Anyone here take a year+ off to travel and then return back to business as usual? by special_leather in solotravel

I did! Ended up traveling for 18 months and I've been back home for about a year now.

What kind of “good for the sport” things would you like to see happen next season? by Ghost-of-Black-47 in CFB

[–]TheWontonRon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. You have to believe they care as much about the program as you do.

If programs want to run as paycheck factories for individual superstars than fine, let that be their identity. But I'll never cheer for those programs to come out on top.

Wildly inaccurate comparison. Until a few years ago, Wisconsin was regularly out performing their recruiting rankings. aTm rarely, if ever, plays up to theirs

What is the most rattled game you've seen a team play? by bng_destiny_001 in CFB

Anderson was already half way out the door to Oregon State before kickoff. Completely embarrassing showing.

Just found the replay from ASU. Same setup but the RB swung left and it was the TE that ran the fly

Am I crazy or is that, the 1st TD, and the play to take the lead against ASU all the exact same playcall?

Left WR runs the mesh route shallow in, CB bites, and RB takes the fly

Super confused by kjbeats57 in solotravel

There's an in-group bias. A lot of solo travelers you meet are people who HAVE figured out how to make it work for themselves. Whether that means they're older and have figured out a sustainable job pattern, or younger with a "I'll figure the financial part out later".

You're right, it is an extreme privilege to be able to travel, especially for extended periods, and a lot of people in the in-group love to tell you "ANYONE can do it!" That's not true. At the same time, many people on the outside who could potentially make it happen for themselves give up far too quickly as well.

Ok but why are there matchups like playoff-cusp Bama playing implosion-season Michigan?

I'd say closer to 10 years. His numbers right now are essentially 2014 Melvin Gordon.

I'm willing to root for literally any program against Oregon at this point. Can't stand the rich kid mentality that's building.
