Damn I had no idea Surly had a board gaming thread. Definitely quite a few board games I love to play that I have trouble finding people to get a full game going with outside of events and the like. If anyone ever wants to play Terraforming Mars, Twilight Struggle, Tiny Epic Galaxies, or similar games, let me know. Would also love to try out games like Twilight Imperium or Dune: Imperium if anyone is down to play and willing to be at least a little patient with me learning the game (I do think I am generally a quick-ish learner). Also if anyone enjoys Diplomacy and wants to play I am ALWAYS happy to do so and would be more than happy to introduce those that aren't part of the greater hobby to it in all its forms (online, in-person face-to-face, and virtual face-to-face).

The man keeps digging And then Danny buries the fool six feet under

Wow. Expected them to part at the end of the season but now now...

TEXAS!

This. We get nationwide recalls on onions because salmonella kills ZERO people and makes like 600 people get the runs. Like how fucking stupid is this BUrntOrange4Life guy? Better be a T-Shirt fan or a masquerading aggie dumbass.

States (as in the nation-state not California and Texas) wield extraordinary power. You can basically put so much pressure on people they either get the shot or are just excluded from the public square. Now I don't think we need to go that far, but making stuff like access to school or government employment is absolutely justifiable and with historic precedent.

There is non-undercover proof that you're an idiot. Thank you for making it public to the entire internet browsing world.

Damn that is a tragedy. I swear as early as two months ago I could show up any time of day I wanted and the line would be a couple people deep max. Damn TM having to make my life hard when I visit. But seriously though I'm so happy for L&L. They've been phenomenal and deserve the recognition

TCU? Def not worth it imo. UT is for sure. Texas A&M is probably worth it if you're doing engineering and got rejected from UT. Imo the best heuristic is top Ivy/top Ivy adjacent private (and I mean actually top Ivy adjacent a la Stanford, Duke, MIT, or Johns Hopkins and not Georgetown (unless you're an SFSer I guess), Wake Forest, Case Western etc.) or public flagship university for your area or community college->cheap regional school. The fact of the matter is you can get a really, really good education at community college and at regional schools for like <10k a year in tuition. Unless the name is so good in your region or nationally while still being affordable (state flagship) or elite enough that price is irrelevant (HYMPS type schools), I just don't see a reason to not go to community college and then transfer to a good public school for your final two years.

Damn if only we still had Strong Polynesian Ties...

70-3 vs CU in the Big XII Championship game

Maybe Kwiatkowski's scheme is a bad fit here and we should go with a true 4 down use DL to create plays type defense instead of using them to open up plays for the LB to clean up given how shitty our LBs are, but all of y'all arguing to fire Choate are fucking loony. Dude is an elite coach. Given the fact he got tossed Overshown and a pile of scraps and put out what he did is impressive. The room was so bad a walk-on was starting. Ford looks much improved and hopefully once Overshown is back, Ford will become the 2nd starting ILB with Overshown. Choate was good enough to take a bunch of JAGs at Montana State that went 4-7 his first year into the 4th best team in FCS after 4 years. Honestly with this defense I think we need to simply take time to let them develop and get people adjusted to the scheme. Only reason to get rid of Kwiat is if you want to change scheme. The DB room needs a reshuffle though. That shit is absolutely putrid no ifs, ands, or buts about it. That isn't a scheme issue. It isn't a talent issue. That's a why the fuck aren't players being coached right issue.

Keeping Jaren Jackson Jr in the 8th and Chris Paul in the 6th

That is where I am coming from on this too. Without the benefit of hindsight PK was objectively a monster get. I loved the pick up of Jeff Choate from Montana on similar levels. The hires I took an issue with were Milwee on offense (but w/e I'll let a offensive guy have his pet QB coach) and then Terry Joseph and Blake Gideon on the defensive side. Our DB coaching is straight trash. Watch how well from a technical perspective Iowa and Penn State's DBs played in terms of getting their heads turns and actually making plays on balls in the air. How often do you see our DBs get real PBUs on decently well thrown balls? Almost never. They need to be replaced. For LBs I am willing to give a mulligan given Overshown's incredible growth and the fact that after that talent leaves plenty to be desires (god what I would do for DGF to have never suffered that injury. DL I am willing to give an extra year because Bo Davis has been recruiting at a tremendous clip and I think the scheme hurts his particular unit. Should PK change his scheme to reflect the fact that our talent at positions he wants is garbage? Yeah, but I think firing him would be a overly reactionary choice that ends poorly for us. I still strongly believe, even after today, that TJ and BG are the only two coaches that deserve to be fired.

Oh no, I agree. I think Vucevic could be to 10, Chris Paul could be around 20 and JJJ could be top 50. Some nice values. Probably will keep the latter two

Thank you! I can see why I am replacing this guy jk jk there are some decent values to play with

I can see 2022 just fine (just shows draft order) but when I try to go to 2021 it shows a blank page

How do I tell who my eligible keepers are? I tried to go back to the league history and view the draft recap from last year but for some reason I just get a blank page when I access it.

Is scoring 8-cat/9-cat or just points? I prefer cats but don't really care either way that much

I am in

Dude was a special teams wizard.

That...is actually pretty fun

What the fuck was that formation lol. I formation D Line baby 🤣

I'll take you up on that

BURNT ENDS TD BABY
