After my first hip operation I decided to read War and Peace. Think I didn't finish it until I was done with the second hip operation 4 years later. Didn't really take me that long but it was a process. Fell asleep many times trying to get through it.

Was it the book or the pain meds that put you to sleep?

I checked his account, and it all looks like unbiased objective statements to me.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

Its a great book and read it back in the day for a Russian literature course, but it is just so overly long.  For those who love literature it should be on ones bucket list though. Personally lately I have been more obsessed with gaming, but am trying to still to commit to about 20 pages a day when it comes to reading literature ( non manga since I read tons of that). Been focused more on Irish literature lately though since I have June trip to Dublin and want to get through all of the James Joyce books.

I don't think he will live to see that day, but he will probably live to see the b12 collapse when any team gets an invite to SEC, B1G, or Acc. I just don't see the power brokers want to see another historical conference collapse. I think it is more likely the better teams merge under the ACC brand because it pays more the b12 brand. The Big 12 doesn't have any tradition or history. It was formed by the leftovers from the SWAC and Big 8. All the programs that have value and institutional worth left their rivals that they feel are beneath them to fend for themselves . Arkansas, Tamu, Mizzou, Texas, and Okalahoma were smart to get ahead of the third attempt to rebrand the big8/12/swac.

I read that it takes 8 votes to dissolve the ACC. I’ve seen Swaim speculate to: FSU, Clemson, UVA, UNC, NC ST, Miami, ND, Pitt, Syracuse, and UL all wanting out of the ACC. Based on his reporting they have the numbers to disband, so they should do that and avoid all this legal mumbo-jumbo regarding the grant of rights.

Unless they don’t actually have the votes and Swaim is making it up as he goes.

If they had the numbers why would fsu and Clemson be crying to the media for months? The lawyers and leaders of the universities would have had a vote and go trying to find a new home. If the acc had the numbers why did they sign the new cfb contract with one million  more per year going to acc teams over b12 teams?

I have no inside info on this, but I highly doubt UL, Pitt and Syracuse would vote out, I don’t think they would have a home (I don’t even think NCST has a home, nobody even talk ls about them; other than trying to follow UNC). In addition, since ND is part time, do they count as a full vote? Like I said, I don’t know, just my worthless 2 cents, haha.
