People don’t seem to understand that everyone is throwing money at the problem. UM’s QB situation should be the perfect example. If you don’t have some kind of stability and program identity, you are just lighting money on fire.
I don’t think so. He came down and ran off, but some golfers saw him about an hour later further out on the course by himself.
Cut some cups and played a few holes with little man while the course was closed for a member party. Had to dodge a couple thunderstorms, but a great evening nonetheless!
Notice where his eyes were during this play. It was a 50/50 ball where two players came together both focused on the ball, and not in trying to tackle the opponent. Incidental contact is a thing, unless you just want to focus on one still shot and ignore all context involved.
Nope, dog sitting my father in law’s dog. She was not too sure about Conrad, until she figured out he was a great nap partner.
This is the most “Facebook marketplace” listing I have ever seen. Saying “It has an electrical problem, but everything is fine.” when talking about an 18 year old Bentley is just absolute perfection!

The 2026 World Cup had a major challenge with grass: FIFA retrofit 16 stadiums in Canada, Mexico and US to keep fields consistent for 48 teams and 104 matches.
It asked grass scientists at U of Tennessee and to design solution:
▫️they made a modular hybrid turf (95% grass / 5% synthetic fiber) that is easily rollable, transportable and installable
▫️each field has 20 million synenthic fibers sewn into dirt (grassroots intertwine with fibers to prevent field from tearing)
▫️all 11 stadiums in US host NFL teams…7 of those had to do special conversion of astroturf fields (Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, LA, NY, Seattle)
▫️5 stadiums have a dome (eg. BC Place in Vancouver) and scientists developed special UV grow light machines to help maintain grass in those structures
▫️grass in Southern US and two Mexico locations (Monterrey, Guadalajara) need grass species for warm and humid temperatures (“Bermuda grass”)
▫️Northern US/Canada and Mexico City need grass for cooler climates (“Kentucky bluegrass”)
▫️scientists built special machines to test player foot impact and ball bouncing effect (reduce injuries and make sure ball movement consistent)
▫️grass sods we’re grown on plastic so they spread horizontally, making it easier to roll and transport
