    Just to refresh my memory I went back and looked and that FSU team had 5 guys who made the NBA on it.

    I try to find positives in everything. Both my kids had to come home from college and traffic was awesome.

    I'm just sayin' we have a thread for that stuff. I started one today for just recollecting the "where were you when" type of stuff.

    Not really looking for debate in that thread.

    Thanks for opening a wound lol…

    One of the most idiotic times in Human History!

    Ruined so many kids dreams on the field for no reason.

    twilight zone episode: lockdowns, no traffic, working from home for some. Grocery stores had an apocalyptic vibe, no TP to buy ( that was one of the weirdest parts of the whole thing).

    We drank a lot and all summer I didn't shower. Just jumped in the pool with a bar of soap and shampoo.

    That’s actually hilarious.

    What are they even saying there, they “would have been” in the NCAA tournament field? There wasn’t even a selection Sunday.

    And doctors offices were not…

    Truly wild times.

    Will never forget sitting with our friend and Oral Surgeon on March 23 in his office discussing what an “emergency” was. While discussing a file comes in with the results from a patient my wife had sent for a consult about a month prior due to a suspicious spot during a new patient exam. Cancer positive. That patient would not have allowed their visit to our office for almost 60 days had it been a month later.

    Pure stupidity!
