I’ve had some hardships over the past year and life can be a complicated mess but everyone has their ups and downs.
I got a big promotion a year ago but the benefits haven’t outweighed the negatives so I’m at a crossroads. It has brought me financial stability in these hard times though which I’m thankful for but I know I’m going to have to make a decision one way or the other at some point.
My son has become fully invested in baseball this year and the journey still continues. He went from Little League to All Stars to now travel ball and will pitch in his first 9U kid pitch game tomorrow so that’s very exciting. I’m a nervous wreck but can’t wait to see him perform. We have lived at the baseball field since April, and it’s been an honor to watch him grow as a person and player. I don’t think we’ll know what to do with ourselves when the travel season ends next month but basketball is next up for him and he’s excited for that. Hopefully this year I can get him into watching some KU games with me as he was curious at times last season.
With work - similarly I got a promotion about a year ago. Then immediately we were (are) and industry current administration is going after. Caused a ton of stress. Went to therapy to help me understand why I was hating work so much. It very much helped keep things in perspective. Just a thought if you haven’t tried it first before leaving.
Congrats on the baseball! Good luck to him pitching! I miss playing baseball at that age more than any other competitive sports I played.
My 6 year old came home singing this, which he picked up at school. I guess theres a clapping game that goes with it. I enjoyed the regional variations in the reddit thread.

I wonder if you guys have encountered any similar spoken word things (or other things) that varied greatly by region?
@Gorilla72 said in Soo , now what's next in all of this ?:
Yormark said today the Big12 is no KI her in discussions with Gonzaga and UConn. He indicated the “dream scenario” unfolded for the conference and will add no more teams.
I seen that today. Saying the dream Scenario when the 4 corner Schools came to the Big 12 put an end to Gonzaga & U Conn joining
Well the kitties won , -94-87. - -tell ya what , they jacked up a lot of 3 point shots. - -36 of them to be exact, 12 - 36. - -Tyler Perry throws up some insane stupid 3 pt shots, just comes down the floor no one touchs the ball , dribble , dribble , dribble & JACK.
20 – 30 from the line.- - Kaluma their big scorer , 23 points - - -Carter- -17- - & Perry 17 - -nothing that scares me
@dylans said in The Big 12 conference:
Fsu to the sec makes sense. I don’t get the appeal of the big 10 (for anyone really) other than media $$$
The appeal of the Big 10 for many schools is academic. Being a member of the AAU is a requirement for Big 10 membership and these are generally considered to be the top research universities in the country. Access to those research grants is very appealing to university presidents and the Big 10 has historically been considered the top academic league among the power conferences along with the PAC 12.
Academics are also why schools like Virginia, North Carolina, Duke, and Georgia Tech have been mentioned as potential Big 10 targets over the years.

@Texas-Hawk-10 It’s one thing to dislike/hate him as an AD, but I hope everyone is respectful that he was still a person with friends and family.
Exactly, a lot more to life then just athletics ,
@Texas-Hawk-10 Parents can teach their kids to have a strong work ethic, or to be lazy and self absorbed. Everything that’s been talked about here (except celebrities) is on the parents. It doesn’t matter if it was in the 1950’s, 1990’s or now. You can choose to raise them however you want.
I’m not disagreeing with you - just rambling. My parents taught me that.
Just more signs pointing at expansion. - -Deputy Commissioner of the Big 12 says " he would be SHOCKED if we don’t add member, and add members soon.
Saying referring to the PAC 1 , He says If we had any good news about media news we would be shouting from every mountain top, but we have silence- -Silence can mean something else.
Then this just broke - - the CW has struck a deal with the ACC , just adding another nail in the coffin of the PAC 12, the only option they have left pretty much is with Apple which would be 100 % streaming and your schools sure the hell not gonna be coming close to what the Big 12 schools going to be getting with Apple.
Re-affirming Deputy Commish echoed the statement of Yormork --We have a plan - we have a plan bout expansion and w hope to be able to get it done and get it done sooner or later
Talk came up about U Conn not sur here but sounds like maybe that might not be real until maybe the new contract come around , but not sure. - Deputy commissioner said part of what they are looking for in expansion is not necessarily the number - - 2- -4 what ever but looking at what schools are available and what or if they can add Media value.
They hope like when the new contract comes around , they say right now it’s like 0.75 cents on the dollar goes towards football, they hoping to separate completely separate contracts football & Basketball as to where it would be Basketball & Football 0.50 cents on evey dollar - -either way expansion is coming and think it’s coming very soon with Colorado and Arizona

Sounds like they are going to split.
And in a couple of years, the husband will be married to the girl he’s having the affair if history has taught us anything about these types of situations.
