  1. I noticed this today on that same walk from Crystals to Cosmo - it was like 11 am and this tall chick in tiny spandex shorts popped out of nowhere. Thankfully she zeroed in on two dudes walking a bit ahead of me. They didn't seem interested but she kept talking/walking with them. This was a brief trip for work. Cosmo wasn't crowded on Monday night, so it was nice to get some $15 craps tables. Slot machines are too damn complicated, I'm sure I'm not the only older adult to say this nowadays. I won over $100 on Wheel of Fortune but I have no idea what happened. Too many lines going on. Sitting at airport gate now. Fucking redeye delayed 90 minutes for maintenance.
  2. Ewers unofficially with 134, all passing. A quick scan I think Futureman won with 149 yards (15 over). I had 116 (18 under). I would donate my winnings back into the pot, or to Surly, whatever. I was being harshly pessimistic, not expecting an injury, much less after carving Bama up for a few drives.
  3. First sign I saw said "Penis-Vagina-Penis-Vagina"
  4. @FartingDreamer just saw this, I don't know for sure but I really doubt it. You can only enter/exit from the stadium side and there are staff around just keeping an eye on things. You could probably pull it off with like a bottle in your jacket, but not a cooler or anything.
  5. I've been to a few games there, agree with much of above. I was never overly impressed with the noise, but it's still a great venue. The Moshofsky Center next door does make for a good spot to sit down and rest, but don't expect much from the food/drink. The Cooler is a great pre-game spot like 10 minutes walk to the north of the stadium. Really good breakfast food if you get an early kickoff. Off the Waffle is another top notch breakfast, there are a couple locations not far. Voodoo Doughnut is something to check off the list. UO campus is pretty nice too. Just an all around great CFP spot
  6. I definitely don't miss having to scroll past all the posts fetishizing about the gun specs, saying shit like "Luckily he was too dumb to modify with a Gx3 amulet, that would have taken out the whole parade in half the time. I only use mine for raccoons...for now LOL"
  7. Really recommend the new docs Keep Sweet and Gladbeck, both mentioned above. Both are shocking and disturbing in their own ways, and both have plenty of original footage and photos to really take us into those worlds. Cliff notes: Fundamentalist LDS are evil monsters...and 80s Germans were incredibly chill about just hanging out and smoking with armed perpetrators of an active hostage situation.
  8. I really wanted to like it, being set in Philly and featuring some Sixers, but it all felt cliche to me. Granted, I pretty much never enjoy movies centered on baseball/basketball/football, probably because the action is laughable and the storylines are never realistic. Add the fact that there are so many familiar faces, some playing themselves and others not, Hustle just never held my interest as a movie.
  9. I went to a game there a few years ago. There are lots and garages in that cluster of buildings beyond the track stadium. It's probably similar to TCU in terms of game day car access.
  10. What was his intention then if not to get the ball out of trouble, in whatever direction he could? By the definition they gave on air, it should have counted. But we didn't get a single look at the initial pass which may have been offside anyway. I think NBC/EPL shows more replays than this.
  11. What's crazy is City play like soulless robots too. Once something goes wrong, it's "ERROR...DOES NOT COMPUTE..." and they have no ability to just gut out a few minutes without allowing things to get even worse. Doesn't matter who subbed in, there was no one on City who was going to take matters into his own hands and get the winner/equalizer
  12. Wright responded to the one-and-done environment by making sure his team was stocked with multi-year players who fit his system. He may have decided that keeping it going with the double-whammy of NIL and transfer portal aren't worth the effort after what he's accomplished. Looks like they're trying to emulate the K-Scheyer plan where you plug in the young assistant and hope the strength of the brand carries on. (I have to grudgingly admit, Ohio State FB is probably the best example; OU had it until Riley bailed on them)
  13. I did the same! Wife was mad at me for telling her we had two left and all of a sudden the menu is pitching us other shows. It was a great watch, but reading critic/audience speculation somehow makes me less interested in future seasons. Kind of like Westworld where the more they show behind the curtain, the explanations can't live up to the fascination of the first season.
  14. Dolphins training complex is in Miami Gardens, so it's possible they were working out right by that I-95 exit
  15. I read Descent Into Hell last year. Huge collection of first person accounts compiled by the Okinawa newspaper. It gets repetitive, but like your dad described to you, that was what happened...Okinawans forced into the military, forced out of their homes by same military all while being bombarded by US planes and ships for months at a time. They essentially lived in tiny, unsanitary caves every day, only sneaking out at night to scavenge for food and water, or on long hikes in hopes of finding someplace safer. Pointless suffering.
  16. It doesn't look like we ever discussed the buy in. The 2019 thread indicates it was $25 that year, so that's what I sent
  17. I'm liking this more than expected. Don't mind the voice, she's great at making everyone nervous including the viewer.
  18. Good looking out! I assumed I was dead with all the SPUs ahead of me.
  19. I'm fine with either of those. I forget what it was in the past
  20. I printed out the worst quality bracket I could find for some reason. Lucky I can read any of the numbers
  21. I misunderstood the tiebreaker, sorry...switch it to St Mary's for me
  22. Not to confuse things more, but I have to go out again, but here are my three teams in order of priority: Jacksonville State CSU Fullerton St Peters So after @henrygandorf picks, I'll take one from that list and pass straight to @Capn81
  23. Tennessee 3 Purdue 3 UConn 5 St Mary's 5 Michigan State 7 Davidson 10 Loyola 10 Miami 10 Tiebreaker: Wisconsin 3
