Five hundred years, isn't that just a rounding error? Just 500 years from the start of this prophesy...

Bracket just released:

As the cartoon bracket is finishing we want to get a jump start on next bracket which is Villains.

Below is a list committee people have put together as usual I will pitch for new blood to join the team. Also as a committee we have been looking at format of what should or shouldn't be in so list of nominee's isn't incredibly large.

@2speedy1 had some great insights that would of helped the cartoon bracket but sadly it got after cartoon bracket was announced.

We are looking to keep the superhero/comic book characters to a minimum, and possibly eliminate monsters and robot villains as well as horror to make things more manageable.

I’ll repost what I said in the 2024 thread and thought we need an update.

PCA with a beautiful swing on a double to left center and Amaya goes yard both in the 4th.

Post any news you have about Big 12 players.

Seeds are out. Wrestling starts on the 16th.

Looks like Carr should have a bye and will likely face Caliendo in the semis. After that would likely have Jacques or Monday in the finals. Should be Carr next topic setting up a 2/3 with Messenbrink at Final X.

Coleman has a small but STACKED bracket. He’ll wrestle Keckeisen first round.

Ian Parker got the 3 seed and he’ll face Ridge Lovett in the first round. That will be a tough one.

So now that it's starting to heat up, I turned on the AC last night and it wouldn't come on. The AC unit is only 2 1/2 years old and I had the HVAC company do an annual checkup on my AC unit just a few weeks ago, so I wasn't very happy. Of course, this all happens on a Friday night so all I get is the company's answering machine and I know there's no way I can get one of their techs to come fix it until Monday at the very earliest. Meanwhile, the temps are supposed to be mid-80s today and near 90 on Sunday and Monday.

After spending a few hours poking around trying to diagnose the problem, I discovered the issue. When the HVAC tech came to our house a few weeks ago to do the AC checkup, he inserted the breaker thing upside down into the AC power box on the side of my house, so the unit had no power. I re-inserted it right side up into the power box and the AC popped on just fine. Now I'm wondering if I should call the HVAC company back and leave another message indicating that I fixed their error, or if I should just let them do a service call to see if they can identify their own screw up and see if they try to charge me for it.

I'm tempted to do the latter because I'm a little pissed about another issue. When this HVAC company did their annual checkup on my AC, they told me the run capacitor on my unit is starting to get weak (again, the unit is only 2 1/2 years old). They recommended that I have them install a new Soft Start Kit ($323.51) and High Performance Run Capacitor ($319.82) for a total of $643.33 plus tax. Now I know little about HVAC, but I'm pretty sure I can pick up a brand new capacitor for around $30 and install it myself after watching a YouTube video.

It just torks me off how these companies rip folks off. I'm still trying to decide if I should let them come to my house to see if they charge me for fixing their own screw up.

Are you doing any weed today (4/20)?

When would be the best time to retire his jersey? Discuss.

Sadly, it appears that the marvelous @NATEizKING did was not so prescient as to map out a 2026 version of the long running series. Alas!

It won’t be done properly, I suppose, but here we are. Could I get a pin please, @Connor_Ferguson?

And to start out with, looks like former Cyclone QB (and current Colorado State Professor) Todd Bandhauer has a son. A very large son. Recently offered.
