I would fly to Jacksonville and stay at the Inn and Club in Ponte Vedra rather than some shithole in Jax beach. Just drive down and back for the game. The swamp is pretty cool - it's definitely as loud as advertised. Gainesville sucks ass, but so does 95% of Jacksonville.

I’ve heard the run course at Chattanooga is much more hilly thank you would expect. I live in florida so the only hills I have to train on are bridges lol

Thanks! It's been baby steps so far and hard to keep my eyes on the big picture but progress is progress. Next year I'm doing Chattanooga 70.3, Augusta 70.3 and maybe a third one late fall. I would love to do a west coast race at some point but the idea of flying with my bike sounds anxiety inducing lol. Thankfully there are a good number of east coast races within driving distance

Just found this thread! I've been on an 11 month journey (so far) to go from nothing to outright qualifier for 70.3 worlds. The plan was to race Augusta 70.3 in September and keep building into next season but the hurricane made sure that wouldn't happen. Thankfully, Ironman is really good about the options so I was able to bump it to Ironman 70.3 Florida in December. I've run a bunch of half marathons and swam when I was younger so the only thing I am starting fresh on to say is the bike. My current projected finish time is around 4:45 an outright qualifying slots (not a rolldown) tends to be around 4:10 in my age group (35-39). I have a long ways to go. Right now my biggest gains are going to come from the run. To be fair I don't even know if it's in my genetics to run a 1:18 half marathon lol. Currently I'm training about 15-18 hours a week and I'm doing this as a personal challenge/for fun so we'll see what happens. Maybe by the end of next year I'll be close enough to compete.

I'm good friends with his cousin, and he wanted to be closer to his girlfriend. The only reason I'm offering the slight correction is because once again it remains undefeated lol

"I'm not mad....you are!" Listen man I'm not going to argue with you. If you can't understand that you were wrong then, but right today that's your problem. Say all you want but it was a bad take last year. This year? Sure. It's unacceptable that someone with Quinn's experience puts this shit on the field.

Someone is still mad. I guess you didn't take my advice and go outside?

Want to show your math on that one? Lol

Wow Tarp isn't even trying to hide anything anymore. He knows this is a really bad football team and he is not convinced at all that Elko will ever fix it.

Michigan had 80 yards rushing and CSU had 111 or something like that. The hell do they mean by we can’t stop the run?

Then you aren't drunk enough when you go

Thanks for posting! I am skeptical immediately that Kelvin Banks isn't listed as an all american candidate. Edit: after reading I think he's not far off from the truth. His skepticism of our WR talent seems normal to someone who doesn't follow the team as closely as we do. I know he was trying to only focus on using the CSU game as his definition of our offense - this seems weird to me. Our scheme doesn't change much year-to-year. Will there be added wrinkles and tweaks? Sure. Otherwise, the article is about what I would expect. I won't rehash the conversation that's been happening here the last two days but put me in the camp that calling this Michigan defense better than 2022 or 2023 Alabama as a stretch. Also, he completely misses me when trying to lump in the Ohio State defense this year as elite.

Yeah, I'm not really impressed with this guy's commentary. He looked at roster departures and just decided Texas lost talent last year and there is no way the group as a whole is as talented right?? It's not hard to see the group has a major speed upgrade as a whole but less of a jump ball presence. I've yet to see a big 10 linebacker that can operate well in space. I've also really not seen a Big 10 team outside of last year's Michigan defense that was capable of defending a sophisticated passing attack. No one in the old Big 10 runs a sophisticated passing offense because good luck throwing the ball when it's snowing and windy in November and December. It's clear the defense this year is not the same as last year. If Michigan wants to blitz Quinn that's a good place to start, but it seems like the obvious gameplan choice for Michigan. Sark should be prepared for it. Texas made a lot of money last year with running back swing passes and WR screens. If we're smart enough to ditch the slow-developing plays then we should be able to move the ball consistently.

Saban's ex staff has to be a good place to start looking for his replacement.

I had someone give me 55 or so books of the Heresy series for free. Happy to send over to anyone interested (mobi files). Warhammer does some stuff really well but the quality issues from writer to writer are drastic. It's truly grimdark though so it can be challenging at times to deal with how shitty everyone and everything is.

Is anyone reading the Horus Heresy series from the Warhammer 40k universe?

I coach against his son-in-law in little league baseball. I have never seen a family wear more burnt orange at every opportunity in my entire life.

Anyone taking any bets on how long it takes for Bobby to regret the Surly integration?

Far more likely he heard what the agent told Georgia to run up the price. I was skeptical for a reason.

A Georgia booster friend of mine just told me that Ohio State and Texas are throwing "unprecedented" money at Caleb Downs. Sounds like bullshit to me, but he was right about AD Mitchell leaving and coming to Texas well before the news became public. Figured I would ask before I would tell him his source sucks.

Huracan is $275k new. Aventador SVJ is $500k new. You might be able to fine a 1/20 specialty model for a million. No dealership is going to give a collector’s item to a college kid. The cars they get are no where near that expensive. They’re probably weekend “rentals” they get access to

What's Houston Nutt up to these days?
