  1. Shit has been slow around here recently, but I'm becoming increasingly optimistic that I will be joining my birding friends in NE Colombia next August. Basically heaven on Earth for a birder.
  2. Yea, we can argue about Alabama and Oregon passing/remaining ahead of us, but it's really dumb to act like osu gets in ahead of us if we win and fsu loses. That is nonsense.
  3. What in the world are you talking about? If UW is undefeated, they are in.
  4. He and Greg McElroy are frustratingly competent.
  5. Will the tcu/ou total be > 60 points more than nebraska/iowa?
  6. I like thinking you've managed to avoid catching whatever the little one gets, only to have some combination of constant exposure and sleep deprivation finally catch up to you a week later and put you on your ass.
  7. Our guy made it through a week before getting hand, foot and mouth. 2 weeks and multiple pedi visits later, we ended up in the ER, where his respiratory panel also showed RSV, adenovirus and rhinovirus, in addition to an ear infection. We made it nearly two and a half weeks through daycare before the current bug, which seems tame by comparison. Just a fever and waking up in the middle of the night to vomit up all the snot draining down his throat. But he at least isn't a zombie or crying uncontrollably.
  8. 18-month sleep regression + molars coming in + beginning daycare viral cocktail is really taking its toll right now.
  9. Personally, I prefer to use Surly as my Cliffs Notes version of the news.
  10. Agreed, I'd hate to watch our secondary against either of them. But it seems unlikely that we're in if a pac12 team makes it, as you mentioned.
  11. If Florida wants to just knock out FSU sans Travis, beaver makes up for their near miss against Oregon (not likely, I know), and Oregon beats Washington, that would be cool. I don't think we're a very dominant team, but still feel we'd have a chance against anyone if we got in.
  12. Every time I switch over to this game, UW #1 is picking off a pass or erasing a play. He seems good.
  13. Why sell out like that? D line is owning ISU, and if they get a 1st, big fucking deal. They still have to drive the field and waste time. Soooooo dumb
  14. Just finished my first watch of both BoB and the Pacific the last couple of weeks. The Pacific got hated on upthread a bit, and while not as good as BoB, I thought it was still pretty captivating. The Okinawa episode(s?) were great, with Snafu and Sledge wrestling with their humanity as they confront civilians caught up in the battle. Can't wait for Masters of the Air.
  15. 115 total passing yards. Fun game, guys.
  16. They also can't throw. But Techs offense looks like garbage now so I guess they'll get a chance for a final drive.
  17. Kansas starting to move the ball a bit.
  18. I watched the original in theaters as a 20-something, and felt it was outstanding. One of the best Pixar movies for sure.
  19. I don't think this was ever one of the studies I ever participated in as a psych 301 student, but if it was, bravo. I'm sure I helped confirm the hypothesis.
  20. Anyone with an opinion about the AOS deciding to do away with all eponymous bird names in favor of more descriptive names? I'm sure the impetus for this was change was the switch from McCown's longspur (confederate general) to thick-billed longspur a few years ago. It will be annoying to learn a bunch of new names, but descriptive names make more sense, especially as there is a huge hobby dedicated to using physical descriptors to aid in identification. Regardless, it will be interesting to see what new names come of this. Even descriptive names are total shit sometimes (I'm looking at you, ring-necked duck!).
  21. Virginia vs Lousiville getting fun. VA gets some explosive plays and scores, then gets a pick-6 on the next drive. 3 and out for Louisville. Then on 2nd and 27 for VA, they recover a fumble and run it like 40 yards for a score.
  22. Caught up on the rest of the thread. I didn't mean to throw my relative youth in your wrinkly faces. I really do feel like a switch turned somewhere in my early 30's. I had delusions of still being a young adult as I entered the pandemic a baby-faced 32 year-old. Fast forward a couple of years and it seemed I re-entered the world suddenly middle-aged.
