It was the Wu-Tang Clan performance at halftime. Power of The Wu.

Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nothing to fu*k with.

@PackWrestle I missed his championship year but saw him AA the next year in Princeton.
The confidence and determination level were off the charts.

THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME

he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying.

then projects them onto his ceiling in real time

when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination

pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible

but he didn't stop at planes

it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time

so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO

there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter

vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software

@BizNasty2point0 she was just kidding about your nose.

@Mike_Ferrin your work on the ACC Tourney can only be described as Top Notch.
I don’t know how you have any voice left.
Thanks!

Paul Rudd and Adam Scott recreated the BOSOM BUDDIES sitcom intro just for fun and the attention to detail is insane 😂

@MLSIV @ShaneSparksBTN @ARobles125 1980. I was in attendance the next year when Darryl lost in the finals to Jim Gibbons.
Yep, we are old.

[Grillmaestro @grillmaestro]

@ShaneSparksBTN @ARobles125 First NCAA champ I saw on film was Montclair State’s Ken Mallory 1978 at 134 lbs. @PackWrestle camp had the highlight film and showed it every summer for years. The spinning takedown he employed was crazy!
I need to find video of that.

[Grillmaestro @grillmaestro]

@ShaneSparksBTN @ARobles125 Saw Gene Mills of Syracuse completely dominate 118lbs in Princeton I think in 1981.

45 years ago today, Yale's Ron Darling & St. John's Frank Viola matched up in the greatest college pitching duel ever.

Both starters made it through 11 scoreless innings.

Darling didn't allow a hit until the 12th inning but St. Johns won 1-0.

This moment saved the Mets season

[Grillmaestro @grillmaestro]

@PackWrestle Sad to hear. I attended his Wolfpack wrestling camp 5 years in a row late 70s early 80s.
I will miss him.

[Grillmaestro @grillmaestro]

@TuffyTalkNow Yeah, I just don't understand how the ref and judges knew exactly when Mason passed out. They took @isaactrumble_ 's tilt away and removed the fall.

It looked to me like Mason was kind of choking himself out in an effort to keep from being turned. Maybe a stretch?

[Howie Rose @HowieRose]

Watch the crowd shot as Willie rounds the bases. Note the gentleman in the raincoat who looks old enough to have seen Mays play as a New York Giant and the unbridled joy seeing him homer as a Met. That incredible passion speaks to the impact of the great Willie Mays in New York.

I kept this story in my pocket for a long time....

In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day.

Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys.

My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on.
We didn't win.

19 consecutive losing seasons.

2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive.

After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over.

"My mom wants to talk to you."

We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons.

She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up.

Roberto Jr. translated.

"My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy."

She was staring right at me.

Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth:
"I promise you, Vera. That won't happen."

Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it."

I said, "I hope I can keep it too."

I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it.

The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20.

On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field.

And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life.

The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug.

Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them.
