That Mountain West conference is brutal..

I think SDSU just got back in the rankings and they are on their way to a loss vs USU.

And how about Creighton beating UConn by 15 with less than two minutes left. A game after UConn dismantled number 4 Marquette.

Creighton is one of my secondary teams and they are quite an anomaly. They go through three or four distinct stretches every season where they’re really good, then very beatable, really good back to very beatable….

Hawk WRs vs KC Chiefs WR woes; the money involved; the drops; spring practice improvement

I just read that the Chiefs need to make a lot of contract cap room to give a raise to Chris Jones, etc. Some of you know that KC's WRs Marquez Valdez-Scandling (MVS), Toney, and Mecole Hardman, had a lot of drops last year. Some drops were huge let alone the offside call on Toney. Rasheed Rice was a rookie last season and he came on to be the number two receiver.

Iowa's WRs had a lot of drops over the past 3 years. But a key difference is these are guys are pros and MVS I read has a $14 million contract outstanding. So he might really be a CUT or trade victim. Hardman caught the super bowl winning catch but he came back to KC this year in a trade with a big contract so he might be a cut victim.

The main point is Iowa's WRs I dont think are getting much money, maybe some NIL and their scholarship and their drops are very visible but the pros do it also. I still think and hope we hear from Spring practice that WRs are getting OPEN better and having BETTER balls thrown to them, more catchable balls, and they are making MOST ALL the catches. KC's WRs are many times wide open and that can help the Catch vs Drop ratio.

Did he kill her?

Anyone else following this story? Guy and his fiancé buy a camper van, set off to tour the country. Allegedly they make it to the Grand Tetons but not Yellowstone. He ultimately returns to FL, she’s nowhere to be seen. He lawyers up; has nothing to say.

Lol from looking at a Gamecock forum

Don't know how I got there but it was quite amusing. I think it was the 247 message board... anyway

I always wondered why people like swoopes and mulkey said that clark shoots 40 times a game until I read their fans threads.
they thought Caitlyn scored 49 points on over 49 shots. They don't understand the box score gives total shots (that # includes 3's) separate from threes. They thought she was 16-31 from 2 and 9-18 from three.

Congrats, Iowa!!! You're #2!!!!



AND, you get the bonus-pack of babies with deformed GI tracts with all the atrazine flying around!!!


Scientists have identified a possible cause for intestinal malrotation; a common but poorly understood condition present at birth in which the gut doesn't rotate properly during development.

US researchers found that exposure to the herbicide atrazine can disrupt gut rotation development in frog embryos, whose guts develop similarly to humans.

"Our results have provided new avenues to explore the underlying causes of this prevalent birth anomaly," says molecular biomedical scientist Nanette Nascone-Yoder from North Carolina State University.

U.S. fines firm $1.5 million for hiring kids to clean meatpacking plants

One of the country’s largest food sanitation service providers has paid $1.5 million in penalties for illegally employing at least 102 children to clean meatpacking plants on overnight shifts in eight states, the Labor Department announced Friday.

The company, Packers Sanitation Services Inc., allegedly employed minors as young as 13 years old to use dangerous chemicals to clean razor-sharp saws, head splitters and other high-risk equipment at 13 meatpacking facilities. The plants are operated by some of the country’s most powerful meat-processing companies, including JBS Foods, Tyson and Cargill. Those companies were not charged or fined.

Investigators learned in recent months that at least three children suffered injuries during their work.

“The child labor violations in this case were systemic and reached across eight states, and clearly indicate a corporate-wide failure by Packers Sanitation Services at all levels,” said Jessica Looman, principal deputy administrator of the Labor Department’s wage and hour division, in a statement. “These children should never have been employed in meat packing plants and this can only happen when employers do no take responsibility to prevent child labor violations from occurring in the first place.”






Packers Sanitation Service Inc’s payment of $1.5 million civil penalties is the result of a federal investigation that began in August.
Gina Swenson, a spokesperson for the company, said in November that the firm was confident in its hiring policies.
“While rogue individuals could of course seek to engage in fraud or identity theft, we are confident in our company’s strict compliance policies and will defend ourselves vigorously against these claims,” Swenson said.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.

You have to credit Fran tonight boys...

Fran did a good job tonight with having the right people on the court given the foul constraints of Freeman and Dembele. Went to the 2-3 zone was effective and the right move as he had to play the same 5 guys for a long stretch tonight.

I've been a critic just like many of us, but he did pretty well tonight I thought.

Ya did good Fran tonight!
