  1. Buy Miami ticket for Texas A&M, get one free for Georgia Tech. Canes want fans to show https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article279017079.html
  2. Marko: "Checo has fluctuations because he’s South American and his head isn’t as focused as Max or Sebastian" streamin.one/v/d181ed64 Reprehensible racial/ethnic insult considerations aside, if I had a dollar for every time someone said Mexico is in South or Central America, I'd be rich lol. Geography is apparently very difficult.
  3. Oh I get it now. This must be some kind of competition to see who can make less sense than the OP did. Yeah Tulsa maybe, but Temple and Towson? Nope.
  4. Yeah Guenther is a dipshit. He, the other team principals (esp Honer & the Torger), and Domenicali have been screaming for months now that new teams need to show and prove that they'll increase F1's value - yet they refuse to explain what that added value should be. Steiner said it again the other day and when asked, said he has no clue what that actually means. I'm still waiting for one of these so-called F1 'journalists' to ask Steiner or anyone from Williams, Alpha Tauri, etc to quantify exactly what tangible value they bring to F1. Would they pass the same test to get into F1 right now according to their own nebulous, vague financial standards that are clearly artificial hurdles specifically imagined for the sole purpose of keeping new entrants out? And yep, the F1 grid gets an instant, massive upgrade the second Haas sells to Andretti.
  5. So all those very certain rumors were just more BS. Shocking. FIA reveals all 10 F1 teams met 2022 cost cap https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-reveals-all-10-f1-teams-met-2022-cost-cap/10516548/ And there's this: Andretti Autosport rebrands entire operation to Andretti Global https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/andretti-autosport-rebrands-operation-to-global/10516702/ Andretti tease ‘big things in store’ after rebrand announcement https://www.planetf1.com/news/andretti-rebrand-tease-big-things/
  6. Yeah I'm pretty sure Wally would kick Bob's teeth in over the traveshamockery he's made of that once-proud announcing position.
  7. Yeah, this is pretty much where I am. Yeah it became a problem in F1 the last couple of years as fans in the stands were lighting off a shit ton of orange flares in support of the reigning champ, Max Verstappen. It got to be such a nuissance and a safety hazard for the fans that they cracked down on them. But for some reason we thought it was a good idea.
  8. All of this. I'd look up for a replay of that awesome play and get some stupid shit instead, and yeah, fuck midday games in Texas in August or September. That's some stupid shit, and the money we'd lose by making it a night game simply can't be that big of a deal for the University of Texas.
  9. Yeah it's brutal. Just brutal. "Rice has the ball, and it's third and TEN!!!" "That's ANOTHER Texas first down!!!!". JFC. Fuck that guy. Nobody likes that fucker's god awful announcing style. Whose compromising photos does he have?
  10. LOL at Torger. Geez. this guy. Wolff: Verstappen record irrelevant, only for Wikipedia https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/38321795
  11. True, but what I've always heard is that it's when the car is bad that you'll typically see the biggest differences between teammates. I think Stroll's true level, at least in terms of pace, is somewhere between what we're seeing this year and what he's shown in the past vs Vettel. I also think maybe that wrist hurt him more than he's letting on and really hurt him in terms of missing time in testing. He's known for being fairly quick in the wet, but that hasn't shown up at all this year. I've been wondering if that's related to the wrist.
  12. Alonso's utter destruction of Stroll really puts into perspective Stroll outscoring Vettel at AM. Or who knows, m aybe it's the other way around.
  13. It's like you're inside my head lol.
  14. It's safe if they drive at the speed limit, and yeah, that would be another effective way to penalize people.
  15. X number of positions dropped in the final classification. Been saying it for years. Seems like it'll never change though, sadly, and 5s is basically the default penalty no matter what you do and whether you completely fucked someone's race or not. And yeah, Albon at the end was absolutely fucking killing me.
  16. Yeah I finished it on F1TV, but I went back and checked again later and like Anton said, it had magically fixed itself. Just the best DVR ...
  17. Yeah that's the only time it's cut anything short for me. I was surprised.
  18. Yeah that's the only drawback for me. When I want to watch Stars or Astros games it's been a stream or nothing for me. But then just the other day my neighbor across the street logged me into her mom's DirecTV account, which should solve both problems. /csb
  19. Yep. Best DVR I've ever seen, by far.
  20. wood

    Fuck Big 12 refs

    Yeah that was about as bad of a non-call on DPI as I've ever seen. We weren't sure they were B12 refs at the time. Guess they were, so I guess that makes a lot more sense of it.
  21. Oof. Couple of big upsets on the men's side early on . Rooting for Avery Drost to get a win with Phil.
