  1. I love reading these screenshots, but they consistently surprise me with their cognitive pretzels. If you want to argue that it is too early in the season to really understand how good/bad teams are, fine. That, in itself, is not that unreasonable. But they have an astounding ability to selectively apply it when it suits their narrative ("mean tu sucks") and to ignore it when it doesn't ("Georgia is going to beat them...regardless of how they looked against Kentucky...in fact, now that I think about it, Kentucky probably beats them too"). Also, if you ignore the matchup between the schools, they play the same # of ranked teams that we do. In fact, we've both already played a team that was ranked in the top 10. We all know how those turned out, so maybe one of these teams has actually proved a little bit already. So maybe our schedule is at least as hard as theirs. Also, last one...the "noise at pyle field" will trip us up. Just like it did @Alabama. And @Michigan. Oh, and @pyle field the last couple of visits (and our overall record there). Whatever...rent free...
  2. 55-13. 365 for Arch
  3. Live, it sure looked like Sainz came across into Checo. The replays I've seen make it look more 50/50. I do think LeClerc was intentionally backing Checo into Sainz, to distract Checo some, and to give Sainz a chance to get 2 Ferraris on the podium. Which reminds me...Bernie is amazing, but the rest of this crew is pretty pathetic. Often a lap or 2 late in noticing a strategy. Don't seem to be aware of lap time changes to know if driver A sped up, or driver B slowed down for some reason. And for fuck's sake, can you not scream for every single update? "I'm watching the pit lane, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE WHOLE TEAM IS COMING OUT FOR THIS STOP!!!!! I JUST NEED TO CONFIRM, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE CHANGING ALL FOUR TIRES THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!! YES THEY ARE!!!!! THEY MUST THINK THIS WILL HELP THEM IN THE RACE, BUT WE'LL HAVE TO WATCH AND SEE HOW THIS STRATEGY PLAYS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
  4. How the fuck is anyone supposed to take these people seriously?
  5. Horns: 56 Those guys: 6 490 295/195/0
  6. Getting into policy details is risky - especially if both parties aren't sharing details. Any policy includes weighing a benefit against a cost. The minute she shares details, the "airwaves" will be flooded with the trumplicans amplifying the cost and ignoring the benefit. The difference, to me, is that I believe she has policy plans, and she is being smart about when & how to share those details. I don't believe he has a plan (I also don't believe he'll have one "in two weeks" lol). He got off too easy on killing the copartisan border bill. He got off too easy on long disproven claims of winning the election. He got off too easy on his plan to pardon Jan 6 insurrectionists. I agree with others that maybe she had to chose her shots and not unload everything at once. She skirted around saying this outright, but if he really cared about this country, you'd see a lot different behavior. All his actions reinforce the fact that he only cares about himself. Overall, I think she did amazing. It's nearly impossible to win a debate with an opponent who isn't constrained by facts & reality, but she managed to do it.
  7. Fuck. I’ve been of the opinion that AM would continue to be a joke as long as junior was driving…but daddy may be about to prove that money can fix anything.
  8. Chapter 2 was great! while playing, we thought we were missing the “curative” cards, but an internet search this morning says they look just like the “injury” cards, so maybe they were hidden in with those. I’ll have to check when I get home. Only complaint is the setup and cleanup takes quite a bit of time. I’ve got to get this game table done.
  9. I'm sure it's been said before, but the goalposts at pyle field must be on rollers, because they spend a hell of a lot of time moving them.
  10. Agreed with everything posted above. Earlier tends to be better, as folks start to disappear as it heats up. For exotics: just about any event/show at Petrol Lounge is amazing. For us, COTA is a bit far for a car show, so we tend to check out Pistons in the Park...good size show as well.
  11. First encounter set up. Spoilered in case anyone expects to play and wants to maintain the mystery. A lot of set up time. (Definitely need to get that gaming table done). Thankfully, it looks like our second-hand all-in version had some of the prep work done and nothing was missing. The app adds greatly to the atmosphere. Chapter one story and encounter finished, with 2 of our 4 characters KO’d at the end. Took a good 4 hours, but well spent. Had to refer to the rules book pretty often, so I’d expect us to get better and not need that quite so much. Really liked the encounter portion…the story was “good” I’d say. Hope to get into chapter 2 this weekend.
  12. Texas - 35 Michigan - 16 Michigan Rec: 161
  13. lol, yeah, I saw that as well. And they all agreed that it was such a 'tough environment', but they couldn't back it up with any stats...just the ranking from a video game...
  14. Should be a good weekend!!!
  15. Fuck yes. Was actually just coming to check what time he was committing today, and instead get to start Friday with good news right off the bat. hook ‘em!!!!
  16. From the corporate cafe in NW Austin. Fight!!!!
  17. I've heard of this "Elko Era" - that's that genetically modified combination of E-coli & Cholera
  18. I love that this thing they are so proud of actually had little/no impact on the outcome of the game, and was kind of petty, honestly. The only surprise for me is that they won.
  19. No kidding - welcome back! lol Assume Madueke will be sold now - can't keep that kind of performance around the club for long... <edit> Also, he must have given some Ted Lasso-like halftime speech...
  20. Same. But here's a preview: "something something homeless camps" "something something dildos" "something something hippies" "something something $$" "something something we'd rather have a hardworking 3 star" bwahahahhaha!!!!
  21. Hell yes... Hook 'em!!!
  22. Yes sir! Hook 'em!!!
  23. yup. Can't keep up with who we have or how/where they're going to play on the field. Don't need to get to know them, as they, and/or the manager, will surely be gone soon, replaced by others I don't know...
  24. Looks like we're a few years behind the rest of you, but we had a chance to play Scythe on our family vacation at the end of June. Was able to pick up a barely-used set with some expansions last week, and we've had several game nights since. Good stuff. Wife ixnayed the "lets build a game table over the summer" idea, as too much of a non-family time-suck while the kids were all home, so I'm just now getting started on that. Actually picked up a (free) 3.5X6 desk/table that I'll be using as the base.
