    Tim and the Gators WON a regional tournament in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2023, and 2024.

    This is our 17th straight tournament bid. 17th. 

    We made the championship finals in 2011, 2017, and 2023.

    If it’s not coaching, then we are truly lucky as hell.

    But better coaching than white, who has made at least the Supers every year he’s been a head coach, as a reason to win?

    Y’all are a posse full of stereotyping, bandwagon-jumping-on front runners incessantly pissing on my native state and if I didn’t love Surly, by Gawd I’d quit reading it every fucking day. My first  cousin was Walter Flowers, one of those Alabama Democrats who spoke up in his day and voted to impeach Tricky Dick. Tommy Tatertown will only continue to erode the image of Alabama each time he opens his mouth. He’ll make prople wish for George Wallace (a Democrat). To paraphrase Wallace,  think this when Tuberville takes the oath of office as guv of Alabama: “Stupidity then, stupidity now, stupidity fowevvah!”

    I don't recall a single military parade w/ tanks and shit in my lifetime.  And the 200th anniversary would've been in 1975, so not sure how you "incorporate" that into the bicentennial celebration. 

    It was a very long parwde

    Vaughn will jump at the opportunity, I imagine. His dad played there. Would be a good hire for them. O'Connor gives me Jimbo vibes, lightning in a bottle championship with worsening results since (2023 being an outlier). I hope he is the hire

    Wouldn’t Vaughn have been above earley in their rank choices last year?  Something change since then?

    Could be just mercenaries wanting to make a bag, but you'd think they'd wait until any of the final 8 teams finish their seasons and start reaching out

    Because at some point, these are also competitors who want to play for winners.  And Beth is a big loser.

    “All we need to win it all is you” sounds like a great point with these athletes that think they’re the greatest. 

  6. And with the pitch speed conversion charts, is the larger diameter and lower density of the softball a significant factor in how much it slows down in flight due to air resistance, over its shorter time of flight?

    a baseball loses like 5 mph from out of hand to the plate. (And some of the increase in baseball pitch speed is due to moving the measurement from near the plate to near the release point)

    Supposedly the ridgeline EV concept.

     

    Why do all these vehicles look like a Subaru brat on steroids

    Honda uses AI generated tires?

    oh not AI, it says psychoform which can lead you here

    which the guy did this in a CAD program in 2020.  Can’t tell if it was Honda commissioned or not, but it’s listed under “personal works” on his main page. 

  8. Was just out walking the dog and walked by a house that on the front porch had a b&w picture of a man in uniform WWII era, a much more modern picture of a young man in a marine dress, and in between them a tan pair of boots.

    Only sort of related - I drive a Ford. My daughter was in town recently, and one day we pulled up behind a Cybertruck with one of those "I got it before I knew he was a Nazi" bumper stickers. I laughed, and she said, "Yeah that's funny, but what would be really funny is if you got one of those stickers."

    Sharp kid.

    Fuck this shit.
    We need Danny Trejo to move here and run as Machete.
    You think I’m kidding. I’m not. The GQP redefined itself with a “celebrity.” We have to do the same. That’s the American attention economy at work.

    It forced people to play small ball and slappers were more prominent in those days. Used to be “get em on, get em over, get em in”

     

    Now every coaches like Earl Weaver and waits for the 3 run HR.

    Right, so make the field larger.   Pitchers pitching mid 70s, hitters hitting it back that hard and harder, but infielders still have to play 45 feet away to be able to field a ground ball and throw a lefty out. 
     

    I know it’s not baseball and shouldn’t be made to look more like baseball, but adjustments should be made. You’ve got corner infielders now wearing masks because the ball gets to them so fast.
