May Madness

How about changing college basketball to a 2nd semester sport with the playoffs starting in May. I believe it can do 3 things to improve the sport.

1- Give the student athlete a semester for studies.

2- Better weather as season moves toward May madness.

3- Possible tailgaiting for games in March and April for schools in the north.

I went in to Preferences and checked the "Remove In-State Rivals forums" checkbox and yet I'm still seeing them. Does it just take some time? It's too bad because I like the banter normally, but the obsession with the other side is over-the-top this time of the year.

Possible rule change on transfers for 2020-21. Didn't see this posted and thought maybe deserved it's own thread. Seems limited to those mutually agreed transfers but still might be a big deal for those individuals.

..........first-time four-year transfers in all sports to compete immediately if they meet the following:

• Receive a transfer release from their previous school.
• Leave their previous school academically eligible.
• Maintain their academic progress at the new school.
• Leave under no disciplinary suspension.

And I am out now since this will likely turn into a hate-Prohm rally and EVERYONE will transfer freakout.

Just finished watching it. Another gem in the 30 for 30 library. Watching the first part took me back to remembering how crazy good a athlete he was. Always going to be one of sports greatest what if's. Shame that he did something so reprehensible like dog-fighting but it a way it seems like getting caught for it was the best thing to happen to him given the people that he associated with.

What time era in all of history would you like to live in, if not the present? You can go before age of men, any place, whatever.

Super late post but better than nothing!

"...“We were texting for a while and then finally he was like ‘come see me.’ I drove all the way to Westlake, it was like behind Cheesecake factory at some development parking lot. He texted me on the way there saying I have to keep my phone in the car. I was kind of sketched — if this really isn’t him, I have to keep my phone in the car. "
Dingess said she approached a “large SUV,” finding out it was Mayfield. “I got in the front and he said are we going to do this or not?… After I left he texted me you’re actually a really cool person but you can’t say anything, like it’ll ruin my career.."

Thanks to @BoxsterCy for the heads up. Im sure, as an unofficial member of CF, JLH would appreciate if you posted your favorite gifs and clips of her.

Stopped in to get some paintbrushes and noticed the sign. Probably a good omen.

I have a question that I'm struggling to find the answer for on the internets and am hoping there is someone that can point me in the right direction.

I've been covered through COBRA since I quit my job about a year ago. I recently accepted a full-time position again with benefits. My start date is Feb. 3.

Everything has been taken care of, I've made my new elections, have medical coverage through my employer. I'm technically covered since Feb 3.

Earlier this week I called to cancel my COBRA coverage. There wasn't any place for me to do it through the website. They told me to send an email to a certain address stating some personal information, what coverage I want cancelled (everything, in my case) and the effective date. (an email to cancel coverage? Amateur hour....)

Here is what has me flustered - I can only drop coverage on the last day of the month. I've been covered for all but the first two days of February, but I have to pay for the full month through COBRA. I also have to pay for 27 days of February through my new employer.

I'm irked that I have to pay for double coverage. Doing so is going to cost me an extra $300. Can I demand that my previous coverage pay me back to Feb. 3? Or at least refund me for the days between my email cancellation and the end of the month? Do I have any recourse?

Mediacom just jacked my internet by $30/month because my "promotional rate" of $60 (lol) expired, so my next expected bill is a ridiculous $92. I called them and they will not agree to take it back to the $60 price.

I checked century link and their top speed is 1.5 mbps. Are there any good options for internet other than mediaconjob? Speed and reliability is a must.

The lawsuit says the day the lease was signed for the Cheat Lake home, Dana Holgorsen agreed by text message to pay the rent.

It says the home was rented to Candice Holgorsen for $2,500 a month, that back rent is owed for July and August 2019 and nearly $20,000 is owed for cleaning and repairs.

Unprofessional..

Planning a guys trip from KC for the first day of the NCAA tourney. Lakeside is the closest to us, but it was pretty sad when I visited last Fall. So, we're going to try council bluffs. Of Ameristar, Harrah's and Horseshoe, which has the best sportsbook?

Happy Friday!

Here is my photo gallery! I finally got it done. Sorry it took me so long. This might be the biggest one I've had.

I'll make a separate post here soon with links to everything I've posted this week if you've missed anything!
As usual let me know if you guys need anything from me! Or just let me know any feedback from the gallery!

There is a facebook poll thing active right now. 16 schools. 4 rounds. Iowa state is one of the schools.

I’m more of a casual fan, but this feels significant - like it’s a must-win for the program to be on the right track.

I love Tyrese and absolutely think he should go if his stock remains so high...

But what on earth are these scouts watching? There are ZERO NBA- ready guys on this roster. If Tyrese is only as good as the sum of the teams parts, that's fine, he'll be solid on an NBA team... but is that seriously what NBA teams are looking for in picks 1-13?

He isn't good enough to be a game changer, clearly enough, and I'd think that's what teams with lottery picks are looking for
