  1. Those hashes.....seem to be less than aligned with the SEZ.
  2. Some of that is due to Saban coming to terms with the fact that his preferred method of Jurassic football wasn’t going to cut it against quality spread attacks stocked with peer level talent in the playoffs and beyond. And also that the SEC has advanced it’s average offensive competency and schemes to something past turn of the millennia Big XII levels. He’d much rather punt a lot and beat opponents up with his defense.
  3. Kinda my point. Were we really worse than Maryland in 2018?That day, yes. That season? No. Ive been up to my ears with work and haven’t looked into Sark’s starts at Washington or USC. I think ULL has all it needs to beat us if things align right. I also have more faith in the current OC’s willingness to maximize his talent and the current DC’s ability to not play retarded defense. I can see us winning ugly and struggling against pig if we start the season slow.
  4. They’re a good team, and beating ISU is a feather in their cap, but ISU’s perennial case of sluggish starts and early head scratching losses under Matt Campbell must also be considered.
  5. Works both ways a bit. They’ll have to best guess our personnel packages, core concepts and pet plays. They’ll have zero footage of preferred chain movers, red zone plays or any of our “specials, and they going to have to infer what players will do in new positions. Its not unlike CU having to deal with Casey for a half. They’d seen our offense and players, but it’s a whole different animal when you have no game tape to prepare from other than a spring game and Bama film. Thats not to say we slap our junk on the new turf and roll ULL, I fully expect our systems to range from dysfunctional to orgasmic, but they’ll be in a bit of wait and see mode themselves. Or throwing haymakers without knowing our counters.
  6. Yeah, but didn’t he set them loose again in the 50’s? i mostly suppressed that sh*tty franchise killer too.
  7. Fantastic. Has nothing to do with the point at hand.
  8. Not cloud judgment. Just what I was saying. A few went immediately defensive. I don’t care if you smoke it or much of anything else really. I don’t care if you prefer to drink or go on Joe Rogan acid trips. Don’t care. But I think the overall connection between all kinds of drug use and passenger behavior is real, and the prevalence of that MJ smell is an indicator of it of where people are at on the issue if not the causation of the stuff that makes the news.
  9. I’ve seen plenty who were stupid enough to bring it and advertise the fact, but I’m pretty sure that showing up visibly intoxicated or under the influence of drugs is still not permissible whether the passenger is chill or not. I find the intoxicated ones are coming or going to places like Vegas or Mexico.
  10. Also, your defense of the subject seems to centered on some thought that I care about it’s general use. I don’t. You do you. It doesn’t mean I want to smell it anymore than I want to smell cigarette smoke or a pissy bar bathroom. This is not a for or against observation I’m making or any comment on legalization other than noticing the correlation between it an issues in the industry. But you and several others jumped on that train.
  11. You’re a smart guy, but your love of the leaf is clouding your reading comprehension. I, and several of my coworkers noticed an uptick in passenger issues when MJ started being legalized. I have noticed that most every passenger we have removed from the plane or who is a problem reeks of it, and that it stinks like it at every curb. I also said that the majority of those removals aren’t the violent kind, and that the violent kind is a very small percentage of overall passenger disturbances. The problem is that you think I’m directly equating marijuana use with violence. No, I’m noting it’s heightened use and presence before flying over everyone thinking people are showing up drunk. That’s hardly the case though it’s common in Vegas to get some of that. The point that you and others keep ignoring is that, as I said in the original post, people are showing up blazed, using or abusing their prescriptions and as well as other drugs legal or not. It’s usually pretty obvious when someone is just inebriated. There’s a smell to that as well. I think a more permissive societal attitude towards drug use combined with the stresses of the last 24 months or however long it’s been is making some bad combinations inside of metal tubes. I also think that the extreme low fares being used to entice people to fly again is bringing forth some members of society who are prone to violence, drug use and or are anti authoritarian. We had a guy charge the flightdeck at the gate after refusing to wear his mask last summer. He proceeded to tell the FA he was going to beat her up, dog cussed her, let everyone know he’s been to prison and wasn’t afraid to go back and then tried to shove the lead FA out of the way and push past the other pilot into the flightdeck. We shoved him out, locked the door per procedures and called for law enforcement. We saw him run up the jet bridge and disappear into the terminal. Don’t know what happened to him. Shortly thereafter a woman claiming to be his fiancé trudging up the jet brigade dragging their bags and likely considering her recent life choices. My position is anecdotal, but let’s be real. Crews see a lot more of it than pretty much all of you combined.
