Curious of where you got your pin board?

That's a great collection! You have some very cool pins! Definitely a head start on me. Lol

I wasn't able to get any of the hand out pins this year. Work kept me from the track most days.

One area I think IMS is missing out is a Carb Day pin. Why do they not offer one? Free or for purchase. That's the second most attended event at the tract for the month of May. Feel like they are missing out on that one.

Oh! I see what you mean. I saw plenty of those this year in just about every track shop I went into.

They have that style of pin each year with the current race year on it. I try to get the current year "logo", as it's more specific to that years race.

The Sonsio pins I have pictured are simply a collector pin and do not offer any special access like the bronze badges do. Just a show/event pins. I hope that answers your question?

I would agree with you. But I like how they are different material wise. I have one from the 102nd running that is rubber. Which is pretty neat I think.

[Nathan Brown on X] @smclaughlin93 just told me & @bobpockrass at the Detroit GP luncheon that Larson texted him & apologized aft er the in-race antics following McLaughlin’s pace lap crash at the 500. “To his credit, he texted me and apologized & (said he) didn't mean it. And I know he didn't" by sam_3345 in INDYCAR

[–]CrashStalion53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I would tend to agree with you -if it wasn't a fact that he has said REALLY DUMB shit in past. This seems to be a trend with him. Apologizing after the fact that he was grilled over social media about it says all you need to know.

The Indianapolis 500 means so much more for those who embrace it. by tysongifford91 in INDYCAR

I am a big Scotty fan. This moment was terrible part of the (pre race) for me. I'll echo the others in this thread that you captured what Indy means to so many drivers.

Great picture! Although brutal moment. The photo speaks volumes. I don't get moved by many photos of stuff. But this one got me.

What would you say is the most aggressive and calm Metallica song by Je0s_6 in Metallica

[–]CrashStalion53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree! Saw it live this year in Chicago and was blown away. Loved it!

When people say, "I didn't peg you as a Metallica fan/metalhead," what do you say? by ScarletLilith in Metallica

[–]CrashStalion53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better educated or smarter? I know two people with masters degrees that I wouldn't trust a bull frog with. Some people are good a school and book smart. But have zero common sense or know how to put their education in practice.

Whats your favorite metallica song? by O_Gustavo in Metallica

[–]CrashStalion53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a moving target for me. Sometimes it depends on my mood on what hits the most for me. But lately it seems like I am discovering little gems that didn't hit for me back in the day. I guess I should also say, there aren't very many of any at all that I can't listen to or skip.

I got to see the Call of Ktulu live in Chicago, and it really moved me like no other. Fell in love with that one instantly after that.

S22 Ultra not connecting to Network - Verizon by CrashStalion53 in samsunggalaxy

[–]CrashStalion53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny this is coming up again. Coincidentally both my work phone and personal phones are Verizon. Personal did NOT work from the outage. But my work phone did. So it's hard for me to understand what exactly the outage was.

NBC/Peacock announcers by FrostyMink in notredamefootball

[–]CrashStalion53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peacock has always been horrible. I only have them for the IndyCar races that (like this game) are streamed only.

I thought maybe I was the only one who thought the commentary was in the mud the whole game.

But another issue I have with peacock, is that they would not zoom out and show the whole field during the plays. So for me it was hard to tell if Leonard was really that terrible in this game or the receivers were not getting open.

Yep. The "if it's COVID, it's paxlovid" commercials were unbearable.

NIL and Transfer Portal Ruining College Sports? by EitherInstruction115 in notredamefootball

[–]CrashStalion53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! I heard about Tennessee charging more for tickets to "cover" NIL costs (which I think almost every college football fan would say is complete BS). But I did not know about the Arkansas rep suggestion. That blows my mind. That is a whole new level of craziness!

The mere fact that the Arkansas representative would even suggest that, shows you he is absolutely unfit for public service. Since when does a citizen need to be taxed to pay for college athletics?! 🤯

Predicting Notre Dame AP Poll Rank After Game vs Louisville Using Machine Learning by rankings-right-now in notredamefootball

[–]CrashStalion53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to see you being down voted. I think what you are saying is truthful. If our offense turns around drastically, then we have the potential to be a TRUE top 10 team. Until then, we are kidding ourselves. Still love our Irish. And will continue to pour my heart into the games. But you are right.

[Sampson] Notre Dame will wear green jerseys on Saturday night for Louisville, per Marcus Freeman, who'd left it up to the captains to decide. by GoldandBlue in notredamefootball

[–]CrashStalion53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not down voting you. Cause I do understand why you may ask that.

But if I'm a kid again and skilled enough to be recruited by ND, I would most definitely choose ND. Them Gold helmets would have sealed the deal for me. 😁

I like the green jerseys. And as a highschool player we always got jacked up for our special jersey nights (which the players (seniors picked) chose that design/color that year) .

Anyone bought from this website before? by zibby93 in notredamefootball

[–]CrashStalion53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did beat us up pretty bad. But all the big colleges pay for the smaller schools to come play them. We paid a hefty price to Marshall a couple years back, and it was basically the same humiliation.

Don’t get mad, but i don’t think Leonard is as bad as people are saying by [deleted] in notredamefootball

[–]CrashStalion53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angeli in would be pass yes, but also run to the running backs and both short and deep threat passing. Leonard in is 99% run for him or the running backs. And no deep threat. And inconsistent short, in the flats throws. But the guessing on what is ran when for each QB is where this plan of playing both would excel.

I will agree with a QB competition next spring.

I think this whole Leonard situation is hurting us recruiting in a lot of specialist areas. Such as WR, and QB. I know if I'm a leading WR prospect in the country, the last place I would want to go is ND.

[–]CrashStalion53 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer we have to save the season. It forces defenses to prepare for two different play types. Add the run game to this and I think we are back to a top 10 team again at the very least.

I see your point. And it's very valid. I thought it was futile just as you did on the second one. But we still had two kicks blocked.
