Got T'd up in a pharmacy school intramural guys basketball game I wasn't playing in because the hired ref was so bad. I stood up and did the double dribble sign at him after his 5th missed call. I was T'd up and almost kicked out. This was after I had finished reffing the girls game with no issues.

This is beyond relatable

I rolled a bowling bowl across a parking lot and into the woods. I drove home in my bowling shoes. I haven't picked a ball up since. Almost 24 years.

This is a reason why people from Omaha brag about Warren Buffett.
Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.

At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:

Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600

Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

I was a seven-year-old who loved WCW and the Diamond Cutter was the coolest move.

Don't care. Should've been us. Trinidad doesn't throw that pick.

*whispers* Congrats IU. I guess.

Already seeing some wild hyperbole about the Mendoza TD being on the same level as the Vince Young TD run. This app is a sports app and 100% has the juice.

The Rib Cage, Oxford, MS. I was so sad when I went back to Oxford the first time and saw it was gone.

Other places have done BBQ Nachos, but nobody has done them as well.

Creighton basketball remains the best team I'm still not convinced knows any of the basics of the game and how to be successful long-term.

Malachi Toney was 11 when Carson Beck started college, but sure, a guy who was at a Division II school and played zero games the year in question is the problem with college eligibility.
NEWS: The NCAA has denied Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss a sixth year of eligibility.

Deleted my bitter posts. This was such a good season. It really stings to end the way it did, to be so close. But I'm so proud of this team being actively sabotaged by their former coach being a fingertip away from the national championship. Let's keep this thing rolling. Hotty damn toddy.

Was kicked out of a pharmacy-only intramural guys bball game after refereeing the girls b/c the guys ref was so bad. As I was stewing, he missed a blatant double dribble, so I stood up and did the call at him. He t'd up my class's team & booted me. I left telling our class secretary to not pay him.
Have you ever been ejected from a sporting event? Player, Fan, whatever? I would love to hear your stories.
Ive been tossed from games a bunch of times. Got ejected as a player and a fan multiple times. Also, I was never wrong, THEY were wrong, fuckin assholes.
