  1. No, but when you’re in the sec games against tenn, sc, and the Mississippis get billed as top tier matchups.
  2. Plus you guys will be able to move the games against UTSA to November for a late season breather as per sec tradition.
  3. This move solidifies the SEC as the top conference after Saban is gone. After Urban left Florida and Cam Newton left Auburn, the sec has largely made its name on 1 team. As we’ve seen with Texas, Michigan, USC, etc. It’s more likely than not that they dip for a spell. Outside of Bama’s run under Saban they really have been just another conference that kept its reputation by what 1 team was doing. Remember in like 2014 when people were trying to say that when the first playoff rankings came out the top 4 should be bama, ole miss, miss st, and auburn? And then all 4 went on to lose their bowl games. Having Texas and OU there all but guarantees that after bamas dynasty fades, that collection of schools is still always the best conference, rather than comparable to the B1G or the old B12 or anyone else.
  4. WVU already trying to remind western PA that they still exist in their OOC. In 2023 their nonconference games are Pitt, psu, Duquesne. They also have a game against Robert Morris scheduled. One step away from adding slippery rock. To their credit, at the opposite end of the spectrum they have a home and home with bama scheduled.
  5. No one here will do it on the board. But we all know that the first time Texas wins a bowl game as an sec team there will be thousands in the stands chanting sec-sec-sec. 20 years from now, the younger set of Texas fans will be full-on “sec über alles”.
  6. I haven’t followed the ramifications of NIL closely so that was a really interesting conversation to hear about how things could be approached from a perspective of making sure everyone one the team gets taken care of as well as the NFT component.
  7. Double
  8. I can attest to this. For years my 60* was the only club I pulled inside of 70 yards down to the fringe. I had a lot of comfort with it, but I was constantly leaving the ball short. For every holed chip there were many that never got close. After about the millionth 2 putt for bogie after leaving a long chip halfway to the hole I decided I needed to re-evaluate my short game thinking. I’m currently trying to find as many ways as possible to take the 60* out of my hands. It definitely has its place, and I’d never take it out of my bag, but it’s not for everywhere or everyone.
  9. Lol Bryson.
  10. Us open app
  11. Just as a point of discussion, Rory was 23rd in fairways hit, Bryson was 35th. 10th & 2nd in driving distance. Tied for 8th in GIR. 21st and 15th in putts. Hughes and Oosie are 60th and 18th in fairways, 53rd and 61st in driving distance, 8th and 41st in GIR, 6th and 2nd in putts.
  12. Because of course a bunch of guys that were over par for the tournament and round were likely going to continue doing more of the same.
  13. I’ve been out of this thread for a while. What’s the general take on 1792 full proof? Grabbed a bottle for $45.
  14. It feels so contrived. Just pops up after the tour announces the “player impact fund”. Watching Brooks try to explain how it was bringing more attention to golf was painful.
  15. The Brooks - Bryson bro fight might be one of the dumbest storylines in golf right now. Honestly who gives a fuck about two douchebags pretending to have a rivalry? I wouldn’t care, but it’s been like 1/4 of the coverage in golf channel this week.
  16. There is no option. From the notification I read, if you had bought tickets for 2020 they refunded your money earlier this year. You log in and apply for the lottery like you would any other year and then they will select those accounts to buy tickets before they draw the lottery.
  17. From my understanding, if you had tickets for 2020 and didn’t get picked for the limited number of tickets for 2021, you can sign up for tickets now for 2022 and those people will be able to purchase those tickets. Then they will run the lottery for what is left after that.
  18. There are so many examples of him acting like a bitch but he also tries to act like he doesn’t care and he’s this robot that just expects to win majors. Like when he said the person that made the US open commercial a couple years ago should get fired because he wasn’t in one of what was probably a dozen versions after he had won twice. He’s one of those people that just seem like a douche bag. Like there are those people that you can have one short conversation with or see them interact with someone for a minute or two and you just know they are a douche bag to most of the people they come into contact with. He seems like that.
  19. The J&J vaccine was 66% effective in preventing any infection, but 100% effective in preventing hospitalization. So you’d expect regular testing to show somewhere in the neighborhood of 30% of asymptomatic cases. I don’t know how many people are employed by the Yankees but 7 completely asymptomatic cases and 1 minor symptomatic case doesn’t seem wildly out of line with those numbers.
  20. I wonder how much Rogan’s shift towards Trumpiness is intentional and recognizing what the bulk of his fan base wants to hear and how much of it is just Rogan being a dumbass. It’s really easy to get a moron to make several leaps of logic when you start with a generally agreeable position. Freedom is good. Stalinist communism was bad. Stoicism and self reliance are strong ideas to incorporate into one’s character. The masculine side of humanity has positive aspects and is not something to be rejected outright. A lot of the right wing media guys seem to start from these positions and then distort them into anti-left, anti-intellectual, dangerous radicalism.
  21. The thing is, there always has been and always will be a group of people that wanted themselves to succeed regardless of what tole it took on another group of people. Most people wanted the country as a whole to succeed, thought it would be nice if the American dream was accessible to everyone, but only really cared about themselves succeeding. What has changed is that one political party has convinced millions of people that the only thing that matters is hurting another group. That those people over there want to destroy your way of life, take your money, and take away everything you enjoy, so all you need to care about is electing people that will hurt them. Your success doesn’t matter right now because all that matters is hurting them. Give us some of your money and we’ll make sure that they don’t take more of it. They’ve convinced the rubes to act against their own self interest in the name of hurting other people more. It’s not that most Americans don’t have a shared set of values. It’s that one party and its media arm has convinced millions of people that most of the media, doctors, scientists, universities, big businesses, actors, artists, anyone living in a city, everyone who wasn’t born in the US, are all conspiring against you to take away your money and freedom so you need to trust us.

    Yoga

    I’m intrigued but I’m wondering how much of those benefits could be gained at once or twice a week instead of 4 times a week.
  23. The two that I’ve heard of are one where some high school girls track athletes were suing the state of Connecticut (I think) claiming that they were missing out on opportunities to compete at higher levels because they got beat by two trans girls, and the other was a power lifter who won 9 of 9 events and broke a bunch of female records and then was stripped of all of the trophies and records after the governing body found out she was trans. I’m sure dominating their sport played no role in their transition, but I’m not surprised that girls and women who try to compete at the highest level of their sport have a problem with trans athletes setting marks that are likely impossible for a person who was born female. Edit: That’s not to say that I agree with the women that feel that way. Prohibiting trans women from sports runs antithetical to everything sports should represent. Also, no one except Karen and her parents care that she missed out on states by half a second or who holds the female masters 40-44 powerlifting records. Especially compared to what the opportunity to participate means for the trans women.

    2021 Lawn and Garden

    Thanks. I’ll get them repotted and see how they do. I’m still a few weeks away from being able to get them into the ground. In zone 6b and we’re projected for a little snow later this week.
