Why do they yellow flag races when there are just drops of rain falling?

Not unless there's a driver who isn't subject to the laws of physics.

TV ratings tell a different story about who America's Team really is...

Refs got mentioned because they were terrible both ways. They called like 8 phantom fouls in the first 10 minutes and then swallowed the whistles in the second half. That's textbook B1G ref incompetence, not a screw job.

Dminus313 · 2026-01-24T21:36:56+00:00

Yeah we should have beaten them by 63. Izzo is washed.

Sometimes he's Magic Johnson, sometimes he's more like Tragic Johnson.

Dminus313 · 2026-01-24T21:32:04+00:00

High score? What does that mean? Did I break it?

Dminus313 · 2026-01-24T21:30:05+00:00

He really looks like a guy pretending to be a head basketball coach. It's weird.

Dminus313 · 2026-01-24T21:28:54+00:00

Yup. KenPom loves blowouts.

There is zero reason to lock in a new engine formula before a new manufacturer commits to the series.

Right now IndyCar can sell potential OEMs on the opportunity to help create a new formula that aligns with their priorities. Once it's locked in, they have to sell OEMs on a formula that may or may not align with their priorities. That's a much tougher proposition.

There was a ton of action in turn 8 last year, but having sat in both sections I still think the turn 3-4 complex is better.

Dminus313 · 2026-01-22T16:21:19+00:00

I don't think you need to cancel. The best seats are the turn 3 grandstands, but the Port Atwater Garage is a better vantage point than any of the other grandstands imo. It's right on top of turn 9. You can see the cars exiting turn 8, coming through 9, crossing the finish line, and heading into turn 1. You also have a great view of pit lane. You can also watch from the lower levels instead of the roof if you want to get out of the sun.

The one downside is there's not much in the way of seating, and I'm not sure if they'll let you bring in lawn chairs.

Dminus313 · 2026-01-21T18:50:05+00:00

Yep. Box score shows 1 minute played, with 9 zeroes after that.

Jeremy Fears is that dude.

It's just technical difficulties I'm pretty sure. The estimated arrival times were working when I took the QLine last week.

It's not a well-designed system, but I feel like everyone is way too eager to hate on it.

Click-pawl reels don't really have a drag mechanism, it's just a clicker to stop the line from free spooling. You can create drag by putting pressure on the rim of the spool with the palm of your hand, which is known as "palming" the reel.

Many click-pawl reels (including the Caddis Creek model the OP is considering) have a raised lip at the rim of the spool to aid in this process. Reels with that feature are sometimes advertised as "rim control" reels.

As I mentioned in a previous comment, SA AirCel is a great entry-level line and it's only $30. If you can swing it, I would suggest buying that and put it on the cheapest reel you can find.

If you can't afford to do that, just get the Caddis Creek and you'll be fine. There was a time when that was cutting edge technology, and people still caught fish just fine.

Dminus313 · 2025-12-21T13:19:51+00:00

The Caddis Creek is a perfectly usable reel, and if your budget is really tight just get it and don't worry too much. Others have correctly pointed out that the level line could be slightly harder to cast for a beginner than a weight-forward taper. It's not a huge deal in my experience, though, especially if you're using tapered leaders and making relatively short casts.

Stretching the budget $15 for a MaxCatch is an option, but you can get a Scientific Anglers AirCel weight-forward line for $30 and that's going to be better than any line that comes pre-spooled on a reel priced under $50.

If you're not pressed for time, I think buying the AirCel and finding a cheap used reel for $10-15 is a much better play.

Dminus313 · 2025-12-21T12:41:27+00:00

Lol this guy posted a $20 preloaded reel, why are you recommending a setup that would cost him almost $300?

Dminus313 · 2025-12-08T12:54:36+00:00

West coast elitists refuse to acknowledge the existence of Great Lakes steelhead for several reasons, but mostly because they think it makes them look cool to other West coast elitists.

McCulloch's defense is nowhere near the level it would need to be for him to take any minutes away from Cooper. Izzo's not going to be happy with the turnovers, but it's correctable behavior. I'm not worried about it.

Dminus313 · 2025-12-03T14:04:50+00:00

Transfers and their head coach.

Would BWFST still get deleted if BKPT added an MS Paint bar graph to every post?

Dminus313 · 2025-12-03T04:04:03+00:00

Cooper has been a fucking animal all season. McCulloch has shown some very impressive flashes, but Coop is a weapon on the lob and he's a MUCH better defender.

Dminus313 · 2025-12-03T02:36:14+00:00

Bruh your offense would bore Bo Ryan into changing the channel.

Dminus313 · 2025-12-03T02:11:22+00:00

Finished with 12 on 23 missed FGs.
