The defense is claiming that the text messages that got him busted were about cock fighting and not baseball

Yeah the architecture is great, probably makes for fantastic photography. The art deco (?) style is fantastic....I remember moving out there and starting out at Union Station, seeing the building, the art, the palm trees and my Ohio mind was blown. But now being a parent and sometimes taking my family out there, I pay a lot extra to avoid LAX....the shuttle, traffic, area, encampments at the gas stations...too stressful for me nowadays.

I wasn't expecting as much substance from the home architecture, particularly in the less affluent areas, but those builds predated the economic climates (or fleeting hollywood frivolities) that followed.

Then on the flipside, we drove through Beverly Hills (and surrounding areas), and played guess the zillow price. The architecture was diverse, but in more of a pick your americana way (with ultra cultivated landscaping).

Sure the houses were unreal, and people chose to park 6 figure cars on the street. But what amazed me were the gates. They were almost all unique. The one that took the cake was a 7-10 foot tall sliding slab of polished marble (or some similar elite stone). It was built out of the giant blocks you see on the ground level of a skyscraper holding a bank or courtroom or other stone meant to last centuries with style. I can't imagine the cost or engineering to get that thing to move.

Withrow was torn down and replaced by a residence hall a few years ago. It was a relic from a past long gone.

Hueston Woods and the lodge are still there. The lodge is a little dated but has an indoor pool for guests. Restaurant is okay as well. Not sure how many guests it has during non-event days due to a significant increase in the number of hotels around Oxford.

To indicate how good those guys were, Brockington (1973) and Otis (1975) led the NFC in rushing those years.

This is how I want to go. Either pills or stick my head in boiling grease.

One fun part was hitting so much traffic when we landed, that it just took us through surface streets all the way from LAX to Pasadena. We drove through compton and every bad part of LA, so we got a full feel of many of the areas. For as much as LA gets a reputation for being shallow, their architecture is remarkable, and not just in the nice areas. Previously I had only seen the beaches and Orange County, which has to be one of the least creative places on earth for architecture.

From 9 to 48? That's a lot more chickens that we first thought.

Good write up. That’s about how I see it. You forgot to add Stiles point total into your final figure. I’m hoping Fishback can get back on track. Would be nice to see him eke out a win.

Side note, Stephen Buchanan teched Hassan Yazdani in the gold medal match in Zagreb. The 4 pt throw was key in that match. I always thought he was an 86 kg wrestler. He looked gassed and seemed like he gave up at the end. Added weight plus twilight of his career does not equal peak Yazdani. He and Taylor had some phenomenal matches over the years. The US wrestlers do well for the most part too.

Those Washington women certainly looked 'blocky'. At least several inches wider than our Buckeyes. Am enjoying watching Kennedy work her magic on D, and the tandem of her and Jaloni is nothing short of fun to watch. Also fun to watch which 3-shooter gets hot for the Buckeyes, and hope they continue to get uncontested looks at the basket. Saw Kitt on the bench in warm-ups, but was participating in huddles, etc. Anyone know why/how she's injured? ETA to return?

She hurt her shoulder in the TCU game, They are hoping she can play at Oregon on Sunday.
