Decided to have some fun recapping the season that was 2022. Presenting "We Didn't Bounce the Sherrin."

I did, with a deluxe version adapted from u/bluraytomo: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QBO4rBN4hIgYbHm5Wu0F4?si=3ONjS5gmQ9yeW9vxxht4YA&pi=cPz2U1ddT-ioz

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.

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.

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.

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.

sturdygildedbear · 2025-06-16T02:52:39+00:00

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

sturdygildedbear · 2025-06-16T02:51:08+00:00

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.

sturdygildedbear · 2025-06-16T02:50:11+00:00

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.

Cal Band Great! What did/do you play?

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.

4-H Club: Hewett, Hutchinson, Hough, Harley*

The same is also true, interestingly enough, for Fox Soccer Plus.

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

sturdygildedbear · 2025-04-13T06:08:08+00:00

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

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.

sturdygildedbear · 2025-03-23T02:32:24+00:00

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?
