I was there with Aus-97horn. We had a blast. Didn't really have any bad run ins with OSU fans, actually had a number of good ones. That said, FUCK THE BUCKEYES

Except that we beat Michigan

They spend a lot of time in Silo 18 once Juliette makes it there. It's a large part of the second half of the book. Even as someone that has read all the books, I've found this season a bit of a letdown. Disjointed. Sticking with it though. It was renewed for 2 more seasons and that's supposed to run through the end of the books, so hopefully it will pick up some steam in Season 3. She drives me up a wall. She needs a lot less screentime

About halfway through the next installment of the Bobiverse, Not Till We Are Lost. Enjoying it. In some respects, it's more of the same, but he's able to make the scenarios they face fairly unique and interesting. One thing that I kind of find annoying, but also undertand, is that they've dropped the time stamps at the beginning of chapters. Not sure if they did this in the 3rd and 4th books, but I noticed it while listening today as he's exploring what a couple of the Bobs have been doing that otherwise had not been heard from. Edit: Either he skipped the date stamps for a while or they just weren't registering with me as each chapter I listened to last night had them.

If half the ND team is puking or shitting themselves, Pedo State is going to crush them.

ThuJone should offer that with direct shipping to aggy households. So many friends I could send that to!

Finished Service Model week before last. It was good. Enjoyed it more than Cage of Souls for sure. That said, I'm not reading another one of his books for a while. Didn't realize I'd missed an Expeditionary Force novel last year, Aftermath, so fire that up and finished it yesterday. Lots of good laughs but overall the story was meh. Really I'm surprised they continued the series. It was pretty wrapped up I felt at the book before that. Not sure what I'm going to listen to next. Don't want to just plow through the next Expeditionary Force novel. Agreed. Finale was very satisfying and the epilogue was fantastic.

So finished Cage of Souls and yeah, it was something. Again, excellent writing and world building, but a bit depressing. Not sure why I'm doing this to myself (probably because I had it in my Audible accout) but I'm reading another one of his books, Service Model. It's interesting for sure. Like Cage of Souls, not sure exactly where he's going with it and I'm 2/3 through. Next up, I'm hitting the latest Expeditionary Force book. I also got this recommendation from Audible - Ilium by Dan Simmons. It's about the Trojan War more or less it seems. Any of you recommend it? I liked the Hyperion series as I said above.

I'm a little pissed at aggy. Several of my friends that went there have already simply resigned themselves to the fact that we're going to win and that their school will always be second tier. They're non-stop lamenting the blown opportunity of the past 11 years. How the fuck am I supposed to enjoy taunting them with an attitude like that?!?

The two series I've read of Tchaikovsky's are Shards of Earth which I really liked and it's not sad/depressing and Children of Time which some may not find sad/depressing, but it's certainly not upbeat either. Both are high quality writing for sure. I read that about a decade ago when I went on a spree reading classic Sci-Fi. Could be really interesting as a movie for sure. I never read the sequels, but I heard they were not that great.

I finished the latest Undying Mercenaries book, Throne World. It was nothing original and seemed kind of short compared to the others, but still a fun read. I also finished Books 3 & 4 of the Bobiverse series. REally enjoyed those and where he's going with the series. Looks like there's a Book 5 that just came out. Right now, I'm listening to Cage of Souls by Adrian Tchaikovsky, I'm on chapter 9 and so far, I'm not sold on it. The writing is excellent, but outside of it taking place in the distant future, doesn't really feel like Sci-Fi so far.

Yeah, there are plenty of other reasons we're a bunch of idiots! -

It already has in many ways. I'm enjoying our seasons to be sure, but I was shocked at the start of the season to find out our top FOUR receivers are all transfers that came in after last season.
