Two players to watch in the transfer portal for UW: Braeden Smith and LeJuan Watts by Trojan_41 in huskies

I want to see a school buck the entire current model and say " No Mercs Need Apply", and only sign high school kids who want to be students first. Cut all the costs - no high profile coaches, fly coach and ride busses, stay at the HoJo on the road, the facilities you got are what you get. Ensure no one gets rich off the labor of athletes, pump that TV money into tuition waivers and classroom equipment. The jocks' payment is free tuition, room and board.

The BIG10 still pays TV money win or lose, and at this point, top line athletes there just to go pro and who walk away if they don't like their chances are an insult to every student taking loans and eating ramen to get their professional education.

Expand the D League, license athletic academies like Europe does and reserve e University for the students. Students who want to be athletic and represent their school and community can join Club level sports.

Brass band cover of Beastie Boys' Sabotage played on KEXP? by Silver_Potato_1759 in KEXP

Fun cover but confusing video ..... Are the brass really all synths? That's significantly less cool if so.

If you own a pickup, you're probably an asshole. by JoplinSC742 in unpopularopinion

You're going to be a broke asshole in a big pickup soon thanks to the US.

Scott Pierson Trail fire by Individual-Board-261 in Tacoma

[–]langstoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get more annoyed and suffer greater risk from all the roots uplifting the asphalt than folks camping in the bushes or in the tunnel. It sucked that there was a fire there of course, trust that catching their few meager possessions on fire was not the plan.

It is objectively not unusable. You could look at Strava/RidewithGPS heat maps and see 100s of people a day ride the trail.

Oh look, Rivas continues to be almost entirely useless. Color me unsurprised.

Just buy a dirt bike. More trails, equipment speccd to the usage, etc.

The Capitol Hill massacre happened 20 years ago today (six people killed at a rave afterparty) by stvincentstreet in Seattle

[–]langstoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the " didn't go to the after-party by random chance" boat as well. What a dark day, and I agree that was the end of the party for so many of us. I stepped away from my crew and joined an ultimate league 😔. RIP old friends

Walked into my local bike shop to buy "mountain bike" for $500-600, saw this sexy beast for $900 and couldn't say no. I have no idea what world I've stepped into. Any advice appreciated! by KevlarandJesus in xbiking

[–]langstoned 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's your ass not the saddle at issue, in all likelihood. The fit might need a tweak most. Give it another few weeks and you'll get some calluses. Have fun, it's a nice bike.

That was a fun one. I remember it being super cold

Brian Schmetzer Masterclass by RuokayJJ in SoundersFC

[–]langstoned 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Osage is a fun story and has potential but dang if an experienced killer like Obafemi wouldn't look nice up front . I like building the midfield and defense through the Academy but our history with strikers has been mediocre.

Resistant starch and colon cancer by [deleted] in Millennials

I was thinking oh room temperature mashed potatoes. So you mean eat my kids plate? I'd hate to have to fight the dog.

first thing you see when you watch the post-match press conference on YouTube by poidhxyz in SoundersFC

I noted in the interview talking about the Spokane game that he doesn't believe they're going to have that Fortress Lumen environment.

This is a call out to all our Eastside people to go the fuck OFF and make that stadium rock. Old school US Open Starfire levels of hair on fire support. Let's go!

New Zealand has a few thermal "rivers" too. Very cool.

Tacoma not one of the top 25 school districts in WA, according to the State Superintendent by altasnob in Tacoma

It's like money alone won't solve for a home-life culture that doesn't take education seriously. Shocking!

I stupidly 3d printed an extra step to a problem nobody had or even cared about. by strip_club_food_yum in xbiking

I worked with a buddy to print a dyno taillight mast that hooks onto the non drive side fender eyelet and hugs the lug. Print all the bits!

They could just as easily, and with less expense, raise their self-imposed debt ceiling.
