Blum is right, the driver should get the say on all controls. I'm driving. Therefore, I am in charge.




Although the keyword there is "should". So I control nothing and sweat my ass off listening to doosh country.

The passenger is the navigator. The driver gets to play their Spotify playlist.

I posted this in another thread, but some of those odds for teams other than Oklahoma and Texas to win the Big 12 have value, right? Might be worth putting a little bit down on.

I really don't think so. The game is gonna be OU v Texas. It's wishful thinking

Re: Higgins receiving yards -- according to cyclones.com, Henderson's record is 217, not 214. (Blythe is second w/ 214).

Higgins had 172 yards, not 175. ... but good point that getting that on only 6 receptions is notable (that might be a record, I don't if cyclones.com history has ypc per game)

Absolutely. The way they made it sound was those were the odds to win the CCG. Id love to see the odds for the teams to make it into the CCG

I'll try to keep this not-sexist... but why is it that women have to customize everything? In the car, there's buttons for hotter and colder, isn't that good enough 95% of the time? Go to a restaurant and it's literally that scene from "When Harry Met Sally". I truly do not understand.

I never let my wife drive.

She's a terrible ******* driver.

16 hours down the East Coast to Tampa because she wanted to bring the dog with for Christmas?

I'm doin' it. Eddie Hall drove the 24 Hours of Le Mans solo. I can handle 16.

Wife and I do it all 50/50 cuz we both hate driving. The best option is when we can get my sister along on the trip because she loves driving and it evens the adult-to-kid ratio.

Don't go on many trips without kids so usually they have the audio for DVD. I just podcast away with bluetooth ear buds, can get elite ones for under $75. I got these for $60 on sale and the battery life would get through a 10h drive.

Seems a bit late in the marriage for Blum to be raising this problem. I'm guessing that he lost and Crystal won years ago.

Plus, he needs her to help run the We Will Collective!

In our car, driver get to be a DIC (driver in command).

If passenger doesn't like the DIC's choice, they can put headphones in

My wife and I have been together for nearly 20 years now, married for half that. I bet I've ridden as her passenger for 6 hrs total. She doesn't really like to drive, and I kinda do. We do listen to a mutually interesting podcast. We have several hours of a shared podcast that we only listen to together queued up.

In fact, just last week she picked me up from somewhere and I sat in the passenger seat and it was really weird. We stopped for gas and she'd slid over to the passenger seat!

All that to say, a trip to Cincy and back would be 20 hours of this guy driving!

Enjoyed this pod. I didn't even think about the staff having more of a pep in their step recruiting during this week.

Also, @ChrisMWilliams I'm kinda glad you said Nate doesn't text back during the season. Sounds like he's dialed in on working. I think he'll be a MAC head coach in 5 years.

Clones up to #3 in Heartland power rankings. He is in Kansas and thus has a slight KU and KState bias, but is very cordial and favorable to ISU in general.

 

[ianoconnor]

I always drive, especially on longer trips. Probably a control thing, but I don't really trust other people driving.

I wish my wife liked my podcasts. She just doesn't like them generally. Says she doesn't "like being lectured" like that. Most of my are either sports-related, long-form history podcasts, or about politics. None of these topics are ones she enjoys. She especially hates the two "jerkoffs" who do nothing but talk about (to paraphrase her description of them) beer, their ****** golf games, and college sports.

Gee, I wonder which two she was talking about.
