Jury Duty

I've been summoned 4 times, but this week was the first I've ever gotten to go. I served on the grand jury - pretty freaking cool actually. we heard a bunch of different types of cases and really got a feel for what law enforcement is dealing with in our county.

Have you ever done it?
I have not but I once received a call from a man pretending to be a detective trying to solicit me for money because I "missed" a jury summons that never existed.

2027 OH LB Brayton Feister (Verbal Offer)

I have seen him play numerous times. My takeaway was 'this kid is a football player and plays with all heart.. get him on your team and figure out position later".. He's a mauler.. ONLY reason I don't like him at RB is his style.. If he has a chance to break away or hammer into 3 defenders, he goes full bull and looks to make contact.. I worry about health at the college level if he continues that at RB

I never saw the lightning speed but another poster sites that he has almost elite speed.. I've seen more of that speed this year than prior years.. He's note a juker..

Will Howard was actually very solid. Krenzel was a serviceable game manager.
Will earned and deserves his legendary status, but winning rewrote his story. As did a system that let him fail twice (once with a big injury), before he was granted a third chance as a play-in game before the quarterfinals.

Stroud or Fields would have loved that redemption offer. Barrett would be debatable how it would go, because if he was not hit in the head 795 times by switching to a Ryan Day offense, it would be intriguing if he could match Will Howard's playoff run with that talent around him.

2027 OH LB Brayton Feister (Verbal Offer)

Seems like there's a number of long-in-the-tooth members here on BP. Do remember (circa 1955), asking Dad how can we have Hopalong Cassidy in the Buckeye backfield, when I watched him on TV that morning?.....
Way too early for me, but my equivalent was Nathan Williams who played RB at Washington Courthouse and was very good. He ended up at the "Viper" DE/LB spot here, but he was really tough to bring down at RB (speaking from experience having played against him).

On that note, had anyone who has watched him play have any strong convictions that Feister will play offense or defense at the next level?

Advice on books to read

Or, you could just rewatch "Rise of the Machines". Certainly can believe that super intelligent AI constructs would view humans as flawed. Hopefully there's an alternative path where the constructs 'help' the humans become better, rather than be totally irradicated. Do want to purchase the CIA book, might start seeing spooks everywhere. Thanks for the reading tips. Am currently immersed in 'swords & sorcery', and future history of earthlings entering the cosmic stars....

Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 20 Straight B1G Titles)

Dumb question. Is it 'mandatory' that each team puts their #1 v #1 etc down the line? Or would a coach put their #6 singles against visitor #1, and then have their #1 go against opponent's #2 etc? In essence, sacrificing a L, versus maybe gaining an edge against the rest of opponent's line-up? Would think it's the 'gentlemanly' to do, but strategically makes sense. Probably not worth the time to respond, but hey!

Miami (OH) Redhawks (Basketball Official Thread)

Went there during the Withrow days, most HS had better facilities. Millett was waaaay across campus, so didn't attend much. Invited to a sorority dance there, seems like eons ago. Must be something in the water in Oxford town, as rare that the guys and the gals are both winning.....does anyone know if Heuston Woods still open, it's lodge etc? Might want to take wifey down there for week end once we get established in C'bus....thanks in advance.

the standard at Ohio State is Ohio State.
The standard is absurd and awfully close to perfection.
winning DOESN'T cure all. it clouds your vision and tricks you into thinking that you're better than you actually are.
Which is why Will Howard and Craig Krenzel are beloved.
