I don’t think the scholarship will be announced today, they are still working on the details.

Thank you Redhawk11 for sharing the heartfelt story of your friendship with Dick. It’s truly special and rare for someone younger to forge such a meaningful bond with an elder. Your kindness undoubtedly made a profound impact on Dick’s life, and it’s clear he cherished you as much as you cherished him. As a fellow Miamian, I’m incredibly proud to call you a part of our community. Sports fandom is about more than just the game, it’s about the camaraderie and connections like yours that make it truly special. Looking forward to meeting you and buying you a beverage, meal or both.

I think Dick would be proud of the seasons that our men’s and women’s basketball teams have had so far (and will have from here).

Could it be that he’s got something to do with this??? :face_with_monocle: I wouldn’t go so far as to say he does…but I also wouldn’t say he doesn’t. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes - I think about him at every home game. Dick, me & my wife had 3 seats together. Because he knew some people to the left of us, he would sit in one of my seats and we would use his. It is very strange every game this season to be sitting in the seat that he used.

I honestly believe that Dick is sending a message to all his friends in this life to let us all know he loves us and wants us to enjoy the happiness of this season. I don’t know that it’s a spiritually based belief, but I think God would allow it!

He’s basically saying “dudes, you’re playing with the house’s money this season so enjoy the ride.”

Nonsense. There’s a little gambler in all of us. We don’t realize he or she is there but they are. I was getting a haircut and forgot to put extra coins in the meter as it expired. I was five minutes late but the meter maid hadn’t gotten there in time. I gambled and won. I forgot to fill up my tank on the way back from the airport. I have no idea how long I have until the fuel tank runs out but I decided to test it and made it to an exit with gas by my house. I forgot to put extra balls in my golf bag and played 18 with 2 balls. We gamble all the time in little ways every day. I’m pretty sure a casino could use this as a marketing insight.
