  1. I spent 18 winters there. This is my second winter since moving back to the land of the sane and I still love getting texts from friends that are still there telling me the temps- temps that I will never have to experience again. Just stay indoors, don't do anything stupid like go for a walk, and get out of there as soon as you can. Also mainline vitamin D if you're staying for a while.
  2. So Israel is kind of like Flounder?
  3. Wtf is going on with Indiana? Is that just a blip for this year or a trend?
  4. I swear I read an article decades ago but can't find it. Tldr version is group is somewhere in artic circle waiting to get picked up by plane at a small lake. Polar bear arrives and proceeds to chase that group around the lake until it catches one. So rest of group waits on other side of lake for their ride while watching polar bear devour their friend. So, no, I'm not moving to Churchill Canada anytime soon.
  5. I mean mandarich was a bust, but was it because he was a fuck up or because he was not longer able to mainline more horse steroids than his opponents? I don't remember that guy being a total flameout due to drugs/idiocy. I'd throw in Todd marinovic on my flameout Rushmore.
  6. Hate to see it. That poor maimed janitor may never get paid
  7. Sorry for your loss. Story really hits close to home because that's pretty much my relationship with my now 20 year old son. We've caught literally thousands of fish together. From the time he was 4 to about 13, he'd come wake me up at 5 am every Saturday during the summer. There were plenty of days I just wanted to sleep in but I never did and am damn glad I have those memories. Because he's a little self absorbed shit now (much like I was at that age), though I hold out hope he'll one day be drafting a similar post many years from now.
  8. So the ND interior OL transfers like yelling at media? Let's introduce them to FCB and Kirk on their visit, they won't even ask for NIL for the chance to come here
  9. For the posters in the know about how the process works, what are the opportunities to play this little game theory exercise of making your rivals pay more? I assume everything is run through an agent? Does the agent do an auction type where it's all in the open (Oregon just offered 1.1, Texas or OSU can you beat it?) or is it more of a submit your final and best offer by 3 pm? I imagine if you get too cute and offer 1 mm for a player you're only willing to pay 500k for, it gets a little tough to back out of it due to reputational risk, but I assume we could take a risk and slightly overpay on an offer just in the hopes of fucking up someone's payroll.
  10. I like it. We'll call it the players unlimited fund, or PUF.
  11. You've got to make sure your opponent has great speed and an all world safety on that one, as it works better then.
  12. Let's be honest, it's likely nobody here would remember Brees had he committed to Texas. That Tiller offense was perfect for him and I suspect we'd have been doing the square peg round hole routine with him.
  13. It's a legit term, I looked it up- it's a town in the Texas panhandle.
  14. Hell if I know. He's originally from Refugio, which is odd that a tiny town in South Texas cranked out 2 stud DBs for us in the 80s.
  15. Maybe already posted but Jalen Lott's father James played DB and high jumped for Texas, and his mom played hoops for Texas. Have to think we've got a decent inside track on that one, assuming he's deemed a take.
  16. 16 already? They grow up so fast. Seems like just yesterday he was getting his first pair of gray pajama bottoms.
  17. Or dudes know they can't get NIL until they graduate high school, at least in Texas.
  18. If I recall Mrs smith was all in on the concept of God relaying his wishes directly through her husband, until God suddenly took an interest in Joseph banging teenage girls. Odd. Which reminds me, in the movie it was creepy as fuck when Brigham was blessing the 2 girls and kissing their heads.
  19. Both have nutty origin stories but, as krakauer pointed out in under the banner of heaven, what religion doesn't? Imagine if someone in the last century with all "modern" documentation and newspaper records available tried to claim they were a married virgin impregnated by God? I'll say that I've worked with a few mainstream Mormons (i.e. not crazy polygamist cult offshoots) and they're easy as hell to work with. They take care of their shit, just be sure you don't drop as many "fucks" into the conversations. I've never met a scientologist that I know of, but every story I've ever seen makes them seem bat shit crazy.
  20. Laughing at the thought that aggy is trying to use him to get insight into our offensive playbook.
  21. This. It's like watching the Stanford prison experiment in real time. Some of these idiots need to learn basic calculation of expected future value. The guy that held out for 100k at the very beginning got it. And speaking of money, I just do not understand the economics of streaming. Between insane prize money being thrown around like candy, complex sets and games, thousands of cameras and dozens of support staff, how much money is this costing? How in the hell does Amazon turn a profit?
