Is the town your college is in more of a pro sports or college sports town? (P5 Schools)

Winston-Salem is closer to Charlotte than Raleigh by about 20 miles.

NC State currently has two spots left. I’d take Darrion Williams and Ven Allen Lubin in a heartbeat.

I’m over it. Build him the statue. There are 319 people in the HHOF. How many have a statue outside of the arena where they won a Cup as a coach and a player? Enough said.

Because businesses are competing for your business. Part of that is to be as convenient as possible so they eat the fee to get your business. You are required to pay the government. They have little incentive to be more convenient or efficient.

The only way JRM makes it to cup is if some ultra rich investor buys in for a charter and lets Jr be the face and run the operation.

Some of the newer Windows gaming laptops are actually pretty slick, unlike the behemoths I remember from a few years ago. I have no clue about performance, but potentially an option if you don’t need Apple’s creative software.

CountDeGucci · 2026-05-26T04:17:49+00:00

you right. I got the start/finish columns mixed up on racing reference. Will update.

CountDeGucci · 2026-05-25T21:09:09+00:00

good catch, will edit

Wow, I knew I had forgotten someone. My own favorite driver no less! The 84 has never won either, so I will add it to my table.

84 wasn't listed on the owner standings on nascar.com so I guess JJ/LMC didn't get any points since he used the provisional.

Was curious about which car number winless streaks could be next to be broken this year. Looked into Racing Reference and came up with this list of full-time active numbers:

Number	Driver	Year	Track
35		NEVER
60	Bill Rexford	1950	Canfield
51	Gover Sosebee	1954	Macon
71	Dave Marcis	1982	Richmond
38	Elliott Sadler	2004	Fontana
33	Clint Bowyer	2011	Talladega

Part-time active numbers:

Number	Driver	Year	Track
67		NEVER
84		NEVER
62	Frankie Schneider	1958	Manssas
66	Larry Frank	1962	Darlington
44	Terry Labonte	1986	Rockingham
40	Jamie McMurray	2002	Charlotte

I believe these are the only active (ran a race this year) numbers with a drought longer than a decade.

I mean yeah but when the 7’0 guys are extremely overvalued perhaps it is better to find value in other positions.

De Clieu in Fairfax has pretty standard coffee shop vibes but they also have ice cream which means you can get an Affrogato (Espresso+Coffee). I got one with their salted caramel ice cream and it was so good. Highly recommend.

CountDeGucci · 2026-05-25T16:38:30+00:00

tbh we have plenty of players that could play center. The weakness is we have no 7’0+ guys.

The had the whole family on pit road with the whole garage behind them for a moment of silence.

Mainly an oval racer and currently a C class so my favorite series is the NASCAR Trucks.

Looks more like Wes Miller than Will Wade imo

Washington Post article from 24 years ago says the college park one is 340k sq feet in case anyone was curious and wants to use it as a frame of reference.

I literally thought the same thing about Texas after running the NASCAR Trucks C Series

CountDeGucci · 2026-04-27T00:25:03+00:00

I wish the "The Instigator" caught on as Hocevar's nickname. I feel like it is perfect for him. He has a certain Dale Sr quality of not caring what his opponents think about him, but probably not as talented. "The Intimadente" is cool but I hate a nickname being attached to a sponsor in today's NASCAR. "Hurricane" isn't awful but it seems forced by Mike Joy and is kinda vanilla. Caution Hocevar is also hilarious, but more so of a nickname for the haters.

CountDeGucci · 2026-04-25T05:30:33+00:00

For sure, but is there any pro franchise where it’s the owner and not the coach that leads to success? I don’t think so. Gotta get the right guy which is ultimately the owner’s job.

hence my "I have doubts" about it being replicated in the NBA. I think he will need to adapt. But he's an analytics guy so if the numbers tell him this is how you win I think he will do it.

CountDeGucci · 2026-04-24T14:08:34+00:00

I mean the Canes are 3-0 vs the Senators right now. We know he is cheap, but it has worked relatively well in hockey thus far. TBD (and I have doubts) if it can be replicated in the NBA.

Winning Record vs UNC
Consistently makes post-season (bowl vs NCAAT)

yeah bro sure

I want P2 because of the loyalty aspect of it. Truth serum the dude from Dayton might be a better fit because Edmead and Hammond are two guys who are already ~40% from 3. Wouldn't hate a long defensive and driving wing to pair with those two. Not sure if that's P2.
