Hamels struck out 9 and allowed 1 hit and 1 run over 7.

This isn't a defense of Nebraska, but this phenomenon of weak noncon scheduling is more prevalent than it should be.
I don't disagree with your observation about weak nonconference scheduling being widespread, but Nebraska's 2020 schedule ratchets that up to a level of embarrassment that we seldom, if ever, see. Personally, I like to see a three-game noncon schedule that consists of one cupcake, one middling/respectable team, and one top-level/elite program. I think Texas typically falls within those parameters.

Nebraska's non-conference schedule in 2020: Central Michigan; South Dakota State; and Cincinnati.
I don't think I've seen a more pussified non-conference schedule in my life. Nebraska fans should be embarrassed by that shit.

Hate Hamm? He's a neverending source of lulz. How do you hate that?

#1 on date of birth: (You're My) Soul and Inspiration -- Righteous Brothers [yes, I am old]
#1 on 14th birthday: Call Me -- Blondie
Could have been a hell of a lot worse.

After watching this episode, I now have a much better understanding of why Cleveland has sucked for so long.
Nick Chubb has got to be wondering what he did to deserve being drafted by Cleveland. Mayfield gets the red carpet treatment. Chubb gets stuck waiting for his bags and talking with "fans" who don't know who the fuck he is.
+1 on the Drew Stanton comment above. Fuck that guy for acting like he's some hotshit vet.
Feel sorry for Hue Jackson -- losing a brother and mom within weeks is rough. But that guy is not an NFL HC, and he's definitely not the guy to reverse decades of Cleveland suckiness.
Jarvis Landry's speech cracked me up, and the guy is legit out on the field. But I agree on shelving the whole "bless them" bit. Sounds like a hackneyed effort to emulate Ochocinco's "child, please" rap from several years ago.

They’re 10-10 while missing Bryant and Morrow for much of that time with 14 of those games against >.500 teams. Settle down.Maybe somewhat of an overreaction, but I don't think anyone can honestly say this team has been playing champion-level ball lately. And it's not particularly attributable to missing Bryant and Morrow. (Bote and Strop have been stellar in their roles.) The team in general simply isn't hitting on all cylinders.
The Cubs are 10-9 since the break, mainly against teams that are either shitty (Royals and Padres) or barely above .500 (Bucs and Cards). You can try to spin that however you want, but the numbers don't lie. Chicago has been mediocre since the break. They need to break out of the funk soon because the schedule this month is relatively easy on paper -- it's an opportunity to put some distance between them and second place.

Siege of Jadotville on Netflix. Great story about Irish UN troops in the Congo in 1963 holding out against a large army of mercenaries. The heroism was downplayed for political reasons.
Very, very solid movie.
+ rep for this. I had never heard of this incident. Read up a little bit on it before watching the movie. Terrific little film.

Team has looked like hammered dog crap since the break. Barely splitting at home against the worst team in the NL? That ain't gonna cut it. Struggling with the Royals. Hitting like crap with RISP. Fuck this noise.

Under $30 bourbons and ryes. (Note: I never see Weller 12 or OWA under $30 anymore out here, so they don't qualify for me.) I like all of them and it's difficult for me to come up with a ranking. But here goes anyway . . .
Evan Williams SB
Henry McKenna SB BiB
Elijah Craig small batch
Eagle Rare 10
OGD 114

I had my first taste of WhistlePig earlier this week -- the 15 YO. Damned good, but I wouldn't pay $200 for a bottle, which I understand is the MSRP.

Kinda like the nuggets the cat leaves in the litterbox.

And some under $20. I was on the OGD 114 last night and finished the bottle. Need to get another.
It wasn't that long ago that I could get OGD 114 under $20. Not anymore. Now it's $25+ out here. Still not a bad value, but not the killer deal it formerly was.

Are you suggesting it's okay for OSU coaches to adhere to standards lower than those they impose on their players?

Referring to EJ's article about Shepherd's commitment, where he called it a "knockout blow" to A&M.
Thanks. That explains why I didn't know -- I don't follow Holland at all.
-
WTF is he talking about in response to the "knockout blow" question? Sounds like more toilet smurf delusion, but I don't know the context of his response.

Those Huskers, they love their former players!

Wow, I had never heard about this. The fact the case went to trial one day before 9/11 undoubtedly had something to do with that. And now I know why I never won anything more than a free side of fries in that damned Monopoly game.

Worst Casting
in Movies and TV

See post #32 above.
Godfather III was never going to come close to I and II, but casting her just made it that much worse.
