It wasn’t basketball, it was football. Schools from major conferences usually pay colleges from lower-ranked conferences. In this case the contract paid the JMU Dukes $10,000 per point scored, so the Dukes were incentivized to run up the score. UNC now owes JMU $700,000 after being blown out.
James Madison is about a half hour or so south of where I I live. It’s not UVA, but it’s not a bad college either.
The official @MyPillowUSA X (formerly Twitter) account tweeted an advertisement for its pillows with a price tag of $14.88. The number "1488" is a reference to the "14 words" slogan frequently used by neo-Nazis: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The "88" is a reference to the eighth letter of the alphabet twice, interpreted by neo-Nazis to mean "Heil Hitler."
Well, Political Junkie, it strikes me that the real story is funny enough. Like two weekends ago, when paid Northern Illinois over a million dollars to come to Douth Brnd, only to have the Huskies win.
"While the Teamsters have decided to withhold a call to vote for Kamala Harris in this election, the tax collectors for the welfare state have put out their enthusiastic endorsement."
Unfortunately, there are too many coincidences to be just dumb luck.....
"Prior to their respective assassination attempts targeting Trump, Ryan Routh and Thomas Crooks had extraordinary proximity to U.S. Intelligence, demonstrated foreknowledge of Trump’s schedule and security, and acquired skills that intelligence agencies have a history of sharing with assets."
Poor stupid gadfly can't seem to handle simple arithmetic. If "1488" = Nazi, then 14.88 is obviously one-hundredth of a Nazi, and gadfly himself has a higher percentage of Nazi in him than that.
I worked in a small town in PA a few years ago, and often had the cheap breakfast (two eggs, toast, and OJ, I think it was) at the local diner with Bible quotations prominently displayed on the wall. With tax, the price came out to $6.66. The waitress was mildly amused when I pointed out that the number wasn't very Christian, but not particularly embarrassed: it was just a number, and not even the same number. After all, if "666" is the Mark of the Beast with Seven Heads and Ten Horns, my $6.66 breakfast only represented seven-hundredths of a head and a tenth of a horn: ugly but not particularly terrifying.
Thomas Wictor once tried to calculate the number of actual Nazis and Klansmen in the U.S. Even adding up the various competing groups of each, he concluded that there were roughly 500 Nazis and 3,500 Klansmen in America. Of course, at least 10% of each, and probably more like 20% or 30%, are undercover agents of federal, state, and local law enforcement. People who pretend to worry about Nazis in America almost invariably support much larger, more dangerous, and less obvious groups that are at least as violent and unAmerican.
Was it Schopenhauer who said that 'Every noxious insect thinks he's Socrates'? So with self-described gadflies. Unlike Socrates, they're almost invariably annoying in an utterly useless way.

Not every day North Carolina basketball loses 70 - 50 to James Madison.
Things are so bad right now; K & T are joyfully running against Biden.

That was a joke, Big Mike.

wait another minute.. maybe you AREN'T implying that at all
World on fire!
No one jokes about Carolina basketball! Ever! They save the jokes up for Duke and NCSU.
Whole lotta red going on there.

As suspected, Mike Lindell is a Nazi.
