How much less? At least enough to just ignore threads like this, I suspect. Same here, though :lol: :cheers:

No sooner than I could write Jayden Daniels and Coveted Fifth Spot in the same sentence, I had already received a cease-and-desist letter from his lawyer and an angry lunchbox note from his mom.

I used to do a fair amount of work with Chinese companies and a buddy and I semi-joked how we should start a business that converts all of their current "english" stuff to actual english. I swear you could make a killing.



The first engineering firm I worked for was doing some controls work with IDEC products way back. We were dealing with the US distributor IDEC at the time. The guys there had a term for the language in the English manual that IDEC delivered to them; they called it Japlish :lol:. They would review them plus work with end users to give IDEC feedback on improving the English for the next manual revision.

That's a pretty bad take.

If the NCAA had either ruled that seniors would be eligible for one more year under the 5 for five or simply delayed changing the rules until after the season started, they could have avoided all of this.

But because of the timing, a lot of seniors felt they couldn't pass up the opportunity to enter the draft in the hope they would get a restraining order. Like most of the NCAA's problems, their own ineptness has brought this to bear.

FAQs
1. WHY DON'T I RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION EMAIL?

In this case, please kindly check in INBOX, SPAM MAIL & JUNK MAIL and you will see a confirmation email from us. In case you still don’t see it in those mail boxes, please contact us to get updated manually.

2. HOW LONG IS THE ESTIMATED DELIVERY TIME?

Please find it at this page: SHIPPING & DELIVERY

Normally, it will come sooner than estimated time. Sometimes it will take longer because of unexpected reasons like weather, transit issues, flight cancelation, local post office policy, customs, …

3. WHY I SEE MY TRACKING NOT FOUND ON 17TRACK.NET?

After you receive your tracking number, it will take about 5-7 days for processing. Then, when the package is sent out, the tracking number will be updated on 17track.net and you can follow its status.

4. THE TRACKING SAYS DELIVERED BUT I DON'T RECEIVE ITEMS

In this case, please follow these steps before reaching out to us:

4.1. Check inside the mailbox carefully, including safe places around it where it may have been placed if the mailbox couldn’t hold the package. Look inside porches and other areas around the front of the property. Check with neighbours in case the item was left with them or in their mailbox.

4.2. Check with other people who live with you, in case they collected the item and placed it somewhere. Finally, if you live in an apartment or other managed accommodation, check with the management office or reception in case they have the item.

4.3. You also should check with their local post office too, who may be holding the item. Sometimes the mail carrier will inadvertently mark the item as delivered while it is awaiting collection from a post office.

4.4. In some unexpected cases, your items were delivered at the front of your house by courier but stolen by other people (we was informed about this by some our customers). So we recommend that you should check camera at front house and send us the video, we are very happy to resend the items for you.

5. WHY MY ITEM IS HELD BY THE CUSTOMS?

Don’t worry! For some cases, your item will be held by the custom, awaiting for your claim. Please contact your post office to get support on this case. After you follow their guidance, the package will be released by the customs and transferred to your local post office.

6. CAN I GET EXCHANGE THE ITEM?

We only accept returns, refunds and exchange for some reasons: Not exactly what you ordered, wrong printed objects, wrong color and size caused by our mistakes.

We DO NOT accept returns and refunds if you just do not like the item when you receive it. All the item details have been clarified on our website.

7. DO I RECEIVE AN INVOICE FOR MY ORDER?

If you are a company or enterprise customer, we are very happy to provide invoice for you to work with your accountant if you need. Please send us a message and we will help you.

8. THE ITEMS ARE TOO LARGE (OR SMALL) WITH ME, NOT FIT ME?

In this case, please follow our guice dance as below:

8.1. Please check the size tag of the product to see if it’s correct as the size you choosed or not.

8.2. If the size tag is correct but the dimension is different with the size chart. Please help us to measure the item: bust, length, sleeve, shoulder and then send us the images of them.

*NOTE: Please put the items straight while measuring.

8.3. If the dimension is correct as the size chart but it doesn’t fit you, maybe because you forgot to read the size chart before choosing.

(Please note that there is always 1-3cm differs between items and size chart due to manual measurement, that is also noted by us on the size chart)

We had to read both in school


Go Set a Watchman wasn't published until 2015. My schoolin days were long past by then.
LSU and ND seem pretty closely matched in the overrated stat. But Texas shines there :lol:


Here are the bottom dwellers.


Tennessee -62
Miami-Florida -64
Louisiana State -77.5
Notre Dame -80.5
Nebraska -91.5
Oklahoma -93.5
Michigan -117.5
Florida State -118.5
Southern Cal -129
Texas -134.5
:lol:

Of course, by the same chart, Boise State is year in and year out the most underrated team.

The problem with this sort of chart, though, is that it can introduce significant error because it only ranks 1-25 while there are 130+ teams.
So if a team starts ranked #1, then ends up 7-5 and unranked (maybe gets in the group of "also received votes) will get the same score as a team that starts #1 and goes 3-9 and has not received votes for half the season.

And a team picked to finish last in their conference and initially receiving 0 votes but makes it to a high ranking will score the same as a team that is one vote from being on the board at 25 and makes it to the same high ranking.

Between the AP and the Coaches poll, I have always thought the one who ranked LSU higher was the better poll :dunno: :lol: :cheers:

I like Koval- really hope she improves at this aspect.


Koval had good put-back numbers when she got the ball over her head. Her problem, and the problem a lot of female rebounders seem to have, is that they bring the ball back down to their body before going back up and get stripped a lot. And Kate does not seem to have strong hands to start (this is one of the things Reese and Aneesah Morrow both seemed to have).

If Koval can improve her hand strength and her ball-handling under the goal in a crowd, she could be special.
