  1. Taking a page out of TexAgs' book with the 'leave Britney Terry Joseph alone' paragraph. Although it is interesting Gideon isn't getting as much heat on OTF. Oh well. We'll see how bad things get in the secondary this fall. The proof is in the pudding.
  2. Saito is a proponent of "degrowth", which to put it delicately, is the modern-day equivalent of Malthusianism. Even Marx supported communism because he thought it would accelerate growth, not stop it. https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/people-are-realizing-that-degrowth Anyway, I recently picked up Lords of the Deccan at a book sale. It's a compelling and engaging history of South India, covering the 6th century to the 12th century. During this time period, South India was primarily ruled by three dynasties - the Chalukya dynasty of Badami, the Rashtrakuta dynasty of Manyakheta, and the Chola dynasty of Thanjavur - interspersed by periods of war and conflict between many smaller kingdoms.
  3. Zero Nebraska players drafted, for the second time in five years 😁 https://omaha.com/sports/huskers/football/no-nebraska-football-players-were-selected-in-nfl-draft-for-second-time-in-5-years/article_acad72d3-86e7-52e6-ac24-fdfb2696ff51.html
  4. The 1956 USC vs. Texas game made Texas a much more visible national flashpoint for integration issues. https://www.keranews.org/2018-09-14/in-1956-ut-football-didnt-want-to-desegregate-so-this-usc-fullback-did-it-for-them
  5. Sanders is no longer the consensus TE2 in the draft... combine performance hurt him badly.
  6. Steve Wiltfong: Ohio State continues to set the pace with one of the nation's best wide receivers
  7. Man they just cannot find a good picture of Elko 😄
  8. Justin Wells: Big Recruiting Month of April for Texas Football
  9. Not trusting any "breaking news" on this date.
  10. Yeah, RGM has a location right down the road in Mount Joy, near the old Hamilton Watch Factory that closed down when Hamilton shifted operations to Switzerland. The museum has some cool exhibits, including a large model of a watch movement for kids to play around with, an exhibit on old Japanese pocket watches (in traditional Asian watches the dial rotates as well as the hands), and an exhibit on James Bond's watches that was unfortunately undergoing renovation when we were there. They also have a large pocket watch collection, as well as a fully reproduced 19th century watch shop. They also used to have an intricate handmade wooden clock, but some idiot destroyed it.
  11. Recommend the Luminox Navy Seal. Analog quartz, black with durable Carbonox bezel and case, Tritium hands and markers so it's always illuminated, 100m of water resistance (200m on the pricier models), and unidirectional rotating diver's bezel. Comes in different variants and prices (the one below is $230 and change on Amazon). Only thing is they're usually black.
  12. Just hired away Wazzu's AD. Absolutely cold-blooded. Pete Thamel: Washington to hire AD Pat Chun from Washington St.
  13. Recently visited the National Watch and Clock Museum in Lancaster, PA. I definitely recommend a visit to anyone who's in the area. They have a very large exhibit on vintage clocks, pocket watches and wristwatches, with a specific focus on Hamilton and RGM Watches since both were founded in Lancaster. Took some nice photos while I was there. Starting off with the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical I wore to the museum (it felt appropriate). Rest of the photos are spoiler-ed below.
  14. Why are we letting Knecht get the ball with no pressure? Fuck.
