Fly With Cy going to Austin this year

1961Cylones
Just got an e-mail from the Iowa Lottery that they're having a "Fly With Cy", contest again this year, and it's going to Austin!!

I was lucky enough to win last year, so I doubt I have much of a chance, but still try, must I!!!

If I do get lucky, I pretty sure I'll sell the plane tix and cruise down I-35. I'm a big guy and didn't fit very well on the charter they had set up. That's not their fault, though. I was also a little disappointed we were so far from the Strip, although that probably saved a few hundred in gambling losses... My wife had never been, so it was a cool experience for her no matter what.

All in all, it was a great time. The new stadium is sweet, and was right across the street from our hotel. We kicked some serious butt, albeit over struggling and rebuilding program. Maybe we should consider adding the Rebels and maybe even Hawaii. They'd both be nice destination trips every other year or so, and joining our conference might help them beef up recruiting and attendance to the point they're more competitive.

Anyway, for the average sized people, Texas should be a blast and one last chance to watch us kick their behinds on the turf. If you see Earl Campbell, tell him BDS says hi, I think he'll know who I am.

MonsterVerse Thread

Triggermv
Since we've got threads for pretty much every other cinematic universe, figured it was about time I started a MonsterVerse one. I've been a pretty big fan of all the movies so far. Anyway, l figured I'd kick things off by showing they started filming already on the Godzilla vs Kong sequel.

How much did Lincoln Riley know?

Boxerdaddy

When did Lincoln Riley know that USC was moving to the B1G?

Has there been any reports on how much Riley knew before he took the job at USC? Did he go there expecting the move to the B1G? Was that a point that helped recruit him?

To me it seems unlikely that he had no knowledge prior to him accepting the position

Friday OT #2 - Dumpster Diving

Angie
I got a $100 gift certificate to Target for a photography session I did for some friends. My boss and I were discussing yesterday how we both hate going into grocery stores and no stores. I mentioned that I have to hit up Target this weekend, and she reminded me it is move-in weekend for apartments. All those parents optimistically buying cleaning supplies…

What is your take on dumpster diving? Have you ever grabbed anything from the side of the road? What was it, and was it worth the experience?

I used to have a coworker in her upper 50s who made it a sport on move-out day to go through all the dumpsters in Campustown and grab stuff (really nasty pots and pans, etc). She would take the day off of her well-paying job to do it. The practice always struck me as a great way to contract hepatitis at her age!

NIL fund created for Texas Tech Lady Raider Basketball players

K
Different group than the one funding the football NIL but the Lady Raiders get the same payout, $25K annually. Smart to pay the same amount as football. I'm surprised the Lady Raiders NIL was announced before the mens basketball NIL, which I assume will happen. Anyway, the Lady Raiders were the first Tech team to win a NCAA team championship so there is a soft spot for them among many alumni.

Concern About Race Discussion

HawaiiClone
I missed until today the story about South Carolina basketball player Aliyah Boston not initially getting an invite to the ESPYs and the media discussion that followed.

www.si.com

Aliyah Boston Explains Why She Declined ESPYs Invite - Sports Illustrated

The South Carolina star said she was hurt that ESPN decided to invite her only after social media noticed she was not initially invited.
www.si.com www.si.com

It was good to question why she didn't get invited, but what mostly got lost was that it appears that none of the nominees for both top male and female college athlete were invited based on a nomination for the award alone. I couldn't find any articles touching on this. I only saw a couple of replies to Aliyah's tweet about this that touched on this. It concerns me that there was such a lack of a full look at what happened.

My 18 year old son HATES it when I tell time in terms of minutes before or after the hour such as, "We're leaving at a quarter to five" as opposed to, "We're leaving at four forty-five.". I think its related to the types of clocks we grew up with. I grew up with an analog clock. He grew up with a digital.

Kayden FIsh

Seems like a late bloomer. TJ must have seen him at Peach Jam and decided to pull the trigger. Sounds like the big dogs are starting to offer. Well Boston College anyway.
