    Only if I have to discuss the OL ad nauseam after a victory.:cool:

    REALISTIC expectations for 2023 football season

    I'm not usually a pessimist, in fact, just the opposite, but I didn't find anything to get excited about from spring football. The only possible exciting news is the new OL coach but for me, OL is the most boring problem to worry about. I know the OL is important, maybe as important or more...

    REALISTIC expectations for 2023 football season

    I'm having trouble believing we will be able to win as many games as we did last year.

    Friday OT - Had To Have It

    Nothing. I can't think of anything I would pay way above retail price for, and, in fact, would try to get it at below retail price, if anything. If you can't get it below retail, you don't know how to dicker. ;)

    Yes, he's still around and much more likely to be in the three deeps than the two true freshmen listed.

    Friday OT #1 - Y’All Gonna Make Me Lose My Mind

    Back when I was but a lad, I was part owner in a restaurant/bar that had an apartment above it. I was planning to live in the apartment, but it needed some work, not a lot, but it needed wallpaper and carpeting. So I had the wallpapering done first and it looked great, then had the carpet...

    Friday OT #2 - “That Isn’t a Thing”

    I have trouble convincing people who use "wahlah!" that they really mean voilå, which is pronounced the same but looks nothing like the pronunciation.

    Morbid post alert (apologies)

    I never actually saw the body, but I saw the aftermath and watched my mother cleanup the murder site of her mother, my grandmother, who had been stabbed to death by her son, my uncle who lived with my grandma.

    Friday OT - Digging for Gold

    This is also a horrible example, but it's one of the few I know in Iowa: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=titonka+silo+house#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:fab565f0,vid:A_ys1FVpKjU

    Travel woes

    They were leaving as I went into the restaurant, because I guess they had no excuse to be there anymore with gas in their tank.

    Travel woes

    I wasn't traveling, but had stopped into one of my favorite Thai restaurants for lunch and there was an old couple in the parking lot standing around a car. As I get out of my vehicle, the old man approaches me and asks me if I could give them $5 because their car run out of gas. They happened...

    Prey

    So I signed up for a free Hulu trial specifically so I could watch the movie Prey, which is billed as a predator prequel set in the 1700s. From what I was able to learn, it follows a Cherokee tribe and a girl in that tribe who is also a warrior as she tries to protect the tribe from the predator...

    Naked and Afraid TV Show

    Are you kidding? Jeff is fine. It's the other 7 remaining contestants who have a problem. :cool:That's what he told them all during the showdown last night. When the only 7 people in existence (for their purposes anyway) tell you you're wrong and you tell them, no, it's you guys who are wrong...

    Why do we not recruit small speedy WRs?

    Two small speedy WRs aren't enough for you? I don't know how small you want them, but we have offered four guys this cycle under 6-0. The smallest was 5-9, but he committed to Purdue. one is 5-10 and two are 5-11. One of the 5-11 guys has committed to Florida State and the other 5-11 guy and the...

    Start Bench Cut: RB

    Pretty easy. Hall has more speed than both Davis and Montgomery and it's not even close. If Hall had been given the same number of carries as Davis, he would have surpassed 2000 yards as well. Troy Davis had 747 carries in just two years. Hall had 718 carries in three years. Average yards per...

    High Cholesterol

    My doctor says my Cholesterol is 174 and tells me it's not high, yet is always insisting that I go on medication for it because of other medical indications. I, however, have refused to indulge his whims. If it's not high, I'm not taking yet another drug. You already have me on 7 prescriptions...

    I didn't survive Bear Grylls

    That's exactly what I said (the bolded part). I watched every episode of his show, so I don't know what show you were watching, He caught, what? One rabbit in 51 episodes? And maybe a rat in a second show. That's not exactly a stellar record of finding food in the wild. More shows than not, he...

    I didn't survive Bear Grylls

    But he couldn't find food in any environment beyond grubs and worms and grasshoppers. He couldn't catch fish, he couldn't snare rabbits, he had no knowledge on mushrooms, so he couldn't even eat those if he found them.
