  1. Past hour
  2. Apparently Reed wasn't actually the one filming it. But he also probably knows what he's looking at.
  3. So how can Israel be supporting international aid efforts and thwarting them at the same time? It's not that hard when you think about it.
  4. My brain is telling me to hurry up and bet UTEP -28 in the first game of a freshman's career.
  5. Not the physical pier itself, but the operation and some of the funding https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3786751/more-than-1-million-pounds-of-aid-moved-into-gaza-via-dods-temporary-pier/#:~:text=The U.S. is also working,into Gaza from the sea. The U.S. is also working closely with Cyprus, the government of Israel, the U.N. and international donors including the United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and European Union as part of the multi-step process to move aid into Gaza from the sea. International donors first ship aid into Cyprus where it is screened and packaged before being loaded onto ships to be transported to the temporary pier. "This is a complex humanitarian aid mission that requires continuous coordination between many partners," said Dan Dieckhaus, the director of USAID's response operations. "The support and contributions of the U.N., the government of Cyprus and other international partners, including the U.K., European Union, United Arab Emirates, France, Romania and others is vital, as is the cooperation of Israel."
  6. last place trophy? do you a link to that?
  7. Today
  8. Bit of a leap from "expresses its official condolences" to "thoughts and prayers" wouldn't you say? Read the whole thing again and tell me what message Iran should take from it.
  9. and some people just love to give last place a trophy and call it a good thing..
  10. It would be great. The problem is that the terrorist infrastructure is stealing the aid, and the host country is actively opposing the support and occasionally killing aid workers. Multiple countries are involved in the effort, which you may have noticed is taking place in pure chaos. If you or Bonchie have a plan for guaranteeing aid to to the people who need it, we're all ears. But we both know this about blaming Biden in the most hyperbolic terms possible.
  11. Sad about Bill Walton, but he had been suffering for quite a while. He was such a character and a genuinely good person. My favorite moment of him broadcasting (and what has become my horrible Bill Walton impression) was during an ASU / UofA game involving his son. Luke made a bad turnover, and it was great hearing his dad say "Terrible pass by Walton!". Dude was a classic, RIP.
  12. It really is quite the mystery. Worst umpire in my baseball lifetime and it’s not even remotely close
  13. Know your foes! My quick .02 from the perspective of someone that has seen Florida and Oklahoma State 10+ times this year. As others have mentioned, this is a tough, tough regional. I think we can expect some really high scoring games at times because the ball really flies at Okie State's stadium usually (check out some of their previous regional scores...it's nuts!). To me there are basically two versions of this Florida team and who they decide to pitch will really influence my thoughts. If Florida throws Jac Caglianone in game one and his stuff is on, Nebraska is in for a tough, tough battle. Caglianone has electric stuff but thankfully (for Nebraska) he has a tendency to walk a lot of guys and his pitch count can get up there in a hurry. Nebraska will have to patient against him if he goes. If Florida throws one of their other guys in Petersen or Coppola then I like Nebraska's chances with Sears throwing in game one. From a hitting standpoint, UF has been pretty banged up by they have a true difference maker in Caglianone who will probably be the best hitter Nebraska sees all year. Cags is hitting .415 and has 29 HR and is a sure fire 1st round pick. I don't expect much from Niagara so we can skip them. Okie State is unfortunately going to be a really tough out in their home park. Unlike past teams that would just try and gorilla ball you to death, this team can actually pitch. They've got a pair of starters in Garcia and Holiday that are able to go super deep in games and an emerging really good 3rd pitcher in Benge who is a two way stud for them. Their bullpen is solid with good arms but doesn't have what I'd consider a true elite closer. From a hitting standpoint they've got 5 guys with double digit homers and an emerging stud in Nolan Schubart who is a really tough out at the plate. There are certainly paths here for Nebraska to win this regional if NU is able to get pitching performances like they did in every game sans the first Ohio State game. The shaky bullpen worries me (like all of us) but I'm hopeful that NU found something in Caleb Clark and he can match up with Worthley and give NU a nice 1-2 at the back end. The big thing to remember is Nebraska is going to give up some HRs and if the wind is blowing out, O'Brate turns into a certifiable launching pad so we might see some good pitches turn into HRs just because of the way the park is structured. All in all, this is a really fun regional and there should be lots of competitive games.
  14. Boys are stoked !! light practice today. Then most have to move out of their houses since June 1 will be while they are gone.
  15. if SAC can get me on a flight to DC i can bring along my cordless drill and I will hang that plaque for free.
  16. Teachers...does this sound familiar? Thread
  17. I agree. I think a project at QB is a bigger deal. Skill positions if you have the talent with the right coaches it could click fast. Who knows what kind of coaching he is getting in high school
  18. Yep, I'm up 8.8% since then. Thanks. Also, There's a new thread for stock discussions so this can be kept for actual discussions about the ecomony.
  19. Hope you all made the CAVA bet when I told you to.
