Doubt I’ll see another game in person unless I get free tickets or at the behest of one of my kids. Prices are obscene, people are dicks, and the commercial breaks are downright ludicrous 

now get off my lawn

And don't cross the driveway to my lawn either, hotshot!

Counterargument: a bunch of anonymous 60 year olds trying to analyze the thought processes of 16 year olds has never been "fun", it's always been gross.

When I was in my early 40's I had that "These guys are old enough to be my kids" moments and started to care a little less.   I'm 55 now and it's wont be that long until they could be my grandkids.   Now, when one of them does something dumb off the field or on, I just don't let it get to me anymore.   Not my rodeo, not my clowns.  

I was in Austin on T/W this past week and was in West Campus dropping one of the Macanudo-ettes off at her friend's apartment in West Campus.   Damn, I felt really, really old and extremely out of place.

Was at a wedding a few weeks ago. Groom is my son's best friend and grew up in my house. A second son. So I got to be the last "old" invited to have the celebratory cigar at the end. Venue was closed, but we were allowed to stay. Got hit on by a bad ass 35 year old  Navajo chick. I did not proceed, should have.

Sometimes I fit in, living in San Marcos I am surrounded by the yutes.  But when they start talking about their lives I get lost. Asked the collected 27ish year olds what was the last book they read. Silence. Oh and I have to have an instagram account to see the wedding pictures. 

Yeah, I felt out of place.

There's the "maga ruined sports" thread but I think its closer to us terminally online folks ruined it.  That thread is disgusting.  Really bad. I quit paying close attention for quite a few years for various reasons but still check in occasionally due to neighbors talking.  Every once in  a while I take a look at the football board.   A whole lot of ugliness on that board in general.  Many seem they've never really been having fun.  And the amount of seriousness people take in analyzing every little thing is cringe.  The 'pussy' talk or what not.  Ugh.  Then there is the misery on just about every game thread.  Gross.  And the total 'clever' repeated surly-isms (ha ha, 'ass water'?).  Cringe.

That train of thought put out there, I see it on other sports discussion sites too.  Not unique to Surly.  We all distract ourselves in some fashion. I think there may be healthier distractions than online sports boards and most pro sports fandom in general.

I enjoy positing and reading theories about why middle aged men succeed or fail at coaching.

But too many people get really strident about their theories and treat them as irrefutable fact and anyone that questions them is an idiot or pederast or idiot pederast.

The House reconvenes on 10/28. Wonder what excuse  the creepy youth pastor will use for refusing to swear in the newly elected AZ. Congresswoman?

Bros before ‘jos?

nah, technically still married. Don't want that shit to bite me in the ass. Her, yes, but not more BS. 

But I will see her at my son's wedding next year, so never give up hope.

I laughed.  Speaking of old, during certain points in a sports game when the game looked to be clearly won by one side, my Father would say "It's all over but the shouting."  To me that's now applicable to Trump and the US.

You appear to have skipped over a post to get to this one. 

Ask the professor to fill in the blanks for you.

So now he’s expanding it to early voting, not just mail-in.  That’s new.

Was about to post this. Now they're going after early voting? So we all get to stand in line for 12 hours on election day while ICE questions us?

Outside of the special circumstances of 2020 isn't it pretty much the case that Republicans are by far the bigger users of early voting?  The harassment angle is certainly valid.

Interesting.  I wonder if Dotard would be interested in joining our tumor board this month.  We could make it nationwide and exclusive to his enthusiastic supporter patients.  His recommendations should be binding.

Probably can't find a Bible to use, and Johnson won't allow the distinguished rep-elect to bring her own, because it might not be "authentic" enough.
