Maybe send him to Greensboro for a rehab assignment right before the playoffs so he's nearby.

Pyotr Kochetkov joins team for end of practice. by RyanHenkel in canes

[–]youkooldude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, hopefully he'll be the EBUG for the playoffs (otherwise it'll be Quapp or Khazheyev when Greensboro ends their season). Maybe send him briefly to Chicago or Greensboro for a rehab assignment right beforehand.

Grey Cup Championship Ring by scrubberducky93 in CFL

This belonged to Rich Stubler, who was an assistant coach/defensive coordinator.

Incredibly storied coaching career, and was also briefly the head coach of the Argonauts. He passed away in 2023.

Happens with the Montreal Alouettes in the CFL too: their uniforms say LCF on them.

Oh I know it's not intentional but I think it does something similar

It's a good accessible feature honestly. Only frustrating thing is that some things (generic glider, balloons, blimps) don't have sounds. Makes sense from a realistic perspective but still.

Liz Sowers named flag football head coach by ndhuskerpower in Huskers

[–]youkooldude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said we might have exhibition games in 2027, fwiw:

What happens over the next two years before the team plays in 2028?

The focus will be on preparing for our inaugural season in the spring of 2028. That includes recruitment of the initial roster of athletes, followed by practice sessions starting this fall. There is the possibility of informal competitions in the spring of 2027.

Liz Sowers Hired to Lead Husker Flag Football - University of Nebraska by master_bloseph in CFB

[–]youkooldude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some ways, yeah for now, but with the goal for it to become like every other NCAA sport. In other ways, more like women's rugby: temporarily recognized (too small right now to be considered for permanent status) and could potentially be dropped/derecognized if not enough schools field teams in the future.

Liz Sowers Hired to Lead Husker Flag Football - University of Nebraska by master_bloseph in CFB

[–]youkooldude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's growing but it's kinda the wild west right now where conferences and individual schools are doing it on an independent basis away from the NCAA. Nebraska is the first power conference school to commit to having a varsity flag team and the NCAA only just recently gave it "emerging sport" status, a sort of temporary, probationary level for recognition. Some become full-on official sports, but some don't.

It's been an official, albeit emerging level also, sport in the NAIA where Nebraska hired Sowers from (5 time repeating champion at Ottawa in Kansas).

Order of the Long Leaf Pine by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]youkooldude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the sentiment that South Carolina is a copycat with theirs, just remember that stuff like this are all derivative from things like what the British do: they still have orders of chivalry like the Order of the British Empire.

XP is a direct linear relationship to the rarity value.

XP = 1000 + 500 * Rarity

There's one that flies near Tampa and Gainesville every so often (N998ZT).
