    @Js1 or others just as informed. I haven't been able to watch either match thus far, but obviously they went well. 

    Are y'all able to give a rundown on the biggest differences in terms of offensive/defensive strategy, or anything else notable, so far this season vs. last?

     

    1.) We're passing well.

    2.) Our defense, especially our blocking, is much improved. Our backrow defense is also better.

    Texas passed a 2.33, but Creighton passed a 2.44 and got swept. We didn’t serve aggressively at all, with only a few errors, and Creighton had a ton of first ball side out kills. But they also hit a ton of balls long and gave us free points. 

    With who we have on the block I prefer the more conservative approach to serving.  Side outs on service errors grind my gears.

  3. We shop every year for home and auto renewal. We switched this May to a bundled plan with Geico. We've been with Geico before for auto but their home coverage is new to us. Well we've had to file two claims on the hone since May.  We knew Geico didn't actually underwrite their home policies and that they contracted out to Homesite, but I didn't know that Homesite also turned around and contracted out to another company called American Family Insurance.  

     

    AFI has been horrible.  Every part of their business other than their adjusters is contracted out. As a result there are multiple layers of approval or bureaucracy to go through for everything you need to do.  Get a contractor out for a rebuild estimate? AFICS has to send a work order out to a group of contractors on your city. Reimbursement? AFICS sends your receipts to another group who goes through them and approves or denies your reimbursement. Book accommodations? Got a wait for another company to call you to set it up for you.  It's a waste of time and I'm convinced it's designed that way to wear you down so you don't fight them.

     

    There are lots of horror stories on Reddit regarding Homesite.  Geico uses them as their home policies unit.  So does Progressive. Star far away.

    While we're at it, Butler kicks so much ass (as do those burgers)

    Burgers at the Butler Pitch and Putt truck (Gimme Burger) should get more love 

     

    How long has that been there? I don't know about this.

    sargent is such a good goal scorer at the championship level that i’ve never understood why he’s been such a dud (comparatively) for the usmnt. 

    i think he's one of those players who needs to feel comfortable in his surroundings before performing at optimal level. he needs more run.

    This thread left me wondering about something. What are some schools that have traditional college experiences (including P4ish football), but are extremely easy to get into (>83%)? There were plenty more than I expected and something for everyone.

    Michigan State - 84% acceptance rate

    Iowa - 85%

    Arizona - 86%

    Oregon - 85%

    Arizona State - 90%

    Iowa State - 89%

    Utah - 87%

    Colorado State - 90%

    Cincinnati - 88%

    Kansas - 88%

    Kentucky - 92%

    Ole Miss - 98% (!!!)

    West Virginia - 88%





     

    How does Aggie compare there?

  7. I'm doing this on 9/11.  Not looking forward to the prep but I've had to prep twice before, last time during Christmas of 2023, so at least this time I won't be staring at the family eating lamb and rib roast while I'm gazing into my green jello and chicken broth.
