A month to go

There is much written on here about NCAA seeding, Big 12 Championships and comparing this years team to teams of the past.

My lifetime of watching the Cyclone basketball has taught me to enjoy the ride and not get caught up in expectations of grandeur.

There is 40% of the Big12 season left and 5 teams within 1.5 games of first.
It’s going to be a wild ride up until the last weekend.

A 3 seed in Omaha would be fanf@ckingtabulous!

Need to share one of my reasons for a very early retirement from my company...

I present a snapshot of my former company's latest 360 leadership evaluation. It's a utility that delivers gas and electric service. Anyone have any observations????? My company is extremely proud of these results by the way....

Preseason SP+ College Football ratings

One of many analytical looks at next season’s football season weighted on returning talent. Link below (If you have ESPN+) but points to an intriguing Big12 season. 5 Big12 teams are ranked from 17-22, with ISU 22. It has Utah 17; KSU 18; AZ 19; and OSU 20. UI is 26.

Biden is not mentality fit to stand trial, per the special counsel.

Could not believe that Biden actually had a press conference to discuss the findings of the special counsel about top secret documents in a bucket next to his corvette. Basically the special counsel said he was an old man without the mental capacity to be put on trial. And then Biden has a press conference to actually put on display that he has severe dementia, by showing the typical anger that dementia patients have. Having gone through this with my own mother, I know from discussions with nursing home staff, that dementia patients can go either of 2 ways, they can become docile quiet happy people where nothing really bothers them, or the majority of them go the other way and become very angry nasty people (they become frustrated with everything), and Biden put that on clear display last night that he has dementia anger. To be blunt, everyone that is around him, including Obama, should be charged with elder abuse.

Has anybody served on a federal grand jury?

16 months ago I was served notice that my name came up for federal grand jury selection. I ended up being first alternate.

Federal grand jury duty is an 18-month stint, the grand jury meeting one or two days every month. As first alternate I was required to go through the entire training and orientation session, but after that I was free to go unless I got called up to replace one of the original jurors. I heard nothing until a couple of weeks ago, when I got the call. I will have three remaining months of duty to serve.

When I first got served the selection notice I dreaded the idea of having to make an 18-month commitment, which one does not get off the hook without a very compelling reason. During the selection process several tried, but the judge played it pretty strict.

Anyway, I found the orientation session fascinating, and being somewhat of a casual student of our judicial process (thanks to a marketing professor, of all people, when working on my masters) I wanted to get selected.

But instead, I ended up first alternate (of four) which meant that I was required to go through full training, which too was fascinating and left me hoping that I would get called up during my 18-month standby, which happened a couple of weeks ago.

I got the best of all worlds in a way. I do get the experience of serving, but I only have to do it for three months instead of eighteen.

Has anyone else here served on a federal grand jury?


Side note....

Fifteen years ago the only legal experience I ever had was seeing a lawyer about creating a will or a corporation. In the last fifteen years, I have been involved with four lawsuits, two court trials (on federal, one state), two appeals, and now this. I might as well have gone to law school.

Found on Youtube

The semi complete play by play of the great 1992 Seiler game. Not the best camera angles, but great to hear Pete's voice, and to relieve this memory. The footage skips around a bit, and that sort of glosses over the incredible defensive effort that day, holding that high powered Nebraska offense to 10 points total.

There was Ok St in 2011, OU in 2017. This remains the most jaw dropping upset in our program history. Still can't believe it happened.
