  1. Not trusting any "breaking news" on this date.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Just hired away Wazzu's AD. Absolutely cold-blooded. Pete Thamel: Washington to hire AD Pat Chun from Washington St.
  5. 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.
  6. Why are we letting Knecht get the ball with no pressure? Fuck.
  7. Nice to see all that tournament experience from last year coming in handy. This is Shakaball all over again on offense. Too talented to score just 19 in a half...
  8. So A&M has played Georgia ONCE in the 14 years they've been in the SEC, and they get to dodge both UGA and Bama in back-to-back years. Terrific. This absolutely sucks. At least move to a 9-game schedule.

  10. http://bracketmatrix.com/matrix_2011.htm We had an average 2.6 seed across all the projections that year, and got stuck with the worst 4-seed. Still can't believe that happened. Florida jumping us due to Chandler Parsons' star power was bad enough, but Syracuse and Purdue as well? Utter BS.
  11. Our history as a No. 7 seed isn't great regardless.
  12. Having to face Virginia is itself a screw-job. UVA should have been left out.
  13. Pitt got robbed pretty hard. Should have been them over Virginia
