  1. Yeah any top driver in Max's car right now is gonna win. Just like Mercedes before them, and Red Bull before them. They just have to beat their teammate.
  2. FYI this will air on CNBC tomorrow ...
  3. What ... you don't like Mr. Roboto?
  4. From loki on the Autosport thread:
  5. I think so, yeah. They wanna run the race at night to show off the Strip. Understandable, and it would generally look pretty shitty in the daytime anyway, but they could accomplish that starting even 3 or 4 hours earlier this time of year. They say F1 needs this race to be a success to crack the US market, but they didn't set those times with the US market in mind. IMHO that's for the casinos to market Vegas to Europe. If the casinos don't want this race, it does not happen.
  6. Are those indications to avoid the area due to traffic tie-ups? NM. Texas08 answered it for me while I was posting.
  7. Yeah 59 & 58 degrees for the start of Qualifying and the race, respectively.
  8. Yep & I think the weight of the new cars would hinder them even more than the size. These current cars are pigs in slow corners, which is what that old track overwhelmingly was composed of, and they excel in medium to high-speed corners, which that old track has very little to none of. I think on that track, the old cars just might win. Maybe even easily.
  9. Donny Osmond set to perform National Anthem at F1′s Las Vegas Grand Prix https://www.fox5vegas.com/2023/11/13/donny-osmond-set-perform-national-anthem-f1s-las-vegas-grand-prix/ I couldn't stand that mfer 50 years ago ...
  10. The Torger, interrogating Lewis about the shoe he found at the Bellagio poker slots ...
  11. Exactly. That's why it's never made sense for them to be opposed to Andretti, and it's probably why we've never heard them say anything to that effect.
  12. The first time I ever saw an aggy joke book was in a box of random stuff in my Grandma's basement in Tennessee when I was like 10. She would buy low and sell high at flea markets and garage sales. At that point I'd never been to Texas and was all like "What's an Aggie?" My older, wiser cousins told me "They're like Texas Polacks". Then it all made sense.
  13. Those Corps Turds better keep that bitch (Reveille, not the one getting her ear bitten off) away from Bevo XV, or she might get the Uga treatment.
  14. Yep. Only as a partner to Andretti. In all of this, we don't even know that Liberty (Malone, Maffei) don't want Andretti/GM to come onboard. We just know that some of the teams have lobbied them publicly to not allow the entry. To me, the teams vocally, publicly lobbying Liberty/FOM suggests that they're very insecure about their position and think there's at least a decent chance that FOM will allow the entry. And of course, allowing the entry makes all kinds of sense for FOM. Like I've said for a long time, I think this is what's happening and FOM will allow the entry in the end. But wewillsee...
  15. Y'all 'member Donny Osmond? Yeah ...
  16. Oh please please please please please sweet baby Jesus make this happen.
  17. ... with a combined square footage bigger than his house.
  18. This was my reaction as well. I can't imagine them letting him walk on it at all, even with help, if they thought something was badly damaged. But I guess we'll know when we know ...

    9-1

    Yep. Last I checked, a 3-point win still counts the same as a 50-point win. Buncha numbnuts bitches complaining, calling for firing Sark, etc. FML. Fuckers probably can't even remember the last time we were 9-1.

    USC @ Oregon

    You gotta be in it to win it. They effectively ended it right there with 2 or 3 minutes left, or whatever it was. They just forfeited any chance they had left. I'm not saying they had any kind of good chance of tying it. They didn't, but we've all seen crazy shit happen when teams are just trying to run out the clock. Had that shit happened after they failed on that 2 pter, they still would have needed 2 scores. I.E. they still wouldn't have tied it up.

    Yeah their playcalling was shit, but not making it ended their game, Full stop. Kick the point, and you at least have a very slim chance.

    USC @ Oregon

    Yeah but in this scenario they don't have time to play for 2 possessions. They needed to put themselves into position to potentially tie on their next possession, if they even get that. By going for 2 and failing, they left themselves no realistic chance at all. They effectively ended their game right there. Had they made the extra point, at least they're still in with a longshot chance.

    I don't understand going for 2 there.
