TCDD was a contaminant in Agent Orange that caused a lot misery to a lot of vets. Probably the nastiest of all the dioxins, which as a class are awful to begin with. Very persistent in the environment, it supercharges other carcinogens.
Too often it has been "Ridin' the Storm Out".

With all of the changes to sports with NIL and the transfer portal and just Illinois sports teams in general, I think the appropriate REO Speedwagon song for Illinois sports teams should be, "Riding The Storm Out".

I’d Rather not tell you! lol
Kid was a pretty highly regarded bball recruit coming out of HS, who got hurt his senior year (back I believe but might have been a knee). Barely played for Oregon State his freshman year and was a shadow of his former self (or rankings were way off). Looked like he could barely move. Transferred to Idaho I think and I think it was there that at some point he switched to football and finally ended up at WSU.
Not crazy that someone would take a flyer on him, but a P6 school? Hope he does well. We had high hopes for him on the Beavs. Damn injury.

I had a lot of friends who suffered from it after they got back home...................Dark time in American history.........The 60's had
the JFK assassination ...........escalation of the war..................Armstrong on the moon...............free love generation............The Beatles and all the exciting music that came after..........playing with 4 of my buddies in a rock & roll band for 5 years.....my 67 GTO that turned into my 69 Camaro pace car ragtop.............etc etc
I look back on that period of my life and shake my head that I survived it all.........I really really do.......

Agree that there is a risk of the business model not working. BUT, the issue has always been that the players were SCREWED! Simply put, they received way less than they should of, and got in trouble if they accepted $20 from someone. So I would argue no system like that should ever remain. And if college basketball is a shell of its former self because of that, then so be it.
However, I think this will improve the game. For those who say they don't have a connection to the player, I say "call me again in November," as I think they will be talking about Amani and Domask, and not care at all that some come as freshman and some as seniors.

I am amazed I am still here as well, lol. Flat out luck on more that one occasion. I was more 70's, it was a tumultuous time. One good thing is I managed to destroy all pictures of me in bell bottoms
I’m 100% behind either of the first 2. F’n love REO

Thanks, my source at the DIA retired in December so my info will be sketchy from here on out plus I'm getting ready to start a new chapter in my life in D.C. Mom and I are chasing 2 proud Illini grads and their gf's there. Should be fun times. Go Illini from the Nation's Capitol!!
In life, we are all graded on a curve and, somehow, THIS is the best post in this thread. Begrudgingly, I present to you, my good sir, the POTD trophy for your exquisite work in the Loyalty Board production of, “my dad went to Illinois state.”
