  1. @closetojumping On your post above on them being #2 in the portal, doesnt somebody else other than 247 do a better job like ESPN or On3?  Seems like you get a BIG boost in rankings (see Colorado) for huge numbers coming in but no 'penalty' for going out.

    What I recall, from the time of the accident, is that a Professor of Civil Engineering had designed the structure, prepared plans, produced a manual (insert MensaTom binder joke here) and had supervised the previous couple of years' construction. The design included using double-length logs in each layer (except the top, of course) which essentially tied the layers together to prevent exactly the slippage that happened. However, he had left aggy (for Colorado State, I think it was) and was not there for the Fatal Fire. I'm not sure about his successor in the task, but whether it was an active faculty member or not, the critical element - the longer logs that tied the layers together were apparently not used. 

    The issue is not that the structure was a shitty design - I think it is a perfectly good design, in fact. The issue is that they did not follow the design, and that is - or seems to me to be - a classic case of negligence on the part of the school itself.

    Heads should have rolled: they didn't.

    Fuck aggy, and fuck the aggys that deflected the punishment.

     

    Ive never heard this, or I forgot about it over the years.  Pretty awful, and I can see why the families of the deceased are upset.  Their kids died in vane and aggy with their precious bonfire supersedes human life.

  3. Yes. And in my mind it doesn’t even have to be a tour event. How about just one tournament where they all use clubs from 30-40 years ago. Just for the heck of it. If I was a top player I would definitely go for that.

    My club, texarkana country club, had the 100 year anniversary in 2014. We had a tournament where the pro rented replica clubs from back then with wooden shafts and the best he could do on balls was some off brand that was 70 compression. It was a lot of fun, but I was hitting either boomerang hooks or super high blocks when I went after it.
  4. I don’t get how they play with all that shit in their back pocket.

    I think whoever wins this is going to have to grind it out. I'm predicting a lot of knee-knocking around amen corner.
    Homa is the fucking man. Not sure if anyone here watches Bob Does Sports but their rounds with Homa are great (Schauffele and Keegan are also great watches). He went and shot like a 59 or 60 in this one.
    [/url] Also his wife is an absolute babe.
     

    Bob does sports is a national treasure.
  5. No posts huh. Lots going on. Col down big early. Lesser tanev ran otter, does Chris get to choose who beats his ass? 2-0 after 2. 

    It was Seattle so I went to my lease to mow and shove some dirt around getting ready for dove season in the Fall.

    As someone who has played the course I have to think you mean this as sarcasm. Also I've been away awhile, what happened to I think DDDdad?

    Yes, if you look under the picture I posted I said sarcasm in very small print. 

  7. He can still be competitive but 2 wins in 7 years tells me he’s not elite and any major win will be a surprise. 

    Charl schwartzel is a surprise. Not Jordan

    Thats a pretty extreme statement considering Spieth is the 18th ranked player in the world. 

    He got 4th or 5th place last year.  Horrible golfer.
