there are only a handful of diner-style “tastee freez” restaurants left in the country and one of them is down the road in madison, va.

Duluth, MN, admittedly I haven't gone there in deep winter.

Chattanooga was working on itself for all the years that I visited for Trashmasters, but get outside the university and the downtown district and it was not a welcoming place.

This came out around Christmas 2020, I did a whole MST3K-style group watch via Zoom when they rolled it out.

Sakerlina!

How much of this is because of engineering school and how much of that is trying to temper engineering school is an exercise for the reader: 60% German, 29% Autistic I took the German or Autistic diagnostic and I'm apparently just German. Kant would approve. german.millermanschool.com

Run back the "Country Roads" is a song about West Virginia, the Western Part of Virginia, or Western Maryland discourse, they mentioned the song during the Tigers broadcast.

This is assuredly the result of media deals gone sideways, but it is fun to get to see the Tiger game with just my antenna in Lansing, like so many O's openers on Channel 20 in Washington.

I'm happy to announce that we will be running a fundraising quiz bowl tournament to assist with @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social's Charity Bowl efforts to support New American Pathways. More details at iqbtnasat.com/open-online-...

This year's Crosstown Showdown is machine-pitch, Sparty had runners at the corners with 5 outs in the top of the 1st but couldn't get anyone in.

Obligatory Goochland, Va mention by the Tigers radio team as part of Verlander's 1st regular season start.

Wondering how much of this is to sell tickets and how much is to keep the pitching staffs fresh: www.milb.com/lansing/news...

Biggby will sell these all around Michigan, downtown, suburb, exurb, smaller town.

Huskies!

Great run for the Hoos women's hoop team comes to an end tonight, but not without a strong 4th quarter against TCU.

We're still making things in America, manufacturing unearned runs in the Heartland (or okay, Wrigley).

Not sure how "Return of the Mack" has made its way into playlists or radio for coffee shops recently, but I'm not complaining.

Well ok, Johnnies up 1 at the break.

Finally the weekend:

Go.the next level and they can have Silence Dogood, mystery closer.

Obligatory "Metro was great to have around even if we were a little too far outside the Beltway to use it to full potential" quote post:

Morning Edition jumping around from Tom Izzo to Bill Maher to Robyn this morning, all are in the news, but it feels like a classic TRASH/trash packet.

1. O's 2. Detroit Beisbolcats 3. UVa 4. Nats 5. The hum of spring and summer

I'm okay with the principle of reintroducing cursive even if I don't use it and I didn't like it as a youth (I'm quicker if I print out words when I take notes by hand or write a grocery list), but this is a good logistics point. Which, ok, easier to make this kind of appeal to my line of thinking.

Michiganders! It's back! www.michigan.gov/sos/election... (we're not topping the werewolf, but...)

Personal Amphitheatre, reserve a time slot and then put on your own one-person show. Or do Spalding Gray's "Monster in a Box".

The women’s NCAA Tournament had started so chalky … until Virginia came along. Three wins in a week (!) as UVA goes First Four to Sweet 16 after an upset of No. 2 seed Iowa on the Hawkeyes’ home court. Wowow.

One go: Houston to Grand Rapids, then sister-in-law's wedding. Multi-day, solo trip: Dallas-DC area

Welp, good start to the Coach Odom era, just needed to make a few more plays in the last 2 minutes.

Even the UVa radio crew saw the ball glance off Hall's hands, very slightly, but refs had it right originally

Is Texas back?

Illinois/VCU tied even if it looks like BERT has switched over to coaching the basketball team.

Perry Johnson's television ads are already weird, now he's got a radio spot that sounds like it was originally written for a second-tier animatronic woodland creature revue.

Oh hey, Hoos win over Georgia and will have another game on Monday at Iowa's gym.

This feels like U of M is going to just keep asserting themselves after the break, not sure if the Billikens have a third gear or a tactical change to keep up.

I live here so I want good things for U of M and Sparty today, but Saint Louis kind of fascinates me as a program. Had a few runs of success, play against U of R and VCU in the A-10, are the games a fun atmosphere? Do locals show up for the program like the Battlehawks or the new soccer team?

Sometimes you just gotta post a joke that's for you and like twelve other people

And exhale. Neither the Vols nor the Redhawks are gonna be a pushover, but the Hoos got the R1 win to stop a narrative or two.

Great day for the Jacarmi

NCAA national broadcast had an ad for something called "Rumble Shorts", and that sounds like a bunch of in-car soliloquies of nonsense.

Haymakers being thrown in Philly (ok, not those kind of haymakers..yet)

I can say that I've hit a game-tying power tossup and a game-winning tossup in the dying seconds of an NAQT ICT, but it doesn't hit like a basketball buzzer beater. Whale of a shot by the guy from Kentucky.

fans of the end of the UNC game where the awesome Estonian center couldn't make a free throw will love the end of the Texas game where the awesome Lithuanian center can't make a free throw

"Carolina blew a 19-point lead" now joining the meme library.

Overtime in Greenville

VCU has somehow worked their way back into this.

Matt Christopher book-style ending.

That's gonna be a nope from me, even if they have good nachos. I am wondering if the happy hour specials fluctuate with the futures markets.
