lol. I suffered through Paramount's controls and eventually found it. Fuck all.

Which leads me to bring up YoutubeTV has the best interface in the business. Cable or streaming. The rest are absolute trash.

by **Nordic** Sun 24 Mar 2024 - 23:37

Ok. With that out of the way. Back to more important shit. How do I make up for the $25 loss on GCC?

Twitter feed me :). I can't go back to that blackhole to see it.

HBO/Max has games as well.

Grand Canyon is a for profit university since it was sold to ann education company in CA about 20 years ago. They tried to get the Federal Court to reverse the DOE decision to make them a non-profit.

Same outfit tried to make a run at Cornerstone University in GR shortly after the state of MI approved their university status but got shut down.

I've had direct family members that have worked for both 'for profit' and ''not for profit' (lol) universities for over 50+ years combined experience between the two. They are both disgusting and the altruistic view of state funded universities vacated over a decade ago. They are all for profit now. The only real difference between the two is legacy and endowments.

It’s funny, my sleeping hours have been really weird, so I was up last night, and I decided to watch, “ why I hate Christian Laettner”

There was a line in the documentary that said, most people can remember where they were at when that shot went in

I started laughing because my wife was a lobbyist at the time for the natural gas pipeline industry, and she had access to her company’s suite at the Palace. For whatever reason the finals were being held at the palace that year for high school basketball. So she just said why don’t you take the suite and my father up there and watch some games. I called about 4 or 5 friends and we went up there. And sure enough during one of the games that game was on and we were watching it on the TV in the suite so just like they said, I remember exactly where I was when that shot went in

Larttner by the way, came from a real blue-collar tough home certainly wasn’t the preppy boy they made him out to be for his image

Exactly.

"Public" universities have presidents making hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dollars pay coaches millions of dollars, pay players, take gazillions of dollars in corporate and government grants (no strings attached I am sure) and have students teach each other.

No moral high ground there.

by Zurn Mon 25 Mar 2024 - 9:30

Stayed up to watch Yale. They were run out of the game in the first 5 minutes.

The Bama-GC game was fantastic. Have never seen a game that was actually relatively low scoring seem like both teams scored 100.

Followed by an OT Houston - A&M game.

by **Robert J Sakimano** Thu 28 Mar 2024 - 20:10

Sweet 16 about to tip off.

My excitement is lukewarm. I'll have it one the next 4 days, casually keep up with scores as I ead, nap or hang out with the cat.

I'm actually more interested in the women's tournament. For me, a lot more interesting storylines, teams, potential match-ups and personalities.

by **Robert J Sakimano** Thu 28 Mar 2024 - 22:13

Clemson/Arizona game looking like it might be a good one.

Clemson has led pretty much the whole game, up 70-67 with 1:40 left over on TBS.

by **kingstonlake** Thu 28 Mar 2024 - 22:23

How Arizona left that dude in the yellow shoes on the floor is beyond me. He got torched on defense three possessions in a row.

For the h8rs I’m pretty sure that seeing nc state do better than them in basketball eats a North Carolina person alive

I feel like the Spurs should try and get Edey and build their bench unit around him. Just have a 7'4" dude at all times.

Why the Spurs and not the Pistons?

I'm not a Pistons fan. I'm not a Spurs fan, either, but it's what I'd be trying to do if I were them.

Use to like the Spurs. Liked the Pistons for decades. Gores has been fucking up for years. Can he finally get a no-brainer pick?

by **Travis of the Cosmos** Fri 29 Mar 2024 - 23:16

lol Edie is like a second round pick at best. He’ll get eaten alive at the next level.

He was saying spurs because they already have a 7’4 freak

Pardon, me. Haven't watched more than 5 minutes of NBA in the last 5 years. Couldn't name a single Pistons player. Who knows? Edey could become the next Bill Laimbeer

Halftime score of the UCONN/ILL game was 28-23 UCONN
