    I can't understand all the constant transfer and quit talk for so many non-starters who aren't crowned THE starter.   Why would Gebbia up and leave as a freshman when he's practically co-number one.   There is no "OR' which is abit odd I guess unless the coaches were not truth telling in all the suspense leading up to the depth chart release.  However, even a sprained ankle puts Gebbia on the field.   It is a rare season that we don't need atleast 2 and sometimes 3 QBs.  

    He won't leave. He will see the field this year. But if Martinez balls out this year I could see him moving on in the off season, which would be unfortunate. 

     

    With that said, I don't think the race is fully over. Going to be a fun season

    Lol extreme. Most streaming services are actually probably only $20/month cheaper than the basic cable package that comes with BTN

    Oh you were being serious... I left the original comment alone because I figured it was obvious sarcasm... :dunno

    Youtube TV doesn't have Discovery, TNT, A&E etc, etc, etc. They mostly have channels associated with ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox.

    YouTube TV has all of the Turner networks. Best decision I ever made switching. I miss having travel channel and food network, but otherwise I have yet to find a sporting event that I can't watch. All of the ESPN networks, SEC, BTN, FS1 & 2, Fox southwest, NBCSN, Golf Channel, MLB, NBAtv, CBS sports, etc. I think I even get the tennis channel.

    This is just horrifying. One report said there were 50+ shots, so I'm assuming assault weapon?

     

    I hope this brings the gun control issue to the forefront of peoples minds in the GOP. These shootings must stop.

    Can you describe for me what you consider an "assault" weapon. If youre going off of shots fired, any semi automatic weapon is to be considered "assault".
    Admittedly I'm totally not savvy with guns. All I meant was that it was a machine that supposedly fired many shots at a time. Apologies if I used the wrong terminology. Can you clarify the differences?
    Like I said above, it's a catch all term, usually proliferated in gun control groups, to make guns sound scarier. And it's not based on any specific characteristics.

     

    The short answer, is that an "assault weapon" isn't really a thing. Usually, it's just used by non-shooters to refer to semi-auto rifles that are black and scary looking, but functionally, they're no different than ranch rifles that people have used for 70+ years.

    With out getting to far into the weeds, below is a very generic example. The two weapons you see below shoot the same ammo and are both capable of firing 25 rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger, but would you ever classify the first weapon as an "assault" weapon? The black one just looks scarier and is what people associate with militaristic styling and therefore associate it with killing.https://www.google.com/search?q=ruger+10/22&client=ms-android-verizon&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjc-fXAw73UAhVLOiYKHTv9BHIQ_AUICigC&biw=360&bih=560#imgrc=tjQp8DEluIcXZM:https://www.google.com/search?q=smith+and+wesson+m%26p+15-22&client=ms-android-verizon&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjw4LHyw73UAhVE4yYKHVfjAIMQ_AUICigC&biw=360&bih=560#imgrc=k6HSEL1dIFfduM:

    Bingo.
    while I agree the black one isn't an assault rifle assuming it's a semi auto, I don't agree that you could fire off 25 shots in the same amount of time with those 2 guns. The one without a magazine would take much longer due to reloading.

    The ruger is also magazine driven, it's just not shown in that first picture I don't believe. Search ruger 10/22 25 round magazine and you will see they are the same.

    Should be going to prom, instead will be in our s&c program. I think he'll get to a more acceptable weight sooner rather than later.

    Exaclty. I went into college at 152 and within a year was up to 180. Just bumped up my calories and hit the main lifts. I didn't even have access to half the sh#t this kid does.

    Naturally strong family

  8. I have a Heckler&Koch VP9 that I bought a year or two ago. Relatively light with a nice trigger and has a green luminescent sight that is a nice little addition. Little nicer than your standard Glock and won't break the bank. I would highly recommend.

    That's a sharp looking weapon. Never shot H&K, but I've heard they make good stuff.
