    Week 20 AP Poll: We're #1

    It looks like nobody has posted this yet, several hours after the poll was released. UConn has been voted #1 in the AP Poll for the final week of the season, prior to the NCAA Tournament, receiving 61 of 62 first-place votes. Houston got 1 vote, and is ranked #2, followed by Purdue. Here's...

    Is ANY telephone manufacturer, retail channel, or mobile carrier CUSTOMER SERVICE not awful?

    After 10+ months of trouble-free performance, my Google Pixel 5a phone one day powered down and never again functioned. I quickly located some message board discussion that the telephone's failure was an identified and known (though not overwhelmingly widespread) issue. And I was also given...

    Week 13 - Other Games

    Never imagined I'd be the one starting this thread, but I noticed that VTech beat Dook, with Filipowski scoring 29. And Northwestern beat Wisconsin Both were played while I watched UConn WBB drub DePaul. Next up, I'll watch tonight's biggest matchup. Baylor has jumped on Kansas early 23-12...

    6 Assists = Excruciating Loss

    A reversion to before Danny got over the hump. Very disappointing. Bad shot selection, starting second half yesterday.

    OT: Phil Schaap, Jazz Historian & Radio Announcer, Dead at 70

    A man who writer Stanley Crouch called "loquaciously edifying," Phil Schaap succumbed to cancer last night. I do not imagine that any more than a few here (if any) will have been familiar with Schaap's nearly half century run as a WKCR broadcaster (begun when he was a Columbia University...

    My Car Got Stolen

    After a no big deal experience of Henri, I woke up at 4:40am, and noted that my car was not on the street outside my window. One of 12 Priuses reported gone from New Haven homes in the past day, as of my 5:50am call. I've already completed the CT Stolen Vehicle report at the Police Dept...

    Frank Zappa Music All Day Today (12/21)

    (Hey, where'd my OT label go?) Today marks the 80th anniversary date of Zappa's birth and 73rd of my parents' wedding. (Shout out to Michael Apted's "Up" movie series that they married on FZ's 7th birthday) "There are no coincidences," eh? Listener-supported, community radio station WPKN...

    CESSPOOL in Main Forums menu

    I posted as a new topic in Cesspool that the Main Forum link redirects to Whitehouse.gov and Mt. Rushmore. Maybe it s on purpose. In case not. Here are some screenshots, which I still have to do in Chrome, because they still do not work in Firefox (both mobile).

    Functionality changes?

    In the past week or so, I've noted two changes that affect how I have posted. The first is minor: the option to Delete a posted Comment is no longer available. There are times when I post something, and then I see the Reply at the end of a thread as though I'd never hit Post. Afterward, I learn...

    Pat Grande, RIP

    I do not know if Pat Grande ever visited The Boneyard, but the attached article says that she attended 10 Women's Final Fours, so perhaps some here knew her. I came to this news by way of knowing her brother. I am active on the Men's Basketball Board, but have never posted here. If there are...

    https://www.jambase.com/article/neil-young-crazy-horse-tour-2020-barn Neil Young considers the newer, corporate-moneyed arenas soulless, and too expensive & cumbersome for mounting a tour within the timeframe & relaxed vibe he prefers. He instead wants to play "barns" (older, not-yet-razed...

    OT: How long before you switch to new cell phone? And why?

    My last few phones have had major failures, requiring replacement. This one is different. It's a 14 month old Moto G5+, which has stopped sending Voice Mail notifications and won't get me to the necessary screen to clear cache ever since the upgrade from Android 7.1.1 to 8.1. Not major, but...

    OT - Where to meet Stepmom for lunch?

    I'm in Westville, New Haven, and she's in West Hartford near Bloomfield border off Mountain Road. Is GoldBurgers in Newington worth my 48 minutes to her 22? Is it comfortable enough for a "we don't see each other enough" catch up with someone who just turned 75? Where else? We've done Maggie...
