    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    My first 'portable' was the size of a sewing machine and had a 300 baud modem. Pager goes off in the middle of the night, set up the portable, phone in coupler, dial up. Enter user id and password, watch 80 x24 paint, watch the next screen paint, log out, phone back on wall, drive 30 minutes...

    So true, the men's college game is at a crossroads. UConns portal grabs were mostly 4th and post-grad years. At larger schools too many freshman now transfer out at the slightest slight. At smaller schools, a player with an awesome year now transfers to a larger school The woman can make...
