  1. Was working at an off campus bookstore (sold text books and other books just across from campus)  I was unpacking some books and ran across a Mapplethorpe coffee table book.  Flipped though it and was like "ok we're selling this now" and stocked it out.

    Always wonder about having a morning cup of Joe and just thinking "you know what?, I'd like to look at some dongs" /nothujone

    Headed to Greece in the morning for a bit over two weeks for job. Have work stuff in the mornings but done everyday by noon. First week in Athens. Staying in Plaka. I am sure it will be mega crowded--and that aint my bag. Any recs on places to eat/drink that might not be so touristy? I have dropped some pins on a google map for Tapfield and The Clumsies.  Still looking for restaurants. And if I hit up a beach in Athens, which one (or two) should it be?  Thanks for any help. 

    Handlebar in Psyrri for a drink in the evening.  Not touristy and grungy enough to keep them away.  Think younger greek hipsters.

    No he wasn’t. But if he attacked as soon as Wout dropped out he MIGHT have been able to put more time onJV. He went from +7 seconds to +13 to + 20 so JV didn’t have the legs today. But, who knows?

    I'm a casual fan, Bob or Christian was saying that Vinego was better on the steep than Pogacar.  I think Wout pulled off right at the start of the steepest section.  I'm guessing the Pogacar was glad to see Vinego not just accelerate off, waited until the grade calmed and attacked when Vinego couldn't.  It's all assumption on my part though based on the commentary not personal knowledge.

    Mildly reminiscent of my favorite rider--Thor Hushovd. World-class sprinter, decent time-trialist, and a surprisingly good climber for a "Clydesdale" competing at 174-180 lbs. Occasionally would snipe a mountain stage, although doing so meant he'd ride like a potato for the next few stages.

    He rides just like me!

    Ran a marathon on a dare in 2012.  I assumed that the soccer and cycling I did would get me most of the way; stubbornness and fear of failure would get me to the line.  I finished.  Barely.  8-month pregnant wife had to roll me down the hospital hall when I ended up in the ER later that night.

    So you were right!

    "Game"?  Why the quotation marks?

     

    No reason.  Other than the overwhelming majority of their competitive history.

     

    I don't know, it seemed more like a party than a game.   It felt more like going to a bar that had football on.  The opponent was over matched and it seemed like the whole stadium was pounding beers (hyperbole)  The kids next to us, 2 guys and like 4-5 younger looking college girls were buying 15 whiteclaws at a crack on one guy's ID.   I left in the 3rd after the EMT crews started pulling people out of the stands and a few fights started breaking out among the UCF fans.

    The school was created in the late 50's IIRC, it just seems like they are just figuring it all out, I can't imagine that they can let this carry on.  Maybe I just happened to be there on a weird night.  Fun, but a bit surreal.

    Gotta be some Horns that went to the game in Orlando a few years back, Checks notes 15yrs ago.

    That’s what I thought at the time, but maybe he should have gone earlier.

    He wasn't going to attack Wout and Vinego, and he had no idea about Vinego's form.   He let Vinego pull him a bit, saw weakness and went.  Well played

    I have a good friend that moved from Lauderdale to East Palatka. Don't ask me why.

    Do they work for Georgia Pacific?     I dislike the city because they targeted college kids heading over to the beaches.   Natural beauty of the river is undeniable but it's an ugly industrial, old south (in a bad way) city.  I got pulled for 2 miles over the speed limit.  The cop flashed his high school ring as he gripped my door and asked me if us college boys thought we could break the law in his city.  I was seriously biting my cheek not to chuckle when he said city.  Glad I didn't.  Kept us road side for 30 mins and really really wanted to search the car.  Finally let me go and wrote the ticket for 11 over even after he told my I was doing 2 over which was BS anyway because everyone knew the drill.

    Those are the only other times I could possibly go.  I farm and our harvest generally runs from mid September to Thanksgiving.  It can start/end earlier some years, but 90% of football season is usually off the table.

    Better farming than sitting in that sunblasted hell hole at noon.  I can only imagine what those metal bleachers would feel like.

    Pretty much what you are seeing now.

    Well,

    If he picked a team were he was the GC guy and the super domestic, he picked the wrong team.

    I'm just intrigued, he climbs well and sprints well, have no idea how his TT is.

    As bad as the UH addition was, UCF is worse. I think the Big 12 would look far better if they had gone with Memphis over UCF.

    UH was in a power conference once upon a time, same goes for Cincy who won some basketball titles back in the day as well. BYU is basically the closest you could get without being in the club.

    And then there is UCF. Never been in the club. Didn’t join D1 until 1985. Had 1 good year of football but brings little else to the table. They are basically Boise State in a better market.

    Memphis (who also was never in the club either) has final four basketball success and a longer history of football, just without that one undefeated season.

    Let me ask it another way. If new school #12 becomes a permanent cellar dweller in football, who would be the best fit. UCF on an island next to nobody, or Memphis far closer to the geographic center of the conference that has sports other than football on its resume?

    Counter point:  UCF has a huge Alumni base and it's growing.  Largest University in the US (or second)  They have flirted with real success and claim a MNC.  Gives recruiting anchor in Fl and an easy place to get to and from for travel.

    I went to a "Game" there...  Tickets were $7 and the beer was cold and delivered to your seat.  One of the rowdiest environments I've ever seen from a "party during the game" perspective.  They dropped 60 on some other directional school and people were getting carried out in stretchers.  They make SEC schools look down right puritanical.  Oh yeah, the sound system was fantastic, I didn't recognize any of the music, but from the girls dancing all around to the music, I feel confident that was a me issue.  #GenXproblems
