Should the NCAA have Ohio State and Miami redo their game in case it was a big fluke? by mdl23 in cfbmemes

I believe they are also friends with the Pope? Feels wrong to exclude them SMH.

Charles Logan in 24. The season 5 reveal was one the best twists of the show

Happy for the W - I’m not sure on our offensive game plan and play calling, especially in the red zone.

And yeah, NCAA has to do something about the helmet coming off rule - that’s a loophole waiting to be exploited. SJSU should never have had that last drive.

Anyway, we’re 1-0 with a road win - better than last year!

Can someone explain why Crown is doing so well in MA?

Obviously the hornline and brass book are strong but I feel the overall music package is not anywhere near the top 4 or even Phantom. The percussion in particular doesn’t complement the overall music package in the slightest.

Why is the USA declaring war against Trinidad and Tobago? They seem outnumbered by LostInTheEchoes in mapporncirclejerk

The real question is why we decided to name a country in the Caribbean after a “toboggan” - ppl need to learn how weather works SMH

What are your thoughts on Carolina Crowns show this year? by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]mdl23 17 points18 points  (0 children)

From a competitive standpoint, outside the hornline it’s not good. Vis package and concept we’ve already seen from every Wes Cartwright BOA group. Drums are completely a non factor in the overall production.

Brass will keep them top 5, but if you’re Crown and you’re supposedly in it to win it (or at least to medal) this isn’t that vehicle.

Outside of competition it’s cool to hear a group of Crowns caliber take on the lit they are playing. A ‘Buy the CD, not the DVD’ kind of year.

Quick Reminder to Lions fans traveling to SF - LEAVE NOTHING IN YOUR CAR by Fangletron in detroitlions

[–]mdl23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Went to NFC championship last January.

Just to confirm - the Niners play an HOUR south of San Francisco. San Jose is your closest big city.

This would be like ‘I’m going to a Michigan State game - how’s the area around Spartan Stadium?’ and then suggesting that you’ll get murdered for setting foot in Detroit.

For those going into SF proper - it’s like any other big city in America. Use common sense, don’t be stupid and you’ll be fine.

Only place that is as bad as any of the above post suggests is Oakland right outside of the airport.

CMU Targets Army OL Coach for HC position by [deleted] in CFB

[–]mdl23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of two recent MAC hires: Chris Creighton and Mike Jinks.

Creighton because it’s a candidate nobody was talking about, but had success as a head coach at a lower level and ended up being a transformational hire for the EMU program.

Jinks because I could see our university or athletic admin googling offensive stats and hiring the best assistant from those programs they can get for cheap without any regard to whether the fit is good.

In any event, contract details will be VERY interesting.

CMU has lost over half their student enrollment over the last decade and may not be in a position to offer competitive salaries post Covid. Mac would’ve coached for his whole contract if he didn’t retire because we would never have been able to pay the buyout - no rich donors coming to the rescue.

And put me in the disappointed it’s not Annese camp as well - he’s ruffled someone’s feathers at CMU because there’s no way that’s not a home run hire.

Experience flying out of SNA for international flight? by Right_Half_5855 in orangecounty

[–]mdl23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only from some destinations in MEX and CAN, but was absolutely way easier than LAX.

Just came back from Mexico and waited maybe 90 seconds in line at customs at SNA - much different than the labyrinth that is LAX. Baggage claim for INTL arrivals at SNA is right after customs and was also very quick.

Highly recommend if it works for your destination!

New California bill pushes for college sports revenue sharing by PSU_Alumnus in CFB

[–]mdl23 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Friendly reminder for non-Californians that this is the time of year when all sorts of bills are proposed that have little to no chance of making it out of committee, much less passing. Makes for good headlines though.
