  1. Loving the home kit for Charlotte this season. Hopefully we don't suck this year unlike the first two, good start at least.
  2. Man, 1-0 final but Canes-Panthers last night was one of the best games all year. You usually don't get that level of intensity between two teams until the playoffs anymore.
  3. Have to think it's happening if/when Arizona's last ditch effort falls through. Could also be something to the smoke of the league eventually moving to 36. Either way Houston got screwed in the WHA-NHL merger and more than deserves this shot if it happens.
  4. Can confirm on this. I've been focusing pretty hard on going more for more reps and fewer sets to hit the target number of reps rather than trying to push personal bests since I started back up and it's had some pretty solid results. Pure strength will come as well to an extent as we go but it's not going to be anything like the rapid progress we'd have seen when we were in our 20s, and that's not what we should be going for anyway. I started up getting serious about it rather than just dicking around on my rowing machine (which, TBH, is still pretty great) around the start of CFB season last year and went from ~240 to 208.5 as of my weigh-in earlier this week. That blew past what I had initially set as my target for the one year mark (215) in about 7 months, so debating if I should try to chase down my weight from when I swam this year, though I'll probably have a hell of a time hitting it (185).
  5. More than a bit annoyed that I couldn't make it myself this year. A friend of mine won his 2nd in GTD, but I was stuck on-call in the office.
  6. We did get to bust out our lyrics for Sweet Caroline during one of the TV timeouts at least, that's always fun. I don't get the horns down shit, you're not our rivals. I mean fuck, only time during my lifetime that we've played y'all in anything that matters before joining the conference was in a random NCAA tournament game. Classic of a game at that. Maybe I'm just officially an old now or something but I never got it. Our rivals are Pitt, VT, Louisville, Maryland and for those of us old enough add Cuse and the Pedos. Some of our fans need to act like it.
  7. That fake FG was perfection. Love the balls on NB to make that call
  8. I feel ya man but pretty sure that would just make shit even worse for me. I spent Christmas Eve puking my guts out. Quick way to be down another 5lbs at least, though not the preferred method for getting there.
  9. Game has been sloppy as fuck but at least I have some damn good seats.
  10. No fucking shock there. Can't dare to make the CFP selections look suspect. I still think Bama should have been the ones on the outside looking in and when the SECSECSEC choads like Finebaum whined about it the loss, at home, to a team that got in ahead of them can be thrown back in their face. Instead they took a "well actually the regular season doesn't mean shit, deal with it" approach against all logic.
  11. Was pretty solid at WVU, mind you he also had Will Grier to work with at QB. Year before WVU was 50th in scoring / 17th in YPG. Those 2 years they were 22nd scoring / 20th YPG, and 10th scoring / 8th YPG.
  12. Arrest made in regards to the Johnson incident: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-67419951
  13. I'm legitimately not sure what impresses me more: How bad their drafting outside the first round has been for the past 20 years, or the fact that literally everyone in that timespan that's been taken outside the first round that's been worth a damn had to do it through a different organization (Marino, Gustafson, Reider). Skinner might break that trend but he might not get the chance long-term if he keeps having to play behind that dumpster fire defense.
  14. LET'S GO!
  15. and it's a red flag, no shock
  16. Not usually. They might make an exception for getting bowl eligible considering how shit we've been the last few years though. Personally I'd save it for beating some Sooner ass next week. And TBF they recruited the hell out of me as well as a non athlete. Pretty sure they were doing it for anyone with a pulse at the time that wasn't a complete dumbass... Don't get me wrong I'm still a dumbass, just not a complete one.
  17. I simultaneously miss that shit and am glad I'm too old for that shit.
  18. WVU off to a fast start tonight. Greene is proving to be an absolute baller, he's going to be fun to watch next year if the O-Line is worth a damn.
  19. the loss of Farmageddon as an annual showdown sucks, though at least we get the Riot Bowl 3 of 4.
  20. And the bullshit the Sens pulled with the Dadonov trade in violation of his NTC a couple years back just cost them a future first round pick, and their GM his job. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/ottawa-senators-forfeit-first-round-pick-dadonov-trade-1.7015192
  21. not gonna lie, I just ordered the senior version of that shirt since it comes with the wrist protection as well. Even in bullshit B-C beer league games I've seen some rather nasty incidents though nothing close to what happened to Johnson. There's no reason not to play with that level of protection if it's available and not cumbersome.
  22. Rams giving them a game so far, 13-13 at half. No idea why but I figured AFA would blow them out.
  23. Safe to say I'm in a better mood this week. Set a couple lift marks I haven't hit since undergrad and WVU stomped UCF on the road.
  24. Pinto, the hell you doing man? also, LOL: https://twitter.com/McguirePetrov/status/1717578251550265419 edit: how tf do I embed a tweet here?
  25. Yep, every single Cup winner since that Caps cup win has been just stupid levels of deep, especially on defense. The Oilers and Leafs will get a ridiculous amount of hype every year, but until they actually take depth and defense seriously they're also-rans to me. I just can't take them seriously until they show that they have the ability to play lock-down defense. It's not 1985 anymore, you can't win a cup with teams built the way theirs are.
