  1. Yeah it's been a second-tier arms race around here for quite a while. If you look at the stadiums of the conference pre original realignment to today they're night and day for a good number of the schools.
  2. Love me some "The Great War" in 1964 from the BBC. 26 parts total of just midcentury British greatness in Michael Redgrave. Every episode is on YouTube for free for anyone interested. The theme alone is harrowing.
  3. You could send NATO missiles/planes/etc into Ukraine and have them cripple Russia's forces in Ukraine in less than a day or so. Obviously Russia could then escalate, but how would they effectively without nuking NATO itself?
  4. Not sure it's true but if so that'd be the total US in Afghanistan deaths in 10 years in the last two days alone.
  5. How big was UH in the SWC days? I have to imagine it's much bigger now, but will still probably last in B12 in football attendance.
  6. I have a coworker who moved there and she loved it for about a year and then got "Island fever" or whatever and couldn't wait to leave the islands for the mainland as much as possible.
  7. Correct, it's difficult for private religious universities to reach AAU due to funding but certainly nothing in the rules against it.
  8. Shit, I'm awaiting my call if you count my EUIV time with my HOI4 time.
  9. Baylor beats BYU in most of the key academic metrics (which are often BS as our oSu friends like to tell us) as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure where BYU being the academic leader comes from... Carnegie: Baylor - R1 BYU - R2 AAU: Baylor - Nope BYU - Nope USNEWS: Baylor - 77 BYU - 89 And none of this matters of course as we're a relatively weak conference academically.
  10. He was beating the "Russia and Ukraine wanted peace, but US said no" line a couple days back.
  11. Anyone listen to gaming podcasts? After the whole Giant Bomb split I find myself listening to Nextlander (love their Watchcast too where they're watching the first season of Star Trek) and Jeff Gerstmann's show almost every week. Crazily enough I listen to them waaaay more often than I actually play games.
  12. While great looking that is Microsoft Flight Simulator based on the same stuff the other video was based on.
  13. As a part time fan of Wednesday...yes fuck Sheffield United.
  14. I hate Vampire Survivors so much. "I'll just play one game" then boom its 1AM
