Greetings from Provo to Ames

C
I took this picture dropping off my son at his BYU dorm after an Easter call to my mom in Ames

Figured it meant I should send greetings to future conference mates and to show off on of the most picturesque towns for a football game.

There probably won’t be quite as much snow when the Cyclones come in November but looking forward to the game.

Recruits & Transfers

C
Starting a new thread for recruiting. There are not many top 2023 recruits remaining especially at weights of need which are 197, 133, & 141 (if swiderski bumps up). I would like to get Hagerty (197) or another top 50 197-pounder, Lemley/Wells or Porter (133/141), Adams (141/149) and definitely take Ruiz (157) if we are still in the mix for him. Not sure the mutual interest level on these guys but these would be my focus.

Not many elite transfers but here are a few we should be contacting. This is my order of interest.
1. Henson 133/141
2. Kennedy Monday 174
3. Matt Finesliver 174
4. Dom Demas 149
5. Stevo Poulin 125
6. Yaraslau Slavekowski 285

Not sure how many would be a significant improvement over what we have. Did I miss any?

Every Day Carry Knives

BWRhasnoAC
Just lost a griptylian that I had for a few years that fell out of my pocket somewhere in the last month replaced it with a bugout. Got the stainless steel 20cv blade with some cool limited edition scales. So far I love the size and weight. Considering upgrading the scales to titanium at some point as the only complaint I have with the current scales is the VERY slight flex. Overall I'm in love with it.

What are some knives everyone else really likes for everyday carry, work, survival, etc? I'm a knife nerd and love to talk about blacksmithing as well.

Premier League

Deanster
Barclays Premier League starts this weekend! Plenty of interesting story lines to start the season, especially with the transfers that were made.


What are your predictions on the year? Chelsea going to repeat? Sterling going to shine at Man City?Arsenal going to put a complete season together and hold the trophy?


Personally, I'm hoping for Liverpool to bounce back, and get into the top 4. It'll be very different without seeing Gerrard this year. They made plenty of offseason moves, so hopefully it works out better than last season :/

Alright bacon lovers...I need your tips

dahliaclone
What is your tried and true way to making truly CRISPY bacon that doesn't burn? And I know there are different definitions of 'crispy'...so to clarify. I mean literally BREAKS/SNAPS and there is a true crunch to it. Basically cooking it until it's bacos. There should be no tearing of it in terms of what I'm talking about crispiness.

Knowing that...does oven cooking do it? I have never tried but I doubt it gets as crispy as we're looking for. Cast iron is what we use but seems to burn pretty easily but maybe the heat is just too much (even though we only cook on medium).

Let me know your thoughts!

John Wick 4

Trice
Who saw it? What did you think? Hide your spoilers.

I'm no movie critic, but I thought it was great. I didn't get into John Wick until the late 2010s, around the time of the third movie, and I've loved them ever since. They're just great movies for turning off your brain and having a good time watching Keanu wreck people.

This was a long movie but didn't feel like it. And the action scenes in Paris were great.

What an amazing coincidence that Lance Reddick's character dies in this movie, and then he died in real life right before it premiers. Speaking of deaths, zero chance John Wick actually died in this movie, right?

What makes some people favor documentaries vs people who favor action movies?

TrailCy
I know some people who will watch documentaries multiple times a week. They want to learn things about new topics and seek new perspective. I also know people who love formulaic superhero movies and won't proactively watch a documentary because they want to escape real life.

What makes a person the former versus the latter? Is it the way they grow up or some chemical composition in their brain?

UNT's Grant McCasland named Texas Tech men's basketball coach

Grant McCasland will reportedly accept a six-year, $18 million deal to take over the position that was vacated by Mark Adams earlier this month.
www.dallasnews.com www.dallasnews.com

Just moments after leading North Texas to the NIT championship. They played a really slow, grind you out style this year, they may have been the slowest team in the entire country in terms of pace of play.
