- Nerds Herds-The 70’s Party Mixes
The 70’s were a time. So I’m told. My father enjoyed his college extra-curriculars and putting together the party hotspots was one of them. Recently two of his old 8-Track mixes come up during house cleaning and I’ve reassembled the track playlists. Judging by the track release dates it was pre-Magic Johnson winning the 78-79… Read more: Nerds Herds-The 70’s Party Mixes - Super Stumped-When Stars Fall
What do the Bucks, Clippers, Lakers, Suns, and Warriors all have in common? Future Hall of Famers, historically expensive payrolls, and no chance to win a Championship. 2023 obviously hasn’t been kind to several coalitions of top league talent.

- Twice Charmed-UConn Rolls Back-To-Back
“Do you think Purdue can win?” my father asked me Sunday night. To which I bumbled around a response somewhere between “it’s certainly possible” and “but not realistically”.

It didn’t take much to talk me into checking out Breaking Benjamin’s 2023 tour stop in Michigan at Van Andel Arena.
