I’d say we’re all well versed on your opinion of Ty by now.

NCAA Golf Championships
Anyone have any interest in discussing the ongoing tournament? I’m sure some Pokes do. Sooners for sure. Horns, prolly not. Raiders, I’m rooting for you. Hell, I’m rooting for you to get the 8 seed. Pokes are dominating. I was a little concerned that one guy accounted for our low score the first two days, but today alleviated some of those concerns.

Ty finished a final. Easy could never manage that. They both have 4 elimination wins. I wouldn't say he crushes him.

If you still think Ty is as bad as Easy & Tyrie after watching Battle Xs, I’m gonna say you have a Ty problem.

And I have just reached this point. It's so cringey I don't even want to hit play.

That’s mostly true, but what he does in ep 5 raises him so far above Tyrese it’s ridiculous. You keep using “worst” in regards to Ty, totally ignoring Tyrese. Tyrese is the worst, hands down. I’be been watching the same seasons as you and I’m not seeing it. I’ll give you Cutthroat. That was embarrassing. In Rivals, he Brandon got eliminated by Kenny/Wes. I don’t remember the particulars but losing to those two isn’t an embarrassment. He’s looked pretty good so far in Battle of the Exes.

Um, you might wanna watch episode 5 of Battle of the Exes and revisit this opinion. Not that it makes him a legend, but it definitely raises him above the level of a Tyrese or Big Easy. I almost feel bad for Easy including him in a sentence with Tyrese. Tyrese is in a class by himself when it comes to body size/performance. Katie might be the best comparison for him. Or that little blonde Casey.

The way these assholes treated Cara Maria on Rivals is pretty disgusting. So disgusting that I'm actually taking CM's side in this.

I think I skipped that one, so I don't know how that is. I may have to go back and watch that one.

Tyrie is pretty fucking pathetic too. He talks such a big game, but I think some of the women would beat him. Ty vs Katie could have been the match up of the century. His record in eliminations: 0-5

No kidding. I can't even imagine him pulling a Landon and carrying a team to a championship. Or what about Frank on Gauntlet III? I know Easy basically handed him and his team the championship, but damn, he was badass on that season. Fessy would have whines and quit that season because it was so unfair. There are so many great players that Mark Long needs to be contacting for All-Stars. I did hear him say on a podcast that his phone has been ringing with calls from old timers who now what in on it. Fingers crossed some quality females are calling him. Speaking of, Paula has really impressed me the past two seasons. I didn't remember her not sucking, but she has been pretty damn good in Rivals with Ev and The Duel. I'm hoping we'll see some of these people: Landon, MJ, Dunbar, Ryan Kehoe, Tyler Duckworth, Abram, and Couhutta. Some of those guys wouldn't last long, but I'd like to see what they've been up to. I know that one gay guy Frank is coming up a season soon. Wouldn't mind seeing him. The women are tough. Most of them weren't very good competitors in their 20's. Ev obviously. Paula, Rachel Robinson, Jenn, Laurel come to mind. Most of the others sucked and would be pointless.

Where are you in your rewatch? I'm about half way through Rivals.

Jo and Robin are awful, but at this point I’d rather watch new incompetent women than this batch. Paramount + starts with season 11 (Gauntlet II) so I started there. Where can you see the first 10 seasons. Things I’ve relearned so far from the rewatch. Paula was terrible and got so pissed when people wouldn’t drag her all the way to a W in the final. Tori is so immature. I always figured the divorce was Brad’s fault. Not so sure now. It’s really satisfying to watch Bananas get treated like a newbie bitch his first few seasons. Landon was a bad ass. Dunbar is Landon minus strength, agility and likability. Aneesa has always been terrible at daily challenges. First out almost every time.

I've started rewatching some old seasons and there are a ton of players I'd like to see back. Compared to what they actually brought back, I gotta think they asked some of the women. This crop is embarrassing. The problem with these women isn't that they've lost it. It's that, outside of Kendal, they never had it. Kendall played one team season, won one individual challenge, and her team of 8 people won. One of those 8 was Katie, so team wins are pretty weak to begin with. So really, none of them ever had it. Kendal just managed to stay in shape. Ev, Jillian, Laurel, Svetlana, Robin, Paula, Johanna, and Rachel Robinson would be an upgrade on what we have this season.

I just started The Duel last night. It's the first season for Bananas, so it's weird watching him as the rookie that's completely irrelevant. And he sounds 12 years old. Oh, and guess what. Anneesa completely sucked at every challenge 15 years ago too. Eliminations, I'm sure she'll beast those. But the daily challenges, which tend to show a player's versatility a lot more, she is just fucking awful.

MTV's The Challenge, season 36
He needs to use his “fame” to try to become the go to barber for all the professional athletes in Houston. Can you imagine the gold mine that could be? Cam could then swoop in and hit up all the WAGS to start buying their wigs from her. They’d be rolling in the dough.

MTV's The Challenge, season 36
This is confusing on multiple levels. First, both Amber's seem pretty hot, so I'm not sure who you are referring to. I thought Amber B was the one who said everyone lies in the game and Amber M was the one who was butt hurt over being lied to. But then you say "STFU Amber B". Shouldn't it be STFU Amber M?

Steely Dan
Exactly my thoughts. All of it. Kid Charlemagne may be my favorite song of theirs, but I don’t really love the album it’s on either. Maybe that’s why it’s the first track.

And I proved that correct with 38 putts the next day.

Is it really "waste" and not "waist" deep? I can see how both work, but waist deep seems more logical to me. I don't even remember starting this thread so that must have been a good night.

Seriously. I searched and could not find. There must be a SD thread. Smoked a bowl and I’m waist deep in some Steely Dan.

I tell you guys this because my friend I played with totally sucked and wouldn’t talk golf at all. So I need someone to give me an atta boy.

I shot an 84 at Mill Creek in Salado today. Had 24 putts on greens that were 85% sand. Best putting day of my life.

Yeah those teams were fucked up. Alton and Mark on the same team. Teck and Yes seem like an even match for them.
