Not trying to be a story topper here, but my last trip to Canada the border guard asked me really polite questions about my visit.

Brandi is very close to the top of my "absolutely do not miss a show when the opportunity presents itself" list. I've had the pleasure of seeing her in quite a few different venues and settings, and she never fails to take me places. I love her. So sorry the weather ruined that show for you.
People on the main board care very deeply about seeding. Seems strange to me. There are a lot of really smart people on there who say exceptionally intelligent things until they say that past seeding and championships are closely correlated (they might be, but we don't know that) and that past seeding has some sort of relationship to the current season (it definitely does not). People care so deeply about things like that. I find it strange.
Exactly. And people are so unbelievably bad at being happy or thankful. It doesn't mean anything if Duke doesn't win it this year. Five championships. How freaking lucky are we? It would be neat to win in his last year but settle your mess down if you think it has larger implications.
Along those lines...it is beginning to dawn on me (right or wrong) that so much of our popularity among top recruits is that we send top guys to the league just about every year, and I suspect that in the recruits' eyes, the fact we are the school of Zion, Ingram, Kyrie, Tatum et al trumps whoever won the last national title...we're really good, sometimes we win it all, no horrific thing if we don't. When I graduated I would have given one small finger for one national title so that's my perspective.
It's Michael Jordan's birthday today, btw.
I got curious - Bill Russell retired after the 68/69 season. Michael Jordan's NBA career began in 1984, a 15 year gap. Michael Jordan has now been retired for nearly 19 seasons.
