  1. Their in-house DJ shut them up. That place had minimal energy. When a place is dead like that and you have Obi Wan Mikkobi on a heater, Canucks are fucked.
  2. I had 8th row seats to the side. I didn’t know many songs. I looked it up and I like “Annihilation”. IMG_9632.mov IMG_9634.mov
  3. Well, you’re not going to see THAT again. IMG_9634.mov IMG_9632.mov
  4. He’ll always have those Tennessee connections once he moves back to California that will set him up for a lifetime of success.
  5. This kind of felt like it was over BEFORE kickoff. And since PSG’s goal today, it definitely feels over. A second PSG goal today seems more likely than a single Arsenal goal. PSG just seems smarter.
  6. Don’t recall hearing about her, but I don’t follow the juniors. She made the right choice. I’m sure that a WC invite to the Italian Open in 2025, and maybe 2026, along with financial backing was key to bringing the young Italian girl back home. Naomi Osaka winks with understanding.
  7. So glad that she has given up being with a Sinner, because this Saint would like a turn.
  8. I like that OU’s offensive newcomers meetings will feature a guy from Stanford and a guy from Cal sitting with a guy from McNeese State. My god they have so much in common.
  9. I hope that you have learned your lesson. . . . . https://collegeofcardinalsreport.com/cardinals/pierbattista-pizzaballa/
  10. I would enjoy going to a game (the latter) and experience the atmosphere outside the stadium before/after the game, but I have yet to make plans to go into Switzerland. I do feel that the pregame will be better for any game there than most games at Jerry World, that features a stadium in the middle of parking lots in all directions.
  11. Serena Courgette “Eggplant” = “aubergine”
  12. WTA Italian Open is underway! Plus Stearns won in straight sets.
  13. I will likely be attending the bier festival in Nuremberg one of those days before or after visiting friends in Stuttgart. I am more interested in El Torneo EURO Femenino that is taking place in Switzerland in July.
  14. Sorry that I am just seeing this. There is zero reason to travel to Buenos Aires and visit their national museum. The coolest thing about the museum is that it was originally the water treatment plant/water pump that would send water to the Palacio de las Aguas Corrientes on Av. Córdoba between Calle Riobamba & Calle Ayacucho. Something is either unique or it isn’t. “Unique” can’t be qualified. @TexArcher if you want a walking tour of the Plaza de Mayo area, let me know and I will send you a map with about 20-ish points of interest right around there. It is best to go when the banks are open (10am-3pm M-F), because 2 to 3 banks down there are really cool, as is a basilica that is only open during the week and is just 2 blocks off the Plaza de Mayo.
  15. Barren and took two completely different mindsets into our tours of duty on the 40 Acres… (and I actually required 2 tours to get through)… and you can tell from where we each are now. Congratulations, Barryn! I will be pulling for you! (No pictured: Napoleon) 🤘
  16. Being suspended a couple of games as head coach at Michigan is kind of like becoming a Made Man in the mafia. It establishes your legitimacy.
  17. When you stop going to school at the age of 14, you are not very likely to identify written error at the age of 22.
  18. Where did you find this? Seems a bit pie in the sky.
  19. You know what else is too?
  20. I don’t think that Sorana is as hot as others on this board (I didn’t know about her 7 to 10 years ago), but she has a great smiley persona. (She could use a nose job, but it’s not necessary.) Every time I see Kalinskaya, I think that she is more beautiful than the time I saw her before. She is just delicious. The way they would giggle together after some points… On to the dudes… Jack Draper should have beaten Ruud, but choked when serving for the first set up 5-4. Also, Draper is a very good clay court player, but he isn’t a threat in Paris, because he’s too big to win a beat 3 out of 5 tournament on clay. If his dad hasn’t been the president of the London Tennis Association for a while, Draper would have played rugby at his prep school. Draper is a very large dude. I just looked him up and he’s listed at: 6’4” & 187 lbs. No way he is only 187 lbs. I would put him up closer to 195 lbs to 200 lbs. So no way Draper’s body can hold up in Paris to advance beyond the Quarterfinals and he may wilt before that.
  21. I’m Team Trey next year. I like my QBs to be able to see TEs & WRs crossing the middle. Of course “Team Arch” first, then “Team Trey”.
  22. I was perusing the Denver Post in order to relish in the Avalanche misery and I came across this… 1. Game 7 demons exorcised: The Avs entered Saturday night with ghosts aplenty. Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Gabe Landeskog and head coach Jared Bednar had never won a winner-take-all Game 7. They’d never come back to win a series. And they’d also never dispatched a team coached by Peter DeBoer, losing three separate series with the veteran coach behind the bench with San Jose (2019), Vegas (2021) and Dallas (2024). And those demons remain — for another year at least. In perhaps the most painful way possible. Mikko Rantanen, himself winless in four Game 7s, stuck the dagger in with two straight third-period goals (a third came on an empty net). Then he twisted it on the power play, starting a tic-tac-toe that ended with Wyatt Johnston scoring the game-winner from an impossible angle. This is the kind of loss that lingers for decades. The kind that leads to pink slips. 2. O'Connor strikes ... again: A four-minute power play came up empty in the first period, and the Avs had fewer than 10 shots on goal midway through the second period when Parker Kelly got sent to the penalty box. Naturally, that's also when Logan O'Connor did what he does best: Make something happen. And, of course, everyone's favorite greasy goal scorer did it on the penalty kill. The puck squirted loose along the boards in the neutral zone, and O'Connor went on the attack, securing the turnover and delivering a perfect centering feed to a rushing Josh Manson for a one-timer that Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger had no chance of stopping. It was O'Connor's fourth assist, and sixth point, of the series. And yet another reminder of how much his absence hurt the Avs' playoff run a year ago. 3. Going bust: Avs GM Chris MacFarland pushed all his chips into the center of the table for this one, executing eight in-season trades that completely reshaped the roster. Two remade their goaltending depth. Another seemingly solved the post-Nazem Kadri 2C problem. And the most explosive sent away a franchise icon in Rantanen ... who just so happened to be the one who killed their season on Saturday. Unlike their basketball counterparts playing a Game 7 of their own back in Denver, the Avs have never been afraid to take risks. But right now, after a second first-round exit in three seasons, the Avs have to be wondering if it was all worth it. All of their picks in the first three rounds of the 2025 and '26 NHL drafts are now gone. So, too, is top prospect Calum Ritchie. And that 2C solution? Brock Nelson will be a 33-year-old free agent this summer. A massive offseason awaits. https://www.denverpost.com/2025/05/03/avalanche-stars-game-7-mikko-rantanen-slapshots/amp/
