I sometimes check out how much Iowa WBB tix are going for. Remember when social media experts predicted Iowa fans would disappear when CC left? Look at Oregon post-Ionescu. They don't even appear to be streamable. Really bad for a B1G team.

A big "Mission Accomplished" banner seems more appropriate.

I read her this and emphasized the, "Shhhaaaannnnne!"

She replied sternly, "Stop it." She said it triggers her annoyance.

Why yes. Yes, I did. Feckless fat-asses!

My wife & I provoke each other occasionally by crying plaintively, "Shhhaaaannnnne!"

Trump & Netanyahu going to war together is like these two guys working together. You know innocent people are going to get killed.

I don't think I even requested a response this time. The other two times the response was essentially a form letter ignoring important parts of my email. They were "peeing on my leg and telling me it was raining."

My email to CO Rep Jeff Crank,

Subject: Iran

Your consistency in providing zero oversight of a corrupt president is truly impressive.

On the play where Arizona hit a three to make it 45-35, Awaka was literally in the lane for 10 seconds. How the f#$k do you miss that? They have three refs!

That's right up there with patting themselves on the back for reporting that the NCAA treated the women's tourney inequitably while prioritizing the WWE, gambling advice & any NFL rumor over women's basketball.

Doncic passes up a big shot, discuss ad nauseum. WBB - nada.

I predict that later this year Republicans in Congress will subpoena Barack Obama to question him about how he started this war with Iran.

That would be closer to serving in the military than any Trump in history.

The six-time bankrupt orangutan wants people to believe he's a skilled negotiator. Like running a casino, foreign affairs don't care how loudly you claim to have won.

Today would be a good day for an independent network to play "Wag the Dog" on 24 hour loop.

I am hopeful that the war in Iran will bring needed democratic change to … the United States of America.

When I was about 20, I drank 24 Coors Lights in one night. My friends & I had a contest only someone that young would be dumb enough to attempt. I can't imagine drinking that volume of any liquid & putting 24 tacos on top of it. Maybe 6 beers & 6 tacos every 7.75 hours? With diuretic & laxative?

I need someone to ask Shauna Green about the routine with her necklace. Watch her when BTN comes back with 4:06 left in the 4Q of the Iowa/Illinois WBB game.

Do college WBB refs get a bounty for calling a charge? When Ava Heiden steps on the floor, opposing players flop.
