  1. Only played in air conditioned indoor practice facilities and stadiums? Night games only for those programs able to secure said facilities? I was actually wondering about some kind of late spring ball allowance as a make up for the practices being missed now.
  2. The thing is that most airlines were very well positioned to handle a normal recessionary period with ample liquidity and assets on hand. You’d be laughed out of the building if you told the C suite of any industry that they had to have enough cash on hand to survive a near instantaneous mass panic lasting 3-4 months resulting in a de facto shutdown of their product followed by what will probably be a complete shutdown by the government for a portion of that time. In fact, keeping hat kind of cash on hand prior to this would be viewed as merger/acquisition bait. Having said that, the gold standard moving forward might be to have that kind of liquidity on hand. It’s certainly encouraged in our personal lives. Perhaps Donny T’s bailout money will have strings attached requiring that rainy day account to be fully funded to some benchmark like the current scenario before repaying the low interest loans that are about to be handed out.
  3. Head to the beach and make my 20%.
  4. Not even the Corona virus wants to spread in that shit hole.
  5. IFL group out of Pontiac, MI flies them. They’re main facility is at the Oakland Co.airport with Convairs in various states of being parted out or rebuilt. Allegedly the flightdecks are very modern with glass. See them a lot in Laredo and other choice spots.
  6. AA isn’t nearly as exposed to a loss of Asian travel as UAL is.
  7. I've been exposed to a lot of shit in the sealed aluminum petri dish the last 25 years, but I am getting up in years. Might be time to take one of those stay at home 50 hour lines and self quarantine if they’re offering it in your fleet/seat.
  8. Coaches sometimes use press conferences to talk indirectly to their players to send messages or reaffirm them, or, as in this case, to try to build confidence in their charges. Herman is an elite OC who’s seen national championship caliber OL’s up close and personal. I have no doubt his hubris made him think the group you listed could be coached into adequacy. I also have no doubt that he knew that they weren’t anything close to the best OL he’s ever seen.
  9. I think it’s back and for between them and Frontier for the youngest fleet. Both have a ton of Airbus orders on deck and will be the youngest fleets going for sometime with the exception of startups like Breeze. Age wise both are in the 35-45 range for the majority of their pilots which won’t be that abnormal with the legacies sending all their olds off to polish their recliners.
  10. I wonder if he shut it down when things went pear shaped not realizing that his chute deployment at liftoff was part of the problem. Of course, anyone willing to bilk the flat earthers into funding their junior space man kicks may not have given a s**t that his steam powered thrust available was wildly short if that required to meet the mission.
  11. I thought he embraced the flat earth angle to try and secure funding for his private rocketry hobby. He had a long time to stare at the ground and think about his stupidity.
  12. Asteroid rudely bumps into Earth. You won’t believe what happens next. Social Justice Rock challenges planet and immediately regrets it.
  13. Looks like Rob Ryan faces of meth merge.
  14. Nah. It’s North Korea. They’ll probably just eliminate the village and surrounding villages, enforce a quarantine and proclaim that their dear leader cured it with his anti-viral farts or something.
  15. Orlando was and is on the Davisian level of having a complete inability to determine his unit’s strengths and weaknesses during the spring and in fall practice. His opponents usually made it quite clear to him by mid to late season after abusing his terrible assumptions about our personnel and their abilities. He’s also a strict adherent to having his best 11 on the field which, in his blockheaded logic, means that Malcom Roach will play MLB and cover WR’s up the boundary because Roach was one of his best players in a vaguely LB shaped body.
  16. You didn’t think a movie portraying a drilling team shot into space to intercept an asteroid on super secret modified space shuttles happened on a whim did you?
  17. That’s a bit different than just posting on a message board in which case I’d agree.
  18. Yeah....nobody thinks they'll effect the hiring process via a message board.
  19. I don't think the argument is that there's no way the hires won't be successful. The argument is that some are very solidly in the "we sure hope they're successful" instead of the " pretty sure they'll be successful" categories. Also, in some ways you've overcomplicating this. For example, if the coach has 7-10 years of experience with consistent results and occasional high delta seasons either way then you can go to the "countless" variables when trying to figure out the highs and lows. When the coach has 27 years of experience with the same consistent results, or in Valai's case has pretty much zero coaching experience, then you can pretty much count on the results attained over 27 years to happen again or not hope for much in the DB coach's case.
  20. I'd have to go look again. Advanced statistics site factoring in a lot of variables.
  21. Ash is a good communicator and comfortable behind the microphone. Yurcich seems to struggle when talking anything other than pure ball. Coach speak and press conference platitudes don’t come easy to him.
