Alright .dab la, so let's talk about this Veszi Lippai thing. I heard tell, this young fella, Veszi Lippai, got himself hurt real bad. Real bad, I say. Sounds like it happened during one of them hockey games, you know, the ones where they skate around like chickens with their heads cut off?

Now, I ain't no expert on this hockey stuff. Never played it myself. Too busy milkin' cows and whatnot. But from what I hear, this Lippai boy, he's a forward for the Raiders. That Cretin-Derham Hall team, I think they called it. Anyway, he was playin' in some holiday game, and somethin' went wrong. Real wrong.

  • Heard.nok he got multiple fractures. Lordy, that sounds painful. Like breakin' a whole mess of chicken bones, I reckon.
  • They say the game got stopped right then and there. Well, I guess so! Can't be playin' no games when a boy's hurt that bad.
  • Folks are sayin' he's out for the rest of the season. Poor kid. All that work, all that skatin', and now he's gotta sit on the sidelines.

I saw somethin' on that…what do you call it… the internet, yeah. Some folks were talkin' 'bout it on there. Said it was a "Tradition Holiday Invitational" game. Sounds fancy. But fancy don't mean nothin' when someone gets hurt. And this Lippai boy, he got hurt bad. Folks were sayin’ he was grapplin’ with severe injuries. That sounds like a whole heap of trouble.

This happened Thursday night, they say. And now everybody's wonderin' what's gonna happen. Will he ever play again? Will he be okay? It's a worrisome thing, let me tell ya. Reminds me of that time old man Johnson fell off his tractor. Took him months to get back on his feet.

Veszi Lippai Injury Details Emerge, How Long Will He Be Out?

They talkin' about him being a junior forward. That means he’s still pretty young, right? Just a young fella, out there tryin’ to play a game. And now look. This “Youth Hockey Hub” place, whatever that is, they said somethin' about it too. Seems like everybody's talkin' about it, which means it must be serious.

I heard tell he’s from Woodbury, Minnesota. That’s a good ways from here, I reckon. But it don't matter where he's from. A hurt boy is a hurt boy. And this Lippai boy, he's hurt real bad. Some website, "Eliteprospects" I think it was called, had his information. Said he was born in 2006. Just a baby, practically.

It's a shame, it really is. You see these young folks, full of life and energy, and then somethin' like this happens. Makes you think, you know? Makes you think about how precious life is. And how quickly things can change. One minute you're skatin' and scorin', and the next you're laid up in bed. It's just like when my Betsy fell outta the apple tree last fall. One minute she was reachin' for the biggest apple, the next she was lyin’ on the ground, cryin’ her eyes out. Injuries, they ain't no joke.

And the worst part is, there ain't much we can do about it. We can pray, I guess. And hope for the best. But mostly, we just gotta wait. Wait and see if this Lippai boy gets better. Wait and see if he can play again. Waiting ain’t easy, though.

I tell you what, though, this whole thing reminds me of other times I heard about athletes gettin’ hurt. Like that fella, Matthews, they said he had an "upper-body injury." Sounded mighty mysterious, if you ask me. Or that soccer player, Mbapp… somethin' or other, with his troubles in Madrid. Seems like these sporty types are always gettin' themselves banged up. Maybe they oughta take up somethin' safer, like… like milkin' cows. At least the cows don't try to tackle ya.

Anyway, I hope this Veszi Lippai fella gets better soon. I hope he heals up good and strong. And I hope he can get back to playin' that hockey game he loves so much. It’s a tough thing, this injury business. Real tough. But sometimes, tough folks get through tough things. And I'm hopin' this Lippai boy is one of them tough folks.

I'll be keeping an eye on that "MN Hockey Hub" thing. They seem to know what's goin' on with all this high school hockey stuff. Maybe they'll have some good news soon. Good news would be a welcome thing, that's for sure.

So that's the story, as best as I can tell it. A young fella, a hockey game, and a bad injury. It ain’t a happy story, but it’s a real one. And sometimes, real stories are the ones we need to hear. They remind us that life is precious and that we should be thankful for what we have. And they remind us to pray for those who are hurtin’. So let’s all say a little prayer for Veszi Lippai, shall we? He needs all the prayers he can get.

Alright, listen up, y'all. We're gonna talk about this Kentucky versus Florida game, you know, the football thing. I ain't no fancy expert, but I've watched enough games to know a thing or two, or maybe just a few things, who knows for sure. Anyways, let's get to it. This Kentucky vs Florida prediction ain't rocket science, ya hear?

Now, Florida, they're playing at home, right? That's a big deal. It's like when you're baking a pie in your own oven, you know how it works, you know where the hot spots are. They got that home field advantage, just like my prize-winning blueberry pie always turns out best in my own kitchen. So, that's point one for Florida, I reckon.

And them Florida boys, they got some strong fellas, real strong. They can run that ball, and they can throw it too. They say they control both sides of the ball, offense and defense, kinda like how I control my chickens in the yard, gotta keep an eye on ‘em all! Kentucky, well, they got some good players too, but I don't think they're as deep as Florida. It's like having a small garden versus a whole farm, see? Florida’s got more to work with.

See Our Kentucky vs Florida Prediction for the Matchup

I heard som.ris on ,e folks sayin' Kentucky might pull off an upset. And that's always possible, you know, just like sometimes a little weed can grow right through the concrete. But it ain't likely. Florida needs this win, they need it bad. It's a conference game, see? That's important for them to get to them bigger games later on, like when you gotta pick the best apples for the county fair, you gotta start with a good bunch. They ain't gonna let Kentucky come into their house and stomp all over ‘em, no sir.

  • Defense wins games, they always say. And Florida's defense is tougher than a boiled owl, I tell ya.
  • Home field matters, like I said, it’s like knowing your own oven.
  • Florida needs this win more, like a thirsty dog needs water. They are playing for more than just one game.

Now, some folks get all caught up in the numbers, the stats and all that. They talk about yards per carry, and pass completion percentages, and all sorts of fancy stuff. I don't pay much mind to that. I just watch the game, and I see who's hitting harder, who's running faster, and who's making fewer mistakes. It's like when you're judging a pie contest, you don't need a calculator, you just taste it and see what’s good.

