Not sure what has happened to Oswin from PC as the season has progressed, but he is not the big that I think MUBB will strive yo obtain.

Quote from: muwarrior69 on Today at 07:44:01 AMWow! The University is asking for charitable donations to support MUBB so we can pay these guys big money to play basketball. I know we have to offer them a scholarship but it seem like a waste of good money as it appears no one cares about those things.

There are more worthy charities to donate too.

Yeah I don't donate to Marquette.  They got my tuition.  I'd rather my money went to people's hands instead of overhead.

Also, that's not how any of this works.

I loved living in and going to school in Antwerp, would probably be willing to do that again.

Also really enjoyed Edinburgh, and would like to go back there on a more extended trip.

Twitter post said they informed him a week ago.

Correct, but I'm honestly not sure Shaka packs their bags.

Quote from: muwarrior69 on March 04, 2026, 02:07:32 PMI watched all 3 with Ian, Sheek and Nash and she never asked how do you like school. Who is your favorite prof? I guess it is only important when the Big East announces their all academic team.

I guess I am fooling myself, like FTs, classes don't matter.

Love the topic Wags.  We have some in common.

Dubai.  Having lived there and grown to understand that it's actually very affordable and easy, it's become one of my favorite places to visit and I'd live there again in a heartbeat.  People comment about how it's all "fake"...yeah, so have you been to central London lately?  Manhattan?  Plus it's so safe there, and the government services are pleasant and efficient.
Cape Town.  I go there annually for a business conference and have been staying for a week before/after.  This year we flew my team of 50 there for our annual meeting as well.  Cheapest place with great food, great scenery, great wine, hiking, easy to get around, and something for everyone at every price point. 
Melbourne.  The city center is nice and the neighborhoods  with the cultural/ethnic twists - German, Greek, Italian, etc. are fun to explore.  Weather can be bad.  Nice getaways down the Mornington peninsula or to the Yarra valley (wine!) as well. 
Jakarta.  repeat above.  Would live there again.
Singapore.  like Dubai, one of the last remaining places on the planet where crime is illegal.  So much to do and explore for a small place.  Awesome food.  Would live there again as well!
Moscow.  Controversial one I'm sure but other than the traffic it's safe, has lots to offer culturally, food, recreation.  Not crazy expensive.  Spent 10ish days/month there for 10 years of my life and found it very appealing. 

Cities I despise:  London (loved it 20 years ago), Beijing, LA, Johannesburg, Paris, Kuala Lumpur

Honorable Mention:  Brisbane, Perth, Chicago.

I used to rate Hong Kong but it's just changed too much and lost its personality and some of its vibe. 

Quote from: Tha Hound on March 04, 2026, 10:08:42 PMWouldn't scoff at this but I don't think this is enough to have us truly competing again next year, unless that center is damn near the best available.

What does "truly competing" mean?
