  1. Yeah the shore line doesn't have a lot of buildable area.
  2. And Detroit, like Dallas, currently lacks a real NFL team so...
  3. The median household income in Gary is $37,380 with a poverty rate of 32.93%. The median age in Gary is 36.4 years: 34.9 years for males, and 37.9 years for females. For every 100 females there are 86.9 males. Gary CAN be that bad!
  4. I recently watched a really good and interesting documentary on Gary. It was a very hot spot for a time. The true capital "Industry town". The swing from a city recognized for its intriguing development to the downfall is sad, interesting and well, very Murican'.
  5. Hammond... lol. You bet! I suppose some people would still go, but..
  6. Well, Ft Wayne is much closer to Indianapolis and about the same distance to Detroit as Chicago. This feels like Bears ownership pulling a flex to get the city to fund a new stadium, which is appropriate given the graft that is Chicago politics. I suggest the Bears organization look into kidnapping and/or hiring some drug mules.
  7. Well, there is East Chicago, IN and other small cities, but yeah, moving to Indiana doesn't make any sense.
  8. Well god damn, we used rackets in the hood not racquets. We also had a lot of various questionable rackets but they had nothing to do with the topic at hand.
  9. Tennis ball? We played wall ball with a racket ball or hand ball, and getting "pegged", yes pegged for dropping one was what happened. Getting your ass pounded by a hand ball was no light thing. Fortunately, we were in middle school and most kids couldn't throw for shit. The baseball players like myself were... problematic. Edit- In retrospect, we were a poor ass school. Nobody's parents were going anywhere you could play racket ball except maybe the outdoor courts at the community college. So either someone's family member picked up hand ball in prison or we had a sadistic little shit among us.
  10. But if that happens the 2 separate threads will be inundated with this thread sucks posters. Conversely if we go full admin board and ban those stepping outside the lines the threads will slow to a crawl sans the this thread sucks posters. This thread sucks posters are the decimal point argument glue that holds this place together. What would we do without them. It's like trying to imagine social media without influencers and their amazing value.
  11. My head started bobbing to the rhythm upon reading this... thanks!
  12. Pk held OSU to their lowest scoring output of the year, and he's the issue.
  13. It can't be said enough that the ending of that game was absolutely perfect. Aggie hopes and dreams, the roller-coaster build of the drive down the field, getting so close, and with under a minute left the train goes of the track, their "Heisman" QB throws an INT and the aggies end the season with a loss to Texas followed by their new QB savior crushing all hopes.
  14. DOC... check him out. IYKYK
  15. I put my money where my mouth is and I'm not an aggie. I'll believe it when I see it and if I'm wrong pay my debts, eat my crow and happily celebrate our new OL coach, GM and play calling duties shift if they happen. Edit - Now if you'll excuse me, I have some filling and delicious aggie tears to consume.
  16. Texas and Florida (teams) pull good numbers, I think that one will show good numbers even though nobody gives a shit about aggie outside Houston metroplex. SEC rematch had no competition, SE numbers will be good, but NE and west coast won't show up much. The participation trophy games will be terrible numbers. VS two of the best known uniforms and brands in college football, one of which and in many cases both are extremely hated. Yes, yes it will.
  17. This is the key take away that I posted prior. I think the when the number crunchers get a look at the Friday and early Saturday games and compare them the message will be clear. Big names and perceptions of quality competition is much, much, much more valuable than the idea of the Cinderella story in college football. The legal aspects regarding the inclusion of G5, and how to end that will be put in full gear because nothing drives business like the bottom line and bringing in lawyers to achieve better results financially is always an investment rich entities are willing to make for the ROI.
  18. You mean using a running game with a great OL to improve TOP to keep our D off the field? That's just crazy talk!
  19. You do realize the "Corch doesn't own us an explanation." And "Have faith in corch!" are exactly things we here at Surly deride aggie for constantly. That "trust corch, he got this, he don't owe you shit, have faith" bullshit is straight up 100% fucking aggie.
  20. This is the exact sort of bullshit messaging I was sold last season. I'll offer you the same bet I did above. I'll wager any amount of money you like no further changes are made to our offensive staff. I will relax when the head coach addresses the issues that have plagued his team since he arrived in Austin.
  21. Well, JMU scored the most points of any team on Oregon all season. The majority of those points by JMU were in the second half when Oregon had a 4 TD lead. There is a reason Lanning brought the team back out on the field 5 minutes before the end of the half time break. It's extremely easy for 18-20 something year olds to start "we got this" syndrome and Lanning knew it. I find it interesting that you were critiquing Oregon for being very aggressive in the second half when we (and others) criticize the shit out of Sark for going to conservative and letting teams back in. The 2nd half points by JMU were more a bunch of young men letting "we got this" brain kick in than anything, but JMU made some good adjustments. JMU was top 10 in total D too, for the record. As for Tech, both Tech and Oregon are top 10 total defenses and top 10 offenses. They have one common opponent in Okie State. Oregon beat them 69-3, Tech won 42-0. Oregon got 631 yards and allowed 211. Tech got 370 and allowed 182. This is, IMO, far and away the most interesting game next week. One is an SEC rematch and the other 2 are going to be equal measures beat downs of the G5 schools. Given Lanning and the Oregon players are more experienced in the playoff and I think Lannning a better HC I like Oregon to win, but at the end of the day neither of them is beating Indiana who they will face post.
  22. So you think mediots and members of a coaching staff is a better way to determine who is a champion over actually ya know, qualified teams getting to play for it. Hate G5, hate the committee and its process, but hating the fact that P4 left a system that never worked and should have ended 50 years ago is really stupid. It's nearly as stupid as the way champions were determined. You'll get no argument from me. The ACC is on the edge too.
  23. Fuck the G5. They are the reason people are bitching. If not for G5 Texas is possibly in and this dumb fucking thread doesn't exist.
