  1. My kid took 3rd at district on triple jump. He had absolutely no clue what he was doing. He looked like a gassy kangaroo. There was a gal who was clearly trained and who probably outjumped him by 5 feet, she made it look effortless. Triple jump and some of the field events should be outlawed.
  2. Yikes. Does he need to pee?
  3. It's amazing how far one becomes willing to drive as opposed to sitting on bleachers for 10 hours.
  4. Your copy/paste didn't work.
  5. I realize it's all priced in by the derivatives gurus, but I don't think I'd be buying calls going into the weekend. Hope it pays off.
  6. Wind is blowing out, Georgia might mash.
  7. Saw that with my kid. He got 3rd at district in long jump with a 20' or so and the guy who won had all kinds of technique and would pop a 26'. I mean, it just wasn't a fair fight, most likely even if they DID have the same coaching. I looked that kid up and he was signed to play running back for Iowa State or some such. Ah. Had to have a little talk with my son about his future. "Study real hard."
  8. I'm glad you survived. I stumbled into track when my son made the team. I had absolutely no concept of how boring a track meet could be, especially a one-day meet. He did five events -- sprints, jumps and a relay. It took ALL DAY every one-day meet. Drove me crazy. I started driving him to meets and going back home to Austin. Good luck, son, I'll pick you up at 6.
  9. That assistant was wholly responsible for A&M's run to the title game. Nobody could have predicted this season's misfortune.

    Burgers

    @HenryJames hasn't had a burger in 6 weeks, imo.
  11. There really isn't any reason to blank out the license plate. They're on a public road and they're proud.
  12. I know Georgia is a very good offensive team, but holy crap: AVG: UGA 0.324 (UT 0.299) SLG%: UGA 0.629 (UT 0.537) R: UGA 327 (UT 207) HR: UGA 84 (UT 47) BB: UGA 204 (UT 136) K: UGA 243 (UT 237) It might not suck if things get pushed to a Sunday doubleheader, when the wind will be keeping the ball in the park. Weather tonight looks dicey. Saturday should see us dry out, Sunday will be sunny, breezy and cool.
  13. UGA is hilarious. Well, the UGA I saw at a game in Athens was hilarious, but that was 1996 (UGA V). He lived in a little doghouse on the sidelines and would come charging out to grab the towel of one of their cheerleaders, who would then twirl him like a bulldog helicopter. Now UGA X was a little bitch who was very lucky not to end up as a trophy on Bevo's horn.
  14. I know nothing about your field, but my gut says to include them. It seems like it shows a broader set of interests and skills than the average applicant might have.
  15. When I was a boy I named my first dog Pepper, and now I am sad.
  16. I tried to find a photo of the dog and the coach, but failed. However, this turned up, and I offer without comment:
  17. No way. I never picked up on that. I just assumed Chris, his entire staff, his management and the studio crew were unaware of the irony.
  18. "Chris Simms Unbuttoned" and he's wearing a button down dress shirt buttoned to the top . . . and no tie. (JK, I agree it would be nice if Sark could bring Simms back in the fold, our fans treated him like dogshit.)
  19. I think it's less physical and more mental. Guys like Kobe, Jordan, Bird, etc. just loathed coming in anything but first. I'm not sure Kawhi has that same drive.
  20. Dirt Burglars go down in game 1. I'm not gonna lose any sleep but it would be nice if they could grab at least one of the next two.
