  1. One of my favorite things is how one school portrays another in their preview tweet. This should be familiar as Texas commonly gets the desert treatment, but the gun toting green eagle is next level!
  2. Right now, we have to be thankful for every positive.
  3. ^^^ Had that exact thing happen to a chick I was dating close to 30 years ago. We were having sex in the shower, the ceramic towel rack she was holding onto broke, and she fell onto the broken piece. The cut looked exactly like that in style (is that the right word?), though much smaller - want to say is was like 15 stitches and almost straight up and down her spine, just above her ass. Drove her boss's BMW to the ER, took forever for them to get her out of there, breakfast at Magnolia on Lake Austin Blvd as the sun came up.
  4. I don't know that that exactly works in my head, but it works enough. Like I said, it usually takes me til mid-season to re-recognize the patterns and understand the rotations again.
  5. OK, follow up question: I don't understand this part. Why can't the L stay on and serve? I know we see L serving all the time, so what is the rule that applies here? (I really should know all this, as my capstone coaching course was volleyball, but it was also 30 years ago)
  6. So the L comes off for the MB, who is swapped for 16, and 16 goes in to serve in the MB slot. And they are all hanging out at the sideline so the table can record/approve the sub?
  7. I may have to watch a replay and get some screenshots. I *think* this is what I saw: Several times today, the libero would come to the sideline and would be met by 16 and a big (55?), then 16 would come on, and the L and 55 would go to the bench.
  8. Eh, many protein shakes have a bunch of sugar in them. Kinda defeats the purpose.
  9. Well, that explains why it’s hard to identify. Can someone explain the weird 2-for-1 sub w/ the libero and a big/little? Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
  10. Bill is their stats guy and typically doesn't offer up opinion, only rankings. I'm curious if there was some metric showing aggy to be very strong that he's basing that on.
  11. The only time this year, and only the 2nd time in the last 80 races for McLaren. So yeah, pretty rare.

  13. It is the situation. Barring something crazy happening, Piastri is going to win the title.
  14. Right. Which is why I wrote this:
  15. Am I off base here? Or is this not accurate? McLaren is clear and away for the championship. Piastri has just about clinched his title. Lando's got 2nd just about clinched. Nothing they did yesterday affected any of those things.
  16. Yeah, I looked it up in the box score play-by-play and saw the same thing. Today is the 1st time I've put eyes on the team this season, and it usually takes me til halfway through conference play to figure out who/where everyone is and understand the rotations. Thought it was odd that the starting S was off the floor for long stretches. btw- I've been watching a shitload of college volleyball for the last 15 years or so. I can't even remember the last foot fault I saw, and Stanford had THREE today. wild.
  17. Did they not bench Swindle late?
  18. Question for those of you actually watching every match: is the setting that bad every time out?
  19. HOLY. SHIT. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
  20. MOODY UPSIDE DOWN RIGHT NOW!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
