      what? a coach who will win 8 or 9 games a year and lose to an FCS team?

      He's actually beaten some ranked teams, many actually, and with Oregon State resources. Howabout we give him a chance?

      My high school position coach would've been an improvement over Pelini. I'll give this guy some time.

  2. At what point in time did Oregon State become a more desirable destination than Wisconsin? What the hell is happening?

      Does this up Riley's stock. Make him a better hire? Kind of joking, kind of not.

  3. How can Michigan have only 12 commits? That seems incredibly low.

      Not sure, maybe Hoke was doing a bad job combined with the lack of time to retain and recruit new guys?

  5. I strongly recommend seeing The Revenant. It is by far the best movie of 2015 and if Leo doesn't win Best Actor this time, he should just stop attending the Oscars.

  6. For anyone that has Comcast, have you been getting the on-screen messages to upgrade your digital cable box by a certain date? And if you didn't did anything happen, i.e., lose channels?

      suh_fan93

      I have Comcast. The only thing I can think of is that if your boxes are in fact old maybe they're no longer capable of properly receiving updates or something? I know that did happen with their 2.0 modems. They made me swap mine out but this was a few years ago. I am not sure if this is what is happening to you though so I'm just guessing.

    3. Street Novelist

      Street Novelist

      suh_fan93, I am talking about the tv set top boxes, not the Internet modems. Mine is only a few years old. I have been getting messages everyday saying if I don't turn mine in for a new one, I am going to lose channels. I was wondering if anyone received the same messages, but decided not to do anything.

    4. suh_fan93

      suh_fan93

      Unfortunately you might need to call call customer service. Could just be a defective box or a bad/weak/too strong of a signal into it.

      I don't know if her story is true or not. It makes me wonder - why would the kind of person who would kidnap a good-looking woman like that, commit "assault" against her, totally has her in their power... why would that person let her go?

      She was kidnapped by two Latina women. Or so her story is.

      Yeah man use your phone on WiFi and get a Bluetooth speaker. Works excellent

      I have a limited data plan on my smartphone; that's why. I need a radio that I can play for hours on end.

    4. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      Oh, if that's the case and they make radios that can pick up digital streams data-free you could go that route.

       

      Unless you're just needing this around the house. Then you could just disconnect your phone from data and stream via WiFi or pick them up on a computer instead. Either would be able to connect to a speaker.

      I have 10 chickens, make that 9, the doberman got 1 this morning.  I have been giving eggs to the neighbors because we have so many currently.  The neighbor behind us has like 40 and gives us eggs to give away as well.  I have told him we are good and so are the other neighbors.

      ESPN3 now, but I think you should be able to, if you get espn3. It's good because actually if you do get TV coverage, you don't get ESPN3 sometimes.

  13. Sharks choked again. You could see it coming. In Game 4's post-game press conference, McLellan was asked whether the team had what it took to come back. Instead of defending his players like he normally does, he replied, "We'll see."

      Sounds like I should've watched the rest of that game. It was still 2-1 Sharks when I turned it off.

      I'm not terribly disappointed because after all, the Canucks are the best team around. I'm pissed because they blew so many opportunities.

      We are not supposed to look like this. Right now, I do not have all the information, but I would say blame Invision Power Board. Man, what a mess!

      It really isn't his fault. Bo just wanted us to move in a different direction with the board, but the skin was too raw and not ready. Also, it has bad mechanics.

  17. Is there really that much of a difference between a pair of $20 binoculars and ones that cost over $100?

      LOLLLLLLL!!!!! wasn't expecting that response...I take it the $100 pair can see through wood and brick! LMAO

    3. NUance

      NUance

      No more than the difference between a 12-pack of beer costing $8 and one for $15. Both will get the job done.

    4. whateveritis1224

      whateveritis1224

      It all comes down to the lenses and what the lenses are coated with. The $100 pair will have more layers of that coating. More coating means that less light will get reflected off the objective lens which means you'll get a clearer image. You now owe me $5

      He was one of the first trash talkers. I remember just loving to hate him, much like Barry Switzer but, secretly having respect for him because he brought it and it wasn't all just talk.

    3. knapplc

      I didn't watch it. Why did you feel sorry for him?

       

      He was a guy I loved to hate. Bigger than life, fun, the Bad Guy, but someone even as a kid that I respected.

    4. ZRod

      ZRod

      @knap probably because that's not who he wanted to be. He lost himself in the boz and burned bridges for it. And it talked about how he could never please his father.
