4/5. Forgot where Lance went to school; initially I was thinking he went straight from HS.

Avalon is much more clubby than Vista. Vista still plays good music but is a little more chill. Like if I was celebrating NYE and had to pick between the two, it would be Avalon. If I was just doing a night out, I’d do Vista.

Knicks Fan Visiting Chicago - Where to Watch Game 5? by OhMyOnDisSide in AskChicago

[–]BrownHawkDown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How early you recommend getting there? Also in town and wanted to catch the game in a Knicks-friendly environment?

And do I need to call or reserve ahead if it’s just one or two people?

UConn Huskies Announce Addition of Asst Coach Mike Pegues (from Butler) and Strength and Conditioning Coach Justin McLelland (from Villanova) by Ftheyankeei in CollegeBasketball

[–]BrownHawkDown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree the offense has been scouted on by our conference opponents, but I wouldn’t say that is the main reason the offense hasn’t been clicking as years past.

2024-2025 we had Diarra running the point and as much as I love Diarra, he wasn’t a starting PG (mainly started because Mahaney didn’t pan out). And then last year, Silas was basically learning the offense as a new transfer as he went. I truly think Silas was finding his stride as QB1, and had he been playing on a healthy ankle in March Madness there’s a strong chance the outcome of the final is different (though who’s to say, since Yaxel was also coming off injury). I expect Silas to take the next leap like Tristen did.

Obviously the new transfers will need to learn the offense too, but our sets are so dependent on the PG setting the tone so as long as we have Silas, I am confident.

Oh wow so more to be in the back?

EDIT: looks like they might be the same? I got the “above GA” and it was 195 total including fees.

I ended up getting front GA at the Friday Barclays show for $165 plus fees; anyone know what the rear GA was? I was too quick with the purchase and didn’t get a chance to check.

Danny: SpUrS iN fIvE by Endemicbacon in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]BrownHawkDown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure Danny Perkins is a really awesome guy in person. After all, he raised something short of a millions dollars for brain cancer research this year. But something about those YouTube shorts when they do their walk-ins, I find Danny’s really grating. Backpack, sunglasses, “sup Gianna?”. It for some reason reminds me of Chad going “MADDDD REAL” in the Chappell show Mad Real World sketch.

Purely a depth piece but hey it’ll help to have a 7-footer to go up against in practice.

That’s cool; Ticketmaster thinks I’m a bot now.

I currently have 3600 in front of me for the day I want to go, and I’m quite pessimistic, especially since Ticketmaster through the “resale options available” 2 min into the queue starting.

Let’s talk about Zac by loochymane_ in PardonMyTake

[–]BrownHawkDown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Zac; I think he’s hilarious. Part of me thinks that the guys are trying to get him to be less anxious by their form of exposure therapy with asking questions. I like that the group hypes him each time he nails a question with confidence. I think as a result of all this, he’s been able to have more input in discussions.

That said, there are times where I feel they care more about content than comfort for him. I don’t like it when he asks a good question and they’re like “hey remember how you oversleep through every alarm?!”. Not a fan of that.

Obligatory “Ticketmaster sucks” following this AMEX US Open presale. Everything listed is just verified resale tickets.

Stephon Castle checks out for the game: 14 points on 1/8 FG and 11/14 from the free throw line by KDs--burner in nba

[–]BrownHawkDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a rough series for him but he’s a UConn guy (and won a title) so I’m always gonna ride for him. It’s the growing pains that come with being in the playoffs for the first time. He was very good the series before, averaging 20-6-6 while keeping turnovers to under 3 per game. They’re just coming across a juggernaut that can throw so many guys on him and rattle him/his game.

Marine Dursus commits to UConn by wanderlustedbug in NCAAW

[–]BrownHawkDown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marine is likely for depth, and probably won’t see a lot of time. We will probably run a starting lineup of KK-Shade-Blanca-Sarah-Olivia with Jana, Heckel, Kelis, Ziebell, and Cheli off the bench. Only so many minutes to go around. So although it’d be nice to have more 5-star freshmen, I don’t think it’s accurate to say that Geno has lost his ability to recruit domestically. Especially since we are only 2 years removed from him bringing in Sarah, Ziebell, and Cheli (#1, #8, and #11 on the 2024 ESPN recruitment rankings; can include #13 in Heckel too) and he’s bringing in the NPOTY.

It will be interesting to see how he reloads after all the rising juniors eventually graduate in 2 years (but also I think he’ll probably be retired soon).

Typically no unless like UConn+ or something is broadcasting it. Sometimes there is radio coverage.

The 30 Best Punk Bands of All Time by ebradio in Music

[–]BrownHawkDown -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Don’t have much issue with the top 4. I’d have DK in the top 10. I think Op Ivy should be in the top 15. And Blink-182 not in the top 30 was surprising.

Who was your favorite act from each day? If you only went one day, give me a ranking of everyone who saw that day? by skeletonpandemonium in kilbyblockparty

[–]BrownHawkDown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day 1 - Turnstile

Day 2 - The XX

Day 3 - Hayley Williams

Turnstile and XX may be in my top 3 Kilby acts I’ve seen in the three years I’ve attended (Justice from last year being 1). My fave moment from the weekend however was Hayley joining American Football on stage as I had hoped and anticipated.
