  1. Yeah I don't get it. It's basically paying a bunch of money and going through a lot of hassle to watch the game on the jumbotron. You ain't seeing shit otherwise.
  2. Reason #eleventy bazillion and 86 why he shouldn't be calling plays.
  3. ... and a visor. Fuck every got damn visor-wearing football coach.
  4. The next game listed to stream on V+ is Thursday's game, so who has tomorrow night's game? Please tell me it isn't the fucking Mouse.
  5. I remember once on a Tuesday night I was wandering around 6th & heard some sweet sounds coming from 311. It was Stevie playing under an assumed name. Place wasn't even totally full. Paid my $5 or whatever & saw one of the best shows I've ever seen, to this day.
  6. Sigh ... I miss this. (just found this on a xitter thread about the decline of 'dirty 6th'. guess this is as good a place as anywhere to put it. if there's a better thread for it, please let me know)

    The Mo Bamba Song

    Yeah I ain't know nothin' 'bout music theory, but I sure do love it when someone like Miss St. or aggy is playing Mo Bamba in their house when we're playing 'em. You couldn't make this shit up.
  8. $100/month? They ain't getting that from me. I love watching sports more than most people, but nah, fuck that. I'll do something else with my time. They can go fuck themselves. I'm not a fucking moron.
  9. Yeah if someone is struggling to pass the ball, then by all means, keep the serve on 'em. In beach vball sometimes you can serve the weaker hitter or passer from the other team into a rhythm, actually helping them. That probably applies sometimes indoor as well. If they're passing the ball well, there's no point beating your head against the wall. Gotta be willing to change shit up if needed. As a player, I had a decent topspin jumpserve, but I got a ton of mileage out of changing shit up all the time, like a baseball pitcher. I did everything. Topspin jumper, standing topspin, cut serves, floater, varying pace, short/deep, serving from all across the serving line, serving from way off the line or right on it, crosscourt/down the line/up the middle, etc, etc. Anything to keep the other team from settling into a rhythm. And more often than not, that worked. I didn't see this match, but I've noticed we don't seem to have much variation in our serving. Semi-related csb: Once in the firefighter olympics state bvb tournament, we had this guy on the other team in the tank. It was July. Old rules, big court, sideout scoring. Grinding. He was hot, and he was fucked. We were cruising. We had gone undefeated in pool play, and this was like the third round of single elim. All we had to do was keep it on this guy, and we were through to the semis. My partner Alan knew the guy, and started feeling bad for him. He started serving the other guy instead, giving his friend a break and ltting him get into a rhythm setting for his partner, who was fresher and was a better hitter than him anyway. Crazy. Kept doing it. They ended up coming back to beat us like 18-16 or some shit. Fuck Alan. Never played with him again. Dipshit motherfucker. Wasted my fucking Saturday. /rant
  10. Aight? I dig and appreciate @SL Xpress's info. There's just usually more from different people.
  11. Sorry, couldn't see the game because fuck the Mouse. So, what were our key issues today?
  12. lmfao ...
  13. Clear as fucking day there. The ball doesn't come anywhere near the plane until both the ball and the ballcarrier are OB.
  14. Yep. Speaking of which ... y'all go take care of this assclown (aggy, I presume, judging by the lifted 4x4 he uses as his profile pic). I mean, we won, so it's all good, right? What a fucking idiot. There's more where that came from.
  15. Seriously, Clark? Yeah, I mean, how many times was Vandy even called for holding? Not many. If there's no consequence, they're just gonna keep doing it.
  16. Tbf they both saw it on the replay & pointed it out though.
  17. You're far too kind, imho. I think it's far more likely that they had an agenda to make sure Vandy lost by no more than 3.
