Wish we'd do more with less than 2 outs.  

Double play, but another run.  5-4.

TIE GAME!!

3-4!  0 outs!

Altavilla HR!!

Whoa.  Henwood smacked in the mouth.  They showed his tooth fall out.  

Most concussions aren't lingering issues, but teams definitely err on the side of caution now.

The ones I work with haven't said anything about the upcoming season except that they hope we kick CU's a$$  

 

Sounds like POB is competing for the starting QB job though. Maybe he can make a difference but from what I saw last year they have issues all over the place. 

They lost a lot on offense I guess.  Rumors here are that POB isn't picking up the playbook, so it'll be Hill's job.  Would like to see POB help them out as well.  Another reason to root for them.

Maybe Colorado State will beat them in the first game and they'll all jump ship on the season 

The CSU fans I've talked to are not optimistic.  They're expecting to be even worse this year than they were last year.  And they were 3-9 last year.  I'll be rooting for them though.  

I wouldn't stop being a fan either.  You can't just turn that off.  But if my school knowingly turned their backs on these types of atrocious things, I'd be conflicted about showing my "pride".  I would still wear red to support the current players and staff, but wouldn't flaunt it as much.  

Is it true that CU fans have to buy allotments of 3 games just to attend the Husker game?

Ha, somebody actually listed a movie I've never even heard of in their top 5.  Any guesses...?

I had never heard of CHUD before.  

Memphis Belle

That promo code isn't working anymore.

I'm canceling it tonight.

 

This was their big chance to prove to me that I should buy their service. They completely blew it. I have waaaaay too much stuff to watch on Netflix & Amazon already, but if they'd have blown me away with this series I might have stayed. No chance now. And I'm not sticking around for the spinoffs.

Yep, exactly.  

Like everyone else, I thought the ending was rushed, which is perplexing to me.  The only reason I have HBO is because of GoT.  How many people are going to cancel their subscriptions?  HBO did a heckuva lot of advertising at the beginning of this finale, but with the disappointment fans have over the finish to their most popular show, how much confidence do we have that other shows will be worth it?  Seems to me HBO left a lot of money on the table by hurrying to the finish of GoT.  And I think they're going to lose a lot more because of it.

Projectors are for little to no light lit rooms. They do have some projectors that can handle a lot of light but are pretty expensive. 

 

My wife and I thought about upgrading to a 120” 4K projector within the near future but with the way flat panel TVs are increasing in size and becoming more affordable where you won’t need to buy a projector. 

 

Google Samsung “The Wall”. Now that is the future

Holy crap!  Back the couch up!  

Is the quality that good with a projector?  My main TV is 60" and is plenty for me.  

Has a nose for the sticks for sure.  Made some well defended catches too.  Something about Poly guys.  Can't have too many methinks.  Thank you Coach Tiuoti!

If you google "Ted Watts lithograph" this page is within the top dozen or so hits.

 

I think it's super weird that the guy posted his name and personal phone number on a public message board.

They both did.

I see a few go-routes in Woodyard's future.

I'm always so impressed with people who can grow up in situations like this and can move past it and have a happy and productive life.  I'm even more impressed when a man can have a Dad that isn't a part of his life, but turns around and is a good father to their children.  So often it doesn't happen that way.  It's a true testament to how the adults who raised you did a good job.

Amen to that.  I have such a HUGE respect for the man who raised us as his own, and think that helped guide me as a father.  My brother was easy, but I was a pain in the a$$ to raise, but he did it the best he could.  My mother never worked, just volunteered.  Raised us on a farm, taught us how to work, be respectful, responsible, etc.  I took a weird path to get to where I'm at, but eventually got here, successful, happy, etc.  He's such a humble guy about it too.  When I've told him how much I respect him for raising us as his own, he just shrugs and says, well, I got your mother out of the deal.  Now he's got four grandchildren that adore him.

Man that is so interesting!  Do you "know" his side of the story or not really?  Did he live near you all those years?

 

I have heard so many stories about men leaving (or sometimes a mom leaving) and basically just moving like 20 miles away because back in the day that was "far" and starting a new life.

 

Probably stupid questions but it just interests me.

I only know very vague things that relatives shared with us.  He was in the Air Force, briefly.  They gave him a menial job, but having a pretty complex, intelligent mind, he went nuts and was discharged.  He was very gifted musically, and toured with bands like Aerosmith back in the 70s.  He eventually decided to become a Christian and get off the road and settle down.  He got married, had us, then decided he liked the rock star lifestyle a little too much to let it go, so he went back to that, and all that entailed.  So he wasn't really in one place for very long.  I think that's why it was so hard to get him to pay any child support.  Then when my mom remarried, her husband told him he'd have his back payments forgiven, if he'd allow him to adopt us.  I think that was an easy decision for him.  He eventually settled in Tennessee, near Nashville, where he still plays in bands.  He did settle down though.  Has a family now, but the kids aren't his.  

Not stupid questions at all.  I'm fascinated by family dynamics as well.  I never thought mine was unique till I started sharing it.  

I think if I did have a regret, it's that I wasn't raised by a musician like him.  I'm a terrible guitarist, so that would've been nice.
