SIAP, but I don't see a thread on it.
The ladies were down 7-5 in the Top of the 7th at Texas Tech. They were down to their last strike with two outs.
Then our ladies proceed to crank out 7 runs.

Now Bottom of the 7th. Texas Tech has a runner on 1st. No outs.

Time to put the foot down!

Today I heard a disturbing story about an ABC news reporter who went missing in April .Nobody knows where he is and what is apparently known back in April the FBI was seen on his block on the day of his last tweet. Not even ABC news knows or they won't comment. He was a journalist investigating government corruption.

Now my friends on the left probably won't listen to the story because it comes from a guy on the right. I don't care who you vote for ,if you're an American left ,right ,center ,we should agree on the Bill of Rights ,on civil liberties and the freedom to think and speak your conscience and for a truly free press. I heard this today and I encourage you to seriously give this a listen. Put your partisan hat down and put your American hat on. The guy was doing a story on some government corruption and just vanished. IF my government has something to do with it, well it's wrong , it's very wrong. We don't silence the press or make reporters just go away.


I am not wanting to debate this , I am putting this information out there for you to decide on your own and for you to do your own. Homework. If you are somewhat intellectually honest and curious you will want to hear this. As for me it's troubling.

Read in Lakeland Ledger this morning that 41 million people traveled through MCO this past years up 10 percent from the year before. MCO originally built to withstand only 24 million annually. This is only more justification for its current spat of expansion there.

I bring it up because it was a talking point in the Big 12 discussions only proving that Orlando area is growing insanely fast and that our expanding market should only make us more attractive.

Just thought I would share.

Doesn't appear to be any coverage, though UCF linked the JU video page:


Live stats:


JU is 11-12, but did manage to beat UF:

Apologies, long winded. But the idea: Get a new car or not.

Title says it all. Don't worry about what kind of car (then again, all ears for a solid 3rd row SUV for $35k or so)

Married, two kids (5 and 2.5). Live in DC so we get all four seasons, snow, ice, rain, sun, you know the drill.

We have two cars.

• My car: 2009 Honda Accord. Paid off. 120k miles. I drive about 50 miles a week on this. Pretty much strictly to work and back. Rarely for anything on weekends.
• Wife car: 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. $5,500 left on loan (18 months). 50 miles a week as well but also used for road trips all around town and Pitt, FL, etc with the kids.
  • Current loan is 3.89%
  • Loans for used cars today seem to be 6-7%. Not ideal.

Kids are getting older, larger, and will need more stuff. Also when family comes to visit with car seats and junk, we have to take two cars. Or I take an Uber and meet them where we go, regardless, not ideal but not anything causing major strife.

Trade in for my Honda is anywhere from $4-5k right now. Probably $4k.
Trade in for the Santa Fe is about $15k or so.

That means we have $5k more baked into the Santa Fe (as of today) if we wanted a new car compared to my paid off Honda and use the Santa Fe as the trade in.

The Santa Fe is a much nicer car than my Honda. My Honda will eventually break. But who knows when? 10 years? 20? It has 120k miles. Santa Fe has 50k miles. We use this for the road trips.

Really- main reason for this: we want the third row.

I can trade in the Santa Fe today and get a 2021/2022 Palisade or something similar (don't worry about what we get) for about the same monthly payment (maybe $50 more a month).

OR

We trade in the Honda. Keep the Santa Fe (becomes my car) and get the Palisade (or something similar).

Now we have two newer cars.. but two payments (albeit, only one within 18 months or so).

What would Dungeonites do here?

The idea to have two “newer” cars, and both being an SUV is appealing. But I really like my paid off Honda.

Kevin Norris has been with Dawkins during his entire tenure in Orlando. He was the close connection to Mikel Brown Jr.

Norris' name had also been floated for the FAMU HC job.

Was anyone in attendance at the Venue tonight to see the VBall team take on the Gators?
Very interested in hearing how the team looks and how they did.
