  1. Read in CoStar this morning about 300 W Adams St in the Business Loop of DT Chicago. Sold in 2012 for $51MM and just resold in late December 2023 for $4MM. It’s a fairly vintage property but thinking just the dirt alone in downtown Chicago would far exceed $4MM.
  2. The fact that RT was fired by goddamn UTEP should have been all we needed to know to not extend a HC offer to him. He’s a good shit and can recruit but he’s an absolute joke of a HC.
  3. Let’s fucking go!!! Gold medal for Team USA!!🇺🇸🥇
  4. I mean, what the fuck are we doing in here?
  5. Holy fuck this thread has been dead for nearly a month. Anyway, US on to the gold medal game at the world juniors. Finland gave us a nice scare for a bit there. That BC line centered by Will Smith is unbelievable.
  6. They may not run the ball the rest of the second half. Just too easy through the air.
  7. Belgium was the second leg of our trip after spending our initial 4 days in the Netherlands. Most of our time was spent in Ghent and Bruges, with the only time being spent in Brussels for traveling to other destinations. https://www.1898thepost.com In Ghent, we stayed at a really awesome hotel, 1898 The Post. I’ve attached a link to their website above. It’s the old post office that’s located next to the Saint Michael’s Bridge and Church. Make sure to grab a cocktail at the Cobbler, the bar located inside of the hotel. Ghent is a well preserved city with many cool things to see, including going to the top of the Belfry Tower of Ghent, touring the 10th century Gravensteen Castle. We also spent some time viewing Saint Bravo’s Cathedral. https://hoteldukespalace.com We then hoped on a short train ride to Bruges. We stayed at the Hotel Duke’s Palace, the former residence of the Burgundian aristocracy. Another great hotel located near tons of shopping and restaurants. I’ve attached the link to their website above. This was the part of the trip for my wife’s birthday, so our itinerary was a bit more relaxed. Lots of shopping and general sightseeing around the really cool town. One thing I highly recommend, especially those that enjoy sweets, is the Old Chocolate House. They have an old tea room where they serve multiple variations of hot chocolate and waffles. Dinner was at Le Mystique, a multi coursed French meal located inside of the Hotel Heritage. I really enjoyed the slow pace of Bruges. We spent a lot of time drinking beers in the city’s various cafes and bars.
  8. Dusting this thread off a bit. Just got back from two weeks in Europe that included the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain. This was my first time traveling to Europe during the Winter, and overall I really enjoyed it. The crowds were essentially non existant and rates on flights and hotels were very attractive. Tons of great Christmas markets and lights to enjoy. Plus, there’s something really nice about enjoying a Belgian beer while sitting outside a cafe during the cooler months. Besides a fews days of rain in Bruges and Ghent, the weather was fine and what we expected for mid to late December. Happy to provide more details about things we liked/places we went if people are interested in traveling here in the near future.
  9. Shhh, it sounds more fun to let them think we are Satan with unlimited bags.
  10. Hey bud, way to dress up when you have guests.
  11. Old people do this a lot in my experience. Maybe they don't have any other human interaction in their day to day? Maybe. No excuse, though. Keep the line moving.
  12. If you shoot the shit with any checkout person while others are waiting on you, just know that those of us in line are praying you get food poisoning. Order your shit and then fuck off. They’re not your friend.
  13. Fucking loser. Hope he’s enjoying selling Kias as he relives the glory days of playing at that shit hole school.
  14. Way to kick the shit out of the Lightning, but holy fuck those black and neon sweaters are brutal. Why do you guys continue to wear those?
  15. Let’s go Arch!! Get us back up by 35!!!
  16. Face paint douche got the shit knocked out of him.
  17. Here we fucking go. Come out with a stupid fucking penalty and then turtle on offense.
  18. Dumb fucking hit.
  19. They speak as if Voldemort has returned.
  20. I just don’t see that happening. The committee would love nothing more than to include Alabama, especially one that just won the conference.
  21. Paying with cash? Is that leftover strip club money?
  22. You really think the committee is going to leave out a 1-loss, SEC champ Alabama? Unfortunately for us, the committee doesn’t give a fuck about Texas like they do Alabama. The winner of the SEC championship gets in.
  23. Ohio State isn’t getting in. Texas gets into the playoff with a win and an FSU and Alabama loss. A spot in the CFP has been reserved for the PAC12 team that wins on Saturday. Get over it. Go Cardinals and go dawgs! (And go Hawkeyes…lol)
  24. I mean, he’s known as a prick on the ice but I have not heard of anything bad off ice until this situation.
