HoosierPal Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 8 hours ago, bauman said: Roy, I agree with your point about AD starting. It depends on how TF want to play, but I see AD as starting ahead of one of the three projected starters not named Foreman or Goodwin My two cents says that Coach starts his best team, which may not be the MBM consensus top five ballers. I think initially we will see a large number of combinations. We have maybe half a dozen players who could average 10+ ppg. It won't happen, but the depth is there. Coach has said this is a very physical team. Unfortunately the Zebras may translate that as a foul prone team. Hence, a large amount of subs will be used. Also, if you don't defend, you will be sitting next to Coach Tate. You may have the best shooting % on the team, but if you don't defend, we have someone on the bench who will both defend and score.

GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a little disappointed, because I thought being left out -- and if that would represent the national consensus (which is a stretch) -- might motivate the team just a little bit more. No, they shouldn't need that for motivation, but I'm sure it comes into play. That us-against-the-world sentiment has occasionally propelled teams or competitors much further than anyone thought they could go. Even so, #58 isn't exactly glowing praise. That's NIT; it takes top 36 for an A-10 team to feel good about an at-large bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a waste of time. It's still damned necessary. Glad it was helpful for him. Personally I can't recall a single time in the past 10 years I've used cursive.

Personally I can't recall a single time in the past 10 years I've used cursive. I use cursive exclusively for signing my name and for writing the numbers of the amount of checks (not the payee), and its even less legible than my hand printing, which tends to be small and challenging for others to read. A year ago I tried practicing signing my artistic name -- for my website -- and it was nearly excruciating. I had to refer to a library book! But I'm pushing 50, so at least I learned it in elementary school; I imagine today's youth get a cursory lesson on it and then move on.

You not only have the randomness of the team's rank but the randomness of the prognosticator. Now what would be even more amazing is to predict the Bills ranking at the end of the season.

Well, given his Top 144 prediction, clearly he should put them in the Final Four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. They taught us D'Nealian as a gateway drug to cursive, but when I write things out like that now I found I've invented my own variety of connecty printing so I don't have to lift the pen. I've never used the little D'Nealian monkeytail things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 OT. To Billiken Rich and all the other younger uns who live out there and have abandoned paper and writing in favor of the electronic way of doing things. If there is something we have known for some time regarding computer security is that however secure it may be it is never unassailable. Look at the recent Equifax breach, look at the number fraudulent tax returns filed each year by hackers. One way to diminish the risk, at least as far as your own records and payments are concerned, is simply by using paper bills and sending them by mail, with paper checks enclosed when you have to pay. It is slow, it is old fashioned, but it is safer. I agree we all have to live with Equifax and Trans Union, and the big banks, we are screwed in that respect and have to trust their security works... Sometimes it does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny story This past week I was forced to give a 10 minute presentation at a meeting with about 80 attendees with 20 minutes notice. I had no note cards available and no projector in the room for a laptop. I did have a whiteboard in the room so I wrote an outline of my speech on it in cursive to guide me through the presentation. A few of the younger attendees must have complained about it. An email was sent out the next day requesting cursive writing not be used in any presentations because not everyone is able to decipher it. In response I've started leaving fight club style haikus printed all over the workplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