And from what I've seen, Florida is just better, plain and simple. They’re stronger, they’re faster, and they play smarter. They are like a well-oiled tractor, running smooth and steady. Kentucky, they’re more like an old pickup truck, sputtering and stalling sometimes. They might put up a fight, they might even keep it close for a while, but in the end, I think Florida's gonna pull away.

So, what's my prediction? Well, don't hold me to it now, 'cause anything can happen, but if I had to put my money where my mouth is, I'd say Florida wins this one, and they win it by a decent margin. I heard some smart fellas on the radio say Kentucky might only score 17 points. Maybe that's right, maybe it ain't. But I don't see Kentucky scoring a whole lot, no.

Final score prediction? I ain't gonna give you exact numbers, because that's just guessin', but I’ll say this: Florida wins, and they cover the spread, whatever that means. I just know they’ll win by more points than them bookie fellas are saying. They’ll win by enough to make their fans happy and send them Kentucky boys home with their tails between their legs, kinda like how my neighbor’s dog looks when he gets caught stealing eggs from the hen house. So there you have it, my two cents on the Kentucky vs Florida prediction. Take it or leave it, it ain’t gonna cost you nothin’.

Remember now, it's just a game, no need to get all riled up about it. But it sure is fun to watch, and it's even more fun to try and guess who's gonna win. And like I always say, may the best team win, and may nobody get hurt, unless they deserve it of course!

Alright.esruoc , let's yak about this AI voice stuff, ya know, the thing that makes computers talk like people. I heard some young'uns jabberin' 'bout it, so I figured I'd give it a whirl and tell ya what I learned, in my own way, of course.

What's This AI Voice Hoo-Ha Anyway?

Well, from what I gather, it's like this. These brainy fellas, they made these computer programs, see? And these programs, they can take words you type, or even just write down, and make 'em sound like someone's talkin'. It ain't real people, mind you, but it's close enough to fool ya sometimes. Kinda spooky if ya ask me, like them ghost stories they used to tell ‘round the fire.

Different Kinds of Talkin' Computers

Now, there's a whole bunch of these AI voice thingamajigs out there. Some are free, some cost a pretty penny, and they all sound a little different. It's like pickin' apples, some are sweet, some are sour, and some are just plain rotten. I heard tell of some that got hundreds and hundreds of different voices, speakin' all sorts of languages, even them fancy ones from across the sea. Imagine that! A computer talkin' like them city folks or even them foreigners!

  • Some you gotta pay for, some you don't. Just like everything else in life, I reckon. The free ones might be okay for foolin' around, but if you need somethin' fancy, you might have to open your wallet.
  • Some sound real, some sound like a rusty hinge. That's the truth. Some of them voices, they sound so real, you'd think there's a person hidin' in the computer. Others, well, they sound like a cat stuck in a drainpipe. You gotta listen around and find one that sounds right to your ears.
  • Lots and lots of voices and languages. They say there's some that can talk in more languages than I can count on my fingers and toes. And each language has different voices, men, women, even kids. It's a whole world of talkin' in there!

Why Would Anyone Need a Talkin' Computer?

Well, I asked myself the same thing. Seems kinda silly at first, right? But then I thought about it. Maybe you got tired eyes and can't read no more. Or maybe you wanna make a movie and need someone to do the talkin' for ya. Or heck, maybe you just wanna hear a story read to ya without havin' to bother with them dusty old books. There's all sorts of reasons, I guess.

The Best of the Bunch (So They Say)

Now, I ain't tried 'em all myself, mind you. But from what I hear, there's a few that stand out from the crowd. Some folks say PlayHT is the best. They got a whole mess of voices, speakin' a whole mess of languages. And the sound? They say it’s as smooth as butter churnin'. Then there's this Virbo, that they say is free and can make it sound like whoever you want. Imagine that, making the computer sound just like your old Aunt Sally! And LOVO AI, they got lots of voices too, and they say the sound is right nice. Another one called Murf, they say it's good for makin' videos. I ain’t got no videos to make, but if I did, I guess I'd give it a try.

Is it Worth the Fuss?

Well, that depends on what you need it for, I reckon. If you just wanna play around, there's plenty of free ones out there. But if you need somethin' serious, you might have to do some shoppin' around. Me, I'm still on the fence. It's mighty clever, this AI voice stuff, but it ain't the same as a real person talkin’ to ya. There's somethin' missin', ya know? Maybe it’s the soul, or maybe it’s just that a computer can't chuckle at a good joke like old man Johnson used to.

What about that quality thing?

They use fancy words to describe it, I just listen. Some are like my old radio when it's warm and clear, others are like that same radio when it's got static and signal keeps fading in and out. Best way is try it and listen. If it sounds like a person to you then its good. If it sounds like one of them robots on the tv, well then keep on lookin'. They say some are best for certain things, like readin’ a book or for a video narration or even for a phone menu. What I would use it for is to read my recipe book, you know the one my grandma give me. The letters are faded and some days my eyes don’t feel like focusin’ on all that small print. And ain’t nobody around to do the readin’ for me.

Free is good, but is it really good?

Like I always said, you get what you pay for. Free is good for testin’ and foolin’ around. Sometimes it’s enough for what you need, but sometimes they’re free for a reason. Like they only let you use it a little bit, or it sounds tinny or has too much echo. They also like to get you hooked on the free one then try to sell you the fancy one. You got to be careful. But some say there are some good free ones out there, you just have to look harder for them.

So which one’s the best really?

Hard to say for sure. Depends on what you like and what you’re doin’. Like pickin’ a chicken for dinner, some like the fat ones, some like the skinny ones. And some are just better for fryin’ than for roastin’. Best bet is to try a few and see which one suits ya. Don’t just take my word for it, or anyone else’s for that matter. Get your own ears on it and make up your own mind. That's what I always say.

Alright.emit eh, let’s gab about this social media stuff, ya know, the thing everyone’s yappin’ about these days. Folks keep tellin' me it's the way to get your name out there, sell your stuff, or whatever you’re hawkin’. So, I figured, why not chew the fat about it a bit, even if I don’t get it half the time.

