  1. Sorry if this has already been covered. The thread moves quickly and the amount of links borks me at times. 
     
    What are the suspected focal points of the impending counteroffensive? Surely not Bakhmut?

    I think the expected goal will be to cross the Dnipro and drive to the Sea of Azov. Maybe towards Melitopol or Mariupol. If they can achieve this, it cuts off the Russkies in Crimea.

  2. The week before Thanksgiving I had bad abdominal pain for a few days along with some other symptoms that I had ignored for a few weeks. My doctor referred me to the er. I went in expecting an ulcer of some sort and ended up getting out of the hospital 8 days later with a colostomy and a diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer with liver metastasis. I'm 40 years old. 
    I had my first oncology appointment today and the outlook of similar cases is 50% make it 5 years and I will be on chemotherapy treatment for the rest of my life (however long that is). I have had probably 6 doctors say "you're the reason they lowered screening to 45, of course that wouldn't have helped in your case" 
     
    Life can really come at you fast. 

    I don’t know what to say but I’m sorry you are going through this and I hope you find the strength to fight this cancer mofo and win.

    God bless

  3. LSU isn't as worried as some here about winning this game. They are getting in passing practice pre Georgia game where they won't be able to line up and run. They know they can run at will.
    [mention=949]Shaddie[/mention]beat me to it

    They aren’t worried about winning when they have a chance to make the playoff? Wat?
  4. Safety and accountability?????
    There's 12 kids and their families who would like a word with you brain dead fuck-heads.

    You must have never been informed that they are honoring the dead students by doing the same thing that killed them and if they didn’t, it would be like those kids died for nothing. Clear, linear logic.

    Stupid sip.

  5. That's one of those when & where moments for me.  We were in that old Fry's up in north Austin on 183.  I got frustrated with the wife and kid and decided to watch the end of the A&M-Tech game.  That scene happened almost immediately when I started watching.  After a moment of silence, the dude next to me also watching asked, "Wait, what were those guys doing?"  
    I said, "I think they were squeezing their balls and screaming."
    He said, "That's an odd thing to do."
    I laughed, "Well, we're talking about A&M here."

    I was at my house watching and listening to Dave South’s broadcast because listening to him call aggy losses was my guilty pleasure.

  6.  
    If the Aggies come to Jimbo and say "here's 30 million dollars. You can take it now and not have to coach another game for the rest of your life if you so choose or you can coach for the next nine years in hell to collect the full 90 million"  my guess is that Jimbo would take the money and run.
     
     

    I think he would say FUPM
  7. Well we have seen plenty examples of Russians demonstrating advanced tactics such as drive balls-to-the-walls into a minefield or bailing out once coming under artillery fire.
    I think it's more evidence of their overall poor training. It's not just driving the tanks but lacking the combined arms training to be effective. No infantry support with their tanks, poor coms for combined air or artillery support, etc.

    I think Russian tank training is called “Flight School” judging from many videos I’ve seen

  8. How is Mancini defensively playing 1st base? Obviously he made that great play with his glove last game. Can we expect at least average play defensively or are we going to hold our breath every time the ball is in play? Yuli is so damn good defensively I’m a little worried if Mancini can make the scoops that Piña makes that look effortless.

    He is a below average defensive first baseman
