Bryan Medema

I mean, in fairness, that's how I heard the gospel of RMK (the power of thinking negatively)

Just finished Chernow's "Alexander Hamilton" (long but incredible) and about to start Nate Silver's signal in the noise. Anyone have any good biographies to recommend?

Now you've got me thinking of the Simpsons episode where Magic Johnson "pulls a homer" and does that[attachment=3357:ImageUploadedByBtownBanners1454646330.356947.jpg]

Still there, just waiting to become a "Mr."

Thanks Alaska- I'll be damned if the Army hasn't accidentally made me a Powerpoint Wizard, but I think OG is a little out of my league.

I'd be interested in seeing win shares between them all.

Any good details?

Quick Question: Is Tom Crean more of a Hercules or a Samson?

Figured we had some good threads for the debates, might as well start one for this. I imagine I have the moderators support in saying keep it polite please.

  Good assessment. I thought the GOP was exciting primarily because a) The Cruz dip didn't happen (and actually went the other way) and b) Rubio's performance exceeded even the most optimistic expectations. Definitely makes for an interesting continuation. I see Cruz as poised to pick off the Carson/Huckabee supporters with Rubio taking Bush/Christie/Kasich. Obviously it's not a 1:1 type thing, but I don't see anyone really jumping up insurmountably (especially given proportional delegate allocation until 15MAR). I maintain my prediction that its going to be a brokered convention and Rubio will be nominated.   As for the left, I agree that Sanders had to carry (not just tie) both Iowa and New Hampshire to be able to give a real challenge. He'll win NH (though I think it'll be slightly closer than current expectations) but Nevada and South Carolina are hostile turf. Super Tuesday will be the day of reckoning and, at that point, I expect the party to coalesce (especially if the GOP seems to be doing the same).    Either way, thanks for the Poli-Sci degree IU: I finally get to use it.

This thread has been a dud. My bad BTB people. 

I mean, it's Alaska, someone has to bring the sun in winter.

I was under pressure! I've been saying it for weeks but never bothered to write it down!

Has there been anything official (or vaguely official) regarding the relationship or is it just friendly?

Not happy with the how, but it's a win, so... [attachment=3319:ImageUploadedByBtownBanners1454189554.106263.jpg]

Listening to the call on the radio- the Wisconsin call. Their announcers sound pathetic. They literally laughed at multiple bad calls against IU and whined about bad fouls by their team. Awful.

I'm running ~1-2minutes behind on my stream so if you could all just delay saying things by that interval, that'd be greaaaaaaaat.

Stuck at work. Trying to load stream. Why does watchespn have to be so terrible?
