Re: Non-UA Tourney Thread

NC State just turned my $1 into $15!! Jumped in early on NC State to win the region at +1400. Would've too for 'bama but I couldn't pull the trigger. Also bonus that Duke doesn't go to the FF. Win all around, other than f'ing NC State getting to a FF before us.

Re: 2020-2021 Phoenix Suns

Yeah but UofAlum05 means that the fans caused the loss. People who grew up Suns fans believe that a team's losses stem from divine interventions responding to their fanbase's confidence, and transfer that belief to other teams we root for. Also, Phoenix Suns fans relate to being down 3-2 in a serie...

80% of weight loss is what you put in your mouth. I am in the within my weight range for my health. Here are my tips: 1. Get at least 7 1/2 hours of sleep each night.

So, I've always battled with my weight from being the "fat" nerdy kid that was female kryptonite until something finally clicked before my senior year of high school.
