What would cause TJ to move?

Argh! Michigan speculation here. Another reason to hate the B1G and SEC. They probably think they can just snap their fingers and get whatever coach they want. And they will have the money to back it up for many.

Juwan Howard – Michigan

Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports
Season Record: 7-11
Overall Record: 86-59
The Juwan Howard era at Michigan has plummeted downhill since the team’s 23-5 season in 2020-21, and with multiple controversies surrounding the program and their head coach, it might already be time to pull the plug and start looking elsewhere for a new head man.
Administration needs to focus on landing an experienced coach and a strong recruiter, and if they can convince T.J. Otzelberger to leave Iowa State and the Big 12 they will be in a great position to return to prominence quickly.
Otzelberger has deep connections in the Midwest, has a strong reputation as a lead recruiter, and is a winning coach from his time at UNLV and now with the Cyclones in the loaded Big 12.
Replacement: T.J. Otzelberger (Iowa State)

Six-Pack Abs Six Times Worse For Heart?

See, clearly us with keg-shaped abs were simply smarter. Add in the fact that it will take my body 20x longer to decompose if I'm ever murdered and hidden and it's been obvious we were always planning ahead.

Wendy's planning surge pricing on burgers

Just who the hell is going to drive there to find out if they're going to have a decent price that day? Not me. Seems like self immolation.


"Wendy's is planning to charge different prices depending on the time of day - which means a Dave's Single could cost more at lunchtime than mid-afternoon. So-called dynamic pricing would boost traffic when restaurants are quiet and cool demand when they're busy. Such a system might mean that at busy times like breakfast, lunch and dinner, prices it advertises on a digital menu will be higher and at quieter times they will fall."

Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

Hello all,

I have been following the site for a few years and decided to make an account to pick your brains. I have seen a bunch of posters call others out for not putting threads in the correct forum, so I put this in off-topic.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what kind of smoker to get for a first time user? I love the taste of smoked meat and wanted to purchase one and give it a shot. From what I have seen online a good one for a beginner is a Weber Smokey Mountain 18'. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks

Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

It was the year of fire, the year of destruction, the year we took back what was ours. It was the year of rebirth, the year of great sadness, the year of pain, and the year of joy. It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the year everything changed. The year is 2024; the place: RTT 18!!!

It appears to be a personal Year of Fire ahead in 2024. May joy predominate in yours!

Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

Hadn't seen this posted anywhere yet, but it's a pretty big deal.

Effectively the ruling prevents the NCAA from banning third parties from paying athletes to attend a particular school.

It's a temporary injunction, but the judge was pretty clear in saying that the NCAA's policy most likely violates antitrust laws.

"While maintaining competitive balance in college sports is “a legitimate and important endeavor,” spreading competition evenly across the member institutions by restraining trade is precisely the type of anticompetitive conduct the Sherman Act seeks to prevent."

NSCR: NASCAR 2024 thread

Daytona week is here! Qualifying takes place Feb 14 for the front row and Thursday Feb 15 will be the twin 125s to determine the rest of the starting order.
I always look forward to watching the Daytona 500. While you can have some long stretches of single file racing you also get some of the craziest moves when cars start shuffling around trying to get their nose out into clean air for that final run to the checkered flag.

Cytown Update

Did anyone hear Jamie Pollard on last night's Coaches Corner radio show? I missed some details as was doing something else but thought I heard the university had secured a large donation that might speed the development of the area over what was originally projected. I did hear Pollard and others had met with hotel chains to discuss possibilities of new construction in the north part of the area.
