It always seemed strange to me growing up not knowing any White Sox fans. Heck, channel 55 out of Fort Wayne even carried them for a few years when LaRussa was there. Seems like everyone was a Reds, Cubs, or Tigers fan in my part of the world.
I grew up about 3 hours from St. Louis, 4 hours from Cincinnati and about 6 from Chicago. Both of my parents are native Chicagoans, specifically dad being a south side native and a Sox fan.
And who did I pick as my team? The Mets.
That’s right, rather than side with one group, I just decided to piss off everyone. I know that’s absolutely shocking, given the source.

Totally off topic here………but I wonder how many young pups on here even know who your profile pic is “suspected to be”?….🕵🏻♂️
That’s all part of the appeal

Other than the temperature mix up what did you think of it.
Well, other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln? 🤣

Update. At least it’s all mostly one color now. Had to make a little fit adjustment with the lid, which is why it didn’t get primered.

He must need someone to fetch tools and do the heavy lifting because from just the work I've done on my home unit having things properly installed isn't so simple.
Well, that was the source of the sarcasm. There’s nobody relatively skilled on the job market, so you take the scraps that you find.

That's true, but down here at least, there's always a choice between "qualified" people (licensed, bonded) or the cheap way out...
One of my neighbors took the cheap way out on painting the exterior of his house, and he pretty much got what he paid for (by his own admission)...
It’s a crapshoot. I had some concrete work done earlier this year. My wife found the guy on Facebook Marketplace. Turns out, he’s a union laborer that primarily pours concrete anyway, and just picks up side gigs when he has the time. Was a good 20% cheaper than any other quote we had, and did a competent enough job.

Skilled "trades" is where the job market really is today...jmo.
My neighbor has a small commercial HVAC business. He says with today’s candidates, he’s happy to find someone “semi-skilled”, meaning they have a double digit IQ, a pulse and know the difference between a Phillips and slotted screwdriver without asking Siri.

Like his size. How does he project in college?
Just judging visually from those pictures….kid has a frame that a D1 strength coach would salivate over. Good natural size for high school, but a D1 program could hang 15 lbs of muscle on him before his sophomore year.

If Trayce is 6’9”, then Logan is 6’10 1/2”…..edit…better yet, Durr is only 6’9 1/2” and not 7’
Or Logan’s hair is about 4-5” tall….which judging from the style….isn’t impossible.

Gotta like that even on the opponent’s site’s transcript of Allen’s presser, they capture the “LEO” at the end.

Big game against Trinity earlier this month. La Salle plays a ridiculous schedule.
Their non-conference schedule was more of a meat grinder than IU’s: IMG Academy, Louisville Trinity, Louisville DuPont Manuel, Indianapolis Cathedral and Trotwood-Madison.
Oh, their “local” schedule….just the other power Cincinnati programs: Colerain, Moeller, St. X and Elder.
A schedule like that should come with a black leather catsuit and a whip, because whoever scheduled it clearly enjoys torture.

I think @IU/Butler/Notre Dame/Stetson/Ball State has something to do with this 😉
Starting to look like my wife’s academic transcript. Both of her (current) degrees are through Northern Kentucky, but she’s taken classes and has credits from Eastern Kentucky and UK. I joke that she needs to get at least one class or certificate from WKU, just to complete the compass.

A lot of the "small" schools around me did away with "vocational" classes. My alma mater just got them back up and running a few years back.
If there is a bright side, due to the shortage, it’s going to be possible for the current generation of kids to earn a pretty decent living though a skilled trade….provided there’s enough training.

Love it. Let’s not forget, it’s not just motivation to the players. Woodson and Fife both wore the uniform but can’t lay claim to one of those 5 banners either. Woodson missed it by a year, and Fife missed it by one game. I’d say that’s motivation for them as well.

I'm starting to wonder if Luke just wanted to get away from his parents.
If that were my objective, my first call would be the head coach at the University of Hawaii.

Common core math?
If so, our infrastructure is going to suffer in the future.
“Kings built tombs more splendid than the houses of the living and counted the names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons. Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on heraldry or in high cold towers asking questions of the stars. And so the kingdom sank into ruin, the line of kings failed, the white tree withered and rule was given over to lesser men.”
JRR Tolkien
Starting to sound uncomfortably familiar, isn’t it?
