    And USM loses to Nicholls St

    This is such a stupid comment. Name the 10 teams playing better ball than us. We lost 2 games by a grand total of 2 runs and had a real opportunity to win both games. I can't stress how important these UCLA and USM games will be for this team as we get into conference play. WE (like every...

    My biggest want from yesterday was…

    Obviously the two biggest issues we saw yesterday were OL play in the first half and penalties (also primarily on the OL). My biggest want, better coaching. The play on the OL came down to coaching and the play calls we saw coming in were total drive killers on several possessions. Having clear...

    Fitness Watch Recommendations and why

    Haha! I've never run the Swamp Stomper, but all of my buddies run it each year. The timing of that race has just never worked out for me. However, Swamp Stomper is held at Shelby Forest, which has some really good running trails. Word of caution, between June and the end of August, avoid...

    Fitness Watch Recommendations and why

    Got into ultra running about 3.5 years ago. I live in Memphis so my first crack at it was at a race in Alison, AR called Sylamore. I've done that 50k every year since 2022. I've also done the Big Buffalo 50k in Memphis several times, and I ended up winning the Big Buffalo 50 miler this year...

    Fitness Watch Recommendations and why

    I upgraded about a year ago to the Garmin Fenix 8 Solar from the Garmin Forerunner 965. Use it a ton in training for ultra endurance races, sauna, sleep, etc. The Fenix is an investment for sure, but it's like a life line for me during races. Probably not worth it if you're not spending a...

    OT: Workout or Exercise Routine

    The knees issue is a misconception. I assume this poster is in relatively good shape and of a healthy weight, given the workout routine. For running, overall joint healthy, and just overall health in general, it does help to not be overweight. Obviously, the more weight you're carrying around...

    OT: Workout or Exercise Routine

    Got into ultrarunning about 3 years ago, which has mostly consumed my fitness routine since. Average running about 50-60 miles/week which ramps to 70-80 miles/week during peak race training. I'm an incredibly average runner so I build my training around volume, which requires a bit more time...

    Looks like we are getting a new IPF for football...

    Do we know if LED lights are going in at Davis Wade this year or has all hope been lost there?

    OT: Bourbon Follow

    Ha just started the page at the first of the year, and we've had little to nothing to celebrate...but if you look closely you see some State items in my posts. Appreciate the follow! Let me know if there's anything you want to see highlighted.

    OT: Bourbon Follow

    Happy Game Day Pack! Long time member and lurker, class of 2010. With the kickoff of a new season upon us, if any of you are like me, you're probably keeping a bottle of Kentucky's finest within arm's reach. If you're into bourbon beyond just the casual tailgate bourbon and sprite, I'd like to...

    OT: Was offered this to Refi yesterday

    I purchased my home in February 2019 under a 30 yr FRM at 4.75%. Monday, I was offered 3.375% and yesterday I locked in at 3.125%. The 25 bps drop was from the rate cut by the Fed yesterday morning. I'm also in a position where I can lock this rate in for 60 days. If rates are lower than...

    OT: it’s that time of the month. Let’s discuss bourbons

    I can't for the life of me figure out how to flip this image. But if I'm going for a good value bourbon, I'm probably reaching for EH Taylor, Four Roses Single Barrel, or Michter's bourbon (the Michter's Rye is a great pour if you're looking for a little extra spice).

    B Walk turning on his boys

    Brandon, I thought the guy was way out of line. You were both throwing generic insults and cuss words at each other and he took it to another level with the "moron from Mississippi" comment....while walking away mind you. Truth is, there is less than 0% chance he would say that to you in an...

    Kansas State Countdown Slogan brought to you by Strange Brew Coffeehouse

    Kansas? More like Kantsas. Am I right?

    Excitement Level

    Yeah that sounds like my issue as well. My confidence in this coaching staff has taken a dip. CJM showed no ability to adjust at any point during the game last weekend. For as much as I'm hoping the players have improved this week, I'm more hopeful that the coaching staff took that L...
