  1. Morton is average as fuck, surrounded by a badass defense, solid OL, and decent playmakers. Hammond is the backup, in name only. The team is better with him at the helm, and there are no 2 ways about it. Morton can go coach somewhere eventually. That should be his focal point.
  2. Little brown ale from Lone Pint on football day. Tasty alternative to my other Oktoberfests and bocks. the glass is for @Gil Bang
  3. I'd try that Kentucky KIlt though. '24 Willa Fresh Hop Sticky Hands for contrast, and my new discoveries in HOps-land( I know it isn't new for everyone else.)
  4. Six Wofford men’s basketball players that were ruled ineligible by the school for receiving “impermissible benefits” have been reinstated, according to the athletes’ attorney. On Thursday, The Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman reported that the unidentified players were allowed to use meal plans provided to students housed in dorms while living in off-campus apartments. The improper benefits ranged from $84 to $108 in value. Yet shortly thereafter, the NCAA public-relations department posted a quote-tweet response to a post on X aggregating the original report. Wofford had not made any announcement regarding players being deemed ineligible. Attorney Mark Peper — who's representing four of the players reportedly ruled ineligible, and seven players overall on the Wofford men's basketball roster — said in an interview with WYFF's Marc Whiteman that using the meal plans violated Wofford bylaws, not NCAA rules, and the players were never told the plans could not be used. The school fired men's basketball coach Dwight Perry and associate head coach Tysor Anderson last week for undisclosed reasons. Last season, the Terriers finished 19-16 and won the Southern Conference tournament to earn an automatic NCAA tournament berth. Wofford went on to lose to Tennessee in the first round. According to Peper, the six players were told by Wofford that they would be housed in upperclassmen dorms on campus. Five of them transferred from other schools. However, the players were placed in underclassmen dorms instead and subsequently rented an off-campus apartment. School officials were informed of the decision by Anderson. Five days after fall classes began at Wofford, the five athletes were told to break their lease to remain eligible. They did so on Sept. 3. Two weeks later, the players were reportedly informed that the NCAA had ruled them ineligible for using their on-campus meal plans while living off campus. In addition to regaining their eligibility with "no suspensions, no penalties, no repayment," according to Peper, the players want Perry and Anderson to be reinstated to their positions since the athletes transferred to Wofford to play for them. The question now is whether or not the coaches will get their jobs back since the players won't be penalized for any alleged violations. "Based on my investigation this week, there is nothing that indicates that prior to this meal plan off-campus miscommunication, Coach Perry was in no jeopardy of being removed as the head coach at Wofford," Peper told Whiteman. "I can only speak for my players, all of whom have said in no uncertain terms, both in writing and in meetings this week with various administrators, that they are here to play for Coach Perry," he added. With Perry's dismissal, Wofford men's basketball players have a 30-day window to enter the transfer portal under NCAA rules. Peper said the players he represents could explore entering the portal if Perry and Anderson do not get their jobs back. Assistant coach Drew Gibson was named the interim coach after Perry was dismissed. If the six players — or more — decide to transfer, that could leave Wofford unable to field a team two months before the 2025-26 season is scheduled to tip off on Nov. 8 versus George Mason.
  5. Paint it Black was my "Andy Dufresne- they can't take it from your head" song in Marine Corps basic training, so it's in there for me. Gimme Shelter is so unique though. It is probably my number one. You Can't Always Get What You Want's lyrics reminded a younger me not to get caught up on shit I didn't control. I'll put it at 3. They are a great band with which to play that game of what songs would you get rid of. Furk. Not many of them...
  6. El Maton Tidehaven 38 Ganado 12 Matchup of 2A heavyweights goes down with DII Tidehaven taking out defending DI State Champion Indians at Ganado. This leaves Tidehaven 4-0 and hands Ganado their first loss in 17 games going back to East Bernard early last season. Both will almost certainly be contenders in the postseason for 2025.
  7. Wordle 1,554 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  8. HPU- don't you argue with my being so wrong. Fuck off MLB. get it right.
  9. That explains Kansas City so much better...
  10. Would be a great rematch, but it wouldn't happen until Semis in the POs, right?
  11. Wordle 1,553 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  12. He'll likely have 700+ grandkids or so to keep him in check. Not that they'd ever be in the same city at the same time.
  13. Holy hell, which one of us kicked that?
  14. Beer drankin music. No ragrets.
  15. LOL. That image is killing me. It MIGHT still be Walker County there, but the stop about 10 -15 miles north of Huntsville.
  16. you need beer...and a fence.
  17. My cousin does an Oktoberfest party every year with about 130-150 people and a keg of this is solidly in the rotation. Good stuff!!!
  18. Is it on autodraft? Turn that shit off at the bank and I bet it stops.
  19. MLB hates fans who live closer to Denver and KC than to the Astros, but yeah, the bigger point is that there are still multiple platforms with which to get your sports fix that aren't through the namebrand media outlets. For now. And Star Wars content, y'all probably know that shit frontwards and backwards, but I wouldn't know where to start looking for it away from D+.
  20. I've done it for 6 years for baseball... for different reasons of course; but the execution would be similar.
  21. Send her a screen shot of missed calls from her on your phone. That is, if I engaged at all, would be my most likely response; which in my case would be for 2 brothers for whom our calls ALWAYS originate from my phone.
  22. Pretty much everyone NOT named the Chiefs or Eagles are fuck ups, by that measure. Or the Niners, but they didn't draft CMC either. The Panthers had to be elated to lose that albatross. Maybe the magic formula is to sign old RBs... it got Lamar over the hump.
  23. The Giants improved tremendously upon relieving themselves of Saquon Barkley from their roster. The Falcons fucked up by taking BIjan? I'm guessing they are filled with ragret.
