Judging by the infinite number of chipmunks I see in my backyard and unfortunately in my garden there is no chipmunk shortage.  My schnoodle always chases them with no luck.
I have a fieldstone foundation typical of older homes in New England and the traps catch more mice than the cat.  Occasionally an offering is left at the for of the stairs in the basement.

And what many may not realize is those were in separate seasons. He was MOP of the Final Four and 2nd Team All-American in 1977 and NPOY and 1st team All-American in 1978.

Marquette at Butler- 7:30pm (FS1)
Jeff Levering and Dickey Simpkins
Line: Butler  -7.5/160.5

Ugh

Pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

It's a cautionary tale.

Georgetown as a Universoty can get away with neglecting basketball because, well, they're Georgetown.

Marquette on the other hand likely pays a huge penalty as an institution if mbb turns Gtown or DePaul. I wouldn't go as so far to say survival is threatened, but it would definitely because a very different type/tier of University.

Gauff dumps the 1st set.  Her serve and forehand can still go haywire.

But at least daily living is affordable now. And my taxes are down.

And those $3 meals are great - especially the piece of broccoli.

Quote from: BE_GoldenEagle on January 21, 2026, 08:16:05 PMI went

PG: Kolek
SG: Wade
SF: Crowder
PF: Novak
C: Chones

Kolek shot 38% and 39% from 3 his final 2 years here and 3s play in the modern game. Novak is a lights out shooter around the playmaking Wade. Crowder can shoot and is sort of interchangable with Novak at the 3/4. Chones a double-double machine as a rim presence on both sides of the floor. Shooting, defense, athleticism, passing.

I also don't think those are the best 5, just a group of 5 I'd love to see play together.

If no Butch not legit

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on January 22, 2026, 08:55:53 PMThank you for your response. Wow! This is really eye-opening, an autopsy of a school's team's self-inflicted destruction. One thing that I cannot understand...why bother hiring a guy like Cooley at his salary if there is no plan or willingness to turn things around? It seems to me that a coach from a mid-major would have been all that was needed.

The former president would pay market rate. The next president likely won't.
