Look there’s many young women who have been…including a young woman who was just murdered and he— he went to the funeral. The idea that she was murdered by an illegal immigrant coming in and they they talk about that. But here’s the deal - there’s alot of women being raped by their- by their in-laws, by their spouses, by their brothers & sisters, by, by just- just- it’s just ridiculous and they cant do anything about it!

— actual quote by top Democrat Joe Biden

Discussion starts around 35:48. Most of them picked Florida, but it’s a very hesitant pick and it mostly seems because they know Napier is coaching for his job in that one.

Thought we needed a separate thread to discuss how everyone is saving for retirement so that maybe we can copy one another.

I’ll start. My company does a 5% 401k match. Also, we have a pension. Separately, I contribute the max to Roth IRA every year.

What are you all doing? How is your retirement account invested in? Your Roth?

I'm just going through the process now and thought there might be some project managers on the board with some tips

Given some of the crazyass talk in Red States, today the US Senate introduced a bill to protect the use of contraceptives. Should be a no-brainer vote, right?

Get this: It FAILED with 39 Republicans voting against it.

WTF??? It's yet another stunning example of the Catholic Church and other religious fundamentalists trying to turn our country into their own personal theocracy. Why else would politicians want to ban birth control for crying out loud??? Where's THAT in the Constitution??!? Maybe someone here can explain to the rest of us why their view of the government's role includes banning contraceptives. We're all ears.

Anyone with any details?

Why is FS1 soccer coverage so much better than XII football coverage? I know our ratings were terrible but I would think these Copa America ratings are pretty low too.

I’ll hang up and listen.

I'm assuming Rothstein has the full list and could tweet UCF out at some point, but according to this we've got Kansas and Iowa State at home (and away).

For any UCF racing fans out there...


He had only 3 wins in 460 NASCAR starts.

Saw this except on another board, but it's a recap of the radio interview below.

===

In a startling post-season revelation, ECU baseball coach Cliff Godwin pointed fingers at outgoing transfers for the Pirates' early postseason exit. Godwin, frustrated and disappointed, accused those players of lacking commitment to winning, claiming they had "one foot out the door" during the NCAA Tournament.

The Pirates, who were a national host for this year's Regional round, had high hopes, playing their initial games in the comfort of their own ballpark. But despite being the favorites, they were shockingly ousted by the lowest-seeded team in the bracket, Evansville.

The season ended on a sour note as Evansville’s victory led to a heated exchange between Godwin and the Evansville coaching staff during the postgame handshake. The defeat was a bitter pill to swallow, marring what had been a stellar season for the Pirates.

In an interview on Pirate Radio, Godwin expressed his dismay. “Why should we have won?” he questioned. “We threw two pitchers on Monday that both knew they were leaving, and I didn’t know they were leaving. I would’ve thrown position players. The guy that started and the guy that gave up the three-run homer went to the portal on Wednesday. They knew they were leaving… We would’ve pitched somebody different.”

His comments shed light on a growing issue in college baseball: the transfer portal. For programs like ECU, which face intense competition from wealthier P4 programs offering lucrative NIL deals, retaining top talent has become increasingly challenging. The transfer portal has created an environment where personal gain often outweighs team loyalty, according to Godwin.

Godwin’s candid remarks highlight a significant problem within the sport, but his method of addressing it has sparked controversy. As the debate over the transfer portal continues, one thing is clear: the landscape of college baseball is changing, and not everyone is happy about it.
