  1. Was checking out the thread on Airliners.net and some genius said he’d wished Elon would have bought Boeing instead of Twitter…”at least he has an engineering mindset”
  2. Be careful fucking with someone that much taller than you…and old man strength ain’t got no chill
  3. Looking closely at the pic, looks like you can see the ridges where the pen skipped…so doesn’t look like it’s just the case
  4. We need our defensive backfield to grow up in a fucking hurry. Kills me seeing Jabbar tearing it up with Washington.
  5. Warning: long cat Yeah I don’t know how I feel about that…Rangel didn’t look all that great, and we haven’t even seen Flores yet. Obviously everyone will key on Ollie, he’s likely to get injured at some point, and our defense just isn’t at ‘21 levels to roll with a fully one-dimensional offense. If someone can beat the ‘back-foot throws into coverage’ out of him, and he plays up to his Bedlam-level potential…he’d certainly be more than serviceable. Obviously he knows our system and got us to ten wins, also he overall strikes me as a good ‘kid’…and that still counts with me in NIL/Superleague Land. Gundy always goes with experience and we will be opening with an FCS Team that’s vying for the title this Sunday + Arky so a big step up in noncon and a lot more road games = someone getting ready to withdraw social security ‘under’ center suits me fine. Weirdly I’m sad to see lil Gundy enter the portal. That designed QB run to the corner of the end zone against Aggy was creative, and the kind of ways to solve red zone woes when there’s 8 in the box eyeing Ollie but no respectable threat of a quick slant, effective screen or rub to the flat. I could use a JW Walsh clone in my life. Gundy knows we aren’t Tier 1, and never will be. There’s still a ton of opportunity for a school like us to be an attractive option for players to commit or transfer to, develop in a stable system, practice their craft and win a lot of games. The 12-team playoff presents a lot of opportunity to still be on the national stage occasionally and I hope all the donors ponying up to keep our core OL/RB/WR are rewarded with a successful season next year. And I love gundy as our coach. I hate his track record with QBs, wish he’d get a new OC, that he apparently watches bullshit OAN, and can be a total bonehead…but he loves my school, treats his players right, cut Tyreek Hill immediately, and obviously has character, not a bowl of dried rabbit turds like a Ryan Day.
  6. Yes I walked in intending to return my $300 tree for $300, but the lady in CS pulled up the more recent $400 purchase without asking me and refunded the new, $400 tree. It happened quickly, there was a big line behind me, and I assuaged my guilt almost instantly. This wasn’t Lucy In Disguise. I adopt a Costco-first policy whenever possible…playgrounds, TVs, my outdoor fridge, etc in addition to the basics. They’ve made thousands off me in profit, and their cheerful willingness to make a small mistake in my favor absolutely endears them to my future business. One time the ATM at a bank gave me an extra $20, off the dozens of times I’ve paid $3+ to use that machine. I didn’t run back in, breathlessly, to alert them. Didn’t mean to thread derail, and I don’t make it a habit to game ‘the system’…my meandering point was it was gratifying to have ‘bank error in your favor’ for once as it feels corporate greed has reached intense levels, esp since Covid. The famously slow government is looking into frequent flyer programs for fucks sake.
  7. So next flood we’ll get bodies in trees?
  8. Head shots to people with a helmet on is some real Joe Rogan-level reasoning right there
  9. Thought not fully in line with the intent of this thread…I had one of my patented ‘rants to sef while driving’ yesterday. I accidentally broke our Christmas tree, bought at Costco a decade ago, by storing it in the bag, upside down. Ran to Costco and bought another one. Returned the tree yesterday, they took it with a smile and gave me $400 back. The conundrum is the lady didn’t ask if it was the old $300 tree or the new $400 tree that broke. She actually thanked me for ‘being the reason I have a great job’ after I apologized for hauling in a huge box on a cart. Costco is one the least-shitified companies I use on a regular basis and try to reward them with my business when feasible. They have a great return policy, pay their folks well, and don’t seem hell bent on screwing me over for a buck. Thus I felt guilty for sorta gaming the system…but then again, large companies consistently used PPP loans to buyback stock, layoffs happen without remorse, Covid was an excuse to jack up prices long after supply chain issues, and my employer is insistent I waste gas to sit in an empty office to keep tax breaks. The proverbial ‘They’ will take whatever they can get. If I have a loophole available, so be it. Use ad blockers, VPNs, etc.
  10. This needs to be posted in any bowl game thread involving Georgia I’ll do the honors
  11. Uh oh things are happening. Warm up the bunker
  12. Even when things are happening in this game, nothing happens
  13. Inside zone was working…so let’s try a slow ass pitch, or maybe a post with both DE completely unblocked on a critical third down.
  14. I’m expecting this crew to top the “Aggy called a timeout like 40 seconds ago but we sorta just…forgot? Yeah we forgot, that’ll do…please add 40s back onto the clock” that happened in our game
  15. Hey big play! Is it going to turn? This game: You’ll get a failed trick play, blown run and doinked FG
  16. This game so boring the announcers were talking about long snappers for 90 seconds
