  1. That was fucking amazing game. Ricky kept knocking their players out of the game as he ran over them. I think he knocked 3 or 4 players out of the game. Was there with an MSU friend of mine and enjoyed the hell out of it since he grew up an aggy (loving Jackie and RC) and ended up going to school at MSU.
  2. Just pre-ordered the Farer Cobb. https://wornandwound.com/first-look-the-mechanical-chronograph-collection-cobb-eldridge-segrave-from-farer/
  3. It is badass and it works. Our older daughter did it when she was 9 months. A few months later we were sitting in the pool while she was stumbling around on the edge and she fell in. We were ready to grab her but just watched to see if it worked and sure as shit she popped back up and started floating on her back. Got her out and she was just fine and then took a couple more steps fell in again and came up floating on her back again. It isn't easy to watch the training because they basically throw them in head first after about a day or two into the class and just work on them learning to float back up and flip themselves over. They aren't happy and they swallow and throw up a lot of water. But it fucking works and it's a peace of mind knowing they have that ability. Absolutely necessary if you have a pool and young kids and a great idea regardless because other people have pools. Older kids (2+) can be taught to grab the edge and get out or at least hold on. When my kids were young we had a net installed around the pool and an alarm that beeped when a door was opened. Both good ideas as well. Go do this with your kid. It doesn't make them scared of the water. My daughter's both love swimming now and it's the same for others I know who have done it.
  4. Infant swim survival. If you have kids, do it. Pool or no pool.
  5. With a guaranteed contract of $75M I'll take this option. With Sumlin I was happy with 7 or 8 wins to keep him there.
  6. Well honestly that was on Barnett for throwing near his own endzone down 60+ points. Colorado should have been running the ball and the clock. Having your QB drop back with the destruction UT was creating in every facet of that game was just asking for something bad to happen. Unfortunately Klatt was the recipient. I don't think it was a dirty play, but would definitely be flagged and Kelson would likely be thrown out of the game with today's rules. Having sat through the loss to Colorado in Dallas a few years prior I can't say I was very sympathetic while at the at game. Looking back I feel bad it basically ended his career. Excellent commentator now though.
  7. That's already the case, it's just not official until the first regular season game.
