  1. Don't like going 0-fer in any class at any position.
  2. Are we saying south austin's mom is possibly a karst? Asking because not a geologist...
  3. Two things about this: 1) 10mm sockets are the tits 2) you can't have too many sockets oh, and there are times when a 10mm socket won't do, and you need an open end wrench or a box wrench. no, an adjustable ("crescent") wrench won't do. except in an emergency. like installing a drink holder in your shower.
  4. Imbecilic troglodyte has a nice ring to it, think I'll try to work it into my everyday convos. Damn, got some decent candidates for band names, mottoes, and I don't know whatall. Plenty esotercism, but too many syllables for those. By all means, work them into everyday life, particularly if the can be referenced to wives, girlfriends, children, relatives, neighbors, opposing institutions, and - most of all - aggy that you encounter.
  5. That would depend on your definition of "productive". If you mean "many punts", then, yeah, errbody hopes not. If you mean "regularly punt the ball dead inside the opponents' 10-yard lines", then errbody hopes so.
  6. Did you have "Starter and freshman RB out for season by mid-August"?
  7. Joke. Not particularly funny, but... joke.
  8. Bullshit. We need errbody to be super productive.
  9. Only a ton if it's in Washingtons. Use Franklins like a human would, and it's only twenty pounds. Comparing a Heisman-winning Rapelor alum to a monkey? Ehhhh, I don't know, maybe jusr a lilbitracist.jpg
  10. About half of the P4 punters are Aussies, and most of those are from ProKick Australia. I reckon there are teaching materials available, and I'd be surprised if there aren't some "consultants" available. I've not seen a lot of Aussie place-kickers, and I think that's because ProKick is Aussie Rules Football guys, who do shitloads of punting with emphasis on accuracy in direction and distance but little on kicking the ball off the ground. Place kicking is moderately important in Rugby, and the recent Rugby in the Olympics saw a couple of games lost because of missed conversions after trys. Most were missed from bad angles, and the angle is determined by the touchdown location of a try - the ball is placed perpendicular to where the ball is touched down. If the touchdown (no try if ball isn't touched down) is scored out by the corner, you've got a very bad angle for the conversion kick. Interesting Rugby factoids: the successful try is 5 points, and the conversion is 2 points. The term "try" came because you don't get points until you touch the ball down on the ground, then it's a "touchdown". We should probably change American Football's "touchdown" to "plane break". The reason the "point after" is called a "conversion" is that the old rules gave no points for a try/touchdown, and you "converted" the try by kicking the ball through the goal posts.
  11. Racist, or sexist, if not both. Ban thread, rotate user to right rear, deflate.
  12. Yellowjackets are irrationally irascible little bastards. They like to nest on the unferside of wooden fence caps, too.
  13. Bond, agreed. Looks good on paper/vid, but Agiye looked decent, too. Ewers, looks good as well. If he quits side-arming shit five feet off the ground and goes a whole season without getting squashed or trying to run over linebackers, he'll show higher.
  14. The plot and cast seems excellent, but the name lacks incisiveness. I'm leaning toward Fryed Vagina, but there could be wokeness problems, so maybe Fryed Organs? Naaah... I'm stumped (or would be on the wrong part of the set) - y'all can do better, I know.
  15. Sure, if reading about the RBs being lamed left and right is your idea of stoked.
  16. Damn, a new goalpost: traditional redzone. So, taking tradition into account (does that smell like aggy?) we were actually 4-5 in redone or redzone or Red Zone? Never mind that, the fact is the last two trips to La Zona Roja we had 7 passes and no runs. Two passes were completed, for 6 and -1. At least Bert hit the FG, or there wouldn't even have been another trip. But, settling for a FG with a minute left and 8 points behind doesn't seem like anything other than reading a page out of the Binder of Conventional Wisdom. Call it what you like, but I see it as Red Zone Issue.
  17. Despite fumbleitis and shit coverage, we had the win for the taking at the end. PI was the nail, but there's that lingering Sark vs The Red Zone stuff. Did Bama have any of that with OC Sark?
  18. Seems like there was a rumor that Patterson had offered advice to help stop Penix, but was rebuffed. The fact that Az State, Ore State, and Wazzu all held the Huskies well under what we did still rankles.
  19. Sure. But that doesn't mean you have to take his questions at press conferences.
  20. Yormark might be the guy to make sure the stands are packed. I've always thought it stupid that folks let "big" games get broadcast with half empty stadia. Fucking bus them in and pay them to come inside. Free beer, half-time $100,000 drawing, whatever. Fill it up, make it loud. The advertisers would approve and the concessions would be pleased.
  21. Faster Than Wisdom is a fine name for a band. Or a nice motto for the Corps...
  22. An occasional sildenafil 100 for effect. I'm a lifelong low, slow pulse guy with resting pr 55 sleeping 50, bp 125/75 both +/- 5. Hitting the boner pill or the flower drops those a bit. My neuro is 165 mi away, haven't called for appt, betting 30-60 days out when I do. "Call your Doctor if your erection lasts more than four hours" is the most brilliant bit of advertising of all time.
