  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. Texas 35 Maryland 20
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

  9. That's already the case, it's just not official until the first regular season game.
  10. Agreed when he's shooting a 71 and playing himself out of contention. Less so when he's shooting a 64.
  11. You're no Subliminal Horn.
  12. Yes you were. I was mostly responding to the fact that there's a big difference between hating the guy and gagging on his cock and one can appreciate the excitement he brings without swallowing said cock.
  13. To each their own. No hate. I just think heated rivalries are more exciting to watch as a fan than friendly rivalries. You disagree. I played competitive golf (although not nearly as competitive as I would have liked). We have a difference of opinions and that's ok. I actually think sports is quite a bit more boring than it used to be for the reason you mention. Sports is just a business now and these guys all know each other. I prefer Lee Trevino playing someone at his local club for $5 he doesn't have. I liked Seve's gamesmanship. I loved Jack's killer instinct and knack for hitting the demoralizing shot or back-breaking putt. I don't like Patrick Reed, but its fun to watch his competitiveness and lack of give a shit what other people think about him. I love hating Ian fucking Poulter during the Ryder Cup because he's a fantastic competitor who never quits and never misses a crucial putt. Tiger was fun when he was staring down his opponents, beating them with his "C" game and crushing their necks by 10 strokes in majors. I don't think that Tiger is the same one as today and I don't know that the old Tiger would have spent much time yukking it up with JT. Y.E. Yang, Elin Nordegren, and his desire for pissing on Waffle House waitresses ruined his air of invincibility. His back finished off the job. But its still a lot of fun to watch him stalk on the last round of a major. No offense to the Webb Simpson's and Lucas Glover's of the golfing world. Get off of my yard.
  14. It isn't about gargling Tiger's balls. I didn't like him before and don't really like him now. I think its very interesting to watch someone chase Jack's record in the Majors even if I don't particularly like the guy doing it. It's history. It was thought to be an impossible record and yet Tiger was there and ready to do it in his early 30's. It would have been an amazing story. I remember watching the news coverage when the story broke about his wreck and wife going after him with a club and thinking it was one of the biggest news stories in sports history. It really was - he was the greatest golfer of all time and it basically wrecked his very, very good opportunity to break Jack's all-time record. Obviously his back and health would also play a major factor - but at the time, this was just an enormous story. His comeback after a decade of not winning a major is also an enormous story - regardless of whether or not you like him. It's like MJ retiring, playing baseball, and then coming back to win more championships. It was exciting and it didn't take gargling MJ's balls to recognize that fact.
  15. I can tell you are a big golf fan and an even bigger Spieth fan. I don't think Jack and Tom shared a house during the majors. Sports are exciting when there's some genuine dislike of the other team/player - or at the very least you aren't the bestest of friends. It's why rivalry games are better than non-rivalry games. Disagree if you want and enjoy Texas-TCU or Matt Kuchar battle Keegan Bradley (these are two other Pro Golfers, fyi). I'll take Texas-OU and Tiger vs the young generation. It's more exciting, even if you don't like Tiger. If you had watched Tiger demoralize the field for 10+ years and inspire this great generation of young golfers, you would understand why its exciting when he's in contention.
  16. No, but you can't deny the level of excitement ramps up exponentially when he's making a run. That's good for viewers, that's good for golf, that's good for fans, and that's just fucking fun. I can't say I've ever been a Tiger fan, but he's a compelling figure and I was disappointed on 17 when he shanked his drive. I wanted to see BK (who played awesome and answered all challenges) go head to head in a playoff with Tiger. I want to see all these young guys face that Tiger stare down and compete. And win. And lose. The dynamic right now is very friendly with all the young guns getting along and rooting for each other. It's competitive, and they are all awesome golfers, but having Tiger back in the mix as the outsider is amazing. Golf and sports in general is better when there's real competition. Jack and Tom. Connors and McEnroe. To a lesser extent Tiger and Phil. I don't want Spieth greenside like a wife waiting to congratulate JT. I want him in the locker room pissed off. That's competing. BK deserves the credit for an awesome performance and he stood up to the charge. The shit on 16 was epic. That's fun, fun stuff to watch. I imagine it will be better the next couple years as Tiger continue to refine his game. BK has a chip on his shoulder and I like that. I think he wants Tiger to be there in the majors so he can beat him again. And he probably will. The guy's an animal. Tiger is great and maybe the greatest of all time, but party of what made him great was how invincible he was compared to the other guys on tour. He doesn't have that advantage now and if he can come back and won a major now, it would be his greatest accomplishment. One of the greatest in sports.
  17. Telling me someone with my email and user name is already a member. No shit. Will try again not on my phone.
  18. Go fuck yourself. The scumbag isn't the shitfuck hitting his wife or the head coach covering it up. Clearly TH is the issue here. Nice distraction.
  19. I'm actually for this if everyone has to take an IQ test and the score is posted next to the name.
  20. Nice triple, hitting it from bunker to bunker in your own fucking footprints.
  21. Holy shit, Woodland with the dumbest shit I've seen in a long time.
  22. Jordan or not this is an unbelievable leaderboard right now.
