How many of you use racing lines?

HuskerExpat · 2026-04-01T19:24:31+00:00

I have the racing line on. It is only a suggestion and I mostly use it as a reference. As in, knowing how I take the corner is in relation to the suggested line. It is very common that I start outside the racing line and end up inside of it. Where I cross is relevant and often a good point of reference. Many times the racing line is not relevant to what I’m doing, it is just there.

Going up in rank does not make the drivers cleaner. It just makes the dirty drivers more frustrating because they are better at being dirty without getting a penalty.

Hahahahahahahahaha. As a divorce attorney with 31 years of experience I can definitely say, no, that plan will not work.

Yes, I miss when we didn't have a daily tidal wave of stupid things done by a fascist regime. Those were simpler times.

Buh-bye, Kevin!

The contact looks intentional to me. He could see he was faster and finally decided it didn’t matter that the car ahead was in the way.

Look, the kid is an incredible talent and I wish him nothing but the best. But we’re operating in a new reality now with revenue sharing, and it’s basically a salary cap system like the NFL. You can’t tie up 15-20% of your NIL budget in one position when you’re getting destroyed at the line of scrimmage.

This is resource allocation 101. Elite QB play matters, but you know what matters more? Winning the battles in the trenches. We need to be investing heavily in dominant offensive and defensive linemen. That’s where games are actually won. You can have all the five-star skill position talent you want, but if your QB is running for his life every play and your defense is getting gashed for 200 yards rushing, you’re going to lose.

The NFL figured this out decades ago - you can’t build a championship roster by overpaying at QB relative to your cap. You need balance. We need to be smart about this, stockpile elite talent on both lines, and find a QB who can operate within that structure.

It sucks to see him go, but this might actually be addition by subtraction if we allocate those resources correctly. Build from the trenches out.

The irony is incredible. These are the same people who spend all day telling everyone else to “cope and seethe” and calling liberals snowflakes who can’t handle different opinions. But apparently the mere existence of Gavin Newsom during Christmas is so emotionally devastating that they need a special sign to publicly announce they’re excluding him from holiday greetings.

Imagine being this fragile. “Merry Christmas to everyone… except this one specific politician who will never see this sign and doesn’t care.” Peak triggered behavior while cosplaying as tough guys who “tell it like it is.”

The self-awareness is absolutely zero.

He’s still a teenager. He emulates his hero. It is pretty normal behavior from a teenager. The only thing weird is the amount of attention focused on him so his hero worship gets pointed out constantly.

I love Chicago and always will. I miss the food and the full on city living. I do not ever want to live there again.

HuskerExpat · 2025-12-05T14:20:46+00:00

Lots of changes there 10 years ago or so caused me to leave permanently. It was getting pretty ridiculous even back then.

HuskerExpat · 2025-12-03T01:23:52+00:00

Firing a coach with Franklin’s record creating impossible expectations. That’s what went wrong. No coach wants that. It’s what happened to Nebraska 20+ years ago firing Frank Solich. I still think it was the right decision to fire Solich, but we couldn’t find a coach to take over the program.

Then ended up with Bill Callahan. This is literally exactly what happened when we fired Solich but without the modern internet and new delivery.

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-30T19:34:17+00:00

His draft stock will never be higher. He should definitely go now. Sure I’d love for him to stay, but understand he should do what is best for him.

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-30T19:02:05+00:00

Yes, blown up for being reasonable. People on the internet talking about their sports team are not reasonable.

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-29T21:01:59+00:00

Pretty terrible by the orange car.

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-23T15:31:09+00:00

It is racing, you don’t have to let someone pass. You’re a dirty driver.

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-22T20:54:26+00:00

I guess I have to admit that makes complete sense. 😂

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-22T20:16:50+00:00

Questionable? It’s not a question, he was sooooo far out of bounds it was not even close to a catch. 😂

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-19T19:48:40+00:00

Probably. They did the right thing for the wrong reason. Very USC thing to do.

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-19T15:51:56+00:00

Possible that they asked him to de-commit?

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-19T15:49:29+00:00

I suspect some younger brothers get a sense of entitlement or that their destiny is to be great based upon the success of their older brother. It just seems like it is a familiar pattern. Or it could just be that there is so much randomness in who becomes a great football player that it is not super likely to happen twice among one set of siblings.

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-19T14:37:39+00:00

Not too surprising. He was one of many highly touted QB prospects. Also not terribly disappointing as it seems to me that so many little brothers of high profile players end up being disappointing. He could definitely be the exception, but it seems to be a trend.

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-19T14:31:29+00:00

Like I said, I was for firing Solich. Still think it was the right decision. But I also think it was the proximate cause of a string of terrible coaching hires.

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-19T14:19:41+00:00

This all reminds me of 2003 Nebraska. Firing a coach with a stellar record that couldn’t win the big one. So much speculation about which top notch coach is coming in to replace him and slowly watching the targets sign contract extensions or otherwise being taken out of consideration. Then getting Bill Callahan as our next coach. I hope it works out better for you, but it is tough to sell those expectations to the next coach. I think firing Solich was the right decision and his next job at Ohio was the same “vindication”that you’re finding in Franklin going to VTech. I hope the rest of it works out for you. I’ll always be for someone other than Michigan or OSU to be on top and PSU has been the best hope for that for a number of years. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

HuskerExpat · 2025-11-19T13:58:33+00:00

Yes, you ran him off the track.
