1984Echoes

MSU goalie Trey Augustine, very highly regarded 2nd round selected goalie. I'm interested in seeing how Bicker develops. I have him as a dark horse riser. Lots of speed.

Compher's been spectacular... for what the Red Wings wanted out of him. But someone else will just have to step up (Copp?) and, by adding Kane tonight, maybe we're at par, at least for this game.

But that was the Randy Smith rebuild. The Dave Dombrowski rebuild went, just a little... better.

Tyler Mattison is the guy to keep an eye on IMO... Maybe not in 2024, but moreso in 2025...

And/or a WHIP of less than 1.0. A high K-Rate and a low-WHIP does it for me... Although Harris has me now looking at K-BB ratio as well...

This was the last year to hope for lottery luck. Or at least we hope it is, for quite awhile. So we shoulda/ woulda been hoping to move up significantly in this draft and not care about next year's draft. Even if we don't make the playoffs... we should be better next year (just from health and bounce back seasons alone... as well as reinforcements from the minors...). If we end up in the 15th or 18th or whatever spot... I'm not really going to worry or care about next year's "lottery". This was the year. IMO. But it's already a done deal at the 11th spot so, I'm good with whatever we can get from that spot...

Holmes losing a draft pick that he could have turned into a player better than Chase Young.

Brodric Martin... It's time to step UP!!!

I did that on purpose... 😉

Just shoot me. Well, not me... you. 😉

I think that's what I was thinking of...

My Mom annoys me every year by putting up all her Christmas decorations, including about 300 Santa's (dolls, wood, wall hangings, brass, etc., etc.)... BEFORE Thanksgiving. "C'mon mom, could you just WAIT until after Thanksgiving, and THEN put all this up...? Please?"

Second Universe. 😉

430 Military Promotions he was ****ing with. Benedict Arnold MF'er.

Party is... ON!!!

But also... If you wanted to emphasize neuroscientists only... They'll have the same studies. But also... It won't be only them benefiting. It will be psychologists, behavioral therapists, speech therapists (especially after a brain injury), neurosurgeons... as well as those neuroscientists... I'm just sayin'...

They ARE brain experts. Yes, neuroscientists are also brain experts. But do you believe psychologists, especially RESEARCH psychologists... have NOT studied encephelograms, MRI's, or any other brain study on neural activity, neural net patterns, speech and memory sections of the brain, or even conducted those tests or studies themselves, in order to study their OWN field and all of the issues, idiosyncrasies, etc... of how the human mind works? I mean, seriously... think about that for a sec... (Sorry about the all-caps... but I'm still emphasizing key words or key issues, as is my habit...).

That's a good plan. I like it.

Yes, I have done this. The science fiction novel I've worked on the most? "The Sins of Eden". Eden, as in the Planet Eden.

What am I thinking?!?! FULL DISCLOSURE: One of my "prospective" novels is "The History of God". I believe I introduced at least a couple of the "novel-pertinent" concepts in this thread... From an Atheist perspective, of course...

PS: I don't HAVE any all-caps or exclamation points in those writings!!! So maybe I should ADD them??? 😉

😄 👍 😉

Well... An Org might still hold onto some hope that he can improve. Keep White as the #2 or sign a better guy and see if they can "salvage" Wilson through coaching. Or at least they may have been hoping... I don't disagree with moving him... probably would have been better.

PS: I'm a CPA, not a writer... But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...

I believe I have some very interesting sci-fi concepts, and have outlined at least 3 different conceptual novels. And I have written out some... But the actual WRITING has proven difficult for me. Primarily the dialogue between characters. Much too wooden.
