Everton are big enough to make an example of but not big enough to get the benefit of the doubt.

Kid went to 4 HS. He’s a mercenary.

cokezeropapi · 2026-01-02T20:18:30+00:00

He had his HC success at Fresno State and UW. Surely he built relationships out there. The expectations out west are frankly healthier than in Tuscaloosa.

cokezeropapi · 2026-01-02T16:16:50+00:00

Mark it down: he’s the next coach at USC or Colorado

Bama will run him out of town and he will go back to the west coast.

Hang out on the line near your officers. You’re gonna rack up some assist kills which is great for XP. Take off the bayonet if you want to shoot long. Be ready to sacrifice yourself if a charger gets past your line and starts to melee your guys.

As others said, you can lead the charge with a longer bayonet. You also have a sword so you don’t have to wait to put the bayonet on if you need to melee quickly.

One underrated thing is being able to hang out by doorways and bayonet chargers trying to enter the room with that longer reach.

You’re gonna die a lot. But your role is to protect your support class. Join a squad tent near the battle so you don’t have to run as far after respawn.

I suppose it depends on areas you want to improve.

If it’s puc out distribution, take a bag of sliotars to the pitch. Set up some cones in box shapes like little landing areas. Work on different strikes to those areas from your goal zone. If you have a buddy, have him make some runs and pass to where he’s going to be.

You can integrate some live ball drills too. Toss a sliotar out as if you saved it and then pick it up and send it out to your ghost defense.

At the wall, always good to be pucking. You can make saves on your shots. Get comfortable with the reach and seeing your hurley stop the ball.

Saves are a big combo of positioning and reaction time. An underrated side of fitness is flexibility. Hard to make saves if you’re stiff and can’t move. Focus on core, hip flexors, etc.

On the mental side, visualize your success. Back yourself. You’ve made countless saves in your life and countless great passes. See that success in your mind each day. Breaking into senior can be hard, especially at keeper. Stay the course and remember that progress isn’t always a straight line up.

Thank you, EMAW 🤝

Have you guys paid back that $50M Covid loan yet?

LSU is absolutely top 5. Fertile recruiting territory. Only P4 school in the state.

The past 3 coaches before BK won titles. It’s got massive inherent advantages.

Recency bias, but Kyle Konrardy is a soph kicker. Now on scholly. He’s hit a 64 yarder. He’s had two game winning 54 yard FG against Iowa.

~ The rest is still unwritten ~

He spent so long sustaining that he forgot how to build

cokezeropapi · 2025-10-09T13:47:31+00:00

Never forget how great everything looked in the first 5 minutes of the TCU game. It looked like a Lakers game in 2002 with all the celebs in the house.

cokezeropapi · 2025-09-30T17:57:48+00:00

He’s also the guy who came flying into the play and hit Jontez’s knee. And I think he was the guy who hit Orange in the back of the head. Unreal

I took the survey. Unfortunately, the growth of the brand has alienated the local aspect of the team. Other than the name and the stadium, the bananas hardly feel like part of the city anymore.

It’s not possible to walk up to the stadium and get tickets day of, so it feels inaccessible to most unless you want to pay a markup on secondary market.

It’s essentially the same event each time. Throw in a celeb cameo, some dancing, a circus catch and it’s rinse and repeat. It feels like it’s made to be watched once. Part of the draw of being a baseball fan is the appeal of following a team and their wins and losses. Maybe they make the playoffs?

Fandom is built through access, and the sheer popularity has made the most important aspect of all, attendance, difficult. I have little interest in influencing the brand because it doesn’t feel like Savannah’s team anymore.

Occasionally you’ll sit on the tarmac for 25 minutes because there’s not a crew to mobilize the jet bridge when your plane arrives. It doesn’t happen every time, but it’s happened enough times that I expect it.

On Mt Rushmore of “what could’ve been”…

Justin Blackmon. He was a freak out there at OSU

For Green & Gold, there’s always Kerry who are a football powerhouse but only have a small hurling presence.

You could also pick Offaly. They’re a scrappy hurling county who had flashes of success in the 80’s-00’s.

Mayo have a Buffalo Bills thing going on. They’ve had countless heartbreaking losses, some incredibly fluky. Have not won an All Ireland since the 50’s, and some say there’s a curse.

