  1. Lol at UH bringing fans. Maybe 1000 max.
  2. It took 6 games for it to become clear the torpedo bats do absolutely nothing for players who aren’t Anthony Volpe.
  3. I’m not going to be a regular contributor. Or chime in on weight loss stuff as I recognize that’s not something I’m trying to do or know much about. I just had to comment on the protein bars because they can be pretty detrimental if eaten regularly.
  4. Also holy shit at thinking a smith machine gives you the same workout as free weights. Smith machines can be useful for certain exercises but by it’s nature it’s not giving you the range of motion or working the stabilizing muscles as much as free weights. In all seriousness this is a subject I know a decent amount about. I’m 5’11, 195 right now and my main goal this year is to hit 5 reps on 225 bench. I’m at 2 right now, need help getting up the 3rd one. So it’s getting there. I also really need to improve my cardio endurance, definitely lacking knowledge/experience in that field.
  5. Just catching up on thread. Whole lot of complete garbage in this pic. Take a look at the sugar alcohol content in any of those, especially Qwest bars. They are terrible for you.
  6. I was looking at conference overall record and there was nothing indicating the rankings went deeper than that. I guess I should’ve thought tiebreakers and head to head was included. I admit I ate my dick in this board today. I’m done.
  7. I was going off this. Fucking wikipedia:
  8. That is technically a 2nd place finish, yes. Try again.
  9. I’m coming back and negging this post after he scores his first college touchdown Negging this one if he’s ever named an all-conference player.
  10. Who is Tech’s competition for the Big 12 this year? It’s literally just Arizona State. Tech finished 2nd last year and has only improved their squad (by a lot). ASU returns a lot too but they lost Skatteboo. You guys are acting like I predicted Sam Houston State to win the CFP.
  11. Oh for fucks sake. He has 10 P4 offers, one from a CFP team last year, and he got a flurry of those this spring and clearly more are coming during camp season. I said he was going to be a star after seeing highlights of 1 game during his freshman season 3 years ago, and now it is coming to fruition. Let me dunk on the people that thought I was just hyping him up for being a homie playing football.
  12. Tech is likely to win the big 12 this year and will be in the CFP, they pulled one of if not the highest ranked transfer portal classes. They will be this years ASU/Indiana
  13. There is no plot twist or surprises in the show. It’s upfront all the way from the onset.
  14. Adolescence was excellent, definitely a sad watch. The premise was iffy, no kid is going to stab a girl because he watches Andrew Tate and the weak points of the show are when it tried to shove that criticism in. In fairness the show doesn’t say that was the actual reason for the crime, he was just a kid with anger issues that was upset he got disrespected. The whole manosphere/incel/red pill online stuff had nothing to do with it and it was weird the show focused on that at times. In episode 3 he even says he saw some videos but didn’t like them.
  15. The majority of teams have at least one player using these bats already. Moron.
  16. Practice squad players clear at minimum $220k a year if they last the entire season. The median yearly earnings for a person in America is roughly $65k. It’s a really good fucking job if you can get it.
  17. I literally posted nothing wrong. Practice squad players don’t travel with the team and actually aren’t even allowed on the sidelines at home games. Your workweek is just Monday-Friday and you’re making good money playing football still.
  18. Not really. You’re doing everything the starter is without the glory. You have to be ready at a moment’s notice. The best job is practice squad player. You only work Monday-Friday, and you don’t travel.
  19. You’re giving up power when you choke up. With this design you could choke up and not lose power.

  21. I watched Volpe roll over enough grounders to third last year to know he was hitting the ball onthe label. It was easy to see the shape of his bat and know what was up. And the bats were not some big secret either, other players on other teams had them for training last season but only the Yankees had the balls to break them out for a game.
  22. You might not have gotten it. Everyone else of at least average intelligence understood what was going on after taking one look at the bat. It’s just no one knew it was within the rules until the yankee analytics guy studied the rule book and figured it out. The bat design is actually over a year old and was used last spring training. This is just the first time people used it in real games.
  23. Looking into the numbers more, the majority of the yankee homers actually came from players not using the bats. Volpe, who was basically patient zero for the bat, hit .167 for the series (although with 2 homers). Elly De La Cruz’s big night last night in his first game with the bat made headlines but it could be just him going off because he’s really good. Basically, the biggest advantage is that you can choke up on the bat and still swing for power. But it really mostly helps players prone to hitting the ball near the label like Volpe was. Which is why players who didn’t have that problem aren’t using the bats (yet). Will be an interesting thing to track this season.
