  1. Do kegel exercises like crazy. Who is your surgeon?
  2. The only thing this thread does is invoke the thought “who’s the giant windbag full of shit?”
  3. As usual, analysis paralysis has set in. The group has also grown by four. Since coming in from Denver airport, we've ruled out Steamboat as too far up and back down to Winter Park. So now the options are: 1. Spend 3 days in Golden, then the next 4 in Winter Park. 2. Spend 3 days in Grand Lake, then the next 4 in Winter Park. 3. Spend 3 days in Breckenridge, then the next 4 in Winter Park. We could probably deal a bit with crowds. We have several folks who aren't all that mobile/active (either old or have infants or health shaky( so strolling thru a town would be appreciated. The other folks are very active: hiking, rafting, paddleboarding, etc. The input from everyone has been incredible. It seems like any of these three options would work.
  4. Oregon hung with Washington the whole game and Washington appears to be very good. Stop being goober homers.
  5. Right now OU fans are on top of the world. They go out and get Venables and in a year he beats Texas, and Riley gets a beat down from Notre Dame. It’s nirvana. But something doesn’t quite feel right. Riley is definitely starting to look like he doesn’t know how to put it all together for a title run, but he may just be waiting for a Jerry Jones call, or need another year to get more defensive talent in the door. And Venables may have just gotten lucky by his team playing perfect and Texas making too many mistakes. Next few weeks should be interesting.
  6. I strayed away from watching the Spurs much the last two years since they were dumping in preparation for rebuilding. I tuned in early last week to see what’s been assembled. What a young, strange roster. It was entertaining to watch Wemby. I’m not quite sure what I was seeing. Is it a roster that’s going to grow up together and in year 3 contend for a title? Or, is it a half assembled roster that needs to ship out a few young guys in exchange for a veteran point guard and strong scorer? I can’t get a sense on the plan.
  7. Tennessee looked terrible. A&M has some solid talent on defense. And they still blew that game. Excellent.
  8. Uh oh. This may be the nail in Jimbo’s coffin. We need him to stick around for 6 more years.
  9. I ran across a really interesting congressman from North Carolina on Tik Tok that I really liked. I thought to myself, “Finally! A Republican who seems pretty honest, clear, and direct”. I was going to recommend him to this thread as a great speaker candidate. Alas, I realized Jeff Jackson is a Democrat. Of course.
  10. I just realized Gary Danielson is doing the color. He’s 72. I thought he was dead. He’s okay.
  11. Man it sure seems like these refs are hosing Tennessee. Very noticeable.
  12. This is true. My “give a shit” factor had been been steadily declining every year for the last decade and this was the first game that really really mattered.
  13. I love how the OP thought his post was perfectly clear.
  14. Man, I am struggling to shake this loss. It’s been almost as bad as the 2009 title game. It’s because it was OU that beat us. I hate to think OU yet again made a better coaching hire after Texas hired a new coach. I refuse to believe Venables doesn’t suck. But man I am sick and tired of losing to OU 75%+ of the time, especially when we were lined up for a title run.
  15. I can’t see one possible good reason for vouchers. It’s a welfare giveaway for rich people.
  16. I scrolled thru this thread but couldn’t find the answer. What is the truly “legitimate” reason republicans say they want vouchers? Because the obvious reason is so that their rich constituents will vote for them. I can’t see any other good reason for this.
  17. Ha that’s why I said disproportionate response and not annihilation. Of course annihilation works. No one is left to be the enemy.
  18. After being sympathetic to Israel initially, I’m rapidly starting to change my viewpoint based upon real time events. With more bombs being dropped on civilians in Gaza in a day than in a month in Afghanistan by the US, and a declaration that 1 million Palestinian people must leave, and a ground force about to do who knows what, it’s becoming clear that the atrocities of Hamas are starting to be matched or exceeded by Israel. There is no way Israel will be able to ferret out Hamas terrorists from the population without wholesale killing. The West can’t just stand by and let this happen. The response is going too far. It’s not proportionate. And most importantly, disproportionate responses never ultimately work. It just solidifies the determination of the enemy to resist even more for longer.
  19. I find it helpful to remind myself the difference between people vs organizations in this conflict. Israel government policy and actions are clear, and in many cases unacceptable. Hamas policy and actions are horrific and deserve immediate response. The beliefs and actions of “the majority” of Palestinian and Israeli citizens is less clear, as I’m sure it is for many. That makes it impossible to take a strong stand for either side, at least it does for me. But, there’s zero doubt the attacks on Hamas are going to be historic, and they should be.
  20. It’s awesome that Israel told 1 million Palestinian people to vacate North Gaza. Now all that will be left are the Hamas terrorists to easily shoot. Such an orderly war.
  21. I rode it in July of 2022. No Bigfoot, but at least four Karen’s, all in the dining car.
  22. How does Israel find Hamas members/fighters? Won’t they just blend into the population? Won’t many leave with innocent civilians? I don’t understand how this ground invasion will actually work.
  23. It’s math dudes. Republicans does not equal to maga. Maga is a subset of republicans. So just because someone votes Republican does not necessary mean maga. You can say the whole Republican Party is maga but it’s not. Approximately .00234543 % of the Republican Party is not maga.
  24. An interesting interview of the Palestinian Ambassador to Britain on BBC. it’s on TikTok. I’m sure it can be found elsewhere. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8rvxc6n/
