  1. The Michigan RB coach (former player Mike Hart) just had some kind of medical emergency on the sidelines. Scary shit. They wheeled him off on a gurney, he seemed like he didn't know where he was or what's happening. The RBs were crying and both teams seemed a bit freaked out.

    Apparently humpback whales have been brawling with orcas for quite some time. A few days ago, 2 whales attacked about 2 dozen orcas up in the Pacific Northwest. Video in the link.

    Thie first thing in that video is a fat chick that exclaims "I love whales!". I bet you do, honey.

  3. I'm heading to London next month, we'll be there for 10 days. I've been several times but my last was 35 years ago. I don't need any rec's for food or attractions, really. Just some basic Euro travel tips. Dumb question amnesty, please.
     

    Passports: I hear 2 schools of thought on this. Half of people say "Never carry your passport on you! If you get mugged or pickpocketed, you're screwed! Leave it safely at your hotel." The other half says "Always carry it! Your hotel room could get robbed!". I know some places like Italy require that you have in on you at all times but the UK doesn't. I was gonna carry it but I thought I'd ask. 

    Money: I've read that the UK is pretty much "tap and pay" across the board, not much need for cash. But I thought I'd get some just in case. What's a good amount to have on hand? I've also read that the airport is a poor choice to get cash, as they charge higher rates. Should I go to a currency exchange place in town? (Are those still a thing like they were in 1985?)

    The Tube:  When we would go to London in the stone age, we'd get a 3 day tube pass and it was great. Do we really need the tube with Uber and the like? For a longer day trip out of town, I'd def take a train. 

    Out of Town stuff: Is there a day trip not too terribly far from London that's worth going to? Don't care about Stonehenge. I'm thinking Canterbury or Bath. I'd like to go to York but that might be a bit far.

    Paris: We're going to take the Eurostar to Paris for a day. Any particular day that's better than others? I've been there before but again, it was a long time ago. Any places to avoid?

     

  4. I recently went to look for some shoes at the outlet mall. They have all the stock on the floor but they didn't have the shoe I wanted in my size, which is 11.5. I know this for sure because I asked an employee. As I'm looking, my wife exclaims "There's a 12!!!", like she found a $100 bill or something. I said I don't wear a 12 so why make a scene? She storms away in a huff. 

    Fast forward to today, it happened again "They have a 12!". I said why do you do this? She said "well maybe having a 12 means they have an 11.5." 

    They didn't.

    And many do believe that if it is my time, it is my time.  

    We had a bad tornado hit the OKC metro in 2013. I called my dad to see when he was coming to the shelter at my sister's house (less than 1 mile from his house), he said he wasn't going. "If it takes me, it takes me." I didn't bother arguing. 

  6. Do they not make solid colored athletic shorts anymore? I used to go to Nike or Under Armour and get plain black or blue shorts, just one solid color. Now everything has to have a secondary color, usually in the shape of a trapezoid on the side of the leg or it wraps completely around just one of the legs. WTF.

  7. Wife wants this CD, some christian band I've never heard of. She asked me to find it online for her, as I usually just download music online but I couldn't find that one. So I forget about it.

    She texted me today, "I bought that CD I've been wanting". Only after she made the purchase did she realize that none of our PCs have a CD drive, so she can't put the music on her phone. Nor does her car have a CD player. Luckily, I still had an old external drive and she was able to rip the songs. 

    Who the fuck still buys CDs????

    Today, 9/22 is the 15th anniversary of Gundy’s famous rant. 

    The QB he was ranting about, Bobby Reid, thought it was all a bullshit stunt by Gundy based on how he had been treated during his time at OSU.

    Excerpt the ESPN Article: 

    Or the line of all lines: "Come after me! I'm a man! I'm 40! I'm not a kid. Write something about me, or our coaches. Don't write about a kid that does everything right, that's heart's broken and then say the coaches said he was scared. That ain't true!"

    After Gundy was done, after he'd stormed out saying, "It makes me want to puke," there was hardy applause. Some fans had slipped into the news conference, and they liked the way Gundy had strutted around, the way he'd defended the kid.

    Problem was, no one realized he'd offended the kid.

    Reid says he was caught off guard. Here was a coach who'd been burying him and now he was going to war for him? It didn't add up. "At first, everything [Gundy] was saying sounded real and true," Rajika says. "But I'm a believer where there is smoke, there's fire."

    In other words, Bobby and Rajika Reid felt info in Carlson's column came indirectly from Gundy or his staff. ("I'd have a hard time agreeing with that," Gundy says.)

    In other words, they felt Gundy's rant was fake.

    "Honestly, the way I took it, I felt like it was all a front," Reid says. "That it was all a big show. It didn't feel genuine."

    Reid was a bitch. He came crawling back a few years later and asked Gundy for an assistant coach job, which Gundy gave him.

    People that tell you their name for something and don’t tell me how to spell their last names

    This is with mostly females. Like I’m supposed to know hope to spell Kasprzak and Leitheiser

    Not to mention that we're just supposed to guess how they spell their first name as well. Bitch, do you know how many variations of Katelyn there are?

    Would OSU have left OU behind in the Big 12 if the SEC had invited them instead?  100%.

    Yes. And I wouldn't be sitting here bitching that they wouldn't play us. ou chose texas over us, and that's 100% fine. But don't come back acting like it's our fault. You want to guarantee that bedlam takes place? Don't leave the league. It's that simple.

    You think the year plus of OU proclaiming publicly that they wanted to keep playing Bedlam OOC was a lie? 

    So if your wife was sucking some guy's dick, while also telling you how much she wants your marriage to work...do you believe her?

    OU wanted to continue playing the series.  OSU can/t/won't clear its OOC decks to make it work.  I can't say I blame OSU on their end.  They've got a few pretty good OOC matchups coming up and they're not the ones who changed leagues. The 9 game conference slate makes scheduling pretty difficult.    

    That shit is like something my ex-wife would say. 

    "I'm unilaterally making decisions that affect both of our lives. Tough shit if you don't like it. Also, I need you to chage your future plans to accomodate my schedule."  Then a surprised Pikachu face when it doesn't work that way.

    This whole thread has blown my mind. I had no idea there were people with such strong opinions about what other people wore. Just absolutely bizarre.

    You should see the threads where people want to ban others from eating a steak if it isn't cooked a certain way.

    Dubuque is the part of Iowa that’s quasi Rust Belt. It’s the oldest city in the state by a century. There was a big push to gentrify downtown in the last 5 years and there have been a bunch of cool bars, restaurants, and a couple great breweries pop up in that time frame. Combine that with the old east coast style row houses, hills, old dive bars, and local mountain bike scene and there’s a lot for me to enjoy.

    My mom was born and raised in Dubuque. I never thought a Scott Frost thread would hit close to home but here we are.

    Al, I've never been to Iowa and I can't ask my mom about it, as she passed years ago. She never really talked much about it. Would Dubuque be worth a visit?
