  1. Pasatiempo trip report! Had to go to Santa Cruz for my daughter’s roller derby tourney. Had heard excellent things but the price was exorbitant. Lucky for me, right after the Western Intercollegiate they close the course for four days for maintenance. After that, they offer a significant discount for the next 13 days. I paid $220 to walk and rent a push cart, normally would be $425. The GM assured me it would be very playable and it was indeed! Was cart path only as the main difference, which I didn’t care about. Greens had a light top dressing but rolled plenty pure. View from 1 tee with the bay in the background. Only a 440y par 4! Hit a decent drive but overdrew and had to punch under trees. Got down in 3 after that for a solid bogey. 3 tee. No prob just a par 3 playing 200+ uphill and into a breeze, surrounded by bunkers with flag tucked on a shelf in the very back. Hit driver and was just left and short of the left bunker. Hit a solid pitch that didn’t quite make the top shelf, came back down to 35 feet and sadly 3 putted. 8 tee with 9 and clubhouse in background. Good: made a sick up and down from the short left bunker. Bad: it was for double. Did have an easy par on 9, the only one of the day ooooof. 15 tee. Apparently McKenzie viewed this and 12 at Augusta as analogues. Came up in fried egg in short leftmost bunker. Hit an excellent out to 9 feet but missed. View from facing and beside 16 green, one of the most amazing and severe I’ve ever played. Would love to just chip and putt around on this for days. The rare closing par 3. Thinned my tee shot but jusssssst covered the bunker and released to the middle. Literally no idea how you stop it near the flag tho, had 12 feet back from front edge and couldn’t have done much better. 103, 7 fairways, 2 GIR, 38 putts. Currently have it as my #3 all time course. It was a SOB of a hilly walk, my app said I covered 32 flights. Had cramping on front of my leg just above my ankle that night. I can’t really justify $400+ anywhere but I’d drive a few hours just to play it again at $225 for sure.
  2. Run it
  3. sheeet go in the water, water go in the cup, water go in the stomach, sheet come out your butt sheet go in the water, water go in the cup, sheeet go in the stomach, blood come out your butt
  4. 8-9 wins against the 2025 schedule would mean OU is one of the 10 best teams in the country.
  5. Payments sent. Congrats all!
  6. Pending a full audit by PriceWaterhouseCooper, it’s gonna mean $375 to you. GG!
  7. I actually encountered him 3 times in the wild in like a 9 months span back in the early-mid 2000s. ColoVista golf course, bowling, and on a plane.
  8. Undertaker started out in World Class in Dallas as Texas Red. He was in WCW as Mean Mark. But was Undertaker for 30 years.
  9. Should be Creighton. I am considering letting people use a team they already picked for a WC if I run this again next year.
  10. The leaderboard on the sheet is fully functional now. You can choose to sort the points column Z to A to see the current standings. I'll be updating it mostly in live time now, except the late games tonight, kid is playing roller derby and then I'll be watching the OU game on DVR.
  11. Jesus fucking Christ Louisville
  12. Here is the link to the rosters. Unfortunately the leaderboard won't be working for a bit, takes some work to link it all up and I'm traveling so dunno when for sure. 31 entries, $775 pool. $375, 250, 150. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19QKpPAG5FkCqOBF6X-96lESy09z057V3fCICHhmCghM/edit

For posterity, my selections: Florida Michigan St Texas Tech Arizona Clemson BYU St. Mary's Louisville Baylor Arkansas North Carolina Colorado St High Point Lipscomb Alabama St UC San Diego GL all!
  15. @Bronson-Tucker
  16. $ recd, can DM whatever you need bby plz
  17. I really need the Ride to Robert’s line of “I’m still running, but I’m not alone” to be “I’m still traveling, but I’m not alone”
  18. yes sir, as always can put "seeds" and please include user name but not March Madness etc
  19. Running this back, thread in the Basketball forum.
  20. Hey all, I'm also running the contest I ran last year, which isn't a pure bracket contest. Instead, you pick one team from every seed line, plus a wild card of your choice (so you pick 17 teams total). Scoring is 1 pt for a round of 64 win, 3 for a round of 32 win, 5 for a Sweet 16 win, 7 for an Elite 8 win, 9 for a Final Four win, and 11 for a natty. PLUS each win gets a bonus of the seed of the winning team. So say your 12 seed wins its first round game, you get 13 points (1 for the win, 12 for seed bonus). Note that the points don't start til the round of 64, so you can take, say, Texas, as your 11 but you don't get points for them beating Xavier in the First Four. (You can take Texas/Xavier as your 11 and you get whoever wins, you don't have to specify). $25 entry. Had 27 entries last year, hope we can pass that. DM me your picks by 12PM Eastern on Thursday, March 20. I have a Google Sheet I will send out with rosters and a live leaderboard, though I'm traveling to Seattle on Thursday and have a pretty extreme schedule through the next Thursday, so be patient.
  21. It’s easy top 5 for sure. Just go.
  22. I saw a response to this which was “At least Luka got a bag” which was A+
