  1. So I've known that my work was going to land me at the Final of the Club World Cup for awhile. I didn't even want to talk about the possibility of Chelsea making it there for fear of jinxing things. I know this cup is fledgling at best, but I'm glad it exists as this will be my first opportunity to cheer the boys on in person. I know we will be underdogs to whoever wins today, but I'm hoping the fact that it's a final between two top flight Euro clubs will at least draw a respectable crowd for a good match day experience. BTW, I'm totally using this as justification for buying one of our 2025 away shirts. I don't think anyone has mentioned those yet on this thread, but they might be my favorite away shirt since I started following the club ~12 years ago.
  2. And again! Let's go you Blues!!!!
  3. Welcome to Chelsea Joāo Pedro! You're gonna fit in just fine if you keep scoring top shelf goals like your first one.
  4. The only thing frustrating about silent commits is that people still talk about them. They have always meant and will always mean exactly fuck all.
  5. Gary Robinson runs the pro shop at Highland lanes and those guys know their shit. He’s got several dudes trained up really well. Tony or Ramon also do a great job if Gary isn’t working, but Gary is there much more often than not.
  6. Special is too strong of a word. I should have put boutique exclusive in quotes, as I think it’s probably just a slight derivation from what’s widely available through any AD retail shop. But it gives them something they can claim is unique. It has a forest green dial that I had a hard time capturing with my iPhone camera. Here’s their image: It also came with the green rubberized strap and then they threw in the calf strap that is in my original picture. It’s a standard Luminor at the end of the day. I know the movement isn’t done in house and Panerai tends to be shit on by the elite watch enthusiasts, but I’ve always loved the ID and I’m happy to have it as a more casual option.
  7. Picked this up today. Boutique exclusive in Barcelona.
  8. Michael Williams anyone? While not on the level of most mentioned so far, his HS tape was reel after reel of hit sticks. I was positive he was destined for greatness.
  9. Call me crazy, but I prefer my Basketball Recruiting thread to have more updates on.....recruiting.
  10. 1924 and KoK taste nothing alike. I am frankly befuddled by the love for 1924. I got one of the first batch of bottles and thought it was absolutely nothing to write home about. Isn't it essentially just a rebranded Early Times?
  11. That makes more sense then. For me, it's a bit apples and oranges to compare the experience at Willet and the experiences at BBC. And different people will come away with different thoughts about which one is better based on their own preferences. The main takeaway is that you should do them both.
  12. Tell me you've never been to Bardstown Bourbon Company without telling me you've never been to Bardstown Bourbon Company. The bar at Willet is excellent, but you're doing it all wrong if you aren't making time for BBC. The restaurant and the whiskey library tasting experience should not be missed.
  13. Are our pets’ heads falling off or not?
  14. He was good, but ultimately not good enough. An important player in changing the trend line of the program, and he left it all out on field. Hook 'Em Quinn.
  15. You're being a massive cunt.
  16. I've been vocally critical of Quinn since he came back from the injury, but a lot of the these comments are fucking pathetic. Quinn was the reason we were even in that game. That was a really good D and they won a healthy majority of the 1 on 1 battles. You hang this loss around Sark's neck for going completely brain dead at the 1. Quinn was a flawed player but he left everything on the field tonight.
  17. And that’s on Sark, so we’re clear. That 2nd down call was an all time terrible call. Just atrocious.
  18. And that’s how it ends. Tragic.
  19. Game on the line Quinn has entered the chat.
  20. That third down throw sailed because they managed to get pressure despite rushing 3. I think Cam got beat inside and there was no way to step into it.
  21. Good job seeing the pressure and knowing he had to go hot. He’s been far from perfect, but we’re in the fight despite the fact that we’re generally doing a shit job of beating the guy across from us on most plays.
  22. Time to give up on that idea. Arch hasn’t seen meaningful live action in 3 months. It’s not going to happen here.
  23. I know nothing about our basketball NIL but I can't imagine the money wouldn't be there if/when needed. But the people providing it want to feel like the ROI will be there, and I don't think RT inspires confidence that it will be.
  24. You are trivializing that season to suit your narrative by focusing on how it ended. Terry took over before conference play, held the team together, won the Big 12 tourney (emphatically), and had the deepest tourney run we'd had in 15 years. And every player on that team stumped for him to get the job, iirc. For the record, I had real reservations that he would be able to sustain that performance, as did many others. There was no home run option out there, which meant that every possible hire carried a level of risk.
