  1. I actually was having a conversation over the weekend with a professor that teaches at UH Manoa from Germany. She got her PhD in Electrical Engineering in Finland and I told her what I'm doing for a masters. We talked about the nazis and her grandfather was a party member if I remember right. She finds America to be a pretty odd place overall right now.
  2. Did you bring along some Japanese tourists to clean up after you?
  3. We’ve hit the rainy season here and the temps are going to really go down. I may see some high temperatures in the 70’s soon. It’s hard living in a place that gets so cold like this.
  4. The Art Briles Family Rape Palace.
  5. No kidding on that. This is a huge deal. I have been to games there (Was at the 2008 game when Daingerfield ended their 10 year home winning streak with a team full of sophomores.) Coach Elliott is built like Sgt. Slaughter. I mean this is a pretty big thing for that town to deal with. Almost nothing shocks me about people, but this is something that has to be dealt with harshly. Dad can get the benefit of the doubt unless evidence shows he knew and did nothing. You just cannot have people like this around kids.
  6. Awesome man! I also like the John Wick inspired sign from the person beside y'all. Tik Tok TFG.
  7. I am a non-violent person, but if someone told me I could hit that guy upside the head with a tire iron, well, Ted would have to get some reconstructive surgery on that ghoulish looking face of his.
  8. The hurdle is mental. I have no doubt about that. I have never been a big defender of coaches. When it happens during one game over and over I will say it’s the coach. When it happens throughout the season it’s the players because you know these issues are addressed in practice. Dillingham is a really, really good coach and I would not trade him for anyone. The offensive line has had issues this year and Leavitt, who at times can be flat out amazing like the 4th down conversion, can also still make some really dumb decisions the closer we get to the end zone. Players just have to make plays. Leavitt made enough plays today, but it’d be nice to win a game by double digits because your offense is putting up 7 every trip instead of 3. We have the best QB, WR and I’d argue the best groups of DE’s in the conference yet every single big game is a rock fight because of not finishing drives.
  9. It's not got a whole lot to do with the play calling in the red zone. This is on the guys on the field to figure it out. It's been a season long issue, but it's on the players to make some big plays in those situations. Last year you could just give it to Skattebo and he did his thing. Brown is good, but not that level of good.
  10. I never bought a new TV once I moved. I watch everything on my laptop. Kinda got used to it and found I don’t miss a TV. You are probably correct though about how these apps would work better on a TV.
  11. Love Defector! Best subscription I have ever had. Used to go to their birthday celebrations and live podcasts they did when I lived in NYC. Great group of writers. There has never, ever been a player even remotely like this guy. There is really not enough superlatives to adequately say just how good he is.
  12. My guys will win against Tech IF Leavitt has a big game and can make 4 or 5 good plays on the run. Big ask from a guy whose wheels aren't at 100 percent, but do what you gotta do I guess. I don't blame the defense for last week's rout and I think Dillingham punted that game since he knew he had no QB. If Leavitt has a big game then that means Tyson does as well. If the ground game can just hit 150 overall that'll be enough to win as well. We also owe them for last year's loss. If we lose we lose, but I feel that our defense will hopefully get enough pressure from the ends to keep it close going into the 4th quarter. @Iceman good luck and Fork'em!
  13. Israeli Nazis. What a time to be alive.
  14. I think what we’re figuring out is that many of these stories are impossible to tell if they aren’t done in the form of mini-series/season. This is especially so when it’s a story about someone most of us know very little about.
  15. I never had any of these apps, but I would have done the same thing you did if I had been. I only have Britbox, AcornTV and PBS Masterpiece. Those apps are all worth it to have.
