  1. Did you mean to post this on Thursday and just forget?
  2. That is not a bad idea.
  3. I would love to, but I can't. Oh well. I'll go another time.
  4. Hannah Waddingham's agent meets with the producers: "Hannah is excited about this new season, but she is a little confused by some of the plot. She understands Sela Ward is playing the manager of the rival team. It's a little odd that there are two American managers in the league. But she's very confused by this one scene in the second episode, where the two of them go home with a coonass lawyer from Texas character. Where does he come into play and what is the motivation for these women to have relations with a man who only talks about Texas Longhorn football and Allsups burritos? Also, what is an Allsup?"
  5. I hope the series will be close with an even flow of runs for both sides. Will there be a ceremony to release this trophy to the team of better men that win?
  6. In and paid. Let's goooooo!
  7. We've done this the last couple of years and it's worked out well. It's definitely a fun wrinkle to a NCAA tournament pool. You pick one team each day of the tournament to win straight-up. If they win, you advance. If you lose, you're out. You can only pick a team once so you may not want to use a #1 seed on the first day. The only exception to the "one pick per day" rule is in the Elite 8 round where you will still have to pick two teams, but you can pick both the Saturday games, both the Sunday games, or one of each. Last year we had 21 participants and I hope we pass that number this year. Feel free to share this with anyone not on the board. The pool is at https://www.officefootballpool.com/pools.cfm?poolid=182847&p=2&pwd=p9nrt5 It's $50 to join, but tournamentpools.com does charge $1/entry, so please send me $51. PM me for paypal or venmo details.
  8. I have to drive from Austin to San Antonio Sunday afternoon. If I roll into Seguin around 3 or 4:00, will there be anything left at Burnt Bean or are they one of those places that run out of meat by 1:00?
  9. Shaq averaged more points and rebounds than Laettner with a better FG and eFG percentage. I know that Laettner's teams had more success than Shaq's, but when comparing individual players, I hate looking at team success. Laettner had a whole lot more talent around him than Shaq did.
  10. Maravich Magic Zion Shaq Curry/DWade/any other guard I am too tired to think of Every list must start with Maravich; all-time leading scorer even without a three-point line and playing JV his freshman year No Laettnar, because fuck him; Shaq should have been on the Dream Team
  11. Oh, I agree. But you need to think about the big picture. If school districts are cutting funding for special ed teachers, soon they're going to start cutting my cat litter budget. Am I going to have to pay out-of-pocket just so my students who identify as cats can go to the bathroom?!? And between you and me, the rumor going around school is that teachers are going to have to start paying for all the surgical tools and anesthesia we use when we turn girls into boys at school. I average two of those a week and those costs add up quickly!
  12. I found out today that due to the Texas legislature being little bitches and President Musk taking a chainsaw to everything in DC, our school is losing 9 teaching positions for next year, including 3 special ed teachers who were funded by DOE grants. I'm gonna have to get creative and figure out how to sit/stack 40 kids in my small classroom each period.
  13. Serious answer: the biggest issue you're going to have is behavior management. I don't mean the kids are going to be misbehaving, but they are going to get bored and do their own thing in practice and in games if you don't keep them busy. So make sure everyone is busy at all times. For example, don't do a drill where everyone stands in a line and waits their turn to shoot. Have a couple of kids working on shooting, have others rebound the shots, have another group working on passing at the same time, and then rotate. During games, give the kids on the bench a task. "Hey, [kid with 4 y's in her name], can you watch #10 on the other team and tell me how many times she touches the ball. I'm trying to figure out if we should guard her closely or not." And just remember, you really can't screw this up too badly. If Rodney Terry can coach, so can you.
  14. I believe that Dick O'Polka was the frontman for the Kenosha Kickers before Gus Polinski showed up.
  15. Without a doubt, the greatest scene in movie history Obviously, username fits.
  16. But at a football game, we're all rooting for a common cause. I want the people around me to make noise. I like high-fiving strangers. I have never done any of those things at a move theater.
  17. Thanks a lot, Bin Laden.
  18. How old are your kids? I teach high school and every year I show it to my classes after the AP test. They always moan and groan when it starts, but I tell them to just give it a chance. After it's over, I always get "You were right. That was pretty good." "I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue."
  19. What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca? My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters. The waters? What waters? We're in the desert. I was misinformed.
  20. My favorite scene is when Ilsa starts moaning loudly in the middle of Rick's and Captain Renault says, "I'll have what she's having." Absolutely hilarious.
  21. I didn't forget it. In fact, I gave one to your mom last night.
  22. This partnership is going to lead to levels of enshittefication the likes of which have never been seen:
  23. @High Plains Drifter can correct me if I'm wrong, but the tagging would happen in a public post. So if you have a legal question, you can tag @lawdogs and all the ambulance chasers will be notified of the post and come calling. I suppose if you tag @assholes, they whole board would be notified.
  24. The absolute dumbest part of the entire season was in the final montage when But I'll probably forget about all of it and watch the second season.