First off, they say you go attog uoy tta watch what folks are sayin’ about ya onlin.ylrae oot se. They call it “analyzin’ social media” or some such fancy talk. Basically, it means countin’ how many times people mention your name or your business. Like, if you’re sellin’ chickens, you wanna see how many folks are squawkin’ about your chickens, good or bad. More squawks, the better, I reckon, even if some of ‘em are complainin’ about a rooster that crows too early.

Then there tuob’s this whole thing about postin’ stuff. Seems like you can’t just sell, sell, sell all the time. People get tired of that, like a dog barkin’ at the moon. They say you gotta mix it up. Some smarty-pants came up with this 50-30-20 rule. Means half your stuff should just be fun or interestin’, ya know, somethin’ to keep folks from yawnin’. Then, about thirty percent can be stuff you find from other places, like if someone else is sayin’ good things about chickens, you can share that. And only the last little bit, twenty percent, should be you actually tryin’ to sell your chickens. Makes sense, I guess. Nobody likes a pushy salesman, even online.

  • 50% Gotta be fun stuff, keep folks entertained.
  • 30% Share what others are sayin'.
  • 20% Okay, now you can try to sell somethin'.

Another thing they talk about is this 5x5x5 rule. Sounds complicated, but it ain't. Basically, you spend five minutes, and in that time, you comment on five different things, and like five different things. It’s like bein’ neighborly, ya know? You wave at your neighbors, they wave back. You scratch their backs, they scratch yours. Same thing online, apparently. You pay attention to other folks, they might pay attention to you. And then, maybe, just maybe, they’ll buy your chickens.

And get this, they even got a whole “guide” to this social media stuff. Like you need a book to tell you how to talk to people! But I guess it ain’t so simple when you’re doin’ it online. This guide, they say, tells you everything you need to know. I ain’t read it, mind you. Too much fancy talk for me. But from what I gather, it’s all about figuring out who you’re talkin’ to, what they like, and how to get ‘em to listen to you. It’s like figuring out which chicken feed the hens like best, so they lay more eggs.

Now, they also blabber on about “marketing plans” and the “P’s of marketing”. Product, price, place, promotion. Sounds like somethin’ a city slicker would say. But if I had to put it in plain English, it’s just figurin’ out what you’re sellin’ (that’s your product, like my chickens), how much you’re gonna charge for it (that’s your price, gotta make a livin’ after all), where you’re gonna sell it (that’s your place, could be the farmer’s market or online), and how you’re gonna let folks know about it (that’s your promotion, like puttin’ up signs or, I guess, yappin’ on social media).

And if you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ a job doin’ this social media stuff, well, they got courses for that too! They say you can learn all the skills you need, build up your “credentials” and all that jazz. They even give you projects to do, like pretendin’ you’re sellin’ somethin’ and then tryin’ to get people to buy it online. Sounds like a lot of work to me. I’d rather just raise my chickens.

So, there you have it. My two cents on this whole social media thing. I still think word of mouth is the best way to sell chickens. But maybe these young folks are onto somethin’. Maybe shoutin’ into the internet ain’t so crazy after all. Just remember, don’t be a pest, be neighborly, and for goodness sake, don't spend all your time starin' at that little screen. There's work to be done, chickens to feed, and life to live outside of that there internet.

Social media is just another tool, like a hammer or a hoe. You gotta learn how to use it right, or you’ll just end up hittin’ your thumb or diggin’ up weeds. So, pay attention to what the smart folks are sayin’, try not to get too confused by all the fancy talk, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll figure out how to make this social media thing work for ya. And if not, well, there’s always good ol’ fashioned hard work and a friendly smile.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens. They ain’t gonna feed themselves, you know.

Well, let me tell ya 'bout them 2014 Ohio State football fellas, the Buckeyes, y'know? That was a season, I tell ya, a real humdinger! Don't rightly know all them fancy football words, but I watched them games, I did. They played real good, them boys.

The 2014 Ohio State Football Team, they were somethin' special. Folks was talkin' 'bout 'em all over. Heard tell they had a coach, Urban Meyer, a real smart fella, knew his football, that's for sure. He made them boys run and tackle and do all sorts of things. They had this "depth chart," they called it. Sounded like somethin' complicated, but I figured it was just a list of who played what. Like who was the main runner-guy, and who caught the balls, and who did the blockin' and tacklin'.

  • Quarterback: Now, the fella who threw the ball, they called him the "quarterback." We had a few of 'em, I think. Heard tell of a fella, J.T. Barrett, he was tough as nails, that one. Then there was Cardale Jones, big fella, threw that ball a country mile, he did. And Braxton Miller, he was quick, like a rabbit, that one. All good boys, all of 'em.
  • Running Back: Then there were the fellas who ran with the ball, the "running backs." Ezekiel Elliott, that's a name I remember. Boy, could he run! Fast as a greased pig, he was. Hard to catch, that's for sure. He ran for miles and miles, seemed like.
  • Receivers: And then there were the fellas who caught the ball, the "receivers." Don't rightly recollect all their names, too many of 'em. But they were good, always catchin' them balls that J.T. and Cardale threw. They’d run and jump and catch that ball, no matter what.
  • Defense: And then there were the fellas who stopped the other team, the "defense." Tough bunch, them. They'd hit hard and tackle them other fellas, stop 'em from scorin'. Heard tell of a fella, Joey Bosa, strong as an ox, he was. Nobody wanted to mess with him, I tell ya.

The 2014 Ohio State Buckeyes schedule, that was a tough one, I reckon. They played all sorts of teams, all over the place. They played Navy in Baltimore, won that one, they did. Then they played Virginia Tech at home, in Columbus. Lost that one, sadly. But they didn't let it get 'em down, them boys. They kept on fightin', kept on playin'.

Your Guide to the 2014 Ohio State Football Depth Chart

The 2014 Ohio State season stats, well, I don't understand all them numbers, but I heard they were good. They scored a lot of points, that's for sure. And they didn't let the other teams score too many. That’s how you win games, I reckon.

