  1. That said, this is happening a lot of places that don’t have a state law enforcement agency with an axe to grind
  2. I’d take a leg bullet for Breece Hall, but fuck he never should have said that out loud
  3. That was the only use of that name I knew of.
  4. I’ve been watching sports docs in that window. JFF a couple nights ago, Pony Excess last night. She turns into a monster around 3AM. Little shit has me wrapped around her finger for sure
  5. I knew all of these guys were involved. I was stunned that Lee bet AGAINST ISU. He had been an absolute model citizen. He was raising his 12 year old sister in his collegiate apartment because his parents were shit-asses
  6. She’s Sloane Taylor. Sloane came from a baby name Tinder-esque app my wife and I used, Taylor was my younger cousin, who I was really close with who died in an ATV accident when he was 9. A close friend of mine (who also farms) has a 1 year old named Maisie actually
  7. That’s what every ISU/KU game I’ve been to in Lawrence was like
  8. I’ve made Des Moines to Denver in 8 many times. Ames to Boulder is less than 9 pretty easily. I think Columbia to Boulder was the biggest haul. Im also talking about the effect for fans too. It’s a lot cheaper to hop in the car and spend 8-9 hours driving to Norman than it is flying to Tucson.
  9. The Big 8 is exactly what a college sports conference should be. Every school within a day’s drive of each other, regional commonality, scores of characters, round robin schedules.
  10. I bet the average actual attendance of a Cal, Stanford, and SMU game combined might hit 25K
  11. It was a perfect distraction for sitting in a chair soothing an angry newborn at 1AM.
  12. I’ll be there as well with a bunch of my cousins. Should be a banger!
  13. Just watched it. -Billy Liucci seems like he sucks. Big time. -So much Aggy weirdness. People who are unaware of Aggy gonna wonder what the fuck they’re watching. -So much SECSECSEC. -I found it weird that there was so little focus on the last 6 years of Manziel’s life. Looks like he at least saved enough money to sit around and grill, drink seltzers, and smoke joints with a few sycophants. -Speaking of sycophants, he did his boy from high school dirty. But that guy was just a total coattail riding cuck. -Wish Sumlin would have commented. Not like he has a lot of room to talk. -I remember a long form piece about Manziel and his relationship with his dad. It painted his dad as kind of a pussy who raised an entitled cunt. This doc didn’t change my mind on any of that. -Manziel doesn’t seem like he’s learned all that much. Just keeping more of a lid on it. Guy WAS fun to watch though.
  14. Definitely ready to get back to the ensemble here. Episode 1 was as good as this show gets. I’m sure they’re going somewhere with 2&3, but things are better when all 4 of them are together
  15. 16 seems big enough, but now that the Big 10 went to 18, no conference capable of adding teams will stop doing it, regardless of negative effects. I agree with you that the SEC will be a better product by not growing, but they’ll eventually feel compelled to match the Big 10’s raw #, which will come in the form of an ACC raid, which will result in the Big 12 growing from ACC leftovers.
  16. I fucking love this song. Huge chorus, heavy Celtic influence that a lot of their best work has - The Housefire in particular (I hear a lot of Scott Miller “Highland County Boy” which they used to cover here too), a little zydeco, and some lyrics that only come from Evan Felker. Felker has said more than once on a given song that he was trying to do (James) McMurtry and I see that in this. That chorus has a non-obvious melody that just ear worms your brain, in the same way I’ve always felt the vastly underrated The Hard Way does.
  17. There’s nothing there until the ACC cracks
  18. Oh. Duh. I knew there was probably an obvious explanation, but I’m just so sick of that gambling investigation I try not to even think about it
  19. Joined the club on Saturday. Nearly 6 years to the date after our first infertility appointment.
  20. Their matchup with Minnesota has a phenomenal trophy. It’s a bronze pig named Floyd of Rosedale. But Minnesota is so fucking apathetic that no one notices. Iowa/Wisconsin is kind of the Farmageddon of the Big 10, without a great nickname. The games usually finishes 5-3 or something like that, but it’s usually what decides the West division for Wisky, and the fanbases (at least Iowa) seem to care a lot, and they’ve played a million times. The Big 10 gave it a dumb generic trophy about 15 years ago. Iowa/Nebraska is a forced rivalry with another generic trophy, because it’s the only game within 6 hours of Lincoln. Its developed some actual steam locally, mostly because western Iowa has a lot of front running Nebraska fans from the glory days, and the states are so economically and culturally tied. The game is never for anything, so the rest of the country hasn’t caught on.
  21. Iowa/Minnesota was pushed to a Friday in 2021. I actually thought it was pretty fun at the end of the day. Some Hawk buddies of mine did a big fish fry for it.
  22. That would be a really entertaining arrangement. 8 10 school pairings feeding a playoff would be amazing. Make playoffs contingent off of winning that round robin and use non-con to schedule some really great cross pairing match ups, where you’d have blue bloods playing blue bloods and bottom feeders playing bottom feeders. A 10 team pairing of ISU, KSU, KU, Mizzou, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Colorado, and Colorado State is my CFB wet dream in such an arrangement.
  23. If you’ve ever been to Moorhead or LuVerne, you wouldn’t take much umbrage at Minnesota in a “Great Plains” division. Seems like the best designation for said division all things considered.
