We've been Olympic junkies for years now. But you're correct, seem to lose interest unless there's an American competing. Ice skating certainly. Even though ill-advised, applaud Vonn for giving it the old college try. One trains for years to get to that level, and when the time gets here, a...

Next year tOSU will be without Thornton, Tilly and Noel. Still a nice nucleus, but the xfer from Indiana hasn't impressed me. You don't get to be Mr. Ohio without scoring a ton of points, and to date, he hasn't done that. Sure, he can dribble around, but not the same as Thornton's 20+ points...

Well, just glad she's back. The rust will fall off......

Heck, my college roommate wrestled, when the refs pounded the mat 1-2-3 before a pin. When did that change?

My scarlet and gray glasses in no way project tOSU as a #4 seed. For most of year, have been hearing 'on the bubble' or 'first team out', so being one of top 16 teams (4 areas, times fourth seed) seems a bit out there. Have no earthly idea where they rank in the basketball world, but when one...

Thanks Gollum. As stated, moving back to C'bus (putting in a home bid as we speak), and figured would be a nice fall trip with wife, back to good old mother Miami. Stay at Heuston Woods, played the golf course many a time, but never stayed at the lodge. Graduated in 1971, so might expect that...

Guess was napping when NCAA changed their rules.....once you took a nickel by performing in a sport, you were banned from playing that sport at the collegiate level. Although, QB from Stanford played baseball in the Yankee system, for money, and then played football on the gridiron for the...

Well, guess we could sign more Mormon kids....and when they go on their two-year missions, come back more buffed out...joking folks, just joking.

Will watch to see whether the 'wanna be a Buckeye' idea lasts past Coach Mick's winter training. And when one starts jacking weights next to someone who's competing for your position. Plus who's ahead of you on the two-deep. All sorts of 'what-ifs' abound. Yeah, do hope that this class stays...

Smiled at your comments Jwin...lived in SF for 14 years, and was awestruck by the architecture downtown and in some of the near-in areas. Of course, some of the more 'elegant' areas had the better lines to the houses, and in the avenues, still had some, but more were cookie cutter type of...

Will state that am impressed that Elsa has grown from last to this year. Still hasn't got that 'mean streak' in her, but she's trying. Hobbs can give her a blow, but uncomfortable with Hobbs in during a comeback etc. Kitts seems to 'fill in the cracks' well on the glass. Don't know who's the...

Had a surprise party at country club when my wife turned 60. She was very much surprised, entering and finding 64 friends/family there. Anyway, had the band start with the Temp's "My girl", and second one was your 'Ain't no woman..." above. I actually danced with her, alone on the dance floor...

So, let me get this straight....this guy is suing the Jenners for leaking the fact that he screwed one or more of the Kardashians? Would think he'd be famous.....and sought after....

One of the good things California did was pass Prop 13. That limited growth on property taxes to 1% per year. Kept alot of seniors in their homes, from what you guys go through above. When houses sold, property value went to the sold value, and taxes changed thereof. But as long as people...

Golfing buddy played in Tiger's farm system, went to spring training every year with the big team, but ultimately ended up in AA or AAA. Anyway, he was around when Mark (the Bird) Fidrych was around, and used to tell tales of how crazy he really was. PS, Bob Gibson used to scare me, just...
