  1. Spurrier seems to enjoy talking shit when he knows it will get a reaction. Based on a few comments on this board he may have picked the right target. UT has a ton of money, great academic reputation, hot women, and is joining the best CFB conference. Perhaps disregard the intentional troll attempts.
  2. I think part of NUs motivation for leaving was getting into a more stable conference where their future was secure. Can you imagine what their situation would be currently if still part of the Big12? Would they be any more desirable than ISU or Kansas to conferences now?
  3. My feeling is the bold would be the goal in a sense. Add FSU, Clemson, NC, and another and the SEC is basically Tier 1 CFB. The NIL money and brand prestige would be enormous and most major recruits would flock there. Every other conference would be tier 2 CFB over time. To prevent this the B1G would either need merge with the PAC or raid the PAC and ACC to form another Tier 1 Super Conference. Think of it like the proposed European Super League (soccer) where the most valuable brands got together and determined they didn't want to share any of the revenue or recruiting advantages with smaller clubs. It didn't succeed because the founders didn't understand the public well enough. The American public could equally hate the idea of CFB being basically the top 40-50 largest brands as well. If not, I could see a scenario where CFB is two mega conferences and anyone not in them are similar to FBS schools today.
  4. I'm guessing the SEC doesn't stop at Texas and OU. In time, they will raid the ACC for their strongest brands too and form a super conference. Unless the rest of CFB brands are ok with being relegated to a lower tier they will have to respond. The B1G will have to do one of the options you discussed above.
  5. This is correct, sorry my initial post was unclear.
  6. Nah, just my spirit animal on cheat days
  7. I've heard this is the case but no guarantee it will get all the way back to previous levels. Additionally, the transisition process supposedly is not very fun.
  8. Disclaimer - Not a clinician and relatively new to researching this. That said my understanding is that by using TRT your body wont produce Testosterone in any significant amount anymore. You become reliant on an external source. I've heard of some people trying Clomid Monotherapy which is meant to help your body naturally produce more Testosterone (topping off the tank) but the results I've found appear to be pretty mixed.
  9. I suspect that is the case but before shutting down my natural testosterone production and committing to a life of injections I wanted to exhaust my other options. I could drink a lot less, drop 10lbs, exercise differently, and improve my nutrition. Unfortunately, I'm not significantly overweight, eat well, and work out regularly currently. I imagine my efforts will result in slightly improved numbers without making a material impact on the symptoms
  10. Not on TRT but used Marek Health to get my labs drawn. They will write a prescription and send to local LabCorp. When my my PCP didn't want to help me I did a bit of research and figured out what labs I wanted to screen initially. My free T is lower than I would like so trying to raise naturally. If that doesn't work plenty of telehealth clinics online to provide good service. This is of course not covered by insurance.
  11. Pretty much this. Got a bike that had digital resistance controls, a cadence monitor, and a heart rate monitor. The first one is the only reason I spent $799 on a bike. I can follow along on 90% of the workouts and pay $14 or less a month. Good app at that price.
  12. A very compelling closing statement in the sales pitch.
  13. Perhaps I needed a sarcasm emoji. NU is a bad house in a very desirable neighborhood currently. They need to get an above average contractor to fix that bitch up. They will likely never have the house tOSU has or UM has but upper third for the neighborhood is achievable. The current contractor fucking stuff up better watch his ass with this move.
  14. Some early speculation Lincoln native and former NU player Ed Stewart will be next A.D. Ed is the Big 12's executive associate commissioner for football currently. Let the NU to Big 12 rumors swirl.

    Been staring at these for like 5 mins trying to determine if I like them or not. Look a lot better than some of the stuff I've seen us wear over the years I suppose.
  16. My PCP basically laughed me out of the office. Said my symptoms were just a part of getting old and he wouldn't bother ordering any tests. He is no longer my PCP. I ordered the labs on my own and trying to determine if free T is low enough to warrant a trip to see a specialist? Trying to avoid the Specialty Clinics as I am pretty sure they will prescribe anyone regardless of results.
  17. Just had my labs done and not sure how to interpret the results. 42 5'8 (the only person below 6'2 on Surly I believe) 165 work out 5 times a week, eat clean, sleep plenty. My total appears to be ok but Free seems low. I am not that educated on this at the moment and PCP isn't interested in helping. Testosterone, Serum 556 ng/dL Free Testosterone (Direct) 10.6 pg/mL Estradiol 17.6 pg/mL Sex Horm Binding Glob, Serum 39.8 nmol/L

    Mexican players and fans not handling adversity well, shocking.

    Win a WC? I'd be happy with us showing 2002 WC results
  20. Cruising around on a scooter with your pooch riding shotgun sounds pretty awesome to me. Would love to see the final result.

    Perhaps risking injuring one of your star players while f'in about in the snow isn't a great idea. Save that shit for your MLS teammates

    Thank you Mane

    Thanks, I forgot Man U was in the top 4 again. Had gotten used to seeing them further down the table. I prefer it that way.

    So if the scores remain the same then Liverpool 3rd, Leicester 4th, and Chelsea 5th? If so, Chelsea and Man U can still qualify for CL next year by winning the CL and Europa league finals? And I believe CL rules only permit 5 teams from one league to qualify? So in that scenario Leicester even when finishing 4th wouldn't be in CL next year? Do I have this right?
