  1. Going to find a bar in Seville to watch Spain-Morocco. Hoping the Moroccans don't burn down the town if they win.
  2. Not sure if anybody has said Sanger Harris or Highland Superstore.
  3. apparently a little off the mark on his risk analysis on this one.
  4. Going on our 4th week in Italy. We work remotely Monday thru Wednesday and explore the rest. Google Maps offline has been working great. My Verizon plan gave me 9 days of their travel pass free so I have been using that. Down to 1 free day left. Just bought an E-Sim card for 7 days for $5 since we came to Malta for the weekend. It too has been working great. I will be getting the monthly ones after this since we will have two more months in Europe. Before coming I was worried about what to do for phone plans but has turned out to be no problem.
  5. Experienced my first earthquake last week in Italy. Walls shook pretty good for about five seconds. A little later I googled ‘earthquake Italy’. It had a warning in red and said there was an earthquake. It also asked if I felt shaking or not. Collects the information by gps. I thought it was pretty cool way to gather the info.
  6. i think you show that there are very fine people on both sides.
  7. my therapy session is scheduled for this afternoon. do i send the bill to parliament or surly?
  8. Unless I was dreaming it, I got a notice from Friday in the mail saying my premiums were going from $490 to $900 something. A week or two later I got another notice from them saying they were not going to be available in Texas.
  9. LJ Humphrey belongs in the discussion for top 3-5.
  10. ok. going to bed. 1:38 am here in Italy. if i wake up to a loss....
  11. we were 0 for 20 on throwing bombs. if we were 0 for 0 we would have killed them.
  12. pass to Bijan and RoJo out of the backfield early and often.
  13. Let's hope this is the week Sarkisian learns how to close out a game.
  14. I am not used to those coaches.
  15. Football coaches are so bad and don’t understand situations. At that spot in the field, where you are right in the edge of makeable field goal range up by 4, on third and two you can’t call a play that can lead to a sack that takes you out of FG range. You just can’t. I like passing but you have to do a quick roll out and quick pass, not just go straight back in the pocket. So much unawareness of risks.
  16. On 4th down, throwing a 30 yard interception is a hell of a lot better than throwing an incompletion, assuming the DB gets tackled by the WR.
  17. You are wrong on this. The risk in this specific situation was way too great to not do your best play to get the three yards. ISU had just went up 7-0. You can’t risk giving them the ball at the 40 and chance to go up 14-0. So we called a play where Ewers throws the pass he is the worst at to a receiver who has the worst hands in the team. In an important situation. if you want to do that occasionally on 4th to keep defenses honest, you do it when we are up a couple touchdowns, not down 7-0 and can give momentum back to the other team.
  18. no. i believe that was a first down play. it was one where Ewers threw the ball out of bounds. we were down 7-0. gave the ball to ISU at their 40. If not for our INT in the end zone we very well could have lost the game because of it.
  19. Sark is a good play caller but he has important spots in games where he calls stuff he can’t call given the situation. If he would fix that leak in his game we wouldn’t have to worry about our defense. Throwing deep in 4th and 3 at the 40 in that situation is something you can’t do. Yeah he got the best case in. Wide open receiver but still have to make the throw and make the catch. And that throw is not Ewer’s strong suit. You just can’t risk not getting the first down there by calling a low percentage play. You do that play on 3rd and short when you know you can go for it on 4th. But if you are going to call that play, you have to drill in your QB’s head that you don’t care if it is an INT. You HAVE to throw the ball where your WR can try and make a play on it. It’s not the time to make a perfect pass where only your guy has a chance. It’s 4th down, an INT down there is better than an incompletion. Just throw it up.
