  1. Way over my head. Could be nonsense for all I know. But this research guy says the virus likely evolved within another animal before it got to humans.
  2. These people are wack jobs but universities and pro sports design to make the teams part of your identity. That's why we get to upset with losses and are so happy when they win. We take it personally by design. Even us normals would be good to take a step back sometimes and remind ourselves these guys out there are 18-23 years old. They are babies, even if they are 6'8 230lbs. We're living and dying on the actions of teenagers. It's pretty ridiculous.
  3. The "comparison is the thief of joy" thing? No, that's something that been out in the world for a while now. Toonkee is the thief of pop culture wisdom.
  4. The British Office. Nothing better. But turn on the subtitles.
  5. not so sure anymore. Creighton won't miss.
  6. They can make a couple good runs. Plenty of time left.
  7. It's that 1 win CSU's first four win? Are we counting that?
  8. Oh stop. Reno was a tourney team by the numbers and the eye test. Shit happens and it did.
  9. These dumbdicks have a CBI banner hanging in their weird basketball gym with the seats turned sideways. Winning the NIT would be greatest achievement in Reno sports history.
  10. My dad took me to a few Globetrotters games. Fond memories.
  11. Rice and Alford are gonna Rice and Alford.
  12. Down two starters nonetheless. Really good road win. Not a great game by most standards but we hit free throws when it mattered and played pretty good d for a couple decent stretches. If we had lu and Kalib this would have been a blow out. I really believe when healthy we were as good as anyone in the mw. We're better than csu, Boise and UNM anyway. We can win this thing if motivated enough and can get a little healthier.
  13. In America, our "happiness" seems to be mainly about how we feel about our status, if we're winning, getting ahead, etc. That's why we're not happy. It's the elevation of the individual over others and it's never enough. The scandis generally have what they need and find self promotion to be really gross. Comparison is the thief of joy.