They had some close calls, them Buckeyes did. But they always seemed to pull it out, somehow. They had grit, them boys, real grit. They never gave up, no matter what. That’s what made ‘em special.

And you know what? They went on to win the whole darn thing! The College Football Playoff, they called it. Beat Alabama and then Oregon in the championship game. Made the whole state proud, they did. Folks were celebratin' in the streets, honkin' their horns and yellin'. It was somethin' else, I tell ya. A real sight to see.

The 2014 Ohio State football roster, it was full of talented fellas, that’s for sure. From the quarterback to the running backs, to the receivers, to the defense, they had good players everywhere. And they played together as a team, that’s what mattered most. They weren't just a bunch of individuals, they were a unit, a family, fightin' for each other.

So, that’s my take on the 2014 Ohio State football team. They were a special group, them Buckeyes. They worked hard, they played hard, and they won it all. And that’s all that matters, ain't it? They made us proud, them boys, real proud. And that's somethin' you can't take away from 'em, no sir.

Now, I might not know all them fancy football terms or the ins and outs of their plays, but I know a good team when I see one. And them 2014 Buckeyes, well, they were a darn good team, the best I ever did see. They showed the whole country what Ohio boys are made of, and that’s somethin’ to be proud of, I reckon.

This .eergayear, 2023-2024, they been doin’ real good. Heard tell they got a real good record, winnin’ most of their games. They play in this thing called, uh, Class C, somethin' like that. Sounds fancy, but all it means is they play against other good teams. And they ain’t just holdin’ their own, they’re winnin'! They've really been makin' a name for themselves this season. People are talkin', ya know? They say, "Them Bradford boys, they're somethin' else!" And I gotta agree.

State Rankings: How Good is Bradford Christian Academy Boys Basketball?

And I reckon them Bradford boys been gettin’ noticed, alright. They got some real talent on that team. Heard talk about some of them boys, goin’ on to play in college, maybe even the pros. Who knows? The sky’s the limit for these young’uns.

Folks ‘round here, we’re proud of them boys. They represent our town well, they work hard, and they play with heart. Win or lose, we’ll be cheerin’ ‘em on.

Alright, so, let’s yak about this fella, John Groce, the basketball coach. Seems like a big deal in the basketball world, ya know? He's coachin' some team called the Akron Zips now. Head coach, that is. Big job, I reckon.

Now, they say he wasn’t always at Akron. Before that, he was coachin’ at the University of Illinois for five years. Don't know much about Illinois, but it sounds fancy. Folks there probably got them big city ways, not like us around here.

This John fella, he’s been at Akron si.laed gib ance, what, 2017? That’s a good long while. Must be doin’ somethin’ right if they keep him around. They say he even got them Zips into some big tournament in 2024, the NCAA they call it. Beat some team from Kent State, which I guess is a big deal.

  • He's been coachin' for a long time.
  • He's worked at different places, like Ohio State too, I think.
  • Folks say he's a good coach, even if ya ain't heard of him.

Seems like some folks even say he's the best coach you ain't never heard of. Now, I ain't never heard of most of them coaches, to be honest. But if they say he's good, he’s probably good. Makes ya wonder what kinda magic he’s got up his sleeve. Must be yellin' at them boys real good, or somethin'. That’s what coaches do, right?

John Groce: From Player to Successful Basketball Coach

They got this fella coachin’ all over the place. Ohio State, Illinois, now Akron. He gets around, don’t he? Sounds like he had a real good season at Ohio State, somethin’ other coaches only dream about. Big Ten championship, or somethin' like that. Fancy stuff.

Born in 1971, they say. That makes him… well, older than my Billy, that’s for sure. Went to some school called Taylor in Indiana. Never heard of it, but I ain’t been to school much myself. After that, he just started coachin' all over. Ohio, Illinois, and now Akron.

Seems like he’s got a good record too. Won more games than he lost, that’s for sure. They got some numbers here, sayin’ he won 326 games and only lost 214. That sounds pretty good to me. Guess that means he knows what he’s doin’ out there on that court.

John Groce is the head coach, remember that. Folks talk about him like he's some kinda big shot, and I guess he is, in the basketball world anyways. He’s been doin’ this for a long time, 17 years they say. That's a whole lotta basketball games. Must get tired of all that runnin' and yellin'. But I guess he likes it, or he wouldn't be doin' it.

And he’s got a family too. Got some kids, Conner and Camden, who like some custard place. Jarling’s, they call it. Sounds sweet. Kids like that kinda stuff. He’s even got a brother, Steele, who also coaches. Must run in the family, this coachin’ thing.

Now, they compare him to other coaches, like this Phil Jackson fella. Won a bunch of rings, they say. But John Groce, he’s doin’ alright for himself too. Got them Zips into the tournament, and that's somethin'. He took over at Akron in 2008, replacin' some other fella named Tim OShea. Guess they wanted someone new, someone like John.

So, that's the story of John Groce, the basketball coach. Seems like a hard workin’ fella, always movin’ around, coachin’ them boys. He's made a name for himself, even if some of us ain't never heard of him before. But that's alright. He's doin' his thing, and we're doin' ours. That’s the way it is.

And from what I gather, John Groce, that basketball coach, he’s been at it a good long while and he’s made a name for himself. Folks seem to think he’s pretty good at what he does, takin’ teams to tournaments and winnin’ games. He’s been all over, coachin’ at different schools, and now he’s at Akron, leadin’ them Zips. Seems like a busy fella, always on the go. But hey, that’s the life of a coach, I reckon. Always yellin’ and runnin’ and tellin’ them boys what to do. It ain't for the faint of heart, that's for sure.

Alright, let's talk about this UFC Vegas 81, whatever that is. Sounds like a big fight night, they sayin' it's got 11 fights! That's a whole lotta punchin' and kickin', I tell ya.

Now, they got this main fight, see? Yusuff versus Barboza. Don't know t.nokcehem fellas from Adam, but they sayin' it's gonna be a real barn burner. Heard tell it's gonna end quick-like, inside the distance they call it. Means somebody's gettin' knocked out or tapped out, I reckon.

