    AKB: Road trip advice for coastal SC and GA

    I agree that HHI was much nicer 20+ years ago (my family has had two weeks of timeshares in Shipyard since 1984 when I was 2) before all of the off-island build-up and the insane price increases at the golf courses on the island (though I will always feel that Oyster Reef is worth the cost)...

    “SMU coach Rhett Lashlee calls for end to December portal window”

    He also makes an argument about academics and kids taking finals but then says a December period makes no sense because the academic calendar ends in May... you'd think a college coach would have a better grasp on the semester based academic system.

    FC/OT: Insane stat about 2001 Miami team…

    Seneca did have that nice run where he lowered a shoulder into one of their safeties... maybe Ed Reed?

    Tyler doesn't get an invite to NYC.

    I agree. he's a great player who may be a better pro prospect than the finalists, but 10 TDs is nowhere near enough to make a case at the heisman. If he was the leader, or at least top 5, in receiving TDs there would be a case, but he's nowhere close. (he's tied for 64th with 6 while the leader...

    2024-25 Sixers Thread

    I agree 100% I grew up in Cherry Hill, and am now living there again, and the beauty of the sports complex in southern philly is the ability to easily get over the bridge, park, and tailgate for any/all home games. A move to Center City, which would basically force the use of Patco through...

    Student Tickets

    It was much easier with paper tickets. A friend of mine didn't get tickets one year when we were students in the early 2000's (His family was on a multi-week vacation when the notice came in the mail and his reply was delayed) but he would walk by frat tailgates when we walked up to the gate...

    2024 Phillies Thread

    That was one of the most painful sports fandom experiences of my life watching wheeler fall apart like that with my yankee fan wife and her friend making fun of my son and I all night long. When I bought the tickets in May I thought it would at least be a decent game... They really need to do...

    Old(ish) fart time: Today’s slang phrases that need to be obliterated.

    I know the feeling. My company moved from annual reviews to quarterly "touch-points" based on your self-assessment. So now I tell you if I think I'm doing a good job and you then agree with me or not. Just tell me how you feel about my performance and cut out all the BS. I hated doing the...

    OT: Best Cult Films.

    I'm surprised no one has said Boondock Saints yet.

    Getting ready for Michigan...

    That hit at the 1:17 mark was brutal, always loved seeing that on the big screen before kickoff.

    So no discussion about Fitzgerald?

    True.... but based on the descriptions and the number of individuals involved I would have to think that a good number of them would be straight. Looking at population percentages it's highly unlikely you have more than a few guys on the team that aren't straight.

    So no discussion about Fitzgerald?

    I never understood some of these hazing "rituals", and am thankful that I got through my freshman sports seasons without anything more serious than a wedgie in the locker room... why, as a straight male, would you want to rub your junk on some other guy for any reason? I just don't get it

    What's your favorite Diner Food?

    I go breakfast 90% of the time no matter what time of day. French Toast with corn beef hash, 2 fried eggs & hashbrowns... Unless they have a unique benedict. My favorite was a place south of Seattle which had lots of seafood options alaskan crab benedict, fresh or smoked salmon benedict, etc...

    AKB: Anyone here go Solar Power for their home?

    I put them on my room in NJ back in 2017, one of the best decisions I've made. The state had a rebate program for 30% of the total cost and I had a 20 year loan at $120/month for the remainder of the cost. The difference between purchasing and leasing is that I get the Solar Renewable Energy...
