LaxPower Back-Up Stick

Talked with my son last evening and his reaction is that this deal should be rejected. The missing piece is collective bargaining.

Once there’s a union to negotiate on an ongoing basis, this can be worked out to benefit all the athletes rather than the NCAA or power conferences alone.

Thats 100% just Ben Wayer forgetting what he’s doing. You can’t coach that. Just brain dead ball watching So supportive. Also, very brave when you have such an identifiable handle as “Hooz123” to insult by name college kids that play for your supposed favorite team. That’s accountability! Same trol...

Yes - my dead horse has been roster size and while I still strongly feel there are a myriad of benefits to a smaller/streamlined roster that ship has probably sailed. '06's math looks pretty good this time and he is omitting Smith (in process and likely), the DIII face-off man, conversations/inquir...

Just caught up with this thread. The trolling became quite ridiculous. Syracuse is a lacrosse 'brand' but Hopkins isn't?? Taking nothing away from Syracuse, which has a storied history as well, but it ain't close. The refs were on the take??? Idiocy. This is intentional trolling. See it as such. Th...

I was in Baltimore over this past weekend and attended the Hop game with some alums. Given the miserable weather and more time in the bar than in the stands the talk was that Duffy is hitting the portal this summer and is interested in transferring to Hop next season. I had heard this rumor elsewhe...

Watched Hotel Portofino's two seasons (English) and Seaside Hotel 7-8 seasons (Danish with subtitles) on PBS...recommend them for similar approaches to understanding the insidiousness of creeping fascism. Also very entertaining. Now watching A Gentleman in Moscow...about the ramifications of a diffe...

Al Bundy on 2x IMPOTUS o d https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8_lvlBqlh0 https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-civil-war-monument/ Thanks. Pretty remarkable audacity to make something like that up from whole cloth, create an actual monument that's based on an entire falsehood. And, of course...

I wonder how Alito and Thomas sleep at night knowing a gaggle of puny and irrelevant FLP types dislike them so vehemently. Would y'all like some cheese with that whine? If you want better SCOTUS members try and find candidates that don't resemble yourselves when you look in the mirror. That would b...

If I'm not mistaken, Title IX applies, so if they pay the players generating the most money the lion's share, that's men's football and men's basketball, with women's basketball on the rise. I don't think there's an analogue for football on the women's side. Sounds like each school decides how they ...

If you were a man of military age & you had to choose (today), would you choose to be a citizen of Belarus or Ukraine ? We've gone over this before: if Russia invaded America, would you be willing to give Putin a few States in exchange for a cease fire? Say, Alaska? Should we cede the Arctic to...

If you were a man of military age & you had to choose (today), would you choose to be a citizen of Belarus or Ukraine ? If I was Ukrainian, yes Ukraine. And would be proud of it. Not Belarus, though if I was actually Belarussian, of course that would be my citizenship. I just wouldn't like the ...

October 1996 https://www.science.org/content/article/nicotine-and-alzheimers Would be interesting to see the # of covid deaths in smokers and non-smokers, see if there's any truth to what's been said. Yup, I smoke, and my unvaccinated self is still alive despite being up there on the high risk list...

We'll never get a Treaty with Ukraine or approval for NATO membership. Biden hasn't even tried to make the case to US voters. Ukraine still hasn't cleaned up their govt to NATO standards. If different languages determined nationality, the SW US would still be part of Mexico & Quebec would be in...

Matt Brandau deserves the Tewaaraton award for being the best player this season. The fact that his team didn’t make the tournament should have no bearing on this. Give him the Tewey and then give an award to tournament MVP and be done with it. Liam Entenmann listed as a finalist is just absurd. Pu...

Ukraine had 3 decades to build a military capable of defending their borders or to maintain a modus vivendi with Russia. They failed. Ukraine was the crown jewel of the USSR. They could have been another Germany or Poland if they were not so corrupt & ethnically divided. They're an accidental c...

Replying to above without reposting. What weapons systems did the US use in shooting down Iranian missile barrage? Houthis? What is their range? Frankly, I think NATO should go all-in with providing air cover to Ukraine, refrain themselves from striking targets within Russia unless fired upon direc...
