I REALLY LIKE THIS WINNING!!!

A big role for RPI but I think the AA mucks around with things by arranging regionals. Don't they do the same in basketball? It's basically a 64 team tournament. Making super regional championship game is Sweet 16, Omaha is Elite Eight. A big difference is earning the right to host on campus before Omaha.

Yeah basically. But now basketball has the NET ranking and all sorts of different ways to make stuff up

But if they'd like to make up us getting a regional I wouldn't be mad.

If we win the SC series next weekend, we might host. (I think that's right.) Let's win out and see!

So when I went to UT, as an elective, I took a history course titled The Age of Chivalry. The course description led me to believe that it was about the age of the Knights, Long bowmen, etc. Sounded fascinating. At the bottom of the description, it said can only drop class with the professor’s permission.

I get to the class and the professor states that the class will be entirely based on the writings of Chaucer. I immediately raised my hand and asked if I was in the wrong class. I had signed up for a history class and she was telling us that it was a literature class instead. She smiled and said you are in the correct class. Speak to me after class.
After class, she confirmed that it was only going to be about Chaucer. I asked her to let me drop it. She said no. I stated that the course description was very misleading and that I had to study Chaucer in High School. I really didn’t want to go into Chaucer again. She took it personally and and wouldn’t sign the drop slip. I then asked her to direct me to the department Chair Person because I really didn’t want to take the class. (It was an upper level History class required for History majors.)
Her response: You have already spoken to the department Chair and she totally agrees with me.
I was stuck. Being the hardheaded person that I am. Every paper that I wrote was about actually about the History of the Age of Chivalry. Nothing about Chaucer’s writings. I received a “C” on every paper with a comment about not appropriate content. At the end of the quarter, my grade was a C. She said that it was the highest grade that she had ever “given” a non history major…last history course that I took. Sucked, because I had considered getting a minor in History. I find much of it very fascinating. (Especially since I have lived through most of it)

The final paper was about a monumental change in the world of the time. My paper was on the stirrup and how without it’s invention, the warfare of the time would have no Knights or cavalry charges…

I hat Chaucer

You are a better man than me. I would have gone over her head and told them they could either drop me or refund my tuition or I could contact my State Representative and Senator and complain to them. That is like a class description being all about biology and you show to a calculus class about calculating the DNA of Chaucer.

Do you twist the door knob to the right or left when opening a door?

My door knobs swing up and down. I like to mix it up depending on where we fall currently in the lunar cycle.

Alabama education. Smh.

I'm sure you know about unit 731. I'm not even going to link to it.

Underrated post.

Also Zen at War is an important book.

Imo they saw in the Axis like-minded powers that were stratocracies at minimum, military dictatorships at worst. The sort of good folks they'd like to deal with


Credit to them and ze Germans though. Total turnarounds since. Once countries focus on cooperative trade and economy, rather than tribalistic battles over resources, it's like things get better magically.

Also, at the time they came to the decision to join Germany, Germany was carving Russia up and driving towards Moscow. It looked like there would be nothing to stop them. If Japan had entered the war by attacking Russia instead of the US, most of Europe might still be under Nazi control.

Back to back including the reigning champs.

What a sexy bunt

This is a family site!


Oh... your were talking about the baseball game. I just thought you couldn't spell.

 

[tnhunter 10]

How?

 

[Glitch]

When you only lose two games….. it’s more likely to go down than up….We could have very easily lost a couple games more this past season that went in our favor….. I don’t see us having much of a drop off if any this year though.

You could say the same thing in reverse for the 2021 season. There were several games we were only a play or two from winning. Pitt and Ole Miss come immediately to mind.

Japan had no interest in Russia. They had no real interest in the U.S. Pearl Harbor was more about trying to discourage us from entering the war, but they misjudged our response. Japan wanted Asia and the Pacific. The Axis powers weren't really as allied as the Allies were. Specifically, Germany and Japan each had their own goals that they worked toward separately. They didn't really work together. A joint attack on Russia would have been an anomaly.

In case anyone is interested, parking for priority 1 will wrap up on the 16th and priority 2 should start the 19th or 22nd and then after about 10-14 days, priority 3 will start. Just in case you wanted to know.

I actually was curious, so thank you. Am priority 2, and was worried I'd missed something.

Do you twist the door knob to the right or left when opening a door?

Some doors swing out..some swing in. Some door knobs swing up or down and some twist left or right. Life is complicated and I wonder how I ever make it outside my home.

They did not believe we had the resolve to fight a two front war. They severely underestimated that, for sure.
