Sometimes opportunity rears it’s ugly head. Never know for sure. Things have worked out for Him. Regarding Doorman He has done His job with what we have. We struggled the last 4 weeks. Tough competition and 7,&,and 9 batting woes. Pitching also was not as good. Especially Arizona and that UCLA game that we will never forget. Cannot blame anyone but the players. Sometimes we have to blame those in charge. Ever read Abgry Beavers? Miserable. I quit angry beavs. Angry has lost it. you're saying he ever had it? Really, I guess he's okay on football, but not a sport I know much about, so that may not even be true. That last baseball thread was an absolute s%#tshow. Congrats to you, you tried talking sense to him, but he just doesn't want to know anything about baseball. |

Ole Miss just “trashed” their way to the final series. It’d be kind of cool if they won the whole thing. |

I remember another kid that pitched a complete game shutout against the hogs in Omaha. Abel only allowed two hits, though. Dylan DeLucia is Ole Miss' ace. DeLucia threw 7.2 innings of four-hit ball in game one against Auburn and threw today on four days' rest. I am curious, if they throw him on Monday, if necessary. I am betting that the Rebels are praying like crazy for rain on Saturday to give their staff a chance to rest up for Oklahoma. |

Ole Miss just “trashed” their way to the final series. Yeah, everyone who loses six of their nine final weekend series and goes 0-fer at their Conference Tournament should get a shot. Yep! Participation trophies and ribbons for everyone! Trash inclusion. Trash team. Trash continued argument. Hopefully, they beat Oklahoma. This Tournament has been trash. The fact that Ole Miss' coach took until April to realize that not only should Dylan DeLucia should be a starter at all, DeLucia should be his ace..... Trash! Even if Ole Miss wins out, the Rebels will still finish six games behind the 2007 Beavers. Trash! |

Why is the period outside of "Alternative Facts?" Did you learn to write in Europe? They are "Alternative Facts" inasmuch as they are correct facts. ag87 bennycat Judge Smails I have the distance as 2,343, which appears more correct than the distance numerator that I originally used. The face of the earth, i.e. the amount of earth that anyone can see at any given time, is measured by diameter, not circumference, approximately 7,917.5 miles. (It varies on where you measure, like ag87 quite correctly stated.) The distance across, not the distance around. (Also, no one has ever seen the one full face of the Earth, because you would have to be infinitely far away to see the full face of the Earth, but I will use the full diameter anyway, because it is easier mathematically.) 7,917.5 is also the true maximum distance from any point on Earth to the opposite side of the the Earth. The opposite side of the globe is only 7,917.5 miles away. My number is wrong, because I took a different number than miles as a crow would fly, but it is still almost 30% across the face of the Earth. That is different than saying something like "around the Earth," in which case I would quibble but your numbers would be more correct. Also the error in the denominator being bandied about by the other posters is that Charlottesville is 38° 1′ 48″ North and Oregon State is 44° 33′ 57″ North. The circumference of the Earth along 38° 1′ 48″ is only 19,440 miles. The circumference of the Earth along 44° 33′ 57″ is only 17,640 miles. That is to say that Earth rotates about its axis approximately 19,440 miles at Charlottesville and approximately 17,640 miles at Corvallis. I personally have often wondered whether the difference in speed of rotation would effect time dilation, but I am pretty sure that the Earth's orbital velocity probably more than washes out the delta. I am digressing. No. I intentionally said what I said, and everyone else is using the incorrect distance denominator, because they are intentionally or unintentionally obtuse.
"The face of the Earth" is a phrase. You can use the expression "on the face of the earth" to mean "in the whole world," when you are emphasizing a statement that you are making or making a very exaggerated statement. An example would be: No human being on the face of the earth could do anything worse than what he did. The phrase "the face of the Earth" carries that meaning when precided with a word like "from" or "on" but not "across." Here is a Washington Post article, which uses the term "Across the Face of the Earth" to carry a completely different meaning. In the Washington Post article, it means Earth's singular face, not the entirety of the Earth. |

Never seen , “face of the earth”, used as a distance across the visible area from a point in space. The phrase is older than space flight and has always referred to total surface area or volume of the earth. “He fell off the face of the earth” means they disappeared and can’t be found on the planet not that me moved to a different solid angle intersection with a planet from a specific origin point in space. I’ll give you 10 points for creative doubling down though wilky. Sounded smart but made no sense. It’s the old rgeorge double down. Can’t ever admit to being wrong. ![]()  |