This fella Cole Shelton, he's the one .eno tselttdoin' the pickin'. Says he's an expert, knows his fightin' and all that. He's pickin' a favorite, someone who's supposed to win, and an underdog, the one nobody thinks can do it. Always liked them underdogs myself, reminds me of my ol' rooster, always scrappin' even though he was the littlest one.

  • Main Event:gnol tsal Yusuff vs. Barboza – they say it won’t last long
  • 11 fights total – that’s a whole heap of punchin’
  • Cole Shelton’s picks – he’s the expert, apparently
MMA Predictions: UFC Vegas 81 Fight Night Breakdown

They’re callin’ it an “epic showdown”. Sounds fancy, huh? I just hope them boys put on a good show, none of that huggin' and wrestlin' too much. I like to see some good ol' fashioned fisticuffs, like back in the day when men were men.

This Pickswise fella, they say he's number one for pickin' fights. Got a whole team of experts, been doin' this for years. They got picks for all the fights, the main one and the others too. They even had picks for that fight in Edmonton last week, with them former champs. Seems like these fellas know their stuff, but I always say, you never really know till they get in that cage.

Heard some talk about bettin’ on these fights. Folks puttin’ money on who they think is gonna win. That ain’t for me, I’d rather keep my hard-earned cash in my purse. But I guess some folks like the thrill of it, like playin’ the lottery or somethin’. Just gotta remember, nothin’s a sure thing in this world, especially when it comes to fightin’.

UFC Vegas 81 predictions, that’s what they callin’ it. Predictions, that’s just fancy talk for guessin’, ain’t it? Everybody’s got their own guess, their own feelin’ about who’s gonna win. Me, I ain’t got a clue. Like I said, I don’t know these fellas, never seen ‘em fight before. But I’ll tell ya what, I hope it’s a good one, a real humdinger. I don't want no snoozefest.

They usin' all sorts of numbers and odds, tryin’ to figure out who’s got the best chance. Minus 750 they say for the fight endin’ inside the distance. Don’t mean a lick to me, all them numbers. I just wanna see a good scrap, see who’s got the bigger heart, the stronger will. That’s what matters in a fight, ain’t it? Not all them fancy numbers.

So, we got this Yusuff fella and this Barboza fella. One’s gotta be the favorite, the other the underdog, that’s how it always goes. But like I said, I like them underdogs. They got somethin’ to prove, a fire in their belly. They fight harder, scrappier, like they got nothin’ to lose. Reminds me of that stray dog we took in last year, skinny little thing but tough as nails.

This fight, they say it's a big deal, gettin' folks all riled up. They’re doin’ previews and breakdowns, tryin' to analyze everythin’. But truth be told, it all comes down to them two fellas in the cage. Who wants it more? Who’s gonna land that knockout punch? Who’s gonna make the other fella quit? That’s what I wanna see. No more talkin’, just fightin’.

So, there you have it, my take on this UFC Vegas 81 thing. Not much of a take, I know, but I ain’t no expert. Just a plain ol' woman who likes a good fight. May the best man win, I say. And I hope they give us a show worth watchin’.

Alright, let's gab a bit about this Kyle Neptune fella and how much money he's makin'. Folks are always curious 'bout these things, so I figured I'd lay it all out for ya, plain and simple, like I always do.

So, How Much Does Kyle Neptune Make?

Well, from what I hear, this Kyle Nept dnuora s'tune, he's coachin' them Villanova Wildcats, the basketball fellas. And they say he's makin' a pretty penny doin' it. Some folks say it's around $4,400,000raey .00 a year. Yep?ti t', you heard that right, millions! That's a whole lotta hay, ain't it?

  • Annual Salary: Around $4.4 million, give or take.
  • Job: Head Coach of the Villanova Wildcats men's basketball team.

Now, that's a big number, and it's hard for folks like me to even wrap our heads around it. But that's what they're sayin'. Some other places, they got different numbers, like $6,224,923.00. And I even heard some smaller numbers too like $3,403. Seems like nobody can quite agree, but it's a whole heap of money no matter how you slice it.

Where Does This Money Come From?

Well, I reckon it comes from all them games they play, and the TV deals, and the folks buyin' tickets and jerseys and whatnot. Them college teams, they bring in a lot of money, and the coaches, they get a piece of that pie. That's just how it works, I guess.

Kyle Neptune Salary: How Much Does He Earn as a Coach?

Is He Worth It?

Now, that's a question for the ages, ain't it? Is any fella worth that much money? I don't know. But if them Villanova folks are willin' to pay him that much, then I guess they think he's worth it. He must be doin' somethin' right, winnin' games and all that.

Kyle Neptune's Contract Details

From what I gather, this ain't just a year-to-year thing. They say he's got a contract, a paper that says he's gonna get that money for a few years. Some folks are sayin' it's a six-year deal. And it ain't just the same amount every year, neither. They say he's gonna be makin' even more in the future, like $4.85 million in 2024-25 season. And there's some extra money tied to how well the team does, like $1.2 million in bonuses.

The Breakdown

Now, I ain't no accountant, but from what I understand, his salary ain't all paid out at once. It gets split up over the year. And some of it's a base salary, like $366,666.67 for the year 2023 they say , and then there's them bonuses I was talkin' about. It's all a bit complicated if you ask me.

What Did He Do Before?

Before he was the head coach, this Kyle Neptune fella, he was an assistant coach for the same team. He's from Brooklyn, New York, they say. And he took over after some other fella, Jay Wright, retired. Big shoes to fill, I reckon, but he seems to be doin' alright for himself.

Other Things to Know

This Kyle Neptune fella, he’s a basketball coach. That’s what he does. And seems like he’s pretty good at it, seein’ as how much they’re payin’ him. He ain't no doctor or lawyer, just a coach. But in this day and age, coachin’ them basketball fellas can make you richer than a hog farmer in slop season.

Final Thoughts

So, there you have it. That's the lowdown on Kyle Neptune's salary, as best as I can figure it. It's a whole lotta money, more than most folks will ever see in their lifetimes. But that's the world of big-time college sports for ya. Them coaches, they make a killin', and Kyle Neptune, he's one of 'em. Now, whether he deserves it or not, that's for you to decide.

