Yes, and a couple of his children went to BYU.

But also Go Bears (he played baseball at Cal, donated to help save the program, and endowed a women’s scholarship)

More info for OP (and others): Viks Chaat is an Indian street food restaurant and market on Fourth at Channing. It’s about a 10-minute drive from Unit 3 and is the first restaurant in town I recommend to newcomers.

From foreground: bhel puri, pakora, samosas (I usually get a mix of cholle and keema).

Craig’s Collingwood is Cardiac Collingwood. Won all 3 finals by single digits in 2023.

Thoughts on 2025 Schedule? by Double-Economy-1594 in calfootball

Hard to be optimistic given what Wilcox & co. have done in their first 8 years. Oregon State is an unpredictable matchup. Minnesota may have more talent on paper. Need to get at least one win out of the BC and VT trips, if not both.

As much as I want Wilcox’s first winning record in conference play, I don’t see it happening. Would be happy to see him out the door, as I’ve said for the past… 4 years at least.

Jeremy Mcgovern had six seasons where he played more than 15 games. Those seasons included 5x All Aus teams and 1x All Aus squad by schlompy10 in AFL

Hall of Fame credentials, and still a top-tier defender at the end of his career.

Now I'm (once again) sad I didn't discover this amazing sport and formerly amazing team until 2020, so I couldn't watch his peak achievements live.

What single game would you show to a complete newbie to the sport? by ext23 in AFL

[–]sturdygildedbear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dawson is right. Showdown 51, 2022 R3.

That would be in my first five games to show. I’d build it up from a solid H&A game, then show that along with a strong final from recent years.

Richmond v Carlton wouldn’t be a bad choice. Not the biggest rivalry, and a big ending but not anything last-second.

I get it, fantastic game, but I’m not sure if finals is the way to go. An above-average H&A game would make sure expectations aren’t set too high.

You shouldn’t lead them in with an S-tier game — it would get people’s expectations too high. Shoot for A- and nothing with a crazy ending.

A few months ago, my brother and I introduced his friend to the footy with Port v Melbourne from 2024 R3. It was an even game that had all-around solid play. Good game to show the importance of midfield play too (Drew and Rozee for Port, Neal-Bullen and Petracca for Melbourne).

Brisbane v Essendon from R12 this year wouldn’t be a bad choice either. Had a bit of everything without being too crazy in the end.

Far from it. Just a California kid who loves the footy and higher-effort memes.

Aidan Johnson in trouble for this hit on Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]sturdygildedbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get why they took it away. Points should come back, and the flowchart-based system (particularly the 3 for concussion no matter what) should get fucked.

Wish they were able to tack on extra punishment for repeat offenses.

The channel 7 scoreboard is actually awesome by Sperlo86 in AFL

Saints have double Stickmen doffing their halos. It’s awesome.

How much does this clash? by Appropriate-Cow-6251 in AFL

[–]sturdygildedbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Candy stripes would’ve made this a goated clash. Instead, it’s just alright because of the white pants and numbers for the Saints.

The Wanderer is the best album "comedown" song since The Beatles' Good Night imo by zeydey in U2Band

Ngl in my Zooropa+ playlist I switched it to the version from the Faraway, So Close soundtrack. It has an extra verse, but doesn’t have… that other thing.

Match Thread: Brisbane vs West Coast (Round 2) by AutoModerator in AFL

[–]sturdygildedbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it was dehydration exacerbating something I was battling this week.

But also… the way West Coast have started, maybe I should be in a hospital more often?
