  1. I think the Big story really is SMU. If they get their foot in the door they are going to make something of themselves. The chances of the Pac4 ever amounting to anything >>> SMU amounting to something
  2. Best approach is to get into any power conference, hold on, and hope that they can hang on when the next round of realignment takes place. Lightning will also have to strike in the form of a generational football coach a la Harbaugh and a Phil Knight style alumnus to save the program. Being relegated finishes Stanford football off, with very negative implications for all its other sports.
  3. Well, we kind of are, aren't we?
  4. Sounds like Condi brought It's-Its.
  5. That's a not very bright take. You have no idea what their discussions were with the Big12 or what their preferences are. Why would a school with as many resources as Stanford not use them? Sorry about our baseball field's lights.
  6. I am going to start using this term.
  7. PSA: Black Narcissus (1947) at 9 pm tonight. Nuns out of control. One of the first Powell and Pressburger flicks I saw and got me to see a bunch more.
  8. This is so fucking stupid. You order them to hire an employment lawyer to provide the guilty managers with an hour of training on religious discrimination. What a dick. Fuck these clowns. I still ask, how do these knuckleheads not get punched in the face on a daily basis?
  9. Dang CB, now my chest does hurt!
  10. Monday got a stent in the LAD (widowmaker). Very "busy" procedure (lots of nurses/busy "operating room" - camaras and computers buzzing and you can hear and see everything). Got crotch shaved just in case but ended up going through the wrist. Feel good - doctor told me since I was asymptomatic to begin with I wouldn't necessarily feel better -- I guess I do but mostly from a anxiety standpoint since its over and now I have work to do and veggie recipes to learn.
  11. The correct answer for Stanford is "too bad so sad", but this is an interesting take - Stanford in a power conference is good for the nation's Olympic team. https://www.si.com/college/2023/08/06/potential-power-five-exclusion-stanford-cal-team-usa-olympics
  12. I always enjoyed it simply because it was linked to a university and it wasn't as slick as the NFL. Plus, I thought my fanbases (Texas and Stanford) were just a better class of people than those who supported pro teams.
  13. https://pac-4.com/
  14. Outlive by Peter Attia (2023) I prefer the pace of just listening to his podcasts, but if you don't listen to the podcasts, pretty good summary of all major theme(s).
  15. Being Mortal (2014) by Atul Gawande Brutal and sad and absolutely necessary.
  16. I thought The Deepest Breath was pretty cool in a oh shit no way.
  17. The man is as white as white can get. And I'd agree. The white man has had his day.
  18. Wow, I'd be in heaven if Stanford can finagle the Big 10. Big 10 wanting a baseball school?
  19. Remember Thou Art Mortal bump. Started this thread with my bad calcium score. Then the stress test, which kinda was okay - cardiologist thought it was a coin flip to take a CT angiogram. Just got the results. Bad. Now I'm scheduled for the actual angiogram (catheterization). Wish me luck you boys. If we aren't essentially training as if we were preparing for the Tour De France, we are doing it wrong.
  20. [story already told]
  21. Ok cool. Hook 'em. (So therefore it fucking can't carry significant more people than are on it now.)
