I think the in-group here is an aspirational one. The real trick is convincing a huge percentage of the population that they're one great bet/investment, one fortuitous inheritance, one big tax break away from joining that in-group and being set for life.

Even at the high school level there aren't too many teams with totally shambolic kicking games anymore, which honestly kind of makes me sad.

I think we're starting to see the results of good instruction reaching a far wider talent pool at all levels of the game. Hawaii's very good Japanese kicker who learned purely from watching YouTube videos is still the most astonishing example of that, but I think it's happening everywhere.

Stockton made that play happen IMO. Thomas was maybe the third or fourth option there and Stockton gave himself enough time to cycle through the other ones while still having the presence of mind to find him.

NGL a phishing scam with that as the subject would work on me every time

Would have been much funnier to see him drop in as Wisconsin's sporadic bowl game interim from this position, you have to admit

Walmart's delivery option has rendered the gigantic fill-up-the-cart grocery store trip mostly extinct for us, and gives us 3 hours of our week back.

The sit-down Pizza Hut locations are still significantly better than the carryout/delivery-only ones, if you can find them. I always assumed it was something about the ovens or the whole process there that was different.

Yeah this hits ACC fans harder than anyone else this time around. There's pretty much no alternative to forking more money over to Disney there.

My wife uses it for non-sports TV more than I use it for sports, so unless this dispute drags on for a while we're pretty much locked in. But to your point, decent antennas are also cheap these days but that doesn't mean people are actually very inclined to go buy them.

I know it's different with every conference and team, but Disney putting every big SEC game on ABC now might actually undermine their position in this part of the country.

01.11.2025 13:29 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Not sure about that in the short term. I'll just set up the old antenna and get by with watching the big ABC games along with what's on the other networks, and I suspect that others will do similar things. YTTV's UI, family sharing, and recording tools make it hard to drop in just 1 weekend.

Hey man he gets to call his realtor today, he should be feeling pretty good!

Sorry, man. That's a really hard thing to go through.

And we know that because he's attempted it a couple of times

Stanford has nearly traveled far enough to circumnavigate the globe and Miami *in the same conference* has yet to leave their home state.

The Human Comedy races were easily my favorite part (and one of my favorite experiences in a videogame) even if I started on the Maggiore one about a million times before finally nailing it.

As soon as we are in a bigger house the wheel is coming back out and I'm going to try and work my way back into it. Feel like it's going to take a while to even be competent again.

Would be convenient because that's about all FSU could afford to pay after buying Norvell out

Sark recruiting and fundraising off of Manning's name while masking his crippling flaws over the course of multiple years is a pretty incredible con, honestly. It would have worked if they had an actually good QB somewhere on that roster!

I would say Todd Grantham must already be on staff as an analyst, but his defenses at least had edge rushers.

If that place wasn't so expensive I'd be there every weekend

To me I guess it just depends on pricing. My understanding is that Apple TV and F1 TV are about the same price, so it's pretty much all the same to me. I'll miss having all the main broadcasts conveniently available on YouTube TV and do think it's bad for the growth of the sport, though.

17.10.2025 14:31 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Mostly just seems like Apple TV is trying to become one of the streaming services that basically everyone has by default, but I really don't think this gets them too much closer. Sounds like F1 TV might be included for subscribers as part of the deal, though? That would make it somewhat palatable.

Florida coaches do have a habit of trying to revive their careers in the Carolinas...

That call was partially correct (should have been a Georgia touchdown)

Pretty sure he still has a place on Lake Oconee and a lot of time on his hands now, so it's probably worth keeping track of his whereabouts.

Parts of Florida are nice. Gainesville is not one of them and is not particularly close to any of them, either. UF has also been known to underspend on facilities and infrastructure, their administration is an absolute wreck, and the state government is doing its best to make it worse.

They do not have the kind of money that people think they do. None of the Florida schools have it, to be honest, and that has kind of always been the big roadblock to sustained success down there.

I don't know that either school can outbid IU, honestly. You're going to have to pay him north of $10 million a year fully guaranteed to even have a chance of pulling him out of there.
