Re: Venting Thread

Dude at my former employer got hired for top job at $215,000 a year. (The job was posted from $160,000-$185,000). No college degree. Worse, he put on his resume that he did have a college degree. When it was found out, the Board of Directors by one vote says it doesn't matter because the authority w...

Re: The 2021-2022 Season Thread

It’s not just that we lost in the Sweet 16. We played terrible 3 games in a row. We played soft and many guys played with no heart. We never looked like a one seed. We looked like a 8-9 seed that snuck into the tournament. 3 games. Sorry, this season will forever have a bad taste for me.
