  1. You promise? Can you rope Brisket in on this, too?
  2. Well, yeah. I'd rather get a lump sum that's probably 3X what I'd get annually somewhere else, and THEN go get another job after some nice R&R.
  3. My sister in law lives nearby and my MIL/FIL loved the place, so I've been quite a bit over the years. It definitely slipped a while back but seems to be on the rebound now. Their gorgonzola jalapeno pasta is actually quite delicious, although I have no idea what relation it might have to any halfway legitimate Italian dish.
  4. Miller has coached at legit tournament schools for something like 20 years. Pearl is at ~16 years, Oats is at ~ 6 years. I'd say Oats is winning that comparison.
  5. Got damn now that's some relief pitching!
  6. Christ, just throw the ball.
  7. I'm not sure what vintage you're looking at, but I've been running a Yamaha A-S701 integrated amp for a few years, and I don't miss my separates (various combinations of Conrad-Johson, McCormack, Bryston, etc.). In my mind a good amp is a good amp and if it colors the sound it's not really very good. That said, it should have enough grunt to get to whatever volume level you desire without going off the rails.
  8. Yup. Way to go, Galvan.
  9. It seems pretty obvious -- he wants you to stop taking his money. So stop.
  10. He wasn't the first pick in the draft for no reason.
  11. Well, I don't think it's going to be a secret kept from CDC as to Xavier's NIL budget, so I'm pretty sure we can suss that part out pronto. If Miller is (for instance) working with half the NIL budget but beating us, then that's at least a positive.
  12. Well, the reason things will never change is that they generally agree with the message, they just don't want to APPEAR like they agree with the message.
  13. Jesus, I hate the pre-hire announcement period. People are losing their minds.
  14. By the way, the average inflation rate since the end of WW2 is 3.7%, so . . .
  15. We all know where the blame will be (incorrectly) placed.
  16. What's a 1-seed expected to do? It gets tricky with 4 1-seeds making the Final Four.
  17. Score? Waiting on girlyball to end.
  18. Damn. He was a beast. I missed seeing him by one year.
  19. I was watching it in a bar in upstate NY with my first wife. That was one of our better days.
  20. We ate there in spring 2023 on your rec. I recall it being fine, not fantastic, but I was (unknowingly) coming down with covid so I don't think I was at peak energy/taste form. I liked the vibe, the people were great. Kinda cool that a smaller college town has a place like that.
  21. It's code for "I'm a selfish asshole but please don't call me that".