  12. For some reason I doubt those who smell strongly of reefer do so because they’ve been mainlining their special brownies. I know the potheads are offended, but I think it’s unlikely that everyone switched from edibles to smoking when MJ was legalized in several places.
  13. No, what happened is the MJ crowd got butthurt about their drug smelling. IDGAF if you use it or not, but I don’t want to smell it anymore than I want to sniff a used ashtray. Ive just noticed that people don’t seem to be getting boozed to get by on an airplanes anymore, and that drugs, medicinal, recreational or harder for the triggered leaf heads, seems to be the cause. And that correlates nicely with smelling people toking up prior to checking in my experience. No, potheads only aren’t charging flightdecks. Disruptive passengers doesn’t just mean the idiot throwing punches or making terroristic threats. That’s a very low percentage of the folks getting kicked off planes or met by law enforcement at the destination. FA’s going crazy? You don’t know enough FA’s if that surprises you.
  14. I’m relatively confident that damn near anything goes in say Oregon. Having said that, if you had read the entirety of the posts weed was only a part of it. I mentioned off their meds or abusing them, this is often the case when someone is losing it, and weed is a well known gateway drug. I think it’s a combination thereof. Regardless, it has a distinctive smell, and it’s nearly universally present in my experiences with disruptive passengers. I’ve had these conversations with coworkers several times before. The tie one on and go fly model of surviving airline service and seat pitches seems to be falling out of favor for showing up blazed and worse. As an aside, you will rule the world if any one of you MF’s figures out how to make weed smell like menthol, a swisher sweet or the like instead of microwaved skunk anus.
  15. Sigh. If I had implied weed was the cause of psychotic behavior then you might have a point. For every off their meds or abusing them individual, or on something else for that matter, there’s some dipshit, low grade stoner smelling of MJ who can’t remember if the terminal carpet also suffices as a urinal. The larger point being that’s its not people showing up boozed to the airport as the poster I replied to suggested. The drop off areas of damn near any airport has the distinctive skunk ass smell of marijuana these days. And that has not remotely been the case in the past. I’m sure plenty of other drugs are being used too.
  16. It’s been more people using the recently legalized ,or not, drugs of their choice who’ve been going batshit lately. And not a few who are either not using or abusing their medications. Most curbside drop off points approximate what I would imagine Snoop Dog’s parties smell like.
  17. The Navy recently filed a bunch of patents for things like compact fusion reactors, anti grav drive units and inertia dampers. They're either messing about to make others think we might possess this tech when it’s aliens. Or we possess this tech.
  18. Interesting because the Aerion supersonic corporate jet program just went belly up.
  19. I’m sure he was hoping for “Dual Input”, but ended up with “Priority Left” followed by “Retard, retard!”.
  20. And they all conveniently speak English without the pretense for a need for a universal translator or babble fish unless they’re dealing with Klingons.
  21. I’m sure there are plenty of better looking gold diggers willing to peg him on the reg.
  22. They’re installing Godzukitron in the North Endzone upper deck for those disaffected by the party platforms
  23. That’s not age related. Plenty of a$$holes with control issues still pulling that BS these days. Far more prevalent in the private world where some of the more special people can hide. I was speaking to experienced pilots often kicking wrong pedals in V1 cut scenarios. It was nearly an exclusive club with that regard. And stupider still was the fact that most never seemed to catch on to the fact that the failed engine on checkride night tended to be the the right one so the the TOGA button was easily accessible in a familiar place on the operational thrust lever. And vice versa on warm up night.
