  1. Any dirt bike riders on here?  My son wants one and he found one he likes but it has an auto transmission on it.  I grew up on dirt bikes but know nothing about these new auto transmissions on them.  Are they good? Bad?

     

    Thanks

      I have a friend that got his kid a Honda 110 that is a 3 speed, no clutch.  He still shifts but it is a "power shift".  They are going to upgrade to a 125 with clutch and all.

       

      I had a yz250 growing up and learned to shift after I got decent at riding.  I kinda want my kid to be the same but its his choice I guess as he is buying it.

      I think it's an excellent way to get people riding, not as easy as the true auto Honda's but more low end for sure. The only issue I could see is out growing it quickly and being ready to move on to a clutched bike .

      That is what they are going through.  The bike is only a year old and he got to advanced for it.  

       

      Thanks for the input.  I appreciate it

      Congrats to Ben.  I always thought he was the best player of the Cotton brothers.  College coaches can make a ton of $ and it can be fun coaching a game, but the long hours and nomadic lifestyle has to be hard on their families.

      I prefer bars of soap, seems like they last a lot longer, scent is stronger, and is cheaper

      I'm not sure the brand but I have a cedarwood scented bar of soap that does not seem to be getting an smaller and I've been using it for about a month and a half.  Smells great.

      It would be fun to see some NU/Okla games on BTN instead of the same 3 or 4 they show now. Could possibly lead to OU doing some more investigating into the BIG. I guess we'll see.

      I wonder if these networks could actually own their own conferences.  In a way I guess they do

    4. BOJ

      BOJ

      ^Its actually the other way around (at least in the B1G). The conference schools own the network. Although Fox now owns 51% of the network, it started as wholly owned by the schools. So Nebraska currently owns some portion of that 49% of the network.

      At the time, maybe not Martinez, but probably better than Gebbia.

      You could argue that Martinez was better than Burrows last year (obviously that's changed significantly this year).

      It is amazing what solid coaching and play calling can do for a player.

       

      Also, I don't remember him really being open to transferring to Nebraska. I think Frost had a quote about it as well...something along the lines, "You think he is better than what we got?". I do know that Cincinnati was in play. 

       

      If Burrow doesn't get hurt at OSU and goes in the Michigan game instead of Haskins his sophomore year, I think Burrow would still be OSU's QB.  What a crazy sequence of events that has lead us to this point. 

  8. Cedric Benson, ex Longhorns RB was killed this AM in a motorcycle accident.  Hate Texas but this is horrible to hear.  RIP

      My brother and I both made an audible, "Holy $%$#" when we saw the news yesterday.  Terrible news.  Prayers to all that were affected by the tragedy.

  9. Cheers HB...Awesome rivalry weekend.

  10. Did Romo spill the beans on something?  Have seen numerous things about Romo scripting the plays before they happened.

      He just knows what they are going to run by using motion, reading the defense, and audibling. The guy did it for years, its not a big secret if you know football and study tape. What blows me away is how KC couldnt figure it out.

    3. The Dude

      It seems like he's actually toned down calling out the plays pre-snap this season.

      New Glarus has a few other worthwhile brews in addition to Spotted Cow. I'd be surprised if they haven't migrated into Minnesota.

       

      But guise.....he wants "good" beer like Busch and Miller :lol:

      They’re the number 1 team I want to see lose. Their fans, or lack thereof, are so trendy and least represented during the CWS. They’re so bad, I actually rooted for Texas over them

  14. Georgia came to play.  This might throw a wrench in the playoffs.

      What about them? Sorry the other 4 power 5 didn't get the SEC bias of having both division winners ranked inside the top 5.

      Georgia played Bama tougher than any other team. I’m happy they won’t both be in the playoffs, but Georgia doesn’t seem overrated. 

  15. Got a walk-on commit from Cade McCormack this morning.

     

    This is a really good pickup for us.

      Im not an emotional person at all.  In the 20 years my wife and I have been together, I have shed a tear three times.  Once at my moms funeral, at Grandpa's funeral and yesterday. I didnt think I would get emotional but once he gave me a hug during the flower ceremony, it hit me.

  21. Im watching a California HS game and Centennial ran a zone read.  The RB got lit up right off the bat but the QB kept the ball and scored a 60+ yard TD but the refs blew the play dead as soon as the RB got tackled.

      @Stumpy1 In college, any part of the body for either wrestler is in-bounds. For HS, it has to be body parts that are carrying one of the wrestlers body weight.

       

      What you described would be in-bounds for college but out for HS.

    3. Stumpy1

      Stumpy1

      Its that way in HS also.  You can score a takedown and backpoints if the opponent is OB but you still have 2 anchor points in bounds.  The rules changed last year.  

       

       

    4. Thanks_Tom RR

      Right now. I will have to read through the new rules.

      Hate to say it but if they ever get a decent QB,  they could be very dangerous.

      They wont.  Other than Wilson, QB's go there to die.
