Where Nobody Knows Your Name about life in baseball's minor leagues sounds like it could be an interesting read.
Blinked and I missed it, Ladies pounded Loserville 10-0 in 5 innings. Looks like they play again at 6pm and then again Sunday.
If it weren't for TKP, I'm not sure what I would've done during lectures, but I still wouldn't have been taking notes. Thanks for the good times Joe!
Julia Fixsen finished 5th in pole vault.
Star Price does not advance to the finals in the 800m.
I made my account when we first started sucking so I could get explanations for why we sucked.
Over a decade later and we still suck. But now I know why! Thanks TKP :)
Had to check. Almost 12 years 😳😳
Y'all this site got me through dark times back then. Thank you Joe for creating this community. It's really been a great ride
Mayonnaise and cheese. On Pussy Touchdowns.
Sara Killinen finished 8th and will snag one team point.
My dad has diabetes
sugar free snack wafer day
How about a nice hot bowl of Quaker oats?
THE TEAM THE TEAM THE TEAM GO SPORTS.
I love sports and I love broccoli, that's why I'm here.
So far on Day 1 of NCAAs a couple of Hokies have competed. TV coverage on ESPN+.
Nathaniel Paris is sitting in 6th after Day1 of the heptathlon.
Julia Fixsen cleared her first two heights on her first attempts so she is sitting in a tie for first at the moment.
Afterthought first two throws, Sara Killinen is sitting in 5th. Real surprise is that the thrower from Cal who won the the ACC title by several feet is currently in 6th. I don't expect that to last but still interesting. The 1 seed out of Minnesota is also way down in 12th.
Star Price goes in the 800m prelims at 420 pm ET.
Mens events start at 6pm ET.
I have diabetes. Pie is the enemy. Cake is the enemy. May I interest you in sugar free snack wafer day?
This one made me sad. I always enjoyed his interviews on sports radio.
I've certainly enjoyed being here for ~11 of those years.
If you go to Paige Drobny's page at iditarod.com, there's a nice table of all the checkpoints she went through and the data displayed for each. Good stuff.

The whole point of the ellipse is to inform a reader that you are NOT quoting sequentially. It's not misleading, that's the point of using it.
The idea is to remove information that do not provide useful information, not to remove information that contradicts what you're trying to say.
From UAGC's Writing Center:
Use an ellipsis to omit information from a direct quote.
You may have a long quote that contains words or phrases that do not provide useful information. You can use an ellipsis to remove some of the unneeded words. However, DO NOT omit words in order to change the original meaning or intent of the original author. Take care to preserve the original meaning of the quote.
As a temporary semi-invalid, I can only partake vicariously of the fishy experience as my knee replacement heals. I have been given a nice book to help fill the hours in the recliner by my neighbor, Hokie Trout Paul. It is entitled Journey on the James, by Earl Swift. He follows the James River from a spring beneath a tree's roots in Highland County to its mouth at the Bay. Walking, sorta tubing, canoeing and then kayaking its length while recounting long forgotten history of indigenous contact and pre-rail commerce with a photographer who supplied the support and transportation along the way. Not my usual fare, but the author tells the story well and while there's barely a mention of fishing, I was engrossed. For any of you who ply the Jackson and James, this book will be a fun read, but anyone interested in Va. history will likely enjoy it as well.
So, it's time for the shad run to get cranked up on the James and Rapp, spring is creeping slowly in, and my damn knee hurts like hell! Somebody go catch a fish.
I messaged them over on FB to mention that we'd love to see this happen!
Did anybody hear or read any further developments in the death of Daniel Klein's dog?
Game 2 is going but ESPN+ and ACCN both are giving me content not found or the video is no longer available. Hokies up 1-0 in first
