    Was Bell the kid that signed the day before classes started? I remember following that all summer and thinking we were going to get this kid on campus only to get my heart ripped out on the last possible day. 

    The story I've heard (from a player on the team at the time)  is the only piece of furniture he had in his room all summer was a mattress.  He was always leaving but him and his family put on the show for leverage.  Based off the bonus he signed, I'd say it worked.

  2. Not exactly related but do you know of anywhere offering futures odds on teams making the CFP?  Not winning, but simply making it.  Looking to hedge an off-book bet I have with a dipshit friend.

    If we didn't face Bednar twice, we would have beat you 2 of 3. But, we had to face Bednar twice, which is your best matchup against us. All good, you won on the field. But, in a straight up 3 game series, Texas would be favored. 

    They had to face Ty twice as well.  I still think we are the better team but it doesn't make a shit because they won it on the field.  Hope they finish off Vandy tonight... that's something we should all  be able to get behind.

    That chin and upper arm tells me she’s got about 3-5 years before ballooning up. Get your licks in while you can, boys. 

    I came to Surly for the football hot takes but this is exactly the type of wisdom that has kept me around.

  5. My ex went to UVA.  My impression from several trips to Charlottesville is anybody who calls them Cavs or Cavaliers didn't actually go to UVA.  It's all Hoos.  

    I do prefer the UVA fanbase over the rest of the CWS field but (for personal reasons) a vengeful skullfucking tonight would be quite nice.

    Yeah, reading that it sounds like I’m on the edge. I’m not. I’ve lived with these feelings since I was a young man.. I rarely post here but there are several threads on here that are great. Just wanted to share how as we go thru life it can get hard. A lot of us share these feelings. 

    I'd echo @TwiceHorn in that it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to seek some help.  I know how overwhelming that first step can be so please don't hesitate to PM anyone here if we can help point you in the right direction.

    It might sound cheesy or soft but I'd also add that raising your hand for help isn't a sign of weakness or that you're broken. 

    Just from what you mentioned with your dad and sister it is apparent you've been through some pretty heavy trauma and there is probably a lot to unpack.  If anything, it is normal / expected for you to feel shitty after having to go through those things.  I personally went through similar things and I know that if left untreated or unaddressed, especially over long periods of time, those shitty experiences can really snowball into a heavy burden that you have to carry.  The good news is that it absolutely can get better and that there are several ways to make that burden lighter.

    Hang in there.

    Virginia guy hits that home run and the announcer immediately say that the wind is blowing out to left and the ball just got caught up in it. And that the outfielder just ran out of room.

    Fucking SEC leg humper. 

    I mean... I along with three other anti-SEC people all said "I can't believe that got out."  I'm all for the fight but that was very wind-aided.