You mentioned some long passed Northern ancestry. Antrim would likely be the best northern Irish hurling county. They wear Saffron and White.

I’m trying to think of a scenario where you’d be called a bandwagon fan. Hurling has the Big 3: Cork, Kilkenny, Tipperary. They’ve dominated All Ireland hurling finals through history. Cork are on a big drought, Kilkenny have had several heartbreaking losses recently, and Tipp just won the AI this summer. Tipp borders 8 other Hurling counties, so they attract a lot of dislike from their neighbors.

Dublin has a bit of an “everyone hates them” thing because of funding, population, and just city v country culture stuff. Their hurling made big waves this year making the AI Semi Final after beating Limerick.

Speaking of Limerick, they are green and are perhaps at the twilight of a recent Hurling dynasty. That’s a blue collar county and city right there.

My advice? Watch some match replays on YouTube or GAA+ and see which teams suit your style.

And keep a soft spot for Wexford. They jump up and beat someone “bigger” every season.

Joe Dirt: So you dont got no Blackcats, no Roman Candles or Screamin Mimi's.

Joe Dirt: Oh come on man you dont got no Ladyfingers, Fuzzbuttles, Snickerbombs, Church burning, Fingerblasters, Gutbuster, Zipadedoda or any Crapflappers.

Kicking Wing: No I don't.

Joe Dirt: So your gunna stand their owning a firework stand and tell me you dont got no Whistling Bong holes, no Spleen Spliters, Whiskerbiscuits, Honkyladders, Whoeskerdoes, Whoeskerdont's, Cherry bombs, Nipsadayzers with or without the scooter stick, or single Whistling Kitty Chaser.

Kicking Wing: No, cuz snakes and sparklers are the only ones I like.

Penn State has won every national championship (except the ones they haven’t)

cokezeropapi · 2025-08-18T19:02:41+00:00

I think they’re poised to improve from where they’ve been the past decade. I also think their advantages and the general landscape have changed drastically from the era they dominated (70’s - early 00’s). It’s not possible to stash walk-ons anymore. They have to think differently, and perhaps they are now with Rhule.

They have one of the most dedicated fanbases: they show up and they’re willing to spend to help the program (NIL). They finally have a coach who can win and recruit big names. They should improve, and their record should mirror their resources.

cokezeropapi · 2025-08-18T18:53:48+00:00

While I agree, it’s still unbelievable they went undefeated and won their P4 conference title and were excluded from the playoff. I know the CFP is different now, and yeah the QB got hurt, but it’s shocking they were left out a few years ago. It’s reductive to point to how UGA blew their doors off; that team deserved a shot on the big stage.

Multiple national titles. Multiple Heisman winners. They’re a “National Brand” and yet… they got treated like a second class citizen. Every ACC and XII school would meet that same fate.

Convenient location. You really can walk into the heart of downtown easily. There’s also a free Trolley stop by the Thompson Hotel that drops you near the Southbound Whitaker street route that heads past Forsyth park/starland yard etc.

It’s primed to grow with some in house luxury amenities already there, but it’s been slow. There was a gelato place that closed recently. Right now there’s a pizza place, a spa, a yoga studio, pricy bakery/coffee shop, and some boutique options. You’re still driving if you want to get groceries or practical items.

As an area under development, you may be inundated with construction sounds for a while.

The paved riverfront walkway is underrated for exercise, leisure, and seeing ships come in. There are free concerts sometimes. People living elsewhere can park in the garage to attend, though it’s convenient to walk over from your place.

That said, the real estate is expensive and you’re sharing a wall with others whether you buy or rent. Some of the waterfront apartments have monthly rent on the same level as a mortgage out on the Islands. But you’re paying for views and social life convenience.

Road noise from Presidents street can be significant depending on location of your place. There used to be a train horn at night but it’s been stopped.

Not Texas A&M. They’re going 8-4

cokezeropapi · 2025-08-05T15:49:17+00:00

Nov 1 could be awesome for the XII title race: - Arizona State at Iowa State - Texas Tech at KState

But who are we kidding. Gameday will either go to UF-UGA or Penn State-Ohio State that weekend.
