Fuck you too buddy

Yeah I’m pretty sure any magic left was used up in the conf tournament.

Not unpopular with us Pokes…but I feel like this season is destined to be like football wherein it just collapsed

Finally watched it Thursday and am caught up on the thread…was thinking it’d be horrible as my google news feed kept throwing Rolling Stone, AV Club, etc articles at me about how this season was a disaster. I thought there were some slow episodes but overall I really enjoyed it. Not everything has to be Godfather 2 or ended like Breaking Bad. If a show gets me invested in the characters as believable people, that’s better than 70% of the shows out there. Glad they’re going out reasonably on top, with a definitive arc…as huge of a fan of The Wire that I am, it didn’t really tie off much at the ending (which was part of the message…the players may change but the game goes on). It’s nice to have a premise, acts and ending. Compared to Yellowstone, which started off so strong but expanded its premise to a diluted mess of unlikable characters, Lasso is one of my favorite newer shows.

I can’t imagine what the ER was like. Seemed like a handful passed away every year, and based of all the super drunk helmet-less fools I saw blasting off onto Decker Lane each night…no shock.

Based on the demographics I’ve encountered with the Harley-types, they’re 90% the bald/goatee/Oakley’s disposition that love to espouse ‘fuck your feelings’ without irony yet want to square up when you tell them their 800lb, 70 horsepower, shitty braked, antiquated Harley that breaks down more than a 70’s era Fiat wasn’t worth half the $20k they paid for it. You can tell a lot about someone’s ridership by how they handle a group ride…and 90% of the time I’ve been more worried about them hitting me than ‘cagers’: no lane discipline, no anticipation, late braking, not pointing out road hazards, etc. Will say that Bandidos I’ve seen are second only to biker cops in pure ability, which makes sense given it’s often their only vehicle.

Hookah this thread:

It was ‘held’ at some speed shop down south, if I recall. What a rapid fall from grace that whole event has become. Canceled (like many things) in 2020, held at the track in 2021, then some field far away from the city in 2022, and now a glorified workshop. They’ve had event license issues in the past and have read they owe money to multiple vendors. I started going in 2007 when I got my motorcycle, and kept going after I sold it in 2016 before our second was born. Group of buddies and I would buy an RV space on the drag, so even without two wheels it was still an excuse to hang with my friends and shoot the shit for a few days. But I’d started getting bored with the whole thing…the bands were scraping the bottom of the barrel, ticket prices went through the roof, events were getting cut, and as stuff to do dwindled it became the exact same shit year after year: sitting in a law chair or riding around in the cart seeing the exact same weekend warriors getting drunk, fighting or hurt. Once the vendors started pulling out you knew it was about to bleed dry. I don’t really miss it.

Every single woman I’ve ever met who is still heavy into horses, as an adult, has been batshit crazy.

When they paired us with ORU, I knew it made sense on a regional basis but had a sinking feeling we were screwed…especially with sore arms from last weekend.

Well thanks to those dumbasses, the rally each Memorial Day has been canceled by the mayor: https://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/red-river-mayor-annual-memorial-day-motorcycle-rally-will-not-return/amp/ Doesn’t really surprise me. Back when the ROT rally was a legit thing, they’d have their own campsite carved out for them and the support clubs. They’d mostly keep to themselves, wisely, as any kind of slight towards one drew the ire of all of them…dumbass blowhards or not. For a few years we had a spot across the drag from them, and I always crack up when a dumbass violated an unwritten rule, parking his pickup in front of them. An hour later when he came back, the bed was full of trash and beer cans.

I def agree with that and have said it before. Can be the hardest to explain to folks that are unfamiliar, however.

Saw this on Reddit…it was a pirate ship themed booze cruise kinda thing, which is why it’s so slow underway. A real cruise ship would have left him in the dust quickly. You’d think that would buy time for someone to alert the crew, and the dumbass could hang on the donut until he could be ‘rescued’. Naturally everyone is yelling expletives and filming. FAFO indeed.

Like someone changing seats at the blackjack table, I’m willing to try it.

Yes, please take the ORU guy. Signed - OSU fan

Yeah that’s…not ideal for the Stillwater regional. I know they were weekday games and our pitching depth dictated the b-team, but didn’t exactly fare well against DBU (who was in host consideration most of the season) and ORU during the season. Also sure there are a lot of sore arms after six games in five days. Oh well, play the hand you’re dealt.

#11 seems about right for my Pokes. Sure ORU will knock us out since they’re our kryptonite.

OU as a three at Virginia

I get that the SEC fans and money are heavily invested in baseball, and they win a lot of nattys…but damn, half the hosts being SEC certainly ensures they have a higher chance of making it to Omaha. Self-fulfilling

How the hell did you get picked off at first base???!!!!

Obviously we are completely out of arms. The two extra games are definitely not where you want to be

HOLY SHIT!!!

Sir this is a Wendy’s