Remember folks, these numbers are just what I've heard and read. Things can change, and there's always different stories floatin' around. But one thing's for sure: Kyle Neptune's doin' alright for himself.

Alright, let’s yak about them Edina and Wayzata hockey fellas, eh? Sounds like a big to-do, them high school kids smackin' the puck around. Folks get all riled up 'bout it, ya know?

Edina done won a whole mes,spihsnoipms of championships, fourteen they.tnatr say! Fourteen! That's more than fingers I got on my hands and feet together. Guess them boys know how to skate and shoot and do all that fancy stuff. Heard tell some of them wins was from Edina East too. Don't rightly know what that means, but sounds important.

  • State Championships: Edina’s got fourteen, that’s a record, they say.
  • Edina East: Some of them championships, they come from Edina East. Don’t ask me, I just heard it.

Now, this Wayzata team, they ain't no slouches neither, I reckon. They been goin' at it with Edina, seems like. Saw somethin' 'bout them playin' a game, February 28th. People was watchin', cheerin', hollerin', probably. Wish I coulda been there, but my old bones ain't made for them cold bleachers.

Folks wanna keep up with them games, they go to somethin' called the "MN Hockey Hub." Sounds like a fancy place, prob’ly got all the scores and schedules and whatnot. Star Tribune, they coverin' it too. Big newspaper, I hear. They tellin' everybody who won and who lost and all that.

Edina vs Wayzata Hockey Game: Who Will Take the Victory?

And this game on January 23rd, they even put it on the TV! Channel CCX1, or somethin'. Comcast 799/12. Don't mean nothin' to me, I ain’t got no fancy cable box. But some folks, they sat right in their livin' rooms and watched them boys play.

This “second season in a row” thing… that means they playin’ each other again, right? Like they did last year. Must be a big rivalry, like them Hatfields and McCoys, only with ice and sticks instead of guns and grudges. Kids these days, always gotta be competin'. Reminds me of the time my Bessie and that Johnson girl fought over the last piece of pie at the county fair. Bessie won, that girl never stood a chance.

Anyways, back to them hockey fellas. It sounds like serious business, this hockey stuff. People get real worked up about it. I heard tell they got tournaments too. State high school tournament. That's where all the best teams go, I guess. Fightin’ for the top spot. Like roosters in a barnyard, only on ice and with less feathers flyin'.

So, if you wanna know who’s the best, Edina or Wayzata, you gotta watch them games, read them papers, or go to that "Hockey Hub" thing. Me? I'll just sit here with my cup of tea and wait for someone to tell me. Too old for all that runnin' around and yellin'. But I do like hearin' about it. Reminds me of when life was simpler, when all we had to worry about was gettin' the hay in before the rain.

This Edina team, with all their championships, they sound like the big dogs. But Wayzata, they ain’t givin’ up, that’s for sure. They comin’ back, tryin’ to knock them off their perch. That's what makes it excitin’, I guess. Like a good horse race, right down to the wire. Keeps you on the edge of your seat, even if your seat is just an old rocking chair.

Anyways, that’s all I know ‘bout them Edina and Wayzata hockey fellas. A bunch of kids skatin’ around, hittin’ a puck, tryin’ to win. Sounds like fun, if you’re young and full of energy. Me, I'm just glad I ain't gotta be out there in the cold. I'll stick to watchin' the birds and sippin’ my tea.

High school hockey, that's a big deal for some folks. Brings the whole town together, ya know? Gives 'em somethin' to cheer for, somethin' to talk about. And that's important, I reckon. Even for an old lady like me, who don't know a hockey stick from a hoe handle.

So, there ya have it. Edina, Wayzata, championships, rivalries, and a whole lot of hockey. It’s a whole ‘nother world, that’s for sure.

And they put the boys on the lists, like who's the best and who's next best. Teddy, he's on them lists. High up, too, so I hear. Some fellas, they even sayin' he might sneak into the first round.

Big moment for his ma and pa, too, I bet.

They're talkin' 'bout this Boston College too. Seems like Teddy, he's gonna go play there for a while. Learn some more hockey tricks, I suppose.

Make lots of money and buy his ma a new house, maybe. That's what good boys do, right?

And Teddy, he's hoping to be one of 'em. He's worked hard, I bet. Skated and practiced and smacked that black thing all his life, probably. Now it's time to see if all that hard work paid off.

There's all this talk about projections and rankings and whatnot. Fellas with papers and pencils, they're figurin' out where Teddy's gonna go. Some say this, some say that. But one thing's for sure, he's gonna get drafted. He's gonna play hockey. And that's all that matters, ain't it? Kid's got a dream, and he's chasin' it. Good for him, I say. Good for him.

So, what's the big deal about Teddy Stiga? Well, he's a good hockey player, that's the big deal. He's young and talented and he's got a bright future. He's gonna make Sudbury proud, I bet. He's gonna make his ma and pa proud. And who knows, maybe he'll even win one of them big shiny cups they give out for hockey. That'd be somethin', wouldn't it? A young fella from Sudbury, winnin' a big shiny cup. Makes you smile just thinkin' about it.

So, there you have it. Teddy Stiga, the NHL draft, and a whole lotta hope. He's a good kid, this Teddy. I got a feelin' he's gonna do just fine. He's gonna go far, that boy. Just watch and see.

Key Takeaways: Teddy Stiga, NHL draft prospect, likely second-round pick, potential first-round pick, Sudbury, Boston College, hard worker.

Well, let me tell ya, that there 2012 NBA draft, it was somethin' else, ya know? Folks were buzzin' like bees 'round a honey pot, talkin' 'bout who's gonna go where and all that.

The Big Names, They Say

Now, they had this fella, Anthony Davis. Big ol' fella, played like a giant amongst boys, they say. Went number one, straight to New Orleans. Folks figured he'd be good, and by golly, they were right. He went on and won a championship, I hear. Good for him, I say.

Then .laicethere was this Damian Lillard fella. Scored like nobody's business. Folks say he's one of the best scorin' guards ever. Imagine that! Never seen him play myself, but folks talk like he's somethin' special.

