You say they can not afford to or do not want to spend the money?
I say how can they afford not to if they have any hope of remaining relevant and putting a team together to compete. It is a matter of producing a viable product to compete in order to get the money from the SEC basketball TV contracts. Maybe get Woodside Energy, Lady of the Lake, and Nike to all contribute some cash. 30 million for a basketball team seems excessive but I guess that is the going rate. I don't have a clue. I would expect some of the expenses would be offset by ticket sales etc but still that is a lot of money. I do not see how they can justify a new Pete's Palace when no one is going to show up to watch this team perform. I wonder if it would be wise to look at the other sports that are just not that big with the fan base tennis, golf etc Not sure how much money these sports are budgeted. How does the "Woodside Tiger Mens Basketball team sound for $30 million? :lol: We got accept and face the music, Money talks and bullshite walks. You want to be relevant in a sport you need big bucks and corporate sponsor.

That's and easy answer. Allowing unvetted immigration will do it every time it tried. Corrupts a countries culture. You won't see this in Japan however.

Can you imagine a debate between AOC vs JD or Rubio?
Please explain what qualifies her to be POUS.
Enumerate what she has accomplished in her governmental role.
Laws passed, actions taken, bills introduced, committees chaired, papers written extolling her vast knowledge of government. Looking for some positive reinforcement. I already am only too well aware of the negatives.

Why not go find a new fresh face instead of bringing back a retread. Surely there is some young coaching talent out there that can bring the program back to success without all the inherent drama Wade would bring. I do believe anything would be better than the status quo.

Best microwave story ever. See if you can out do this one.
In Louisiana Prisons there is a Federal non smoking policy mandate. Of course DOC sells smokeless tobacco products in the canteen. The prisons make a lot of money off these sales. Prisoners dry out the tobacco in the microwave to make cigarettes, They use newspaper to wrap the tobacco in to make the cigarettes. Since non smoking policy no longer are lighters sold. Now comes the microwave miracle. Lead pencil is used to scratch a patch on paper then placed in the microwave till it ignites and the burning paper is used to light the cigarettes. Tobacco is banned to protect inmate health and welfare. So now smoking snuff and using ink printed newspaper to make cigarettes is infinitely more hazardous to their health.
Now can you imagine what food taste like that is cooked in the microwave after this. With the menthol snuff and the burning paper the Ramen noodles a distinctive smoked menthol flavor. The "hook ups" can tie up a microwave for at least an hour. So if you think the office microwave is interesting you have not seen nothing till you see desperate smoking addicted prisoners at play.
If want validation, just ask any DOC correction officer :spank:

Mamdani and the knifer have something in common. They both believe you can attack and threaten the life of a cop and expect the cop to let you. Forget wat happened to the poor girl on subway from Ukraine when that freak with the knife killed her in just a few seconds. Insanity is the new norm. Strange as it seems there are those who actually believe a guy aggressively threatening the cops life with a knife in his hand should be coddled.

. [quote]At a Glance: In the U.S., a photo ID is required for various activities, including buying alcohol, opening a bank account, applying for food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, and Social Security, renting or buying a house, buying or renting a car, flying on an airplane, getting married, purchasing a gun, adopting a pet, applying for a hunting license, renting a hotel room, getting a fishing license, buying a cell phone, picking up prescription medication, visiting a casino, holding a protest or rally, donating blood, purchasing mature-rated video games, purchasing tobacco, and applying for unemployment benefits. A photo ID helps prove identity and ensures compliance with legal requirements.

Yet, many claim it is unnecessary to have ID to vote in an election! Often playing the race card, stating it is discrimination. Some wrongfully site the voting rights bill. There is no restriction imposed on your right to vote only that you provide proof that you are legally qualified to vote. Thune promises a vote in the Senate. Let the debate show why those opposed want people to vote who are not able to prove that they are legally qualified to vote. Seems obvious that a Negative vote means you want to allow voting rights to those who do not legally deserve to vote.

we all saw what a financial response Butt Light and Targay got for their making a statement stand that offended their customers.

Well some businesses people are smart and successful and some are not.
Alienating potential customers is a good way to go out of business. Michael Jordan business model everyone wears shoes so why piss off a potential customer by taking a political stand that may offend said person. Neutral is the appropriate gear for any business that does not want to lose business from potential customers who object to whatever stand is proffered.

I hope he does not VIP treatment. Book deal. TV rights. Special treatment. Girls friends, Hope he gets Gen Pop where the real hoods can teach him about how the game is played on the inside. If he has enough money in his account he can buy protection. If not he will be somebodies toy boy. I would think putting him in Administrative Segregation would be worse. One hour a day out of the cell Exercise in dog run. No canteen. Restricted visitation. Really not fun. No drugs in there either. Does not take long to become institutionalized under those conditions. Some end up on suicide watch which is even worse.
