Did you have to make another transaction after approving it?

Yes. I kept trying to reprocess, but it kept coming up declined. Went to main page and started a whole new transaction with the same card and it went through fine.

Just a heads up in case others have a problem. I just made a payment, but the bank declined the transaction, and I got a fraud alert text. After using my bank app to OK it, it went through fine.

Nothing more than a moral victory but we beat two elite 8 teams. Impressed by Illinois last night. They controlled the game and took Houston out of their game. Texas was the hot team and has some length and athletes. Illinois could make a run. Purdue pulled out the W from staying disciplined and playing good team ball. Impressed with their win but don’t see Purdue as a serious title contender.

I wasn't referring to the B1G as we, just referring to us fans as a community. But I believe it's important for your conference to be strong to help attract top talent & improve your team as the year goes on. It's notable any time your league gets a team in the Final Four, and there could be more than 1 this year. I want the B1G to be perceived as a strong, competitive, top-tier conference, & this helps from that standpoint.

Agreed. I wouldn’t hate to see a B1G team bust our 20+ title drought as long as it’s not scUM. I also don’t hate the SEC likely having zero teams in the elite 8…

Idk about you guys, but I enjoy watching Buckeye transfers succeed at their new locations. It almost validates to me that the staff evaluated well but just that guy wasn't to level to play and excel at OSU. But I wish nothing but success for them at their next location(as long as its not scUM, or when OSU plays them)

To a degree. I like Joe Burrow, but I didn't need to see him win a Heisman and natty when we were robbed of a chance to stop it.

Just looked at the men's bracket today. What a fucking screw job. They put all four B1G schools on the same side of the bracket. NCHC schools are spread out among all four regionals. It's time for either Sparty, Wiscy or the pedsters to step up and finally get the B1G a title. tcun can fuck off though.

I’m actually going to the Loveland regional today since Cornell is playing (and will likely get killed by) DU. Friend I’m going with grew up in Ithaca.

I got to know Dash Crofts and Jimmy Seals when they were at the height of their careers. They were both such genuine, down-to-earth people and willing to help aspiring musicians take their best shot. When I first started playing, I was at a conference in St Louis. Several people started playing an impromptu jam in an open foyer above the interest, it was after all the early 70s. Dash and Jimmy were there (and so were about 30 other, including some of the original Godspell band. It's a long time ago, but some of those guys had done session work with some of the top bands of the late 60s/early 70s. One of the bands that came out of that group of friends was Toto, after England Dan and John Ford Coley collapsed. I don't remember and didn't know everyone. Even if I did, as Crosby said at Woodstock, I was scared sh*tless.

So, eventually, Jimmy asks what I'd like to play. I'd only been playing for a few months and I froze with stage fright. I only found my tongue when Dash caught my eyes and said not to worry because no one would hear me with so many playing anyway. So, I chose their hit, Summer Breeze. As I started, Jimmy said, "Those aren't the right chords,...oh, doesn't matter. Let's all watch and we'll play it your way." And they all played along. I gigged for 5 or 6 years and even got invited to Hollywood as a potential songwriter. I could see people on street corners who almost certainly played guitar better with their toes than I with my hands. When I gave up that dream, I left with the precious gift of not taking myself too seriously. I think I probably became finished business school and became a professor years later because their kindness in that moment cured me of stage fright.

My one experience with a rock star was America, the dude with the glasses. They played at a club where I worked as a waiter and I was assigned to take care of them. When I was a kid I was a big fan of their album Hat Trick. When I told him was was tickled pink because that album wasn't a big seller and he couldn't believe that someone my age knew the album so well.

Meant to ask since you're in South Africa, have you ever heard of a rock singer named Rodriguez I heard that he was bigger than Elvis there.

Gervin irked Bears' Williams filed trademark for 'Iceman'​

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' attempt to trademark the moniker "Iceman" is facing scrutiny from a legendary NBA player who shares the same nickname.

George Gervin, the Hall of Famer and four-time NBA scoring champion, told ESPN that he was "caught off guard" when he learned that Williams had attempted to trademark "Iceman," the nickname that Williams earned during the 2025 season for his late-game performances that culminated with the Bears winning their first playoff game in 15 years.

"I've been the Iceman for 40-something years," Gervin said. "I never thought anybody would try to trademark it. He kind of knocked me out the box."

On March 16, Caleb Williams Holding Inc. filed four trademark applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office related to the "Iceman" nickname. According to the trademark application, goods and services related to the name include athletic sporting goods and equipment, water bottles, T-shirts, sweatshirts, jerseys, hats, eyewear and downloadable posters and digital trading cards.

On March 20, Gervin Interests LLC filed two trademark applications for "Iceman" and "Iceman 44," the latter of which references the jersey number Gervin wore throughout his NBA career. In 1987, the San Antonio Spurs retired Gervin's number.

One of the biggest questions, according to trademark attorney Josh Gerben of Gerben IP, is how trademark rights are viewed. Gerben said Gervin could claim that even though he didn't file the trademark, he was using it before Williams even though Williams filed it first.

But since Williams filed his application first, the USPTO could accept Williams' application and refuse Gervin's.

OK, who is the real "ICEMAN" and should get the trademark?

Hint: It isn't Caleb Williams.....

i don’t follow basketball at all, so don’t really have an opinion.

i know basketball was competitive and drew crowds and excitement to the PMAC, so i’m good with it i guess

I get if the team has a policy with practice gear, but why share it with the media? Seems like something that should be shared within the team instead of making it a public embarrassment of the player.

I think he was asked about them, because their journalists were allowed in part of their practice. And in Cig fashion, he has no problem with providing what happened in his own way. Cig doesn't strike me as a guy who cares if he pisses off a star player. I honestly have no problem with it, he let Marsh know that he's not above anyone on the team. I could see someone like Saban doing the same and also providing the same response in a presser. I could see Day ripping into a player, but not giving full context or even much further info to the media. But everyone knows how Cig's personality is, so there should be no surprise that not only did he go off on the player, but he also did it publicly. Sorry, but I don't feel bad for Marsh, he's a professional athlete at this point and wanted to carry himself like he was Michael Irvin and his HC reminded him that he can act like that but he's not Jimmy Johnson, and he doesn't play that on his team

It's MLB these days. That is why I didn't want to have to look at batting average every damn day

I like Wade as a coach, and think it was time to remove Woodward as AD.

but seriously, the school got pu on probation, scholarship reductions, and Wade was given a show cause.

that will get you fired EVERYWHERE.




using your wife's personal checking account to pay a player's girlfriend hush money is still very much against the rules.

but if we're going to just completely decimate college athletics, I say might as well go all in with it.



It's impressive just how little any of those faces look like who they are supposed to depict.