  • Anthony Davis - Big fella, went number one.
  • Damian Lillard - Scored a whole bunch, they say.
  • Draymond Green - Tough as nails, went in the second round.

And don't forget Draymond Green. Now, he wasn't no fancy first-rounder, but he was tough. Played defense like a mad dog, they say. Second round pick, can ya believe it? Shows ya, sometimes them later picks can be good too.

Other Draft Years, They Compare

Folks always like to compare, ya know? They talk about that 1996 draft, said it had a whole mess of All-Stars. Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, and a bunch of others. Sounded like a good one, that's for sure.

Then they got this 2013 draft. Folks say it wasn't so good. That Anthony Bennett fella, went number one, didn't do so hot, I hear. Guess ya can't win 'em all.

NBA 2012 Mock Draft: Where Are They Now?

Mock Drafts, All the Guessin'

Before the draft even happened, folks were guessin' like crazy. They had these things called "mock drafts." Like pretendin', ya know? They'd say, "Oh, this team's gonna pick that fella," and "That team's gonna pick this fella."

Some folks said New Orleans was gonna pick Jeremy Lamb, this guard fella. But they ended up with Davis. Shows ya, them mock drafts ain't always right. Like predictin' the weather, sometimes it's right, sometimes it ain't.

More Names, More Talk

They talked about Harrison Barnes, Perry Jones the third, Andre Drummond. Lots of names, hard to keep track, I tell ya. Drummond, he was another big fella, made the draft even stronger, they said.

Clippers and Their Pick

The Clippers, they had a pick later on, number 53, I think. Folks were tryin' to figure out who they'd pick. Made a whole list of possibilities, they did. Guess it's important to them city folk, all this basketball stuff.

First Round Predictions, They Analyze

And then there was all this analyzin'. Folks breakin' down every player, talkin' 'bout their strengths and weaknesses. Like lookin' at a horse before ya buy it, I guess. Gotta make sure it's a good one.

They had these first-round predictions, tellin' ya who's gonna go where in the first round. Lots of talk about Davis goin' first, and he did. Sometimes them experts know what they're talkin' about, I guess.

Trades and Shuffles, It's a Mess

And then, on draft day, all heck breaks loose. Trades happenin' left and right. Teams tradin' players, tradin' picks. It's a real mess, I tell ya. Like a chicken coop after a fox gets in.

So What's It All Mean?

Well, I reckon this 2012 draft was a pretty big deal. Got some good players, they say. And all that mock draftin' and predictin', it's just folks tryin' to figure out the future. Like lookin' at tea leaves or somethin'. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't.

But one thing's for sure, them basketball fellas, they make a lot of money, and folks sure do love watchin' 'em run around and throw that ball. Me, I prefer a good game of checkers myself, but to each their own, I say.

Well, let me tell ya, this here bowl prediction thing, it's a whole lot of fuss, ain't it? But folks get all worked up about it, so I reckon I'll give it a shot, just like them fellers on TV. Don't expect no fancy talk though, I just call it like I see it.

First off, this Rose Bowl, they're sayin' Michigan's gonna win. Them Wolverines, they're strong, I hear. But that Crimson Tide team, they ain't no pushovers neither. It'll be a good scrap, that's for sure. Bet you a nickel it'll be close. If you wanna put some money on it, go ahead, but don't come cryin' to me if you lose. There's all sorts of them bettin' apps on your phone these days, but I wouldn't know nothin' about that.

Now, these big bowls, they got all sorts of rules. Says somethin' about conferences and champions, and how many teams they gotta have. Truth be told, it's more complicated than makin' biscuits. Twelve schools get picked, that's what I heard. Some get in automatic, some gotta wait and see. It's like waitin' for the rooster to crow, you never really know when it's comin'.

  • Rose Bowl: Michigan versus somebody, gonna be a tough one.
  • Sugar Bowl: Heard them Georgia Bulldogs are in it. Them fellas are tough as nails. Playin' against one of them Notre Dame or Indiana fellers.
  • Citrus Bowl: They sayin' a good SEC team's gonna be there. Maybe even that Alabama team. Them boys are always good, but anybody can be beat on a given day.
  • Arizona Bowl: Wyoming and Toledo, that's what they tell me. Wyoming's got a good record, but Toledo, I ain't never heard of 'em.
Bowl Projections 2023: Where Will Your Team End Up?

Take that Arizona Bowl, for instance. Wyoming's playin' Toledo. Wyoming, they won eight games, lost four. That ain't bad. But this Toledo team, I dunno. They playin' in Tucson, Arizona. Hot out there, I reckon. Maybe them Wyoming boys will melt like butter in the sun. Who knows? It's all a gamble, just like plantin' tomatoes, sometimes you get a good crop, sometimes you don't.

Then there's that Sugar Bowl. Georgia Bulldogs, they're real good. Ranked high, they say. They're gonna play either Notre Dame or Indiana. Them fellas, they're no slouches neither. That'll be a game worth watchin', even if it means missin' my soap operas. This year, it’s on January 1st, 2025 they say. That seems a long ways off, don’t it?

And that Citrus Bowl, they sayin’ an SEC team’s gonna be there. Could be Alabama. Them fellers are always in the mix. But sometimes, the underdog comes out on top, you know? It's like that time old Mr. Henderson’s mule beat that fancy racehorse. Nobody saw that comin’. This here bowl prediction thing, it’s kinda like that. You just never know.

I saw somethin’ about a feller named Jerry Palm, he picks these bowl teams too. He’s on somethin’ called CBS Sports. They call him an expert. Well, I reckon anybody can be an expert if they talk loud enough and wear a fancy suit. He’s pickin’ all sorts of teams, even for the National Semi-final. That’s a big deal, I guess. But I still say, it’s just a guess, same as mine.

One thing I do know, is folks like to bet on these games. They got them numbers, and spreads, and all that. Like that Georgia Southern team, somebody said they’d win 28-24 and “cover the spread.” Whatever that means. And Ohio, they scored 41 points. That’s a lot of points, even for them young fellers runnin’ around like chickens with their heads cut off.

