Rocco was a little off today, but this ended up being a good team win with other guys making plays.

I was very pleased with the running game with Sanders and Norton - helped us move the sticks all day.

Chase hit his kicks.

Verdon had the big pick and was seemingly everywhere. Crucial after Tampa was ejected.

What say you?

Friday OT #2 - It’s Too Late, Baby

I was a hot mess this morning. I usually have to take my youngest to school, but they have the day off in Ames. As such, I was able to snooze my alarm, and I apparently turned it off in the process. I woke up about 20 minutes before I needed to be on work remotely.

Fortunately, I am pretty low maintenance. I could be laptop-camera ready in time, if not properly caffeinated. My hair is very curly, so it is more of a matter of beating it into submission than it is “doing” it. Not a big fan of most makeup, and I shower and lay out my clothes for the next day at night.

Are you high-maintenance or low-maintenance? How long does it take you to get ready in the morning - do you require a morning shower to wake up? Do you prep for the next day at night?

RIP Bull

Another 80s kid icon gone.

Preseason Hype Thread 23-24

We're just under 2 weeks away from the start of the season, lets get some serious hype going.

Ill offer up the 3 Man Weave Big 12 preview pod first. They assist with the CBB Almanac which picked us 7th, but their overall outlook on us was quite positive

Friday OT #1 - Jump the Shark

Thanks so much to @Farnsworth for this topic!

“At what point do you give up on a show you are interested in? Do you feel the need to hold out to see how it ends?”

I will let him give his example, but I tend to be sort of a completionist - with books, movie series, and TV shows. There was no reason to watch the last season of Scrubs, but I had committed to it.

How about you?
