournament. Iowa has not announced its 2023-24 schedule yet, but tickets for the Oct. 15 exhibition game against DePaul at Kinnick Stadium will be available on Tuesday morning.

Lightening…. That will always stop the game and then they have to wait for no strikes for 30 minutes before they can restart the game…

Totally surprised but I am glad that the committee got some of it right… I really thought that Georgia was in as no team being #1 in next-to-last CFP never dropped out of the playoffs… Though technically they still have two SEC teams in there…

Noon ET tomorrow…. As cmh said, the rest of the bowls are also announced…

That might be Texas only chance over Georgia, but with the SEC love and Georgia had won 29 or so in a row and the last two champions, I think the committee will want someone to win the title over Georgia…

If Michigan wins, I think it will be… 1) Michigan 2) Washington 3) Alabama 4) Georgia I hope I am wrong, but that is my guess…

Been done before…

Georgia is in…. The committee will want Georgia to defend their titles plus they lost only by three and since the committee loves the SEC, Alabama is in… Washington is the third team…. Michigan will be in with a win…. I think Florida State needs to win and have Michigan lose…. I could be wrong but this is what I am thinking… If Michigan and Florida State both lose, Texas will get in…

I was thinking more of the quote (changed a little): “To call Tim stupid is an insult to stupid people”…

With Georgia and Washington already in, it will have to be a Texas miracle IMO… If Alabama beats Georgia, Alabama will be the third team and that just leaves the last spot for Michigan or Florida State…. If both lose, then Texas would probably get in…

https://wtop.com/national/2023/12/retired-justice-sandra-day-oconnor-the-first-woman-on-the-supreme-court-has-died-at-age-93/ WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, an unwavering voice of moderate conservatism and the first woman to serve on the nation’s highest court, has died. She was 93. The court says she died in Phoenix on Friday, of complications related to advanced dementia and a respiratory illness. In 2018, she announced that she had been diagnosed with “the beginning stages of dementia, probably Alzheimer’s disease.” Her husband, John O’Connor, died of complications of Alzheimer’s in 2009. O’Connor’s nomination in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan and subsequent confirmation by the Senate ended 191 years of male exclusivity on the high court. A native of Arizona who grew up on her family’s sprawling ranch, O’Connor wasted little time building a reputation as a hard worker who wielded considerable political clout on the nine-member court. The granddaughter of a pioneer who traveled west from Vermont and founded the family ranch some three decades before Arizona became a state, O’Connor had a tenacious, independent spirit that came naturally. As a child growing up in the remote outback, she learned early to ride horses, round up cattle and drive trucks and tractors. “I didn’t do all the things the boys did,” she said in a 1981 Time magazine interview, “but I fixed windmills and repaired fences.” On the bench, her influence could best be seen, and her legal thinking most closely scrutinized, in the court’s rulings on abortion, perhaps the most contentious and divisive issue the justices faced. O’Connor balked at letting states outlaw most abortions, refusing in 1989 to join four other justices who were ready to reverse the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that said women have a constitutional right to abortion. Then, in 1992, she helped forge and lead a five-justice majority that reaffirmed the core holding of the 1973 ruling. “Some of us as individuals find abortion offensive to our most basic principles of morality, but that can’t control our decision,” O’Connor said in court, reading a summary of the decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. “Our obligation is to define the liberty of all, not to mandate our own moral code.” Thirty years after that decision, a more conservative court did overturn Roe and Casey, and the opinion was written by the man who took her high court seat, Justice Samuel Alito. He joined the court upon O’Connor’s retirement in 2006, chosen by President George W. Bush. In 2000, O’Connor was part of the 5-4 majority that effectively resolved the disputed 2000 presidential election in favor of Bush, over Democrat Al Gore. O’Connor was regarded with great fondness by many of her colleagues. When she retired, Justice Clarence Thomas, a consistent conservative, called her “an outstanding colleague, civil in dissent and gracious when in the majority.” She could, nonetheless, express her views tartly. In one of her final actions as a justice, a dissent to a 5-4 ruling to allow local governments to condemn and seize personal property to allow private developers to build shopping plazas, office buildings and other facilities, she warned the majority had unwisely ceded yet more power to the powerful. “The specter of condemnation hangs over all property,” O’Connor wrote. “Nothing is to prevent the state from replacing … any home with a shopping mall, or any farm with a factory.” O’Connor, whom commentators had once called the nation’s most powerful woman, remained the court’s only woman until 1993, when, much to O’Connor’s delight and relief, President Bill Clinton nominated Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The current court includes a record four women.

What is her degree going to be in?
