How were Pet Rocks ever a “thing”?

How is it possible people were so obsessed with this? Who had one and what did you do with it?

On the right is your all-time record holder for a single game scoring in a high school basketball game…135 points…never played college

I’ve always been fascinated with high school records in any sport and how many of those record holders never go on to play in college. Random track and field records, RBs running for 9 TDs in a game in Podunkville, and hoops records like this one.

Danny Heater was truly on a heater that night back in 1960. 135 points. No college ball for him.

Here is the list of high school scoring record holders by state as well as overall. Quite a lot of future college and NBAers on there. But Danny Heater tops them all. Also a reminder that life isn’t forever.

Wishing myself no engine fires today…

I’m gonna be on IAH-MUC today. Two co-workers were on the one yesterday that caught fire. Wish me luck.

Now I see why our company limits the number of people from our work group that can be on the same flight.

PSA <0.006 at 30 months post surgery

Opened the dreaded PSA results this morning. Been five months since my last test. Had an another <0.006 reading from Labcorp! Surgery seems like a long time ago, but the test is still unnerving.

Numbers: PSA 37 pre-op (first test ever). Surgery 11/30/2023 age 53. Gleason 4+3 on final pathology. Small amount of cribiform. 30% of the gland involved. Basically one big 2.4cm tumor. Stage pT2c (organ confined).

Winning so far!

Portal this year

To you coaches and reporters how there, how is the portal looking this year compared to prior years? What are the numbers like.

Seems like I see a lot of kids on Instagram saying they are in the portal. Also, I know that huge percentages of teams are trying to leave (or told to leave by the new coach) after their coaches either got whacked or changed jobs. (Or, in the case of Wichita State, the whole program….)
