@BShark i think lots of people have had digestive issues of various degrees of severity. Whatever happens i hope it settles down for him and it becomes predictable and manageable.

@BShark ugh hope it isnt too intrusive, good luck.

@BShark best outcome! Whew. Glad to hear.

Is that a real pic? Lol

@Texas-Hawk-10 sweeeet

@Texas-Hawk-10 absolutely. Thank you for engaging with me on this. I wish i could have done the 1-2 hours out but these two were extremely bold. They say girls are more inquisitive and males usually more cudly but that (having very inquisitive rats) proved to be a double edged sword.

@Texas-Hawk-10 you said all the things beautifully. Opal was a lovely soul. Lily was a lump. Despite massive tumors Opal still got around remarkably, and she never bit a soul. When they injected her to put her to sleep she screeched, and then licked the vet’s fingers. When they were young they were remarkably athletic. Opal used to swing in the bars on the top or the cage and use them as monkey bars to get across the cage. I am not ashamed to admit that i cried a bit today. Mostly, I dont like being the angel of death to choose to end an energetic, intelligent and loving creature.

@rockchalkjayhawk I got them for my son. He pleaded for them and then lost interest, most completely when they got tumors. They became my pets thereafter. We have cats too.

I will differ slightly from @Texas-Hawk-10 in saying that at least in my experience the rats are higher maintenance than cats because they are supposed to be out of the cage for an hour a day, especially when living single, and are extremely active, and chasing around a rat isnt where i am in life so Opals daily out of cage time was shorter than i would have liked and usually involved me holding her while she tried to houdini my hands or groomed herself.

Theres my full disclosure. If i were a kid I would want a rat, but preferably a neutered male I think. And i think neutering also costs about $500 but limits cancer. So thats a hidden cost.

One a couple months ago, the other just now. They both had massive tumors. Apparently its almost inevitable with female rats. Cancer is a bitch, but more of a bitch for rats.

RIP Opal and Lily

@FarmerJayhawk nice to know WE properly identify talent even if we didnt get coward.

@SlimShaddy54 think its skoric. Couldnt find skopic

Tony LaRussa has the 2nd most all time wins of any manager with a .536 win percentage (not bad). He also won the big one twice with the Cardinals. Did fine with a solid franchise.

@FarmerJayhawk sorry thought we were talking about skoric not coward.

@FarmerJayhawk but didnt get drafted? How come?

100 months. Wow.

Luna, Richards and Freese are the biggest winners in this tournament i think, and maybe Arfsten. Richards would be WC no matter what, but vying for starter role. The other guys proved they belong.

Have to go back and watch but i think the set piece that resulted in goal for mexico was a bs call against Luna.

Btw freeman played 90 minutes and had 1 tackle.

@RockChalkinTexas you are whom I’m most excited to come back, and here you are! Also, DMack!

@BShark i think awful is harsh for Agyemang. Hustle is there, hes just too large. I find myself wishing his bones were shorter so his feet could contact the ball where it needs to be contacted.

I think the opposite about Freemans “pedigree”. “This kid who is lost on defense only made the team because of nepotism”

@dylans huge

@BShark nice. Would be great to put the core of that class together early

@BShark yep but these are our A list CBs. Biggest weakness imo

Poch getting it done without the regular attacking options.

Luna is a tough kid. He Mcglynn and de la Torre will all be there for WC.

Cade Cowell continues to struggle for club at Guadelajara. Looks like he will be on the outside looking in.

Nice to see Tyler Adams looking healthy and sharp.

Our CBs arent getting any younger or more talented. Im scared of a Ream, Zimmerman, Richards, Robinson rotation.

This schedule was already loaded. At least tbese are 2 historically good teams

@Texas-Hawk-10 nice!

@Texas-Hawk-10 wow not only 2 top 5 match ups but also Ws.

Also, the first 4 times I went to watch KU play Texas in Austin were all losses including one of KU’s 3 losses during the 2008 title run.

Good thing Texas kicked Barnes to the curb and then deposited themselves on that B12 curb.

@wissox enjoying the thread. Great stuff!

@Texas-Hawk-10 I am fascinated to see how Juan does with talent around him. Hope he finds his mojo.

@wissox way to bring perspective.

Were you retired or did you retire?

Crazy that Coward went 11th to the Grizzlies. Having uncertainty about whether to stay in to being drafted 11th seems a massive jump. Was there a mistake in valuation somewhere?

@Texas-Hawk-10 I am surprised. Pelicans were 21-61 last season. Wouldnt you take a flyer on more raw, high upside guys? Not guys with very specific and limited skill sets. I would have expected him to get a flyer on a more competitive team with a clearly defined role, like protect a lead by trading buckets, maybe paired with a rim protector.

@wissox there is no singular in “jazz”, bro!

Have a hard time betting he will retire since this feels like the first coherent roster weve put together in the NIL era. Bill might have a few in him yet.

What a difference a year makes. Would be fine if espn hype train ignores us completely until we make some noise.

@dylans your tag line is great.

@Texas-Hawk-10 ive watched the near perfect game durant had against us several times where we still beat him. Also, we shut down Flagg didnt we? Granted that was early in the season, before he got good and we got bad. Anyway, yeah Mobley was special.

@BShark so are we still down a starting wing then?

@Jhawk69 you should be a merry old soul?

Who knew? A winning fantasy strat saving cabbage til the end could be a winner irl too

43% from 3? Man. All worth the wait seems like.

@dylans hoping an investment in football now is an investment in basketball later.

Lance’ll make em dance

Are we getting closer to imposing harder transfer rules now that universities can pay athletes directly and there is a clearer contractual legal path? I dont think NIL destroyed college sports, it just pulled the curtain back. Now we have to align what the schools and fans want with what the athletes want. Time to make the fans happy and lock kids into multiyear contracts.

I would have taken 2 years of Konan over 2 years of Dickinson in a heartbeat

Also Diego Luna continues to show a different level of toughness
