The Re-al Mitchell thread. Did you check out the uniform thread where that one guy seemingly posts the same 5 uniform combos over and over explaining all the subtle changes and highlights?
BC congrats on the three win day. Hope you took them out for ice cream.
Thanks, getting done around 10 doesn't allow that. Son didn't get home until after midnight. They nearly peed away the game so the coach felt he needed to ream them some. Now 3-16 as a team, think he'd just say great getting a win guys and leave it alone.
Don't look at it as a fail. You can still eat ice cream, just make sure you can stop yourself. Ice cream is not my vice, so I do get out a 1/2c and eat a serving instead of just filling a bowl. I just read something today about the three foods to avoid--1. Food that grosses you out (don't eat anything you don't like) 2. Food that you are allergic to (duh, and for some that is none) and 3. Trigger foods that make you binge. Everything else is okay in moderation. I mean for your short term experiment it is fine to cut out all sweets, but that doesn't mean you will never eat candy again.
Yesterday was kinda a "binge" day for me. I treated the oldest to Tropical Smoothie for throwing a Dr appointment at her last minute (her school physical was expired, had to update it to play in our last 3 games). I also had a BOGO free coupon. My favorite smoothie is a 660cal sugar bomb. Then hubby was gone so picked up a Papa Murphy's pizza. The older girls and I watched some tv shows before bed so we made egg-less cookie dough to eat while we watched. The only balance I had was cotton candy grapes for supper. We will be on vacation starting a Saturday, so that will be more eating.
Usually I get up at 6am for a walk then do other exercise. This morning it was raining so no walk, and didn't have it in me to actually work out at 6:30. Hoping to get it in later.
I had to tell the coaches that daughter would miss any practices next week because we will be gone. Their first/only playoff game is 7/5. We will have to book it back from Omaha that morning to be back for the bus for the game. Coaches thought she would miss the play off game and about had heart attacks on the spot. As if we weren't limping enough, our 3B is going on a tip this week with friends so will miss our last 2 games and 1B can no longer play defense due to hip issues. So we will field a team with 4 8th graders, 1 freshman, and 4 sophomores. Daughter had been pulled out of the hitting line-up the past week for very uncharacteristic batting. She is chomping at the bit to hit again, we'll see what happens this week.
I suggested a bib overall themed uniform complete with a PC paint mock up. For some reason they didn't take me serious. Then I suggested helmets with a Case IH tractor on them. They could have a Case IH timeout whenever they entered the Case IH Red Zone and switch to those tractor helmets. Someone suggested that the Case IH Red Zone could be a good marketing tie in. I wanted to ask if they had ever actually gone to a game but decided to just let it be.
One side note from the small schools, we are one of the few teams that have enough to play separate V and JV. Many times we have seen 4-5 varsity players play against our JV. Daughter said it happened last night again. This keeps leading into belief that our JV would beat the varsity. Our varsity only has 2-3 girls who even make contact. The JV has few strikeouts. We have many girls take weeks off, coaches don't get worked up because their replacements are usually an improvement.
Nobody wants that case IH crap equipment. Don't associate us with them.
To build on your idea, we could be like the sooners and after every score a tractor fires up and whips around on the field.
On binge eating, what is it with men and potato chips? My husband will plow through the party size Lays (just realized the irony of that combo of words typing them) in two days. So he tells me, don't buy chips, he binges on them. So then he stops somewhere like Hy-Vee where they aren't even on sale and buys them himself. And he NEVER finishes the bag or tosses it. He will leave the bag with little crumby bits and open a new one. Complained to sister about this behavior, her husband does the same thing.
My weaknesses are Doritos and the Hint of Jalepeno Tostitos. I think it offsets the fact that I don't have much of a sweet tooth.
I'll polish off a bag of Ruffles Baked Cheddar and Sour Cream in one sitting. Those particular chips are a little bit smaller than a normal size bag and less than half full.
Chips are awesome. Greatest snack food ever invented. Damn them.
Yeah.......everything is a fightin' (or murdering) word up in Wisconsin
I'm all in on this and think we should go over-the-top. It should be a full combine with a bunch of hogs chasing it around that are wearing Hooters apparel. There should be a T-shirt gun, but instead of T-shirts it should shoot off Rice Krispie treats, different hybrids of sweet corn and Hickory Park samples. It should probably all end with a small mushroom cloud going off mid-field. Am I missing anything? I can't figure out how to incorporate the Atanasoff computer.
