  1. While the Cadet still rocks, that little Bantam is definitely useful and even slimmer. But if you like the nail file component and use it occasionally, you may want to just stick with the Cadet. I seldom use the nail file thingy.
  2. I do not play guitar, so I have no idea if this solo (starting at 1:12) is technically difficult. All I know is that I love it -- it's packed with emotion and feeling.
  3. So . . . I'm a big fan of the Victorinox Swiss Army Cadet in alox. (Frankly, I'm a fan of just about any Victorinox SAK, but I loooooove the Cadet.) It's so well made and packs so much utility into a small, tidy package. I have three because a couple times I thought I had lost one, so I ordered another and then the original re-appeared later. It's a great knife to slip into a suit pocket or have at the office when you don't want to freak co-workers out if you need a blade for some reason. For Xmas, someone gave me a Victorinox Bantam in alox as a kind of stocking stuffer, and this thing is even sweeter than the Cadet. It's even slimmer and has just about the same amount of utility. It drops the nail file/nail cleaner tool (which I barely use anyway) and combines the can opener/bottle opener tools into one. Just a fantastic piece of equipment for only a little over $20.
  4. I don't blame X for not making the recovery. He dropped down almost directly on the ball once he saw it was at his feet and the two UW defenders hadn't made a clean recovery. The problem was the third UW defender (the one who actually ended up making the recovery) was able to come in from the side. As a result, that third defender had leverage on the ball and was able to pull it away from everyone else, including Worthy.
  5. Interesting thread. It's unfortunate that some bad shit has touched the lives of so many who post on this board. I never knew him, but my great-grandfather was murdered by a hired killer in a land feud in Kentucky in 1903 -- real "Hatfields and McCoys"-type shit. When I was a kid, my mom bought a pair of boots for me at a garage sale. The boots were relatively old but still in good shape, and they fit fine. I found out later that the kid who had originally owned the boots had, after becoming a teenager, killed one of his parents some years before and was incarcerated at the time. I have no idea what his name was or when the killing occurred. But I do recall getting all ragey inside whenever I put those boots on . . .
  6. Pretty fucking lame onside attempt
  7. Mitchell's biggest problem is that he doesn't give 100% every play. In fact, he doesn't give sustained effort on most plays.
  8. Blackwell apparently can't diagnose. Washington watched the OU game tape & saw Gabriel kill us with designed runs, & Kwiatkowski can't adjust.
  9. Another obvious hold missed
  10. My liver can only take so much.
  11. A better pass would have picked up the first down
  12. Learn to get rid of the ball after you scramble outside of the pocket, son.
  13. Founders is legit too. Unfamiliar with 3rd Stop. Expect a crowd wherever you go
  14. No, Herbie, that WAS a bad snap
  15. Did the LT start moving a little early on the TD play?
  16. Yep. Glad the weather cooperated & it's a bright, sunny day out here. A few days ago, there was a chance of rain in the forecast for today.
  17. Fuck all this "don't say/write aggy" bullshit. That's what they are. It is their essence. They are so . . . aggy.
  18. Agreed
  19. CSB (no sarcasm). And you can toast his memory with it when you open it.
  20. Saw Saltburn last night on Prime Video. Great movie. Cringey in parts. Beautifully shot.
  21. The same Miami team that beat aggy by 15 . . .
