  1. Lord Farquad to the Giants is official.
  2. Wow, there is so much wrong with that. It’s actually scary.
  3. We have taken the shuttles the three times we have been. Twice from downtown and once from the Long Center. No one transportation is better than the other, so you may as well not have to mess with driving. Once on the bus either way, we moved without much wait. The line after the race to board the buses was the only wait we really had, and wasn’t bad. My kids absolutely loved it. It is a spectacle and it feels big, because it is. That energy is palpable throughout the crowd. I hope y’all have a great time.
  4. Seriously. If there was a market for those rings, I could retire.
  5. Agree, but the captaincy was absolutely a problem. Shipnuck's article above sums it up well. Europe was much more prepared analytically the past two years. Unfortunately for Keegan, the play of the US team on Sunday only shines a spotlight on the "what were you thinking?" line of questioning.
  6. RIP to former ‘Horns pitcher, Steve Cantu, who passed away yesterday. He was way too young.
  7. It will be interesting going forward. The guy that runs the premium Cal message board is some big tech guy and controls the narrative on the board. I have a friend whose son was on the team and we have plenty of instances where the Premium board was straight up lying and giving completely false information because the truth didn’t fit the narrative he wanted to push. The members take it as truth because they simply don’t know not to. Truly screwed up…but so is the football program.
  8. Gotta go with Tumbling Dice
  9. The last twenty minutes of A River Runs Through It are as beautiful as the end of any movie. He had great taste in his choices of films.
  10. It seems way too early in the season for a “neither team wants to win this” game, but NM and UCLA are in late season major disappointment form.
  11. Lil Nigel and CJ were on several recruiting trips together and ran track (although never raced each other somehow). Really nice kid and great parents who were fun to hang with. He is a kid North Shore needs to get more attention.
  12. My niece is a senior at Bates. Loves it. We are looking forward to going up for graduation in May.
  13. As a reader, I will paraphrase John Irving, "I wonder if people who complain about a work of fiction not being 'realistic' understand that what they really don't like is, plot." I get the complaint, but if you watch mysteries (especially serial mysteries that follow individuals solving murders) this is the number one thing that you need to let go of to enjoy. None of us would want to vacation in St. Marie in the Caribbean because over 100 people have been murdered there. But Death in Paradise has a strong audience.
  14. If we are going Dire Straits, gotta go here:
  15. There is a trademark/patent attorney on here but I am struggling to remember his handle. He mentioned it a few weeks ago. I will see if I can find it in one of the Surly college kids threads or travel thread. Sorry for my crappy memory.
