  1. Scroll up and show the new NEZ scoreboard going in if you’re actually on site.
  2. Username checks out.
  3. The Eisenhorn and Ravenor trilogies were quite good. Have reread both several times. I’ve tried some of Abnett’s other stuff and didn’t like it as much. I’ve read both Pariah and Penitent from his new Bequin trilogy. They seem to be taking a long time setting up what could be a dramatic finale. Depends where he wants to go with it. Eisenhorn, corrupted as ever, remerges to fight against Ravenor as an Elizabeth Bequin clone created by the congnitae locates one one of the lost primarchs. Cherubael, the traitor legions and most of the original characters are there too though the first two books have a more whodunnit type of feel with nice reveals at the end.
  4. Sell. It’ll probably happen 3-4 times No one plays 80’s SEC offense anymore. B/S: We have any single receiver with 800+ yards and 10 TD’s this year.
  5. Worse. It’s misspelled, uncentered and lacks the proper pluralization. This shit will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.
  6. Thanks. May FCB finally be right.
  7. I thought it was going to be a throwback to the mid to early 90’s field logo, and I liked it. I don’t hate the shadowed Texas shape, but it seems more at home in Conference USA or something. Either way it should be relatively short lived.
  8. Everyone is sweating the logo and no one has noticed that the endzone lettering is placed caddywampussed inside the five yard lines, and are gibberish? Great googly moogly.
  9. Pretty sure they’re second only in size to our nuclear carriers. They’re about 80 feet shorter, and displace 60-70,000 tons. That might qualify as pathetic for a cruise ship in the Caribbean, but as warships go it’s a really big MFer. They’re not rolling around in the Ark Royal anymore. I saw one in NYC Harbor some time ago and thought it was one ours until I saw the second island.
  10. Black lighting too?
  11. The Bonnie Dick was a problem in port during heavy maintenance with contractors aboard, much of the crew off, and some of the fire suppression systems shut down. The Admiral Kantkeeptheenginesrunning is literally followed around by a dedicated tug boat for when it invariably breaks down.
  12. You mean they boys and girls buying old Russian carriers to use and copy for their own?
  13. Those hashes.....seem to be less than aligned with the SEZ.
  14. Some of that is due to Saban coming to terms with the fact that his preferred method of Jurassic football wasn’t going to cut it against quality spread attacks stocked with peer level talent in the playoffs and beyond. And also that the SEC has advanced it’s average offensive competency and schemes to something past turn of the millennia Big XII levels. He’d much rather punt a lot and beat opponents up with his defense.
  15. Kinda my point. Were we really worse than Maryland in 2018?That day, yes. That season? No. Ive been up to my ears with work and haven’t looked into Sark’s starts at Washington or USC. I think ULL has all it needs to beat us if things align right. I also have more faith in the current OC’s willingness to maximize his talent and the current DC’s ability to not play retarded defense. I can see us winning ugly and struggling against pig if we start the season slow.
  16. They’re a good team, and beating ISU is a feather in their cap, but ISU’s perennial case of sluggish starts and early head scratching losses under Matt Campbell must also be considered.
  17. Works both ways a bit. They’ll have to best guess our personnel packages, core concepts and pet plays. They’ll have zero footage of preferred chain movers, red zone plays or any of our “specials, and they going to have to infer what players will do in new positions. Its not unlike CU having to deal with Casey for a half. They’d seen our offense and players, but it’s a whole different animal when you have no game tape to prepare from other than a spring game and Bama film. Thats not to say we slap our junk on the new turf and roll ULL, I fully expect our systems to range from dysfunctional to orgasmic, but they’ll be in a bit of wait and see mode themselves. Or throwing haymakers without knowing our counters.
  18. Yeah, but didn’t he set them loose again in the 50’s? i mostly suppressed that sh*tty franchise killer too.
  19. Fantastic. Has nothing to do with the point at hand.
  20. Not cloud judgment. Just what I was saying. A few went immediately defensive. I don’t care if you smoke it or much of anything else really. I don’t care if you prefer to drink or go on Joe Rogan acid trips. Don’t care. But I think the overall connection between all kinds of drug use and passenger behavior is real, and the prevalence of that MJ smell is an indicator of it of where people are at on the issue if not the causation of the stuff that makes the news.
  21. I’ve seen plenty who were stupid enough to bring it and advertise the fact, but I’m pretty sure that showing up visibly intoxicated or under the influence of drugs is still not permissible whether the passenger is chill or not. I find the intoxicated ones are coming or going to places like Vegas or Mexico.
  22. Also, your defense of the subject seems to centered on some thought that I care about it’s general use. I don’t. You do you. It doesn’t mean I want to smell it anymore than I want to smell cigarette smoke or a pissy bar bathroom. This is not a for or against observation I’m making or any comment on legalization other than noticing the correlation between it an issues in the industry. But you and several others jumped on that train.
  23. You’re a smart guy, but your love of the leaf is clouding your reading comprehension. I, and several of my coworkers noticed an uptick in passenger issues when MJ started being legalized. I have noticed that most every passenger we have removed from the plane or who is a problem reeks of it, and that it stinks like it at every curb. I also said that the majority of those removals aren’t the violent kind, and that the violent kind is a very small percentage of overall passenger disturbances. The problem is that you think I’m directly equating marijuana use with violence. No, I’m noting it’s heightened use and presence before flying over everyone thinking people are showing up drunk. That’s hardly the case though it’s common in Vegas to get some of that. The point that you and others keep ignoring is that, as I said in the original post, people are showing up blazed, using or abusing their prescriptions and as well as other drugs legal or not. It’s usually pretty obvious when someone is just inebriated. There’s a smell to that as well. I think a more permissive societal attitude towards drug use combined with the stresses of the last 24 months or however long it’s been is making some bad combinations inside of metal tubes. I also think that the extreme low fares being used to entice people to fly again is bringing forth some members of society who are prone to violence, drug use and or are anti authoritarian. We had a guy charge the flightdeck at the gate after refusing to wear his mask last summer. He proceeded to tell the FA he was going to beat her up, dog cussed her, let everyone know he’s been to prison and wasn’t afraid to go back and then tried to shove the lead FA out of the way and push past the other pilot into the flightdeck. We shoved him out, locked the door per procedures and called for law enforcement. We saw him run up the jet bridge and disappear into the terminal. Don’t know what happened to him. Shortly thereafter a woman claiming to be his fiancé trudging up the jet brigade dragging their bags and likely considering her recent life choices. My position is anecdotal, but let’s be real. Crews see a lot more of it than pretty much all of you combined.
