If you’re within range to effectively throw a handful of dirt in a gorillas eyes you’re already fucked. Sacrifice appreciated.

I've always been more in the shoulder-check and throw a coke on him camp.

Correct. Sharp exposed bone, group attacks aiming for the eyes and leg muscles, the silverback goes down eventually.

If it were 100 posters from this board, I assume the dumbest gasbags go first. When the gorilla shreds spider2ybanana limb from limb and you all shriek in horror, I'm sprinting for that dude's exposed femur and then whittling that thing to a fine point while we send wave after wave of BO&W, Steamboat, futureman, and numerous other dipshits in as tiring fodder. Then we riot. I'd ride in on @SydneyCarton's shoulders in sort of a Master Blaster Thunderdome approach.

Is there some history of gorillas taking down humans? I guess I can believe that it's happened on occasion, but I wouldn't put "gorillas" on a list of animal threats to humanity. Now, for gorillas, I feel fairly certain that, on their list of animal threads to gorillas, "humans" is probably pretty fucking high on the list. 

That said, I thought Congo was a fun book and a terrible movie. Some rock club-wielding, psycho silverbacks clapping human heads deep in the jungle is a moderately terrifying thought.

There's a viral TikTok of a battle simulation of 10k gorillas laying waste to a million unarmed men. The men were able to take out about 600 gorillas.

Clarified that the men don't have weapons.

My 3 year old daughter currently ranks Gorillas as the #1 threat. I clear the room for them every night

Its even stupid for social media. Gorilla's are generally shy and peaceful animals. I dont think there has ever been a fatal gorilla attack.

You almost have to believe that someone has been murdered for grammatical pedantry syndrome, though, right?

In fact, after an intensive search, Futurism was unable to find a single reported case of a gorilla killing a human at all. Only two instances of gorilla attacks on humans — both of which involved animals born and raised in captivity — have made waves in the digital age.

The first occurred way back in 2007, when a male western gorilla named Bokito escaped his enclosure at a Dutch zoo, abducting a woman and injuring her in the process. The other was in 2020, when a zookeeper in Madrid was mauled by a 29-year-old male gorilla when she entered the animal's enclosure, ending up with a head injury and both of her arms broken.

As terrible as both of those instances were, it's striking that neither gorilla actually killed their victims — and that both animals were captive-bred.

An honorable death, to be sure.

Loved the book. The perimiter alarms going off around their jungle encampment was pretty suspenseful IIRC.

Also, a properly “coached up” silverback is all you would need on defense.

It should be on Thanksgiving and ratings consequences be damned. 

Fuck that.  I've always liked the move from Thanksgiving to Friday or Saturday.  I don't have the endurance anymore to follow making and eating a huge Thanksgiving meal, that usually includes a lot of wine, with going to stadium, tailgating for a few hours, and cheering my ass of at DKR for another 3-4 hours.

No, it's awful on Thanksgiving. None of the students can attend. They all go home for the holiday and it completely ruins the atmosphere.

I would think a lot of that is dependent on the product on the field. If Texas is 11-0 or 10-1 heading into that game, a lot of students will postpone Thanksgiving.

Back in the day, we made the parentals do Thanksgiving super early (like noon) so we can could hit the road from Houston to get to the game.

Television, which will be ABC/ESPN will dictate the day of the game.

With the NFL on Thanksgiving, I highly doubt that it is played then anytime soon again.

Would be on team Gorilla if the men were unarmed, they are way stronger and mean if provoked.

I made my parents come to Austin and go to the game. 

 

Granted they had already been taking me to the games growing up so it was nothing new.

You gotta be kidding with this Illinois bullshit

They return a ton of staters from a 10 win team and have an easy Big 10 schedule.  There will probably be an Indiana almost every year that takes advantage of an easy conference schedule

ASU lost like 5 or 6 people from their entire 2 deep, brought in a 1,000 yard rusher to replace Skattebo and is somehow going from #7 in the last top 25 to mid teens and I'd just love someone to justify it besides "Well Texas really wasn't trying" or some shit.  They have an All American caliber WR that missed the CCG and Peach Bowl back now too.

There's some preseason cooking going on.

Kind of interesting to see ASU actually try for a change. Though in all honesty they weren’t really trying when they hired Dillingham, they just got lucky. Turns out he can coach a little bit though.

Kenny D has a good thing going there at ASU.  The Phoenix/Scottsdale area needs to support that resurrecting program.  Hot as a MFer at night in September, but a beautiful place when it cools down.

Spring training week I spent in Phoenix/Scottsdale was one of my most favorite week of vacation spent in my adulthood.  Wife and kids didn’t appreciate it as much, but I fed them dinner at area restaurants and the kids got to swim at the hotel, while I watched baseball.  They did join me for over 50% of the time, but “practice” baseball got old on them after about 3 days and let me go by myself.

Hook’em!!!
