I'm guessing the timing is no accident or coincidence.

... and is less likely to be found in non-compliance with NCAA rules.

The NCAA sent out a Q&A to members clarifying some NIL activities are impermissible. Here's a sampling of them: "It would seem, at this moment, the definition of NIL has different interpretations around the country," Chaves said.

Someone tell me again how Chaves and Martinson are not doing things.

Griz AD Jim O'Day is always a good listen; frank, rational. Enjoy at the 34 minute plus mark too ... https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nuanez-now-july-13-2023-hour-2-jim-oday/id1121407684?i=1000621095967 O'Day sees my 4-4-2 break-up of the PAC and the MWC looking at Texas for fill should they need it.

Beware of college kids with cell phones, twitter, and time, Kris.

Looking back, recruiting is cyclic. That 2000-2010 era the first rounders were American and going the college route. When first rounders become more Canadian or Euro/Russian it's more MJ.

Is Toews healthy? Only Jon knows. Toews would be a "role" pick-up: 3rd line center; responsible defensively; draws; maybe PP2 unit in front; and that intangible of a guy with three Cups when nerves start to appear on the bench. Any scoring he chips in is gravy.

It was eligible to claim Social Security next year (built in 1959). Residence halls take far more abuse than class buildings by their very nature (constant occupancy). That, and today's students want bright, shiny, and new ... plus already installed VESA brackets to hang their 90" 4k LCD TV (for coursework of course). <- that too was cynical snark in case anyone missed it

Many were immediately "down" on the driver. This is a case where the "48 hour" rule showed this was truly a terrible accident and great misfortune.

I had Toews going to COL until they got Ross Colton and J Drouin and R Johansen, three guys who can play the middle. When EDM sent away Yamamoto it was a signal to me that Toews would land there.

Eat right; exercise; die anyway.

From "God's view" of the arena, chairs in rows are numbered clockwise. What you should be asking is "how many seats wide is 102"? If it's 24 seats you have an answer.

No chippahs; all grindaz .... a-a-a-a-gain.

Some of you are not great at deciphering snarky sarcasm. Hint, an example: "Wonder if Bubba has ever come up with an idea like that."

To the working group, sure. But I get the consultant gig with the final decision makers after they get the committee's recommendations. They'll need assistance unpacking the fact finding results.

We'll need a working group to vet potential committee members.

I'm liking this Perron fellow more and more by the minute.

That's pretty good. Gonna write that down. Goal: beat the state universities and win in playoffs Got it. Wonder if Bubba has ever come up with an idea like that.

KFC cole slaw back in the day was 1000x better than today.

Based on Pollard in background on right, I'd say MVI, south end looking NE.

I try not to.
