Not going to argue with that. But, who knows what may have transpired in talks with the University. Bennett said the decision came about following a weekend vacation with his wife. He just signed an extension to his contract this past Spring and intended to fulfill his obligation at the time. It's possible he went back to work Monday and asked that the extension be removed. The University may have balked at the negotiations and allowed him to announce his resignation rather than firing him. Stranger things have happened.

It's been like that for a while. What some folks don't factor in is that some people are not predisposed to having numerous offspring. Especially if both partners are career minded and the careers at the time were not exactly family friendly. I found out I was better with a dog in my 60s and early 70s than I was with a child in my 20s.

A couple of key quotes from Bennett's press conference.

I was today years old when I learned John Prine did not write this...

Very telling about the state of the sport....UVa Basketball Coach Tony Bennett stepping down. It was an emotional press conference Just wondering how many other "old school" coaches are considering the same

Working out this morning and caught the most ridiculous trade proposal. The Lions should offer Cleveland several (I didn't catch how many) first and second round picks for Myles Garrett AND Deshaun Watson. This was a guy who supposedly was a GM at one time for Miami and another team I didn't catch. Why would any sane football GM make that deal?

Memories, like the corners of my mine Misty watercolor memories...

In interest of fairness and equal time....

From what I've read so far Trump channeled the dirty version of Rodney Dangerfield at last night's Al Smith Dinner. Probably rehashed his campaign schtick similar to the one he did in 2016. Meanwhile Harris gave us this intro

Nah, Nashville Cats...

I had not realized Rihanna Gibbons had taken over Artistic Directorship of Silk Road Ensemble.

Not sure but I think it's the Coke Zero that keeps Trump in Depends

I was 12 about the time of my first serious crush.

I hear him talking like this and the Association's Cherish comes to mind. Tariff is the word I use to describe you.

I think I've seen this show before. Wasn't a move to Tampa in the cards in order to replace Old Comiskey. It's a ploy to get funding for the Southside stadium, whether by Jerry or someone else.

After Vance and company pull the 25th amendment and remove DJT, they'll install Jr as the VP. Keeping the grift in the family

Have any of Trump's kids Don an honest days work in their lives? Has Donald ever held a job that wasn't given to him by his father?

I would not argue with that. Jr makes it seem like a good thing

His answers are getting weirder and less coherent. Not even close to a weave, not even a knit or ever a darn

I just tried our sub, took a bit of maneuvering (look at recent sales) but it seems to be working.

I would lean toward #2, especially with the amount of consolidation in recent years both in print and broadcast. Print also relied on things like classified ads help sustain the bottom line (or so I was once told). Local papers and broadcast also relied on the small businesses in the community. A lot of them have gone the way of locally owned radio stations and newspapers. Now except in a few cases here and there opinions are ruled by corporate overlords. The counter point to the above (even back in the day of the Fairness Doctrine for broadcasters) opinion was usually controlled by the beliefs of the business owners who did or did not buy advertising based on what was printed or aired.

I've walked around the outside of the Charlotte park, nice facility as is the Bulls park. Our timing has always been to happen to be in town either off season or when the teams are on the road. Someday, hopefully.
