    K-State game in 2025 in Ireland (CONFIRMED)

    Season Tickets plus donations are not based on number of games, so only gain is number of additional non- season tickets sold, vs, Arkansas State.....not much!!!

    Ever score on an insurance company?

    On the opposite side, once in my professional career, busted a scam ring. It involved slip and fall claims. One person would go and spill liquids, another would follow and slip and fall. I was responsible for the insurance on the property, never heard any of this, except my premium jumped 100%...

    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    Or maybe a time problem, people don't advance at the same rates. Some may take months, others years. If a kid wants to play, and he's not good enough CURRENTLY to help his team win games, then the player needs to find a different team, so he can play more minutes. This team wants to win NOW and...

    Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    Certainly, you make good points, but I have to take offense to "wrapping children in bubble wrap".

    Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    Yeah, but to propose, design and build a bridge this massive across a harbor entrance that serves massive ships, and not at least predict the outcome of a MASSIVE cargo ship crashing into one of its support piers could be considered negligent, because, as you say, **** happens. The very, very...
