St. Augustine is the Patron Saint of brewers, printers, theologians, and sore eyes
Augustine led many clergy under his authority to free their slaves "as an act of piety".
Augustine took the view that, if a literal interpretation contradicts science and our God-given
reason, the Biblical text should be interpreted metaphorically. While each passage of Scripture
has a literal sense, this "literal sense" does not always mean that the Scriptures are mere
history; at times they are rather an extended metaphor.

Diva - Carman Crew (Diebler and Craft's team) plays tonight (Thursday) at 7:00 on ESPN.
I note that this is the three-year anniversary of a handful of us transitioning from The Huddle to Yappi. Close to 600,000 views - not bad considering our decrepitness.
Carmen's Crew is on to the TBT semifinals after defeating last year's runner-up Eberlein Drive. Carmen's Crew will face the winner of Friday night's quarterfinal between new tournament entrant Loyalty is Love (led by GM DeMarcus "Boogie" Cousins) and the 4x defending tournament champions Overseas Elite. On the other side of the bracket, the Golden Eagles (mostly Marquette Alumni) won their quarterfinal game against the Jackson TN Underdawgs tonight. The Golden Eagles will face the winner of Friday night's quarterfinal between Team Hines and Brother Love. 6 of the 8 quarterfinalists were #1 seeds in their respective regionals. Of the two non-#1 seeds, Brother Love was a #3 seed, and Jackson TN Underdawgs were a #8 seed.Bevo - Thanks for the heads-up about the Carmen Crew and our anniversary. Happy Anniversary to all the AARPsters, old and new, for years of longevity. It's amazing that we have continued on this thread for almost 18 years with next to no problems. It's a real tribute to everyone who has posted and accepted others' opinions respectfully. In this day and age, that is remarkable. Below is some info from August 1, 2016.
"Most of you are already familiar with this information, but the "Doubledribble, the AARP Boys and Diva" thread originated in December, 2001. Approximately 9700 posts were made before J.J. Huddle switched over to its new format in November, 2009. Since that time,approximately 2900 posts have been made. That would add up to over 12,600 posts since 2001. The AARP thread has been one of "The Huddle's" longest continuously running discussion threads."
With 7,557 posts since August 1, 2016, we are up to over 20,000 total posts (J.J. Huddle and Yappi). All I can say is let's "keep the ballin'" and kudos to all. ?
ROCK ON!

TBT is down to 4 teams:Mr. Slippery - Thanks for the update and the rosters. It's much appreciated! ?
ROCK ON!
TBT is down to 4 teams:
4x defending champion Overseas Elite will play Carmen's Crew Sunday at Noon while Hines will play Golden Eagles Sunday at 2pm. The championship game is scheduled for Tuesday at 9pm.
I love Japanese traditional music. So peaceful. I would love to go there someday.
Great ball game by Carmen's Crew in TBT by handing Overseas Elite its first-ever loss, 71-66. It's still fun to watch the former Buckeyes, especially Aaron Craft. David Lighty was great down the stretch and Jeff Gibbs (Otterbein) was really something. I had heard of Gibbs, but had never seen him play. At 6'2" and 39-years old, Gibbs is amazing. I didn't realize that he was an All-America player in both football and basketball while at Otterbein. Wishing the Crew the best of luck in the championship.
ROCK ON!
Diva - put on your massage music tomorrow night and watch Carmen's Crew in the championship game. It's on at 9:00 (don't know if that's 8:00 here).
Also, if you go to Cleveland.com and scroll to the Sports' section there is a great picture of the team featuring our Northwestern Ohio guys. John was one of four double digit scorers yesterday. And, speaking of Dave Lighty, David played a great game and led the Crew to victory. Craft had seven steals.
Another side note: when the tourney started at Capital, ThadM. was courtside and was interviewed. He said he was there to see his guys and would not rule out coaching again. Thad left OSU with a very gold plated parachute and is apparently itching to get back into things.
By comparison, former coach, Jim O'brien, (who I also thought did a great job - prior circumstances not withstanding) was coaching at a D 3 or NAIA school, I believe around Boston or in the New England area. Clean up on any of this.
Dang, I keep forgetting these are on. Somebody remind me to watch Tuesday night!!!!!!!
