  1. Up for a little light reading?  Here's Mario's thesis on the biomechanics of QB's - http://scholarworks.sjsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1268&context=etd_theses

      I love Mario.

      He is definitely one of a kind.  Hope he can keep his wizardry streak going here.

      273 pages.  Wow!  And look at the top two citations at page 41:  "T. Osborne".  :thumbs

  2. Used CBD oil to calm the dog down during a T-storm.  What a difference!  Wish I knew about it sooner.

      Not sure if I've shared this before or not, but I've purchased the Sunday Scaries brand of CBD gummies for humans. They also make Fomo Bones, CBD dog treats: https://www.fomobones.com/ 

       

      Probably going to try some version of CBD on our dog next time he goes to the vet. Last time we had to give him 3 oral sedatives before we went and he still wouldn't let them touch him. Had to trick him into getting a shot to put him under so they could draw blood and give him his other shots. Yeesh

      Should have had a crop duster spray the stuff over Memorial Stadium during the Riley era

  3. Watching old kick off classic games.  Those were the days.

      Now you’re making me want to hook up a VCR and drag out all my old VHS tapes of the 90’s games.

      I miss those. + any Thursday games as a kid were exciting for some reason.

      Couldn’t care less about what they are wearing.  The game itself is beyond atrocious.

      Fugly is the nicest adjective for it.

      Quite possibly the Tim Miles Swan Song.

  5. What kind of projecting power would it take to do something like this video (Phila Flyers), on to a football field?

      Maybe we could get that fiber optic turf and really dazzle ‘em.

      I believe these are laser projectors and the cheapest is about 25k.  Betting something for a football field is probably in the 500k to 1 mil and would probably need about 10 of them.  I have a buddy who does it for the Golden Knights and they spent in the 15 mil range.  The software and hardware to run it in sync costs a pretty penny in itself.

  6. What started as an urge to buy new furniture has turned into a complete renovation with all new paint, flooring and appliances (and can’t forget the new sliding glass doors).  $$$

      Haha! What started out as "I think I can sand these deck boards flat again" has turned into completely replacing the decking and railing.

      Lil' Red. Gritty's Twitter presence is already light years ahead of what we could even conceive for Lil' Red.

      The video wouldn’t change my mind, Lil red.

  8. When prepping a house for later sale, would one touch up paint that already exists, or repaint everything white and let new home owner pick what to change to?

      A real ear of corn, and the guy who got the turnover has to eat it. Floss and toothpicks on standby.

      What about a turnover combine? Whoever gets the turnover gets to drive the combine up and down the field on east stadium.

      We canceled day of due to weather, like Wisconsin had to last year.

       

      This year they’re just not having one. Nobody really attended, anyhow.

      I was at the 2012 Spring Game.

       

      I was also at the 2018 Akron game. 

       

      They both sucked.

  12. Wonder who rated Frost so low on all coaching categories.  https://www.insidetheteam.com/scott-frost. Expected a little higher.

      Maybe the poll included current Oregon State players?

      The highest rated of these 5 guys would have been our 24th best recruit last year. If we had brought all of them in, I assume there would have been some “diamond in the rough” comments, but I would think there would have been just as many “we need to do better” comments.

    3. teachercd

      teachercd

      I think that Minny is recruiting right about one notch above where they had in the past.  Basically they will take big classes with all 3 star guys.

      Paid her a little tribute on SNL’s weekend update. She must have bowels of steel. 

  16. Glad I'm not a Thug U fan - the phrase "turnover chain" got on my nerves 5 minutes into the game.  If it was a drinking game, I'd have been plastered half way through the first quarter.

      probably used to about the blackshirts. Now they just laugh about it.

    4. Shooter

      Shooter

      The Blackshirt is owned by hard work over time and represents the recognition of that effort.  The Turnover Chain is a reward for dumb luck.  It's like a jackass wearing a tiara and screaming "Look at me, I'm a princess!"  I applaud Frost's comments that it isn't what we wish to focus on here.

      Yeah, my typical day is about 7-5:30. The only times I have left before 4:30 has been for the kids sports events or I like to schedule doctor/dentist appts for about 4:00. But if it's a particularly rough morning I may snooze it for an extra hour. I  probably wouldn't make it at a job if I had to be there right on time. Gotten spoiled setting my own hours.

    3. ZRod

      ZRod

      They say we're supposed to be available by 8:30, but my boss is extremely chill and doesn't care when we come in and when we leave as long as we get our job done and don't owe anything.

      @teachercd - my first plan of attack is actually applying (in a round about way) to the place i was before i took this 7th circle of hell position, so they MIGHT pick up on the fact that I wasn't there for the past 2.5 years.  (Or they might not??). :lol: 

       

      Whatever it is will be temporary only till we move back to the Midwest in late summer/early fall.  Just need it to pay the bills until then.

      well, heck... not the one I was thinking of, but that's ok, tyvm anyway - I can compile what I'm looking for, just wanted easy access to it. (lazy)
