  1. Single elimination tournaments are designed to crown a champion, not parse out who the best team is. In my examples above, the losers win those games 9 times out of 10. Herb Brooks said it best in his pregame speech to the US Hockey Team before the game with the USSR in 1980, if we play them 10 times, they will win 9, but not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world.
  2. I was somewhat surprised to see Negan put the jacket back on, is this symbolic in some way? I believe Negan has traded his black hat for a white one, but we shall see. I think Negan is playin the Whisperers.
  3. New York Jets 16 Baltimore Colts 7 USA 4 USSR 3 NCS 54 Houston 52 Buster Douglass knocks out Mike Tyson George Mason vs. Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State, UConn..... Japan 3 USA 1 John Daly 91 PGA Shall I go on?
  4. I believe a few years back Reitz was to travel to Silver Creek and the IHSAA move the game to Reitz, as I recall this was over seating capacity.
  5. Man you gotta have some fun!
  6. It's the giant W that jumps out at me. And I seldom touch a ball. Since the IHSAA made the Wilson deal, I have maybe seen two non-Wilson balls. And it's been a while since I've seen either of them.
  7. Per the article I posted, what happens when the government entity, in this case the TVA, ignores looming problems with infrastructure until they reach a critical juncture? In the article the looming issues with their coal fired generation and increasing regulation from the EPA regarding coal generation. In the case of our local sewer utility, customers get saddled with sur charges. I just received the business sewer bill today, the sewer bill was $17.71, and the surcharge for our city's lack of preparation was $54.00. Forecasting future needs, dealing with infrastructure maintenance, etc., is where I see private utilities do a lot better job. I would guess the vast majority of government owned utilities are sewer and or water in local municipalities. Is there any infrastructure in the community that's worse maintained? And when either breaks, it's going to be a mess, right off the top of my head they had major flooding in Louisville a couple of years ago when a 4' cast iron main ruptured that was installed in 1892.
  8. Hard not to notice the GST Prime:
  9. Trump wasn't the first president to float the idea of selling it. But once again the government continues to shoot itself in the foot. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/04/goodbye-new-deal-obama-proposes-selling-tva/316380/
  10. Last week we had the first team I’ve seen all year that didn’t use a GST 1003, they used a Wilson GST Prime. The only difference I see in balls is how aged they are. For whatever reason kids today prefer worn balls.
  11. TVA is a customer owned co-op which generates electricity and sells it to others. Seems to be some debate about selling transmission infrastructure to the private sector.
  12. When I was coaching, I preferred to be in the road. No distractions, got off the bus, warmed up, and played. No time to dick around with parents, boyfriends, classmates. I liked the rigid structure of being in the road.
  13. Sure. https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/publicutility/documents/utilitydivdocs/listofnontelecomutilities.pdf Aside from the obvious, spikes, voltage variances, etc., what about the generation, transmission, and distribution? What about alternative energy sources? Assuming since we're selling at cost, the fed will just print the money to fund research?
  14. What dealings I had with him in our game, I thought he was a nice young man.
  15. I have heard, no idea to the validity, that some teams schools charter planes for playoff games.
  16. Seems to be working well in Venezuela. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/democracy-post/wp/2018/04/10/in-venezuela-a-daily-struggle-for-the-basic-necessities-of-life/
  17. Kinda 5, I do love a good nap! 9, most definitely, I don't like plans, I like to play it by ear, and heck I may end up wanting to just take a nap.
  18. Sinaloa Cartel, now where have I heard that name before........hmmmmm..... Oh yea, that’s the same cartel we armed in Fast and Furious in our on going war on drugs. Apparently we didn’t learn anything from arming the Mujahideen.
  19. In the last 100 years, there have been 17 D governors in KY, compared to 6 R’s. There have only been two R’s since 1971. The D’s stronghold on the KY governor’s mansion I assumed was pretty common knowledge, I guess not.
