Univ. of South Carolina Women’s Basketball Team Refuses to Play Against BYU After Racial Slur

After a Brigham Young University (BYU) fan allegedly yelled racial slurs at a Duke volleyball player during an August match, the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team is backing out of a home-and-home series with BYU scheduled to take place over the ‘22-’23 and ‘23-’24 seasons. The first game was supposed to open this season. South Carolina’s women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley and the school’s athletics director Ray Tanner released statements explaining their decision to skip facing off against the Utah university.

“As a head coach, my job is to do what’s best for my players and staff,” Staley said. “The incident at BYU has led me to reevaluate our home-and-home, and I don’t feel that this is the right time for us to engage in this series.” Tanner added, “Dawn and I have discussed her thoughts on the situation. I support Dawn and all of our coaches in their right to schedule games and opponents that are best for their teams.”

I mean, who cares if it happened or not? It feels like it happened, so it might as well have happened.

 

Woman, 19, gives birth to twins by TWO fathers after having sex with both of them on same day

This can happen in two ways.

The first is if a woman has sex with two different men prior to her ovulation and the sperm are present in the fallopian tubes when two eggs are released.

It can also happen if a woman has sex with two different men after ovulating and the sperm are then able to fertilise two eggs.

The unnamed woman from southwest Goiás gave birth to twin boys.

“I was surprised by the results. I didn’t know this could happen. They are very similar,” she added.

While the two boys are similar, she said doubts had arisen about their paternity.

Because of this, when they were eight months old, she took paternity tests for them – with the result being positive for just one child.

It was then that she remembered she’d had sex with two men on the same day.

The mum now says one of the fathers acts as dad to both boys – and had made this official on record.

She said he takes care of them both and gives her all the support she needs.

The rare medical phenomenon is also common in other animals, like dogs, cats and cows.

She should be given a honorary PhD in Ho Studies.

The Hold Steady
“Stuck Between Stations”
Boys and Girls in America (2006)

There are nights when I think Sal Paradise was right.
Boys and girls in America have such a sad time together.
Sucking off each other at the demonstrations
Making sure their makeup’s straight
Crushing one another with colossal expectations.
Dependent, undisciplined, and sleeping late.

She was a really cool kisser and she wasn’t all that strict of a Christian.
She was a damn good dancer but she wasn’t all that great of a girlfriend.
She likes the warm feeling but she’s tired of all the dehydration.
Most nights are crystal clear
But tonight it’s like it’s stuck between stations
On the radio.

The devil and John Berryman
Took a walk together.
They ended up on Washington
Talking to the river.
He said ‘I’ve surrounded myself with doctors
And deep thinkers.
But big heads with soft bodies
Make for lousy lovers.’
There was that night that we thought John Berryman could fly.
But he didn’t
So he died.

She said ‘You’re pretty good with words
But words won’t save your life.’
And they didn’t.
So he died.

He was drunk and exhausted but he was critically acclaimed and respected.
He loved the Golden Gophers but he hated all the drawn out winters.
He likes the warm feeling but he’s tired of all the dehydration
Most nights were kind of fuzzy
But that last night he had total retention.

These Twin Cities kisses
Sound like clicks and hisses.
We all tumbled down and
Drowned in the Mississippi River.

We drink, we dry up,
Then we crumble into dust

We go out and we corrode
And now we’re covered up in rust.
