  1. Glad to hear that. I was there last Feb (about a year ago). Loved that run. What a terrific , long , diverse run.....if im remembering correctly of course. Is that the one where you ski down to it through to the right off the lift a bit, then hike up a decent incline? The run ends on the far left (If your looking at a map) of the resort.
  2. Sark mentioned it in the presser a day or two after the game, but losing possessions had as much to do with the running game not getting started. 1. Opening drive, 2 pass plays TD (a great thing) 2. ASU fake punt , lose a possession there 3. Stop on 4th down at goal line, next play fumble, safety lose ball 4. Punt return TD (a great thing) lose a possession The other one that I didnt hear him discuss in much detail is the Int. play to Bond deep down the middle...we were up pretty solidly with a chance to put the game away as we were starting to get some runs going on the drive. So the run game woes in the ASU were somewhat masked by the game flow; not excusing it, but for me there is a difference between an excuse and a reason.
  3. There is a pretty deep New Orleans connection (as transactional as it may be) with MB and the Mannings. That’s one reason we were in it for Eli (Cutcliff connection was too strong in the end). Having done business in NO , the Tulane years is the genesis of the relationship. FWIW
  4. Agreed. If he (and I imagine he can) can get $6m from USC or Oregon (It’s rumored to be B1G) he’d be a fool to not take it and I wouldn’t blame him one bit. Before that report , I figured he was NFL bound for sure. But the NIL era has benefited him immensely and with his lack of mobility and injury prone career, take the $6m and enjoy another year on the college tit
  5. I was at the Shoe in '05 with a ton of Texas fans from all over the country and your fan base is/was awful to our traveling party. The walk (since there was no transportation I guess) back to the downtown hotel was an embarrassment. Im sure all teams have their share, but man what a disgrace. I can handle the words, insults etc..but when it crosses over to physical intimidation of obviously older people, that's pretty bad. You seem fine and I appreciate you wanting to talk ball, but just know there is a % of this community that experienced a pretty awful Buckeye nation. If it was confined to after the game, one could almost understand, but it was all day non-stop your buddies trying to start shit.
  6. True that I suppose. No , really there are quite a few. TN, Clemson, SMU, Penn St, ASU, of course UGA...thats off the top of my head. IU, NDU, Texas, tOsu, UO all gone. Not sure about Boise.
  7. Really liked her in Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, she stole every scene. Very Funny. RIP to her husband.
  8. How would you handicapp Moore's decision? He was a stud for us this year, any chance he returns?
  9. Hard not to see a lot of Bryce Young in KJ.
  10. Got a daughter and her friends at the game.
  11. Agree 100%. And I’ll add the venue is/was unlike any other in sports, perhaps the Masters is an apt analogy. The Rose Bowl is a character in the story. Pasadena , the fact that VY had a record performance one year prior. All that you mentioned is spot on plus add the Rose Bowl, the grand-daddy of them all. If it was the fiesta or cotton , it would not have contributed to the build up like the Rose Bowl, for that given game, given all that USC was about for a decade in that town. Remember LA was floundering sports city while the Trojans were running herd on the cfb landscape.
  12. oh yeah, true, duh, forgot about that.
  13. im crying , that was funny as shit.
  14. 7 teams still with players possibly entering , so we will see. Can only hope.
  15. Me too. Only thing more aggravating is the 15 yard return married to a "holding by the return team, half the distance to goal" start, when we could have just sat on it and had the ball at the 25.
  16. Got family in Sandpoint...always enjoy my visits there. They also have land in Clark, MT (about an hour away), on the Clark Fork River , right before the Dam at the lake. Cool area, we had a bear in the camp a couple years ago , but no problems as they spooked and ran. I didnt see him, but my dad did.
  17. CSB...my cousin went to Humboldt State, forestry school. Grew up in Long Beach and headed north after a couple of years at Long Beach CIty College (locals call it City).
  18. Up there with Giles, Dronett, Jeter and Patton
  19. I like how he covered the ball with 2 hands at initial contact
  20. Believe that was the game Mack’s stepson touched a live ball in the field of play negating a chance at a fumble recovery. Game was out hand at that point. ASU was talking a lot of shit leading up to that game. I seem to recall they were a fringe top 10 team that year.
  21. I dont know about that...everyone was predicting a deep recession too as rates continued to go up, inflation was stubborn, wars raging, domestic political climate uncertainty and a major housing shortage. The consumer is resilient. Paper wealth in retirement accounts are at all time highs, home equity wealth makes people feel 'better' about their standing. If you want a job you can find one, at better pay too as its a worker's market. Lots of cash earning 5% will have to go somewhere in 2025. Now rates are ebbing, inflation number was pointing positively and if you believe Goolsby, we are headed to 2%. I dont think '25 will match 23-24, but 10% in the S&P is doable. If Trump lets you write off car interest, watch for that industry to blow up. More line workers in the rust belt, manufacturing states.
  22. yes sir. That one will be worth watching.
  23. I shared the story with a colleague and he liked it as much as me. Great story.
