Western Illinois University women’s basketball scored 116 points last night in their opening game. Yes, it was a D-3 opponent. But it was 116 points spread around all 13 players. The Ohio Valley Conference may be in play this year.
Wero a payment system in Germany is finally able to be used for online payments. Next year, the Dutch system becomes part of it. This is big for a part of Europe’s digital sovereignty. Having their own payment system instead of everyone using American services like Paypal, Visa, or Mastercard.
Just wanted to give props for the Snocaps video. For those that don’t know, one of the singers (Katie Crutchfield) is the lead of Waxahatchee, one of the best folk/Americana acts going right now.
Short of playing the third string, which we did, I do not know what you think should have been done. We were at 46 points in the middle of the second quarter.
Not shooting would have been poor form. Intentionally missing shots would have been poor form. Quitting would not have helped the other team develop their skills and teamwork.
Putting in a 10 point rule or a 20 point rule is something that could be discussed at the NCAA level I suppose, or not allowing smaller schools like WIU to play bigger schools like U of I might be an option.
I grabbed a ticket this morning for their Dec 2 show at Thalia Hall. Is Rich coming up for one of their two shows?

The $40 million Amtrak underpass boondoggle that the Towm of Normal narrowly approved this week has disaster written all over it.
With expected costs of the project jumping $12 million beyond estimates and the looming risk Trump lashes out and claws back those promised federal funds should have cause the Town to abandon this course.
Ugh.

But poor form? Really?
