  1. Yes, someone please alert me when the crow feast begins. Should be entertaining.
  2. All good brother ... err ... Mrs. Whiggins.
  3. Yeah that's where Kirk was shot, but news outlets are reporting that Robinson attended Utah State. for one semester. ETA: ... or what @'stache said above.
  4. Yep. TIL Utah State (that was the school he went to, right?) is a bastion of liberalism.
  5. It's closed today. Moose out front shoulda told ya. Yeah I'm guessing Tyler Robinson just might not be the 'radical left lunatic' MAGA & Trump wanted him to be. Meanwhile, at the White House: Reporter: “My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?" Trump: “I think very good. And by the way, you see all the trucks? They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House.” https://x.com/SpencerHakimian/status/1966527816008155249 eta: I know. Already posted. My bad.
  6. Yeah, I know ... it started the moment he was shot. Just wanted to vent a bit. Yep. By Charlie Kirk's math, his own assassination was 'worth it'.
  7. Wow. The lionization of Charlie Kirk is well underway. It's amazing how many are already pretending that he was just a good guy with a conservative message of hope and peace. It's like they think we don't know what he was selling out there. According to them 'he was just a good guy, spreading his message of hope and a better way to live! And he was killed for it.' Never mind that the message was one of hatred, overt racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, and political violence, and looking the other way from violence in general. For example (nsiap) nitwit and certified crazy person, Danica Patrick: Freighting? Is that a result of all the heighting?
  8. Yeah I didn't take it as a negative comment about her as a person either --- more of a commentary on her just simply being emotionally/mentally/physically exhausted. For me, when I hear that someone is burned out, I don't take it as an insult to them but more as a commentaryn on their well-being.
  9. Absolutely. I said 'you can't coach that'. That was a bit of an oversimplification. You can instill the culture, but it's rare to get everyone to fully grasp it. The real gamers buy in 1000% and lead the way. We used to do a simple drill on the beach that helps you realize how many balls you can get that your brain will tell you can't get. I've done it with my boys and it blows their minds. It's simple. One person tossing balls into different, random spots of varying difficulty, pushing the other player harder and harder, til their tongue is damn near dragging on the court/sand. The other person was required to go after it as hard as they could, no matter where it was. Almost without fail, the player doing the drill would come away amazed at some of the touches they had made on balls they thought were impossible to touch. That was esp true for people who did the drill for the first time. The drill was great for flipping that switch and training a player to 'just go', every time. If you don't touch it, fine, but at least you did everything you could ... but then there were those magic moments when it paid off big time.
  10. Nice. She's a gamer, man. Good on her. Can't coach that. Grinding. Groveling. Playing with desperation. Just wearing the other team down. Going after every ball, even when your brain is telling you you have no realistic chance to touch it. Sometimes you surprise yourself. Moments like that were the reason I played volleyball & baseball. It's all about that W.
  11. That play was what turned the 5th in our favor imho. Crazy how much indoor volleyball swings on momentum. That was a huge emotional boost and a bonding moment for the team that imho we'll probably look back at many times throughout the development of this team over the course of the season.
  12. Yeah that was the impression I got from her all last year. I kinda thought maybe being the poster child for women's college volleyball was weighing pretty heavy around her neck.
  13. That's crazy. Minor point: iirc we were down 11-6 last night, no?
  14. Yeah I was commenting to my kid how natural she looks on the back row and is legit one of the best defenders out there. Huge transfer. Just massive.
  15. Yeah imho 100% the setter situation last year was a big mistake by Elliott & potentially cost us a shot at another title (as we were saying pretty much throughout the season). Love what I'm seeing this year though.
  16. Blitz All Night, baby!
  17. Yeah 20 kills + 18 digs seems pretty, pretty, pretty good. Is it good?
  18. Text from a friend a little while ago ... " You know, a few months ago someone told me that Epstein wants to turn COTA into a Gaylord-type property. Bless his heart ... "
  19. Hasn't he been going more against Trump lately ... or am I misremembering? ETA: Or maybe I'm thinking of Nick Fuentes.
  20. JFC, Garcia can't catch a fucking break.
  21. Crazy ... I tried several other countries and was denied access until I tried Thailand, for whom the only option is SCHN.
  22. Here (Austin), with my VPN set to ATL, like normal. Only thing offered tonight is Sportsnet+ (which I assume is Canajun).
  23. Watching on MLB.TV ... why no option for SCHN's broadcast tonight?
  24. Yeah I've said from the beginning when he started off on all these tangents: It's a race track. Just focus on having the best racing facility you can, with as much great racing as you can host, with the best racing fan experience possible, and sit back and watch all that money flow in. It's not rocket surgery.
  25. Yep. The hard could have done a full race distance pretty eassily imho. Stupid.
