  1. 96 hr mark is 10 am tomorrow morning.... The whole 96 hrs was pretty much best case scenario as I saw a report (believe the journalist that had been on it, and his trip had electrical issues) stated that was a total time that they thought they had per the CEO after he did a dive when first testing. But he was by himself with no one else on board. These four days have looking have been to appease the masses. It switches to a recovery come sometime tomorrow. And that will eventually fade away too. They are gonna have to be on the ship itself or tangled within, otherwise a 22' (?) submersible isn't being found. It took years ( and tons of money) to find the Titanic plus the WW2 ships that have been found.
  2. I'm still going with an implosion, which to me would be better than just waiting out the lack of power and O2. But to you other point about hypothermia, they would most likely be lacking in water (irony) to drink. 3days without is no bueno. Either way, we'll be hearing the switch to a recovery phase later tomorrow (not that they'll be found). SAR has been for the families, News outlets, just for training, & show.
  3. Just wondering what KOMO has planned for their follow up story...
  4. Damn good video put together by the SME "white dude" .....😝 (and yes, the perfect example of a 20 yr sonar operator) Sounds like a Comedy of errors by the arrogant rich dude. Carbon fiber hull? No thread jack but back when I was bike racing, you couldn't pay me to ride a carbon frame due to the possibility of them exploding.....Fast forward, Let's build a carbon fiber sub. Get in! And let's take it down to 4000 meters!!! What could go wrong? Well done 👆 Just started following the thread last night and wasn't about to read all, so NSIAP, but this is the perfect thread for THFRO pics and gifs.... Just a theory but, they haven't been found due the banging. Now if you watched and studied the movie.... Said to the CEO b4 they imploded during the descent or catching fire due to O2 buildup.....
  5. Had a feeling about Shaw when he was out, came back, and then out again. That sucks for him and the team next yr. Best of luck on his surgery and rehab.
  6. Same thing with fishing. When inviting your Baptist friends or neighbors to go fishing with you, ALWAYS take two or more. If only one, he WILL drink ALL of your beer.
  7. Geez... for a second there looked like Wake was going to dogpile after one win.
  8. Just my 2 cents. Utah could possibly be a cool (no pun) spot to watch some ball. Souther Ohio and Cincinnati ? That maybe an early trip for them here due to the colder weather up there. Florida (Orlando) is just like a giant theme park ( and with Disney there, kinda reinforces that). Houston is OK with the College Classic but just to see UH? No for me. Oh, I chuckled at your reference with using Cougar High. Just be ready, I did the same it the Palo Alto thread and a Surly Karen found offense to it as 2/3 of our coaching staff went to school there, Pierce and Woody. Whatever 🤷‍♂️.
  9. Yep I liked him also and that is surprising that he is leaving. Have to question that decision. Did he expect more playing time or a bigger role? He had to know that he was a project ( only select ball experience as he was homeschooled). You're right about the control issues...12 innings total with 9 walks and 5 hit by pitch. We move forward and good luck to him.
  10. Soooo, maybe someone in the know or knows someone in the know could reach out to him. Maybe it drops down a bit with stiffer competition, but 97/11 K/BB ratio and .311 BA is probably worth a call or text.
  11. Yeah, I saw the same thing when looking at his stats on the Shocker's site. Just spitballin' ...still like his 2 way ability though. 🤘
  12. Just a few that have already entered the portal.....One of the more interesting I think may be Tolle from Wichita St. Thoughts on him or any others? https://247sports.com/longformarticle/ncaa-baseball-transfer-portal-hottest-names-available-stars-who--211489657/#2182829
  13. You responding and saying that you don't about my "flex",.... I think that means you DO care. I'm gonna talk to my buddies about this.... You're NEVER gonna make SES (Surly Elitist Standing) with this 👆 attitude. YOU need to realize that TEXAS SPORTS (not just talking about the Big 3) comes BEFORE the WIFE, FAMILY, and ESPECIALLY whiny teenagers. They need to get to practice or a game? TEXAS Quidditch is ON ? Have them Bus!.. Bike!... Or take and Uber...(I hear coeds say these are safe). Excuses are for losers!! Get it together! See YOU at the Disch. DKR. Moody. Lee/Joe Jamail Natatorium. McCombs. Mike Myer!!!!! It's not too late...
  14. You and other the other Johnny come latelys are the ones bitching about Pierce. Not me. Oh, he's crappy and can't recruit!! (AGAIN, look at some of the incoming PITCHERS committed) Oh, and I'm well aware where Pierce and Woody played their college ball. (Pierce was actually a foe of mine in JUCO ball) Weird flex?? Lemme 'splain it to your density. Htown horn?? Hmmmm, maybe follow that school.... Better?
  15. Petersen knows pitching and college baseball but make no mistake about him, he IS a condescending Stanford homer. And worst of all, he is probably the biggest TEXAS band wagoner when his freaking trees are sitting at home.
  16. Somebody else said it is quaint. That is about right. Smaller light standards with lights pointing straight down. Ball gets above them at twilight which on the west coast seems even more prominent and it disappears. Been to that field and watched games at that time frame and it's very easy to lose the ball. Last night, It wasn't just one guy, but 3 players. Fuck that softball field. Proud of the team fo the way they fought back not once, but twice. A Hit in the earlier innings and tree is sitting at home. Extras, I feel the same. Hopefully we build from this and carry it forward to next year. Hook Em 🤘
  17. I know that. Twilight on the west coast can be brutal when playing games out there during that time frame. (I lived and played ball out there for 25 years)
  18. We were picked for 4th prior to the season.... So yeah, sharing the conference is a shitty outcome.
  19. JFC....3 CWS out of the last 4 years. Almost 4 out of 5. You should maybe look at who is committed to come in pitching wise. Or just follow Cougar high.