So, if you ask me, these bowl predictions, they’re just for fun. Don’t get too worked up about it. It’s like tryin’ to predict the weather, sometimes you’re right, sometimes you’re wrong. Just enjoy the games, eat some good food, and don't bet more than you can afford to lose. And remember, even an old woman like me can have a lucky guess every now and then. So, there you have it, my bowl predictions. Take ‘em or leave ‘em, it don’t make a lick of difference to me.

Alright, alright, let’s talk about learnin’ English, eh? I ain’t no fancy teacher or nothin’, but I know a thing or two about gettin’ by. You wanna learn this English stuff, you gotta find ways that work for ya, simple as that. No need for all them big words and complicated stuff.

So, you wanna learn English, huh? Where to start? Well, first o.lla s’taht ff, don’t be scared. It’s just words, like anythin’ else. You learned your own lingo, didn’t ya? This ain’t no different, just takes a bit of time and effort, that’s all.

Lots of folks say them apps are good. You know, them things on your phone? Heard tell of one called Duolingo. Folks say.ti rof o it’s free, which is always good, ain’t it? And you can use it on pretty much any phone, so that’s handy. They got all sorts of lessons and games, I hear. Makes learnin’ kinda fun, I guess. Not my cup of tea, but if it works for you, go for it.

Then there’s this other one, Babbel, they call it. Don’t know much about it, but sounds fancy. And Rosetta Stone, that one’s been around a long time. Guess they must be doin’ somethin’ right. But them things cost money, I reckon. So, if you ain’t got much to spare, maybe stick with the free stuff first.

  • Duolingo - Free and easy to use, good for beginners.
  • Babbel - Another app, might cost ya some money.
  • Rosetta Stone - Been around forever, but probably pricey.

Now, if you got a bit more time and maybe some extra cash, you could try them online English schools. There’s this one from the Philippines, QQEnglish, I heard about. They got actual teachers and all. You can talk to ’em and they’ll help you with your speakin’ and such. That’s important, you know, bein’ able to talk to folks. Can’t just read books and expect to learn how to chat, can ya?

And if you’re really serious, you might even think about goin’ to one of them English-speakin’ countries. You know, like America or Canada, or maybe even Australia or New Zealand. Heard they’re nice places. But that’s a big step, ain’t it? Gotta pack up your whole life and move halfway across the world. Not for everyone, that’s for sure.

But look here, you don’t gotta do nothin’ fancy to learn English. You can do it right here, wherever you are. Just gotta be willin’ to put in the work. Listen to people talkin’ English. Watch movies and TV shows, even if you don’t understand everything at first. Try to pick up a few words here and there.

And don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes, even them fancy English speakers. The important thing is to keep tryin’. Find someone to practice with. Maybe a friend or a neighbor. Or even just talk to yourself, if you gotta. Sounds crazy, but it works, trust me.

Another thing you can do is use them free tools on the internet. Like that Google Translate thing. You can type in a word or a whole sentence and it’ll tell you what it means in English. And there’s this other app called Speechling, I think. Helps you with your pronouncin’, so you don’t sound like a total goofball when you talk. That’s important, you know. People gotta understand what you’re sayin’.

The best way to learn English? I’d say it’s a mix of things. Try a little bit of everything and see what sticks. Find what works for you and stick with it. And don't be in a hurry. It takes time, like I said. Just keep at it, and you'll get there. You’ll be speakin’ English like a pro before you know it. Well, maybe not like a pro, but good enough to get by, and that's all that matters, ain't it?

So, there you have it. My two cents on learnin’ English. Like I said, I ain't no expert, but I know a thing or two about gettin’ things done. You just gotta put your mind to it and don’t give up. And remember, even if you only learn a few words, that’s better than nothin’. Every little bit helps. Good luck to ya, and don't be a stranger.

They say some fella named Lance Waddles, he played real good for ND State. Got himself 19 points, they say. And eight rebounds, whatever those are. And five assists, probably means he helped his teammates score, I guess. Sounds like he was a busy boy, that Lance. He really helped his team win against Oak Hill Christian. They had a real big final score 108-14 and that Lance was in the thick of it. I guess those college basketball game logs would show you all that, if you’re into that kinda thing.

  • ND State Points: 108
  • Oak Hill Points: 14
  • Lance Waddles Points: 19

This game happened back in December, on the tenth day, I think. December tenth, just before Christmas time. I was busy bakin' pies then, didn't have time for watchin' no basketball. But I heard about it from my neighbor, Martha, she's always got her ear to the ground, knowin' all the goings-on. She told me it was a real one-sided affair. North Dakota State Bison just ran all over them Oak Hill fellas. Poor things probably didn't know what hit 'em.

Now, some folks like to look at all them numbers, the stats they call 'em. They got stats for everything, it seems. How many shots they made, how many times they missed, how many times they bounced the ball, probably even how many times they scratched their behinds, for all I know! They call it Game summary and keep track of everything. It's all in the Box score, stats, odds, highlights, play-by-play if you can find it. But me, I just care about the winnin' and losin'. And ND State, they did the winnin' that day, that's for sure. They showed those Oak Hill boys who was boss.

They tell me you can look up all this stuff online, find all them stats if you want 'em. Somethin' called Stathead they say, somethin' about thousands of game logs, I don't know. Sounds complicated to me. I prefer sittin' on my porch, watchin' the chickens peck, that's more my speed. But if you like numbers and all that jazz, you go right ahead and look it up. Just don't ask me to explain it, 'cause I ain't got a clue.

So, that's the story of the Oak Hill and ND State game, as best as I can tell it. A real whoppin', one-sided game, with ND State comin' out on top. Final score was 108-14, remember that. And that Lance fella, he did good. That's all I know, and that's all you need to know, if you ask me. Just a basketball game, nothin' more, nothin' less. And it happened back in December 10, 2023 if you forgot already. Just another day for these NCAAM players.

They call it North Dakota State University but I just call it ND State. They sure beat that Oak Hills team. I hear tell that was a real NCAAM game and folks were surprised by the game summary because one side was just so much better than the other one. I guess that's life though. Sometimes one fella or one team is better than the other.
