    There's also this app called Mobile Passport now that works well if you don't have GE.  That said, don't use it if you have GE, as it will "void" your GE for that trip.  GE people still get to go first, but Mobile Passport helps you clear customs quickly.

    Can you expound on "...as it will void your GE for that trip?"  Wife and I typically travel internationally only once/twice a year and have been using Mobile Passport (now called MPC for MobilePassportControl) for 10 years or so and it works well.  Just came back from LHR last month and breezed through customs at IAD.

    Figure it's about time to finally get off my ass and apply for GE, but mostly because it includes TSAPre and the cost will be covered by a cc.  But have always wondered how it would affect the use of Mobile Passport.

    Sark had some stupid calls.  He got too comfortable with a lead.  You need to take the points.  Malik is wreck-less with the ball.   Those 3 turnovers killed us.  This game was 27-7 with 1 min left in the 3rd quarter.  We need to stop melting down against teams where we have big leads.  This has been a problem with Sark since he got here.  Only difference is that we have had some luck on our side with missed extra points and missed field goals.  
     

    With all that said, we are 8-1 and we beat a top 25 well coached team with our back up QB.  How many teams can do that?  That’s encouraging.  We have also yet to play our best football.  Not sure it will happen but we are winning in spite of our mistakes.  Sark really needs to get Arch reps bc if Malik keeps playing like this, we have too much on the line to not put the best players in position to play.  It may be 2-3 years before we have a roster ready tj make a run like we do this year.  We really need Quinn back ASAP.

    We played our best football against Bama. Haven’t been able to replicate that since.  Look Bama is 7–1 and the only game they looked bad was after us when they tried a different qb.

    Man Ricky was really good when he did the football pregame shows on LHN back in the day.

    I thought he was good enough to go national.

    I edited to say he was no homer either........he told it like it was. 

    He was seemingly the only guy to take it seriously.  Everyone else was ‘Hook ‘‘em Horns baby!!!” and ‘Texas Texas Yeeehaw!!!!’

    If Lincoln leaves they will have their pick of whatever fucking coach they want, in no way is USC screwed

    That’s been true forever and look who they’ve hired.  Lane Kiffin, Clay Helton, some other guy whose name escapes me at the moment.

    Not sold on Sark at all but the issue here is not the play calling. We can't score 1st and goal from the 5 against BYU? The fuck?

    Not like we haven't tried a bunch of different Red Zone shit (we didn't see any DTs as H-backs this time for example), just that nothing has worked. I appreciate Sark being a bit stubborn here because I also wonder why the fuck our offense sucks this badly in the Red Zone (and generally). 

    Shorter: nothing has worked but at least we have tried different shit. 

    Pretty sure we had a DT in there on the handoff to brooks on 4th and 1 after the td got overruled.  DT ran right past the penetration and mauled some 2nd level guy.

    I read stuff like this and I think to myself about how insanely brainwashed you have to be to believe that. Millions of these rubes littered from coast-to-coast really believe this. I almost wish Biden would just come out and say I’m handing everyone’s SSI checks that believe this to a deserving undocumented migrant instead. 

    He should put a huge Joseph R. Biden signature on the checks.

    Had a buddy who drove an 86 Celica with a busted starter.  We just always made sure to park it on an incline to make popping the clutch easy when we left.  Sometimes we had to park far away from our destination, but we did what we had to do.

    Two people ought to easily be able to push an 86 Celica up to enough speed on flat land.  As long as neither had a uterus.

    Not sure if this thread is the right place for this, but this is, uh, concerning . . .

    Off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot flying in cockpit jump seat basically tried to down the entire airplane while at cruising altitude.

    https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/off-duty-pilot-allegedly-tried-161944316.html

    You remember that skit 'ruining it for everyone' from SNL - Sandler and maybe Farley or someone else from that era.  'One time I asked to use the bathroom at this store and I just started whizzing everywhere...'

    Well this guy just ruined it for all jumpseaters.
