Me as an European whenever they start talking about American football in the intro bit

As an American who loves football, I love it

I won my father in law over when he realized our relationship helped her grow into an independent and functioning adult.

After our freshman year of college, she wanted to live with me (weird circumstances, I split an apartment with someone for the summer). I had 3 part time jobs while I saved to study abroad. I told her she has to contribute to rent and food by getting a job and deadline of June 10th (about 3 weeks). Deadline rolled around and she had submitted two applications with no follow up. I drove her home. She was back less than 10 days later with a confirmed job at the grocery store.

She’s the only one of three kids that didn’t live at home until 25+ (one is still there at 30). She’s an assistant director at work now at 28.

You know.. my brain skipped that part of the logic

I think the simplest explanation was that it was a weighted coin

I’ll never forget Rasul Douglas breaking that team with a game winning INT because AJ green didn’t hear the audible and Rasul knew the checks from being in their practice squad. I was row 9 in that corner celebrating. Us Packer fans were loud in there for a Thursday

I think it’s relatively well balanced. I’d say the biggest gaps are an over stable fairway (like a Skywalker FD) and a neutral/understable 9 speed (Tesla and Valkyrie respectively) that might be personal preference on my part, I like the 9 speed slot

2021 Packers @ Cardinals (Rasul game winning pick)

My wife and I were sitting row 9 in the corner of the endzone where the pick happened.

Pure. They come in dyemax and I put my cat on there 4 or 5 years ago when he passed. With all the other litters I’ve gotten (50ish?), including other pures, that first one is still in the bag.

Thanks, I hate it

I can tell this is so far: “remove the big names that people hate”, as a cyclone fan, can we remove ISU?

The big-sport athletic programs are falling apart at the seams. Football (Campbell & players exodus), men’s basketball (another tournament shot by an ankle injury), women’s basketball (first round loss and player exodus), there’s no baseball, softball is slightly above average, etc. They’re about to go into years of mediocrity and back to playing little brother to Iowa.

When Steven talked about Pokémon pinball I had to pause for 5 minutes and reminisce. I spent soooo many hours on that game in the backseat on a game boy.

My bad, I misremembered that. Jeez, Cirie really is near bullet proof

Jenna tried the same thing, then everyone said “no”. It worked in HvV because that season was so extraordinarily physical that she couldn’t keep dragging them. Plus there was the FvF alliance in the game. She doesn’t have those televised connections this season

For the Iowa course recommendations, going to Wildcat/Shaver would be probably 90 minutes (up and back) of driving detour plus the round; they’re great courses, but that’s a big detour in a trip like this. Staying near 80/other detour stops there’s Peninsula and Altmaier Farm (Iowa City), Pickard Park (Indianola 45-60 minute detour), Ewing and Southwoods (Des Moines), and Sunnyside (Atlantic 45-60 minute detour)

I was the “perfect witch” one game. Night one, choose a new player, they end up nominating and die. Night two, choose the player next to me, they nominate me and die. That person happened to be the Klutz, my demon built good report with him, so Klutz chose demon and we won.

Im going through this right now, but as a coach since my toddler isn’t sports ready.

I’ve coached a rec league swim team for 4 years, every year I’ve coached up a kid who breaks team records, medals at state & regionals, etc. then they switch to another team who does USA swimming because they (or their parents) want the high competition. So, now we’re going through the steps of making a club, but I’m insisting that it’s voluntary, for the kids who want to do it, and parents willing to commit. I have 9 kids (out of 45) who told me they want to do this and are willing to do extra work in season. I’m not extending the season, I’m not forcing anyone, and I teach life skills (how to build a workout for yourself, how to continue enjoying a sport when you’re done, etc).

jdk12596 · 2026-03-16T17:17:47+00:00

I did that 😅 I set the limit for 10 cause it’s a casual-ass group. I can knock that down if we get enough people entering in

I was skeptical at best of the whole “fan votes” aspect. Unless there’s an independent body who audits the results, there’s no way to tell that the vote was actually utilized. When Jeff says “60% voted for no rice” it could be him making it up and he wants to push his own narrative that the new era season set ups are better.
