    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    Or maybe a time problem, people don't advance at the same rates. Some may take months, others years. If a kid wants to play, and he's not good enough CURRENTLY to help his team win games, then the player needs to find a different team, so he can play more minutes. This team wants to win NOW and...

    Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    Certainly, you make good points, but I have to take offense to "wrapping children in bubble wrap". I only point to the Delaware/New Jersey consortium who are in the process of building Islands to protect a bridge in one of their seaport bridges due to the size of modern ships. My point is not...

    Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    So the bridge protection system could not have been updated as the size of ships grew? Or Baltimore Harbor limited to certain size ships? We have upgraded airports to take larger planes, including cargo planes. We often limit tractor trailers based on tonnage and limit routes hazardous materials...

    Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    Well, think we will learn through investigation of the accident what was planned for in the original specifications for the Bridge. Lloyds of London probably will be sending an investigative team! As will the NTSB, state authorities etc.

    Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    Yeah, but to propose, design and build a bridge this massive across a harbor entrance that serves massive ships, and not at least predict the outcome of a MASSIVE cargo ship crashing into one of its support piers could be considered negligent, because, as you say, **** happens. The very, very...

    Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    Curious why they didn't protect the bridge structure with pylons around the structural members/piers. Bet when they rebuild they will!

    Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2024

    It seems In all the games since January I've been to he is always out on the floor during warm ups, interacting with managers, and on the bench encouraging and congratulating players. IMHO, this seems to be a very positive sign for him next year.

    Dear Jamie Pollard

    You would be asking for a personal favor (based on irrelevant data), by a person who has volunteered for and placed himself in a highly professional position and asking him to perform an unethical act. Even if he could do as you asked, his reputation would be highly questioned, and I think way...

    Dear Jamie Pollard

    Yeah, I have sat on some committees, after the "salesman" is gone, usually comments center around lets get beyond the BS and discuss the facts as we know them; we have limited amount of time! And if the "salesman" tries to oversell, it is absolutely detrimental to his case as he has wasted our...

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    Yeah, there seems to be a definite bias toward the ACC/SEC/and swansongPAC12, and an anti BIG12 sans KU. That Boston Regional probably will have stronger metrics than the final four, unless all other #1's win out. Think if I was a UCONN fan i'd be going WTF!

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    Yeah, realize we have to beat best teams to get a Natty, but we shouldn't have to beat the overall #1 seed to get to the final four if we are the best #2..
