UPenn president resigns. University stood to lose $100 million. Next? Harvard’s Claudine Gay?
X-37B: Pentagon’s super-secret drone to launch Sunday night on huge SpaceX Falcon.
Apple: watch for iPad sales. Link here.
Spotify’s CFO is out.
L4S: Faster internet? Maybe. And Apple involved. Link here.
Shohei Ohtani: signs for $700 million. LA Dodgers. Wow, there are times I wish I still lived at 605 Prospect Avenue, South Pasadena, California!!! Such an innocent time. Such exciting times. Wow, this brings back many memories. One of many links here. Ohtani comes up with innovative idea allowing LA to fill out its roster!! Shohei Ohtani rhymes with “show me the money.”
Football: holy mackerel — at the half, NDSU clobbering USD, 35 - 3. NDSU, unranked; USD, ranked #3. Could USD come back to win? All of a sudden, things are getting exciting! Nope, early 4th quarter, looks like a rout. Fargo to Missoula: 14 hours. Fargo to Billings: 8 hours. Don’t even think of an EV unless you want to make it a several-day trip. All of a sudden, the Montana game is huge next week. For newbies: Division I football.

Reminder: one today plus two = three Saturdays until Christmas. Christmas Eve, December 24, 2023. Saturday, December 23, 2023, is going to be huge, especially in the malls in southern California.
Great 1000-piece puzzle or still life painting:
Now back to college football. Three games today, including the three Dakota teams: UND, SDSU, and USD.
Last night:
My predictions: see comments -- hope I have this right -- if not see -- comments from reader ---
- top bracket: NDSU vs USD; winner (prediction): USD {Wrong! Huge NDSU win.}
- top bracket: Villanova vs SDUS; winner (prediction): SDSU
- bottom bracket. UAlbany vs Idaho -- winner (prediction (UAlbany)
- semis (prediction, updated): NDSU vs (2) Montana; winner (prediction): Montana
- semis (prediction: (5) UAlbany vs (1) SDSU; winner (prediction): SDSU
- Championship (prediction): Montana vs SDSU: winner (prediction) SDSU
Got the bracket wrong Bruce. The winner of NDSU (not UND) and South Dakota (USD) plays Montana in Missoula (due to Montana's higher seed)next weekend. The winner of the other two games today, my guess SDSU and Albany will play in the semis next weekend also. The winners of those two games will play in the championship in Frisco on January 7th (easy to remember since it's my birthday). Agree that South Dakota State will be very hard to beat, and is the odds-on favorite. Should be some good games today !!
