    Campustown Redevelopment

    Do you have an example of a peer institution that has a much nicer campus business district? The two other campuses I know best are Rutgers and UNC. Rutgers may be even dumpier, and UNC seems nicer/more aesthetically pleasing, but it’s still primarily restaurants and bars catering to the low...

    Momcilovic to lottery pick

    Edit: lol you’re right, I remembered him as more of a shooter, didn’t realize he had that bounce. Milan probably can’t match that lol. I’d also suggest Milan could be a poor man’s Doug McDermott.

    Momcilovic to lottery pick

    Nik Stauskas comes to mind - his career didn’t pan out but he was drafted 8th overall

    G league Ignite program shutting down

    I think NIL actually tips the balance of power away from elite one-and-done prospects, and I think that’s good for college basketball. Here’s my thinking - consider all the underclassmen who are outstanding college players, but borderline or low end NBA prospects. With NIL, those guys can stay...

    G league Ignite program shutting down

    I don’t see long term success for a system where the producers of value are locked out of monetary compensation (while their managers or ‘coaches’ get paid millions of dollars annually, and a sea of team administrators make hundreds of thousands of dollars annually). That old system was begging...

    G league Ignite program shutting down

    Crazy turn - 4 years ago this program was set up to give elite ‘1 and done’ prospects a route to get paid and play in the G league. Now, with NIL, it seems they can’t compete. This is a terrific sign for college basketball. Despite all the whining, NIL is improving college basketball by...

    Kelvin Sampson post game

    Since 2006, SEC has won 13 of 17 national championships. Big 12 has clearly emerged as the top mbb conference in the last couple years, but maintaining that is not easy.

    Kelvin Sampson post game

    His perspective on the fan base really opens my eyes (especially since he has experience coaching all around the country). Call me crazy, but I think the NIL era could see the Big 12 emerge in bball like the SEC has in football - we have so many programs (us, KU, Okie state, K state, etc) with...

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    Not only that, but we played in a non-con tournament of 8 teams featuring the preseason #10 and #15 ranked teams, along with another team getting AP votes (Boise State). We TRIED to play tough opponents. You can’t expect teams to do any more than that. Should we be held responsible for the fact...

    Melvin Ejim is part of the 2024 ISU Hall of Fame class!

    Embiid was DPOY and absolutely ate our lunch. His size and athleticism was kryptonite for Niang. If he wasn’t injured, I don’t think we beat them in the B12 tourney Wiggins averaged 17ppg as a true freshman that year and was top pick in the NBA

    Just came across this - haven’t listened yet but looking forward to it

    If you think electromagnetic waves might be causing cancer (potentially including your own) you could’ve just come out and said as much. American Cancer Society has a pretty fair summary of information on this...

    Regarding testing for potential carcinogens: this is a great updated article from a real scientist: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/12/18/all-the-carcinogens-we-cannot-see#:~:text=In%20the%20nineteen%2Dseventies%2C%20Bruce,the%20cell%20to%20divide%20uncontrollably.

    General Sickness

    Of course I agree on your last statement. But I don’t understand your overall point, and I don’t think that the truth of your statement means we should change anything about how we currently operate as a society. ‘Real science’ would never say something ‘can not cause cancer’, the way you...

    General Sickness

    I’ve been saying out loud since ~Christmas that we’ve had an easy winter with the kids. So far so good. Probably setting us up for severe flu cases in March (or maybe April when we plan to travel).

    General Sickness

    To your last question - yes, that is an accurate way to state it. We say something ‘causes’ cancer if it statistically increases the frequency of cancer cases in a large population. Edited to add: if some factor has been studied in a large population, and found to have no statistical impact on...

    Here’s a golden rule for consuming news related to ‘science’ and health: Never read any headlines in mass media about cancer or nutrition. That stuff is clickbait. If you read that stuff in mass media you are not getting a fair picture of science. If you want better content related to the...

    General Sickness

    With all due respect, medicine and biology in general are infinitely more difficult to work out causation compared to the perspective of human-developed technology like software and hardware (even though they all get lumped under the umbrella of ‘science and technology). There are simply too...

    My advice is don’t get too worked up about it (and I say that as someone in the general research area). As for breastfeeding, even a little bit supplemented with formula is probably better than straight formula. Now with all that said….. One of the things we know about health promoting...
