Not long ago, Louisville's 2013 national championship in the college basketball world got vacated because of NCAA violations. In the record books, next to 2013 national champion, reads "Louisville (vacated)." This has also occurred with USC's 2004 college football title. I'm sorry, but this is stupid. It's documented that these games took place. The players played them. The coaches coached them. We watched them. To say otherwise is to call the world crazy. If the NCAA wants to place asterisks next to such violators in the record books, fine, but to pretend the games never took place is crazy in and of itself. Regardless, the winning coaches and players still have their championship rings and, most importantly, their memories of the title runs, and the NCAA can never take that away from them.
I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun
