Two months ago I had a stent put in (to my Circumflex artery), after experiencing chest pain for months. I feel great now, and I wonder why regular angiograms aren’t scheduled, like colonoscopies, for everyone over 50.

Anyway, it got me wondering what kinds of medical procedures folks on this board have had done, if anyone cares to share (could save a life).

I also had a microdiscectomy back in 1997 (removed a portion of my L4/5 disc that kept rupturing). Between that and the stent, the two most game-changing procedures I’ve had in my life. Both have allowed me to remain active in sports (at age 64) while living pain free.

Did this kid sign yet?

Here’s a quick 12-team playoff format refresher: The top four seeds will be given to the top four conference champions. The final eight teams in the field will include the fifth Power 5 conference champion and the highest-ranked Group of 5 champion, along with six at-large teams.

That I would take in a second.

Why is this beautiful space empty every game? They cram people in the north and south party decks that have horrific site lines for various Olympic sport fundraisers but the beautiful space in the middle of the student section is vacant every game…seems like opportunity lost.

Anyone know the winning numbers?

The Yankees' outfielder,known as Mickey Mantle's caddie for the many times he went into a game late to save Mickey's legs,has passed.
In that caddie role,he became a historical footnote by hitting the latest home run ever-in the 22nd inning of the Yanks 9-7 win at Detroit on June 24,1962.

It was cold and windy out at Rutgers Football practice on Wednesday. Here are some highlighted notes from talking with head coach Greg Schiano afterwards.

-- In regards to Nunzio Campanile taking over interim offensive coordinator duties, Schiano was asked about how he’s been off the field. Schiano said he’s a “seasoned coach”. Being in charge is nothing new and he’s stepped right in. Tough circumstances, but he’s done a heckuva job.

-- Nothing new regarding next year’s OC when asked about continuity preference.

-- I asked about Taj Harris’ social media post from this morning and if Harris could be back with the team next year. Schiano said he didn’t see the post and answered it with that angle.

-- Injury updates on Ireland Brown (not sure), Victor Konopka (likely won’t be back this season), and Deion Jennings (not sure). We forgot to ask about Rene Konga.

-- Schiano said oftentimes he will talk with and ask questions to Adam Korsak. “Adam is different. I haven't seen a lot of him in my years of coaching. He’s a special guy.”

-- Kyle Monangai had a good day running the ball against Michigan State, and Schiano said he hopes that can continue. Also noted that the level of defense from Penn State will be much tougher.

“He was knocking some people around and played like a real Big Ten back.”

-- Schiano’s thoughts on Senior Day:

“It’s always a sad day for me. You have kids that spilled everything and worked hard. We’re getting near the end. It’s exciting because who knows what life will be like for them next. Some will play football and others will move on to the real world. We won’t get to see them every day in a short time. It’s always tough to have the ceremony and handing off flowers and then all of sudden you have to knock somewhere in their mouth. That’s peculiar. I go with it because that’s how we roll and we’ve always done it. They do deserve to be recognized of course.”

Postponed announcement till tomorrow. Could he be visiting a local school today?

On BTN at 9 this morning

No more Bo Boroski, Tim Higgins’ successor. Predict first game we blame the officiating. I’m guessing the ref killing on this message board begins at Miami.
