  1. I understand that. It’s just not in his DNA. I’d like to think that as he gets “beyond 50” he realizes that and brings up someone that gets his playcalling duties that he can trust. For now it’s him and I’m okay with that.
  2. Impressive dude. Great coach. Haters can indeed fuck off.
  3. The Martian. It’s a movie I always stop to watch when scrolling. It’s fantastic beginning to end. Team America Matt Damon always cracks me up, but the dude was outstanding in this movie.
  4. Mach 1

    9-1

    I think it’s more we looked like shit for a good portion of that game while I thought Oregon looked better than Washington in theirs. Surprised WU pulled it out.
  5. Mach 1

    9-1

    JFC dude what is it with your constant shitting on the guy. He’s not perfect, no coach is, but we’re fucking 9-1 and moving in the right direction as a program. Did he pass on your invitation to the fucking tailgate.
  6. He didn’t wish injury more of a “that’s what you get for transferring,” when Neyor was hurt.
  7. I’m ashamed to admit he’s grown on me. Like a boil, that I’m watching to see if it expands.
  8. Listened to a podcast recently about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Nothing has changed with the Red Army. They threw infantry into a meat grinder without pause, carpet bombed the country with artillery, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians without care, atrocities, soldiers fragging, etc. Same with Chechnya. It's in their DNA, they can never be allowed back in the global community without some catyclismic change within Russia. What was interesting is how the war ended. Gorbachev opened up the news to allow Soviets to read about what was actually happening. The mothers of those killed went apeshit vocally and the pressue internally became too much to continue. The number of those killed? 15,000 over 8 years. We are now at what, 10x that in Ukraine in 2? I understand Putin has locked down dissent, and he's the polar opposite of Gorbachev, but that kill rate cannot be sustainable for Russia without some serious internal blowback that affects this war continuing as is.
  9. Why was it time? Ignore if personal just interested as I’m putting the Mach 1 up for sale shortly. I enjoyed the work to put it together. But having it sit and not used doesn’t seem right.
  10. Why is the dove the symbol of peace? It should be the pillow. It’s soft, has feathers, but without that sharp beak thing that can poke your eyes out.
  11. You should. Buddy of mine became a citizen, auditorium got dusty. I’ll paraphrase what the judge overseeing ceremony said: My great grandparents came from Ireland with nothing. They worked hard to give my grandparents a better life. In turn they also worked hard to give my parents a better life. I then watched as my parents worked to provide me, an only child, the education needed to attend law school, the first in our family to attend college. I consider it an honor to stand here before you, as a United States judge, to welcome you as Americans. I’m confident you will also follow the same path as my great grandparents and work to ensure your children’s children may stand where I am today.
  12. Didn’t some dipshit put a banner up saying “Sark can we win despite him” Dumbass @immamac
  13. Lean toward your mother here. You seem like a good, sharp dude. You’ve been given great advice here, if you want to damn the torpedoes and move ahead, Godspeed. Keep that checkbook stocked. And most importantly, post pics.
  14. The QB suck is the hand, the OL suck is the glove. They are inextricably intertwined. That pinky ring there in the shape of a turd is Tommy Rees. I’ve been reading TideFans as a game accompaniment. Welcome back to Earth motherfuckers.
  15. That was fun. Mildly embarrassed this morning. We watched the game at some friends that are Alabama fans. I got pretty drunk and by the second half every time we scored I acted like I had two six shooters at the hip and fired at them like that Miami dude in the Cotton Bowl tunnel. Oh well at least I didn’t pass out and shart myself. Next time. What the fuck as it with all the balls bouncing off or through the hands? Had to be almost ten times.
  16. I liked to sneak into my older brother’s room to read his National Lampoons. One of the letters stumped me: Hey, my National Lampoon came in the mail, and it took an hour for the mailman to clean out his bag! Figured it out later.
  17. Thanks for the updates keep ‘em coming.
  18. Hey something is fucked up. It restarts around 5 minutes in over and over. Desktop and mobile.
  19. That was very entertaining. And by entertaining I mean laughing at the knowledge NU would fuck this up while Rhule was shown sweating and licking his lips, unable to stop the inevitable. THANK YOU COLLEGE FOOTBALL
  20. Just to put a cherry on the shit sundae that is private school tuiton, an anecdote: Wife's uncle taught at Loyola Baltimore. Had a conversation a few years back about tuition before he retired. I asked about the increasing cost of college tuition and he said, "It's real, we just increased tuition X percent." I said something naive along the lines of "Wow, costs must really be affecting the university." His response shocked me: "Not really. Our peer schools increased their tuition so we had to match so as not to seem less presitigous." He wasn't an adminstrator, so could be bullshit, but I suspect there's a level of truth there.
  21. Yep. U Chicago really nice. She wasn't feeling it for the "whole college experience" social aspect, but they don't fuck around when it comes to job placement. UNC - didn't visit since only 20%? out of state allowed William Mary - I thought it was great, she thought everyone she met was weird. And they noted one of the social things to do was take a shuttle to an outlet mall. Nope. We all liked Wake alot BTW. And UVA.
