  1. Well, on Westlake's schedule they called it JV...on Jesuit's schedule they called it Varsity B, confirmed by my friend, who said Jesuit's JV didn't travel. Friend's kid had a nice bounce shot goal right after I had a frustrated rant about no bounce shots and a shitload of missed/saved goals, so that was satisfying. Jesuit looked sharp, imo - lot of smart lacrosse plays, multiple quick, connected passes leading to a quality shot. Defense held Westlake to 6 goals (13-6 final - Jesuit).
  2. Watched S1 last night and will probably watch S2 tonight. Pretty good shit. The Paul Wall cameo was pretty funny, if predictable.
  3. That didn't take long.
  4. Also kinda weird that Dortmund keeps him just to sit him. Been there for 5 seasons, 121 appearances, and how many starts? Less than 20? Would love to know the % of minutes he's played vs potentially could have played (healthy/in the lineup).
  5. That's freakin' awesome! I know y'all are just neck deep in lacrosse family living - whole life scheduled around games. Good luck to the ladies Bogget this season - may they see many wins and few injuries. Headed over to Westlake HS to see my fraternity brother's kid play for Jesuit JV against the Chaps. So cool to see so many of my friend's kids playing a sport that was super niche when I played and so much more mainstream now, knowing I'm the 1st person they knew who played and introduced them to the sport.
  6. 2-1 win for VfB Stuttgart at BvB Dortmund today. Nice to see first class fußball from my side in such an inconsistent season, compared to last. Absolutely dominant for the majority of the match. edit: Damn! Apparently that's our 5th W in a row vs Dortmund! Fuck yeah!
  7. heh...I'm a week in and still all jazzed up about getting into a new "thing", but I'm also smart enough, and experienced enough, to know that's going to fade and I'll need to hold strong. Trying to keep a good headspace and help myself stay stoked about another day of clean eating, every day.
  8. Getting serious about my diet as I'm tired of having a beer belly and being ~30# overweight. Looking for recipes and app suggestions for tracking calories/nutrition. Going off of @troph's post in the Ozempic thread (trying to avoid going the Ozempic route, mostly because it's a massive pain in the ass and expensive) and using this diet: I know she said she ate as much as she wanted and didn't count calories, but I need to as I eat way too fucking much. I have purchased a scale to weigh my food, but I need to find an app to track it. Would prefer free, but as I google, I see that many apps that started out free have monetized the better features such as recipe saving and barcode scanning. What are y'all using? Likes/Dislikes? Feel like a blender is in my future as smoothies seem like a mainstay. Any suggestions? Would love to keep it under $100.
  9. You're a couple dead folks away from a mass shooting there.
  10. To follow up on the match: Houston is just flat out better than Austin. 3-1 W for Houston. Their team is mostly Euros, plus Jordan Thompson from Cinci - she led the match w/ 23K. She's 6'4" and their side was noticeably taller than Austin. Seems like Austin played a lot of players while Houston kept their rotation much tighter. Happy to look at the stats this morning and see my thoughts during the match confirmed - Logan Eggleston was easily the most efficient player on Austin and didn't even play much the 1st 2 sets for some reason. Zoe was an animal on the back row - the Houston side was demonstrably more powerful at the net and she was digging some powerful swings. Name change, btw - marriage? Good to see Juliann still playing - she looks great, btw. Chiaka got way too much PT for how she was playing. She was great on O in the 1st half of the 1st set, but after that, more misses than hits and couldn't block to save her life.
  11. At the LovB match now. Great volleyball, but attendance is kinda light. Whoever designed this place must be the same asshole that designed Jerry World - you can’t walk around the concourse on one end, so if you come in that way but your seat is directly across, you have to walk the entire way around instead of the short side. Madi looking great, playing mostly right side so far. Chiaka and Zoe playing well also. The power some of these girls have on their serve is unreal!
  12. Who is SF?
  13. Bummed to lose him. I know he's buried on the bench, but he's a defensive stud. If he can figure out his shot, y'all will love him.
  14. Doesn't make the uniforms any less hideous.
  15. turribuhl. Hate them.
  16. In fairness, they're calling them softshell pants, so... Those look like pants for someone who doesn't fall, and rides mostly in March/April. Never seen them before, and that's not my profile, so I have no opinion.

    Burgers

    Smashburger at Central Machine Works was pretty tasty yesterday. Little salty, but not too bad.
  18. The Celtics believe in defense first. Their offense is based on attacking the weak defensive link on the other team. They just won the title by mercilessly hunting Luka over and over. It has zero to do w/ who is on the Celtics and 100% w/ who Luka is as a player.
