  1. Feeling like a loss here. Was worried about this one. Oh well not over yet
  2. Once they announced the backup was playing I felt like it’d be a shootout. My Pokes have a long, nasty history against replacement quarterbacks. Dude looks like the deal and the announcer is basically losing his shit
  3. “He’s only doing it now to get votes”…shouldn’t politicians be encouraging policies that people like?
  4. Yeah that program has appeared to be a model of execution and secrecy, which is remarkable in the age of the Internet and people hanging out near Groom Lake/Plant 42. Then again it seems to be a scaled down version of the original planform for the B2 before the dumbass, last minute requirement for low-level added complexity to the ‘tail’, so they had a lot of experience in optimizing the design already. Smaller shape probably helps with RCS as well, the simpler sawtooth should help with low frequency returns as well. All the really good stuff will likely be things we won’t know about or be able to see at the reveal. I bet it’s networked like a mix between an F35 and Global Hawk, a flying NAT server. Certainly a newer coating requiring less maintenance. Infrastructure in place to be optionally unmanned. Compatible with NGAD to control drone swarms and AA buddies. Awesome LPI radar. That’s the stuff I want to hear about. When dad was AD he was stationed at Whiteman for a few years, got to go visit. Impressive facility and fun to watch those alien shapes come in to land, and definitely a more secure-feeling environment than your standard AMC base…and not just the far side of the base where the (nuclear) weapons depot is. Reminded me of Incirlik.
  5. Dark mode here so gonna live like this for a few more hours
  6. I was in a bit of a personal hell…visiting family in Michigan so we took the kids to a renaissance fair all day, playing a huge game on the road while hanging with one my BiL’s who is a huge Baylor fanatic and ACL-like internet quality. Could only follow effectively via ESPN and osu forums. Seems like everything that was a huge gap has been steadily improving…defensive backfield, short yardage, special teams and throwing picks against a good defense. Run game didn’t pop for 4+ ypc but did enough against a stellar D Line. Reading PbP and the box score, also feels like we took calculated risks in a smarter way than Aranda’s staff did…going for it on fourth on the first drive was a great way to show the team that last years goal line difficulties don’t need to haunt this year. Overall I think osu belongs in Tier 1 for now, as long as Sanders stays healthy (big if) and the team stays focused. Proud of them, had this game circled since the championship as a deflection point…this squad may be pretty good.
  7. Did that kid look like he was having fun?
  8. Jimmy Kimmel even sucked in Band of Brothers, which I didn’t think was possible.
  9. When I think of Strong, I think of a ref saying “If…if you choose defense, you’ll kickoff both halves” and Jackson still thinking that was a great proposition. So even though it worked out in my teams favor once, fuck Strong for putting his players in a position to fuck up a coin flip.
  10. Cooper was the QB at CMU when the refs full legit screwed up a call that won the game for them. Got a free play. Shouldn’t have been in that position anyways but fuck that guy
  11. Been looking for that couch than Kevin Hart is on in those commercials. Finally found it.
  12. Was a great coach at OKState until he decided, rightly, that he wasn’t gonna win much beyond occasional bowl games unless he went to Miami. He was revered when I was in Stillwater
  13. Feels strange to watch a game without constant interruption of Aaron Judge Watch
  14. Homercles

    NFL Week 3

    Working on Brady’s knee brace on the sideline like Short Circuit
  15. Got any turbo encabulators? Commercial grade ones are hard to find in good condition.
  16. I’d take the gun and shoot Boomer Sooner twice
  17. Martinez had a shit eating grin the whole time once he got past the 20 yard line
