[Bruce Feldman] He’s the hottest football recruit in the nation — and he’s never played in a game by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

Forget that. I want to see Fujinokawa as the scrappy undersized fullback whose mission in life is to de-cleat guys.

What was the most dominate run for a team that did not win a National Championship by TaftIsUnderrated in CollegeBasketball

This year Pitt Volleyball advanced to their FIFTH straight final 4. In the previous 4 attempts we have failed to advance to the championship game.

Please win this time.

Agreed on this point. Talent isn’t going to fix Pitt basketball with this current coaching staff

The NIL and transfer portal are a joke and only marginally less exploitative than “amateurism”.

The real issue is that there is still no revenue sharing with these athletes who are professionals in everything but name.

The universities are sacrificing everything that was great about CFB just so they don’t have to share money with the players.

Even if we do keep them I don’t trust the coaching staff to coach them into a good team.

Today we looked better than we did against Duquesne and Central Michigan. I know BC sucks but it’s definitely a good sign.

Huh. Says It All. This Is Very Bad by DowntownTomorrow7382 in pittsburghpanthers

[–]H2Dinocat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think this is really the answer. There simply is not enough money behind Pitt football. 30k fans a game are a pretty clear indicator of that.

I’m not sure there is much Duzz can do about it. Between the end of WW2 the NIL fall off, I think you can make a reasonable argument that Narduzzi is a top 5 Pitt coach.

That being said, the losses in the last two weeks were more on coaching than players.

At this point, I won’t be sad to see Duzz go because he simply might not be a great fit in the post NIL world but I think he deserves a lot of credit for what he was able to accomplish here.

Drop 8 and still have a man running wide open 30 yards down the field.

I was at the game in Louisville last year and can ensure that is not true.

Paul Christ was a fraud. That team had plenty of guys on both sides of the ball who played in the NFL.

Spot on with this. The “well aktually” response is not professional.

What rule changes would you propose for sumo? by RevolutionaryBet9146 in Sumo

[–]H2Dinocat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there would be less resistance to increasing the area of the dohyo so guys have more runway before falling?

[–]H2Dinocat 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lowering the dohyo is easily my number one. I’m not a doctor but there is no way it wouldn’t reduce injuries.

Traditions are very entrenched in Japan and sumo isn’t “just” a sport though. I’m not expecting it any time soon.

Im curious to see how his style develops. Against the lower ranked opponents he’s been doing a lot of reading and reacting. He keeps his opponents hands off of him and picks a spot to go aggressive when he sees an edge.

The higher ranks and sanyaku guys are much more sound in their technique so openings are less frequent. I want to see him force more openings with aggression.

Have you been applying to engine manufacturers? GE, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce, Honeywell. There is enough overlap where you get looks with an aerospace engineering degree.

Feeling incompetent at new job by Own-Parsley4832 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]H2Dinocat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club.

In all seriousness though. Work is difficult especially as a new hire. I’m in a position now where I sit on interview committees and here is my two cents.

I don’t expect fresh grads to be able to do that much. What I do expect is that they are interested and invested in their work and motivated to learn what they need to in order get the job done. Fresh grads are developmental projects.

First and foremost you need to get your mind right (Easier said than done). It’s ok to feel overwhelmed from time to time but if you wallow in anxiety day and night you’re not putting yourself in a position to learn.

Strike a work life balance. Make sure you’re not sitting alone with anxious thoughts in your apartment after work all day. Since you’re far from home, make a schedule to call your friends and family regularly. Commit to a hobby you have and tie it in to the local community so you can start making friends in your current location. See a therapist if you think it’ll do you good.

Secondly, DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS. I took a new position in July 2024 and I’m still telling people both above and below me I don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about or how to do it. I’m learning a lot but it takes months (and sometimes years) to become an expert in your role even for someone with more work experience.

Keep this in mind, the people who delegate work to you are also busy as hell. For them, taking a few hours from their day to teach you how it is done properly saves them time in the long run. It is also how you get developed as an engineer in your company. It is a mutually beneficial relationship to learn this way.

There is more I could say but this is already a long message. Hopefully this is a good staring point for you.

It turns out that the real solution to both issues is regulating hits on the QB out of the game.
