  1. My hope is if you ring our catcher up on two inside pitches you feel more pressure to call it the other way with him squatting 6 inches in front of you.
  2. This is true. It's a ton of kids with money from DC and NE and they refer to non-students in Charlottesville as "townies."
  3. My ex went to UVA. My impression from several trips to Charlottesville is anybody who calls them Cavs or Cavaliers didn't actually go to UVA. It's all Hoos. I do prefer the UVA fanbase over the rest of the CWS field but (for personal reasons) a vengeful skullfucking tonight would be quite nice.
  4. Holy shit. This has been an amazing CWS so far.
  5. I'd echo @TwiceHorn in that it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to seek some help. I know how overwhelming that first step can be so please don't hesitate to PM anyone here if we can help point you in the right direction. It might sound cheesy or soft but I'd also add that raising your hand for help isn't a sign of weakness or that you're broken. Just from what you mentioned with your dad and sister it is apparent you've been through some pretty heavy trauma and there is probably a lot to unpack. If anything, it is normal / expected for you to feel shitty after having to go through those things. I personally went through similar things and I know that if left untreated or unaddressed, especially over long periods of time, those shitty experiences can really snowball into a heavy burden that you have to carry. The good news is that it absolutely can get better and that there are several ways to make that burden lighter. Hang in there.
  6. I mean... I along with three other anti-SEC people all said "I can't believe that got out." I'm all for the fight but that was very wind-aided.
  7. Thing is they barreled him up twice the inning before too. He was running out of steam... just would hope your bullpen doesn't shit all over themselves like they did.
  8. Felt like that was coming... His offspeed was getting left up and they were barreling him up the inning before. Hard to pull a guy with a no-no and a 4 run lead but I would've been thinking about it after the leadoff walk.
  9. Didn't see him get his second foot down, don't know how that is a catch
  10. He (and I) want help with watching it illegally for free.
  11. In case you hadn’t seen, He’s been playing shows on Facebook live every Wednesday and Sunday. Not quite the Gallery Room but I’ve enjoyed tuning in here and there. Has been sampling a lot of the new album.
  12. For once, Surly was right. Appreciate all the good feedback. Felt like a little bitch doing it but walked into a motorcycle custom fab shop to bounce it off of them (hey uhhh could you build a sidecar for my bitchass scooter for my dog?) and they were also adamant I didn’t want to do it with a 50cc. I’m looking through other options now. I’ll keep you guys posted.
  13. Thought about starting a new thread but figured my audience was probably already here. Have been wanting to learn more about Austin history, specifically through a real estate and urban development lens. Been thinking about who (individuals or organizations) have been the most impactful in driving change and who has rode the wave of that change most skillfully. I'm especially interested in recent history (last ~30 years) but recognize that history shapes the present and a real analysis would stretch way beyond that. Any good books / articles / opinions you can offer?
  14. Happy to hear you are doing well, man. I actually want to apologize to you. To be honest, I saw your previous posts and shared them as a joke because I did suspect it was purely coincidence. After some time went by without hearing from you and a few others reached out in a more earnest fashion (kudos to those guys), I began to regret not doing the same. We are a bunch of assholes around here but it's really not something that's acceptable to joke about or take lightly. So for that- I truly am sorry. To you, but also to anybody else whose life has been impacted by suicide to any degree. As for your story above- I'm glad you could share with us here. Everybody processes these things differently, but I encourage you (and your fiancé) to continue to reach out here or elsewhere if you need to. That is a traumatic thing to experience and there's no shame in seeking help and taking care of yourself.
  15. @Hook1997's link works for me. http://buffstream.io/boxingstreams
  16. Sounds like Petrino was on a 50. I’d seen where the max weight on the 50cc ruckus was 300 lbs. Obviously the weight load is entirely different when half of that is from sidecar but I assumed it would work in that case. If it weren’t able to top 25mph with the sidecar setup, I’d be fine with that. But maybe I should trade up if the performance is going to be that much better.
  17. I don’t know how credible the info is but I have seen online where guidance was for the sidecar weight load should be ~1/3 of total weight so I think your math is close. This would be central/west Austin so some hills but mostly flat. I have zero desire to take this on to a street with a speed limit over 30. If the 50cc doesn’t have the horsepower, I’d be open to trading up. And the Zumas actually are the other scooter I do actually like the look of. I’m completely new to scooters here so this is the kind of feedback that’s helpful. Thanks
  18. I expect to get shit for this but will roll with the punches if I can get a good rec out of it. I'm buying a 50cc scooter as a fun way to get around town and want to add a sidecar so my dog can join. I'm leaning towards a Honda Ruckus for which I've really only found one shop that manufactures custom sidecars. I hope this isn't as bad as the guy who got his jerseys tailored, but I honestly just hate the style and am wondering if I can find someone to build something custom that's a little more simple and is presumably more affordable. Yes custom is expensive, and I preferably want someone who works with motorcycles/scooters who will be able to put something together that rides reasonably well. So might be looking for something that doesn't exist but giving it a shot. Know anyone?
  19. I actually would be in for treefiddy. I'm not sure what I really bring to the table so I will be submitting proxy votes in line with whatever @alphahorn says to do, should he join. @Randolph Duke has given me Dr. Michael Burry vibes from the Tell Me About A&M thread. Just instead of plowing through hundreds of thousands of underlying mortgages to make a fortune, he's sorting through mountains of paper to expose aggie since we the people of the great state of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.
  20. Guys we might have a much darker NowThis situation...
  21. If this is a troll, bravo for irritating the living shit out of me. Go on the surly podcast and tell us why your half-ass pity fund is deserving of our charity. I’m doubtful your reasoning (uhhhh it will help me out?) will change my mind, but I’ll at least toss you some bucks for actually putting in that minimal amount of effort.
