I purchased a total solar eclipse road atlas, and have identified a maximum 14 hour drive time that ranges from Arkansas to New York. My final decsion will be based on the closest clear/mostly clear forecast 2-3 days out, then hit the road. Ideally I'll end up in central Ohio, which is around 9...

Problem solved; thanks...

I've always bought reasonably-low mileage vehicles, then held on to them for years, i.e. up to 10 or more. I don't ever see myself buying new b/c of the rapid depreciation in value, but wondering if a lease could make sense b/c of the safety & comfort features of a newer vehicle, less...

https://thebarkingcrow.com/nit-bracketology-rundown-march-9th/ So our fate is in the hands of the Committee....assuming there is a Committee. So do the Deacs have a "watch (more likely wait for a phone call an hour after the NCAA selections) party"?

NIL is pay for play, and not about paying guys to use their marketable images to promote themselves or a product. Nothing new here, but a little surprising in his frankness. “If you think about it, every quarterback we’ve had here has really played professionally,” Clawson said. “John Wolford...

Money talk at UNC Chapel Hill athletics Gaining access makes the world go around for journalists, enabling a revealing New York Times story this week on UNC Chapel Hill’s athletics department finances. Athletics Director Bubba Cunningham opened the door to writer Bruce Schoenfeld, who described...

Conspicuously absent from today's game was the guy on the video board giving in-game commentary. I felt bad for that dude last week; obviously just doing the job he was told (and hopefully paid) to do, but it was pretty lame and I'd guess he'd be the first to tell you. But anyway he was...

(for the record, I can't do any of these): Juggle Ride a unicycle Dunk a basketball Handstand Standing back-flip (on the ground/not a diving board) Throw a knife or ax and stick it Bounce a golf ball off the face of a club for more than 3-4 times Keep a wooden paddle ball thingy going I've...

While "no spectators" is the mantra this week, I did read where members will be allowed on the grounds. If that's the case, Sunday around #18 could be like the first time you saw the Sgt. Peppers album cover and tried to identify who was who. Regardless, I would not anticipate a roar from the...

Thought about putting this on the Pit golf thread, but slow sports news so might as well start a new one here. Just read the article in the WFU mag about Arnie & Buddy Worsham, and it reminded me that as part of a tour of the old campus some years ago I had the privledge of teeing it up at...

This has probably been discussed already and possibly ad nauseam, but there's a Clawson angle to Manning's fate: Even though we are now a football school (30 year-ago me would laugh at today me making that statement), "a rising tide lifts all boats" and vice versa. As basketball interest...

I purchased mine when thy were first offered (2008?) in the (for Wake anyway) "frenzy" of the post-Orange Bowl excitement. As those of you who also bought them know, you could get rights to purchase your selected seats for 15 years by paying $1,500 per seat. I'm guessing the overwhelming...

Was on the Gameday thread earlier but I don't see it now; maybe they took it down: Gold, Joel lots open at 2P. Blue, Orange and Senior Svcs. at 4P And then of course under the "Tailgate" section it say to "arrive early" so you can be in the stadium 30 min. before kickoff No way I'm waiting to...

Former Wake QB; transferred to Nebraska as a 3-year starter and now the possible front-runner for the Bengals head job. I don't recall the details of the transfer; why did it not work out for him at Wake?

Given today's political & social environment, is it a fair statement to say that any current DKE who aspires to any future highly visible position, i.e. judge, elected official, school administrator, coach, CEO, etc. will have the recent allegations potentially follow them throughout their...

Went online to do the Panda thing, and other than a $40 lot the others in the $18-$24 range have this statement: Standard sized vehicles only. Due to size constraints, this location is unable to accommodate minivans, midsize and large SUVs, pickup trucks, and passenger vans. That pretty much...

Reading a few mentions of the 66 point explosion vs. UVA in 1975 brought back a memory: Any of you mid-70's guys remember the fan (I think it was a student) who during any quiet moment in a football (there were lots of those) or basketball game would stand up and holler "Fire Hooks!!!"...

A friend of mine has been assigned to an audit team, and for cost austerity reasons the plan is to "buddy up" and assign you a roommate; most likely some dude who you don't know. Like most of us who haven't shared a room with somebody since college (and even then it was somebody you knew well...
