The NCAA should check those Bama players for mental performance enhancers in addition to steroids. 500+ pages is crazy.

I'd rather have a football analyst who specializes in providing excellent X and O analysis than an English professor.

Probably hardcoded the unit of measure in SAP a while ago and cannot update it.

Yeah, the Buckeye faithfuls tune in at 9am for Noon kickoffs without issue. It's actually OK for the meh games. If anything, the West Coast helps the earlier OSU-UM kickoff time because of their games.

Mark Tremonti is the man.

Agreed, 9am kickoffs for a big game suck. Not the worst for a lesser game (I can get the rest of my day going by 1pm) but I like it when the big games have more of a prime time feel.

Oh I get it, this is a parade account. Good job, Brah

That's hilarious. I met a sultry looking red head on campus and we met up at the bar connected to Hound Dawgs (~2005). She said she was a DJ at one of the bigger strip clubs in Columbus, which seemed cool or something. After having about 4 more than one too many she decided she wanted to stop by her friend's house at 2am. Apparently her friend was an ex-girlfriend who was living with her current boyfriend. So I got to spend an amazingly awkward half hour in their kitchen semi hanging with the guy who clearly hated the crazy stripper ex-girlfriend of his girl (yeah, he told me she danced and was not a DJ). He was relatively calm for a guy who was just woken up by his girl's ex and was watching them hash something out in his kitchen early in the morning. Somehow it still worked out for this guy that night.

I've had a variety of dates in my time before Mrs NC but the one that sticks out was a "blind date" my freshman year at OSU where I responded to a post in this Onion type campus newspaper to go on a blind date. I was selected and the girl they chose was boring as hell and looked pretty meh. I don't know if having the 3 staffers that tagged along made the date better or worse. Not only did I not talk to her after the date, their "satirical account" of the date wasn't that funny and pretty mean (especially to her). Hey, at least I got a free dinner and bowling out of it (they paid).

My dude, I ripoed one in my office this week and literally seconds later my cute little direct report comes bounding in and wants to show me an update she just made. Holy hell you should've seen her face.

How the hell did it take this long for someone to mention FERPA? It's the same reason we never see files on student athletes.

You mean Tathyana

"a process that would often take up his entire Sunday mornings, even with his CFP-issued iPad through which he could watch commercial-free cutups of every game" Damn, where do I sign up for that?

In your opinion how does it compare to a real village in Germany?

Isn't that the place that uses Ragu and has obscene corking fees?

That's how I met Poppy, except in Davis, CA.

So odd walking around with $1000 worth of cash in your pocket.  Felt archaic and unsafe.  I still put that day's purchase on my Costco CC and deposited that stack into the ATM.

Also have a SW card as a 3rd option, though I don't use it.  It's a carryover from before Costco switched to Visa, will probably cancel it right before the next annual fee.

"Led Zeppelin" You mean Greta Van Fleet?

Have the Costco Anywhere Visa by Citi and the Marriott Visa by Chase. Both are solid and we got a big signup offer for the Marriott with 100k points. Costco has 4% on gas, 3% on travel and restaurants, 2% Costco and 1% everthing else. I really like the cash reward with the Costco card instead of having to apply it to a trip or other reward. Cash money in your pocket (literally, they give you a stack of cash). All this talk about the Chase Saphire has me interested though.

Too bad for ole Kliff that his leadership will be making that selection and not him.

Exactly, that part of the metric lost me. It should in my opinion weigh the 3rd year players the heaviest with the 2nd and 4th year players next. Freshman should be rated the least. There are a few outliers that start as freshman, but even they are not at their peak performance yet and it often indicates a serious gap in a lineup as much as it does a young player being ahead of the curve.

True, though they play 162! games and spring ball. That is still crazy to me (even as a guy who grew up playing and watching baseball). On the bright side you can spit sunflower seeds all over the place while at work. That's a big perk.

Indentations are our friends. Edit: Ironically this was a reply to Meek, but because of the maximum number of indented levels it looks like I was replying directly to Navy. ;-{)}

Or the Falcons. Every league needs a team named the Falcons.

Ole boy has newly 5" and 80# on his DT counterpart. That's crazy.
