Bike ride this morning felt a lot colder than it should. Moustache froze which it usually only does at -22. Was supposed to be like -5 today.

Bunch of software licenses expired, so I have to renew them.

Go to activate a new license and it gives me an error saying "Your license has expired".

No f***ing shit the old license expired, that's literally why I'm here, trying to activate a new license.

One national title, 47 seasons and Jim Boeheim's 10 greatest moments at Syracuse

One title, nearly five decades and 1,015 victories. Jim Boeheim did it all at Syracuse, where he was known for that 2-3 zone and, later in his career, surprising March Madness runs.

It wasn't all positive during Boeheim's 50-plus-year career at Syracuse. He was suspended for nine games of the 2015-16 campaign following an NCAA investigation into the university's men's basketball and football programs, a probe that also caused the school to vacate 101 wins.

Same reasons you can watch the guy who used to be on MSDNC.

How soon we forget about Nevin Shapiro

Miami was literally put on probation in the 90s for their flaunting...

And that scandal wasn't even Shapiro either in 1995...

The Hurricanes finished Davis's first season with a record of 8–3.[141] However, on December 20, 1995, the NCAA announced that Miami would be subject to severe sanctions for numerous infractions within the athletic department.[142] The Hurricanes were forced to sit out postseason play for the first time since 1982 and docked 31 scholarships from 1996 to 1998.[142] Miami had actually self-reported the violations in 1991. However, when the Department of Education got word that school officials helped athletes fraudulently obtain Pell Grants, it asked Miami to stop its own investigation while it conducted its own. Ultimately, 60 athletes were implicated, but all of them avoided criminal charges after being sent through a pretrial diversion program.[143]

In 1994, Tony Russell, a former University of Miami academic advisor, pleaded guilty to helping more than 80 student athletes, 57 of whom were football players, falsify Pell Grant applications in exchange for kickbacks from the players themselves. The scandal dated all the way back to 1989 and fraudulently secured more than $220,000 in federal grants. Federal officials later said that Russell had engineered "perhaps the largest centralized fraud ever committed" in the history of the Pell Grant program.[144][145]

In late 1995, the NCAA concluded that, in addition to the fraudulent Pell Grants facilitated by Russell, the university had also provided or allowed over $400,000 worth of other, improper payments to Miami football players. The NCAA also found that the university had failed to wholly implement its drug testing program, and permitted three football student-athletes to compete without being subject to the required disciplinary measures specified in the policy. The NCAA found that this was evidence that school officials didn't have adequate control over the football program.[146] Miami docked itself seven scholarships as part of a self-imposed sanction in 1995, and the NCAA took away another 24 scholarships over the next two years.

As a result of the scandal, Sports Illustrated's Alexander Wolff wrote a famed and controversial cover story, arguing that Miami should at least temporarily shut down its football program.[144]

The low point for Miami came in 1997 when they posted a 5–6 record, the first losing season since Howard Schnellenberger's first year in 1979.[151] The 1997 season saw the Hurricanes suffer one of the program's most humiliating losses, a 47–0 beating at the hands of in-state rival Florida State.[152][153]

Despicable, lirl

How anyone can watch the idiotic fearmongering on Fox News is beyond me. Nothing but constant doom, gloom, and culture wars to distract from the actual issues and stories.

And yet in 2001, just 3 short years after the time frame mentioned in the TL;DR copy pasta, The U fielded perhaps the greatest team in college football history.

Meanwhile, some very thought provoking comments on r/collegebasketball as folks ponder whether Syracuse is on the way to becoming the next Georgetown.

you're asking for more retribution if you don't shut up about this crap

syracuse isn't even CLOSE to being on georgetown's level.

Them and 1995 Nebraska were the best teams I've ever seen, and UM was the most complete. Nebraska just ruined you at the LOS, Miami was depth after athletes after depth after athletes.

Our 1999 wire-to-wire team couldn't have handled 2001 Miami.

Yeah, no.

MSNBC is averagely shitty cable news.

Fox News is the propaganda arm of the [redacted] party, and was literally created to prevent another event like Nixon's impeachment.

you were warned about retribution...

Come on now, if you are going to dish it out you have to be able to take it too. Its all in good fun. I will again remind you my whole issue is how clumsy Jim Bo handled his end of game pressser. I know at the end of the day he doesn't care what anyone thinks but its a shame he went out looking as if he forced his bosses to fire him instead of just saying he was retiring. THAT is what caused all this other stuff to be brought up.

When Saban returned to campus a few days later, he was unaware the man was Jewish and reportedly said "Getting thrown in the lake? Sounds like fun to me."[88] Miami's Jewish community complained, and despite numerous apologies, Saban offered to resign mid-season. Saban was convinced to remain through the end of the season, however, before leaving to coach at Army.[89]

MSNBC is as crappy as Fox. CNN is fair and balanced.

My good friend Jake Tapper tells no lies.

Real fitting a guy whose basketball program was SUSPENDED for 14 years is talking shit on a legend like Jim Bo

Sorry you couldn't have a coach who consistently won games over 47 years
