Ahead of Michigan State, all time! Love it! Grok: Florida Gators now a top-10 basketball program all time
The greatness of Billy Donovan. Would the pre-Donovan era for UF hoops have rated among the top-100 basketball programs?
Wut? You mean it's a bot account that posts from algorithms? Or is this tongue-in-cheek. Sorry, I've been slow to the grid lately, so I can't be counted on to know things.
It’s an actual AI, you can ask it questions, ask for help on things etc. similar to the AI that pops up now when you do a google search. But Grok is allegedly cheekier. When I asked it whether we were a top 10 program it spit back about four pages of history, pros (titles), cons (all time win percentages) etc. When I asked it what the best hike in minnesota was: The "best" hike in Minnesota depends on your preferences—scenery, difficulty, length, and location all play a role. However, the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT) is widely regarded as the crown jewel of Minnesota’s hiking trails due to its stunning views, diverse terrain, and extensive length. Here’s why it stands out, along with other top contenders based on different needs: Superior Hiking Trail (SHT) Location: North Shore of Lake Superior, from Duluth to the Canadian border. Length: 310 miles total, with numerous shorter segments for day hikes (5-15 miles). Difficulty: Varies from easy to challenging, with some sections involving significant elevation gain (up to 34,530 ft total). Highlights: Breathtaking views of Lake Superior, pebble beaches, cliffs, and forested ravines. Passes through iconic state parks like Gooseberry Falls, Tettegouche, and Judge C.R. Magney. Features waterfalls, rivers, and the Sawtooth Mountains. Ideal for fall foliage (late September to early November) or spring hikes to avoid mosquitoes. Day hike options include the 6.8-mile Oberg Mountain Loop (moderate, with panoramic lake views) or the 2-mile Devil’s Kettle Trail in Judge C.R. Magney State Park (easy, featuring a unique split waterfall). Why It’s the Best: Its length and variety cater to all hikers, from casual day-trippers to thru-hikers. The trail’s proximity to Lake Superior and its mix of ecosystems—north woods, cliffs, and rivers—make it uniquely scenic. It’s also well-maintained with access points for shorter hikes.
Roger that, thanks. I love that you asked about the MN hike. The SHT is basically everywhere from just below Duluth to Canada. I've not kept track, but we have probably been on more than a dozen stretches of the trail. I had a student who was dropped off up north and hiked back to Duluth. I think it was a 3-4 day hike for him. I've hiked most of those listed there and the Oberg loop was one of our firsts, with great overhead views of Superior and interior lakes. Here's the interior lake. . .
John Lotz tried. Bless his soul. I won't attempt to explain Norm Sloan/Monte Towe. But yeah, The 'Dome is the house that Billy built. Just like the Swamp is what Spurrier built. Graves is the football equivalent to Lotz and Pell is more like Sloan. I will just leave it there...
Not so much. Lotz 83-88 at Florida with a 46-66 SEC record. Graves 70-31 at Florida with a 38-19 conference record.
Had a two hour break between classes and knew Sloan / Towe, UF were practicing, 81 if I remember correctly, in the O-Dome / Ronnie Williams bunch, sat down with my back pack, watched maybe 2 - 3 minutes and Sloan blows the whistle. I was the only observer in the stands as I recall. Silence, then.............. He yells, who are you? I replied, a student thought I would watch practice, he yelled, get the hell out, this practice is closed. I immediately left but in retrospect I should have said, I'm here at the request of Bobby Knight and Indiana. LOL
It might be the best we have at this time . . . but it still can't program (code) a simple NinjaTrader indicator for me! LOL!
