    If you need technology to keep you from drinking beer when it's warm, you're drinking them wrong.

    Game 2 vs Auburn game thread...

    Think of me what you will, but tonight is my first visit to the new DNF because of my work. I'm *shocked* how crappy the fan discipline is walking up and down the stairs DURING THE FREAKING GAME.

    OT: Headed to Las Vegas next week. Never been. Staying at the Paris for 4 days!

    We went to the Mob Museum, which is great. It gets you by the old strip, so you can knock out a look at that while you're there if you're not going for something else. My wife wanted to go to Madame Tussauds. I wasn't that psyched, but we had a good time there. Lots of photo ops in there to have...

    "To the Moon, Alice"

    When I was a sophomore at State, the room across from ours in a four-room suite was occupied by an older guy we'd see coming in and out with a chainsaw. Don't know if he was an employee or not, but most nights he seemed to fall asleep in front of his TV with it blaring the theme to "The...

    Arguing with the ROBOTS!

    They didn't like how it reacted to breaking balls down in the zone and the looping ones that were near the top of the zone. Also, there's no black on an actual home plate.

    Arguing with the ROBOTS!

    They've tried all robot balls and strikes in the minors, and noboy liked it.

    Kevin Fant

    Really strange timing for this thread to pop up. Kevin's brother passed away from cancer today. Really sad. (Not implying anything sinister, just weird how things happen.)

    OT: Name a Movie or Series better than the Book.

    The movie did a really good job, but there's some stuff in there that's not as accurate as the book. Baldwin was OK as Jack Ryan, but I think Harrison Ford is better. The movie is one of the remarkable achievements ever. To turn that book into a movie with all that depth of characters is pretty...

    If P4 football programs don't break away

    The scheduling issue, which I don't think anybody's really talked about in this thread, is a thorny issue driven by the bowls. The biggest reason for the long break is to get the quarters and semis into bowl games. Until that changes, it's gonna push the whole thing back. The only other issue is...

    New $4B Washington Commanders stadium plans revealed

    They've done a pretty good job updating what's turned out to be a decent skeleton. (It got another renovation recently, and there's a big project in the works for the Superdome/Smoothie King Center.) Concourses are still too narrow, but it's OK. New Orleans is set up really well for hosting big...

    So Dante Moore is returning to Oregon...

    If folks are predicting picks, they have to take into account that NFL teams almost always take QBs higher than they should because they're trying to hit the lottery with one. Sanders is one of the few who fell down the actual draft order. I don't really care about projecting picks; I care about...

    As of today - where does Hubbard rank in Mississippi State basketball?

    Keyshawn Murphy hit about a 40 footer at the buzzer to win it for Auburn, but…

    The refs start the clock on inbound plays. You can see the ref standing next to the A&M coach in the bottom right of the screen with his hand behind his back. There's a pack with a button there that starts the clock on inbound plays. I'm not sure if the same device is used to hear when a whistle...

    That punch by DK Metcalf is going to be disastrous.

    NFL players don't get paid by the teams in the playoffs. They earn money from a league pool based on how far they go.
