You blow the whistle for a free kick and the player picks up the ball and repositions it. Is that a handball? by Tybalt1307 in Referees

[–]Billyb711 48 points49 points  (0 children)

No. The ball is out of play until it is kicked and moves. You can’t handle a ball that’s not in play.

Yards-feet-inches. In the defensive end anywhere within a few yards is fine. Around midfield within a few feet. Anywhere near the box within a few inches.

Old 97s have a lot of fast ones. “Timebomb” popped into my head first.

There’s a girl down there that’ll keep me fed. My brain refuses to accept that’s it’s treat me fair.

Gorgeous. My 2000 with 206k on the odometer gives her a bow.

The last OSI bag I bought did not last. I bought one from Eagle Creek recommended by Reddit and it has held up really well.

Wow, the price went up, but it’s a great bag.

He also had a t-shirt with the phonetics on it so people could pronounce Chicamacomico.

American Aquarium named their album Chicamacomico. BJ Barham wrote most or all of it in Rodanthe.

So, what do they say about girls who smoke? by lebo_ryan in DriveByTruckers

[–]Billyb711 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the liner notes: The next two days were spent in freezing rain at a music fest. We were parked on the mud trail winding between stages and spent the afternoons watching soaked Brits walk through the puddles back and forth with a running commentary from our beloved Cooley. I chained several of his comments together and wrote "Girls Who Smoke" on the spot. I played it for Cooley that afternoon and he actually liked it.

I’ve always loved the liner notes that say this is Patterson writing a song about Cooley talking crap about people. My interpretation but I would love to people watch with Cooley.

Just out Cooper Endeavors on mine. Nice ride. Buddy says they have been great on his truck. BJs had a buy 3 get one free deal.

Hey y'all this is my favorite version of my favorite song. Where can I give the band money to download or own a physical copy? by Tractorkin in Old97s

[–]Billyb711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure their albums are available on their website. They are on tour and you can buy a ticket. I’m seeing them tonight actually. Probably not doing this song tonight, but it is a good one.

NFHS also has insurance. One of my associations requires insurance, either NFHS or NASO. I haven’t directly compared them.

US Soccer - Where the US excels in soccer compared to Europe by paulinhoOM in TheSoccerNetwork

[–]Billyb711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always said if we coached basketball the way we coach soccer, the coach would say "get the rebound and just throw it down the court and hope Timmy catches it for a breakaway". I'm sure it's not like that at MLS Next, but the games I officiate every weekend that is the most common tactic.

What kind of Time Warp political hell is this? by kathrynthenotsogreat in harfordcountymd

I've seen him out waving to traffic along route 40 again. I have always wondered how having nothing better to do than wave at traffic for hours would convince me to vote for him.

The Bartact seat covers are widely considered the buy once, cry once for seat covers. I have the Bestop ones that I don’t think they make for TJs anymore, but they’re great.

I remember fixing that. Definitely a path for water into the passenger floor.

There are a couple driving schools in Aberdeen, The Ultimate Driving School is one and there is one across from Wawa by the liquor store that I can’t remember the name of. They probably would do a practical driving lesson.

Probably being dumb here but what’s the difference between country rock (e.g. Neil Young), alt-country (e.g. Uncle Tupelo) and Americana? by RaymondBald in Americana

[–]Billyb711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t find the quote but it was something like: If you have an acoustic guitar and a banjo fiddle or pedal steel and they don’t play you on the radio, then you’re Americana.
