    Tennessee private schools are just quitting the TSSAA

    My kids have done summer camp at Baylor as well, and yeah, the campus is fancy. So is McCallie's, which is on the other side of downtown. But for what they charge, dude, it should be:

    Tennessee private schools are just quitting the TSSAA

    I hadn't heard that the private schools had left the TSSAA yet. But their beef has become public recently. Here's an article from a newspaper in Chattanooga -- the city where two of the three dominant teams in Tennessee, which both have boarding students and local students, are located -- about...

    247 Composite Talent Rankings

    This isn't new. The 247 composite roster rankings have been around since 2015, and every year most of the SEC teams we play have more talented rosters. What's new is our results. In Mullen's last three years here, he went 8 - 12 against teams with higher composite roster ranks. Morehead went...

    Booze question (not boobs but accepting photos)

    Compass Box Spice Tree -- A phenomenal blend of highland whiskies aged in French Oak and a couple of Speysides aged in bourbon barrels. I'm a big fan of Compass Box in general and this one's my favorite. Glengoyne 12 -- An unpeated Highland with butterscotch for days. It's a great one when you...

    What's a non-traditional Christmas song/hymn you like?

    There was this compilation album back in the day called "It's a Cool Cool Christmas" that had some great original stuff on it from alternative and indie bands. One of my favorites that I still listen to 25 years later is "Alan Parsons in a Winter Wonderland" by Granddaddy.

    Best movie soundtracks

    The Big Lebowski. Dylan, CCR, Captain Beefheart, Fifth Dimension (Kenny Rogers), Townes Van Zandt, etc. Reservoir Dogs. First soundtrack I never bought. Pulp Fiction's music might have been better overall, but not by much. As for scores, lots of great ones already mentioned in the thread...

    Learfield Cup Standings

    Just glancing at these rankings in past years, it looks like State has been lagging behind for a while. Dating back to when Greg Byrne took over in 2008, State has never ranked better than 11th in the SEC, and even then that was for just one season. Every other year State has been in the bottom...

    What kind of luggage do you use?

    REI brand 34" rolling duffle bag. We've used it as a shared checked bag for the whole family on a Caribbean trip, and last February it easily handled all my snow clothes and coats for a trip I took to Yellowstone. $300, but since it's REI's store brand, it's often deeply discounted. For a...

    New music is picking up so what you listening to?

    Newest album I've been digging is Rose City Band's Sol y Sombra. It's pretty similar to all their others, but that's fine by me. Sort of a mashup of early Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead, with some early 70s Floyd sprinkled in every once in a while.

    EV/hybrids were 20% of new cars sold last year

    The Prime has been great. Handles better than the 13 year old sedan it replaced, it has a compliant ride, it's super functional, it's spacious enough for road tripping and car camping with four adults, it has enough ground clearance (8.3") to tackle a curb, a mildly rocky road, or some snow when...

    EV/hybrids were 20% of new cars sold last year

    Yeah, the 7-seat thing is definitely an issue. I'm guessing the $90k model you're thinking of is the three-row Rivian? There's the upcoming VW Bus reboot, which looks cool and is pretty spacious, but suffers from low range (230-ish miles) and unimpressive charging speeds. It costs $60k - $65k...

    Coaching chsnges per Rosebowl.

    Colorado's rate of sacks allowed this year was roughly 8.6%. That's 109th in the country. They were a little worse the year before, allowing sacks on 10.6% of pass attempts, which was 124th nationally. (For context, this year State's rate of sacks allowed was 9.4%, which was 118th.) As for run...

    Final SoS numbers are in

    Out of curiosity, I looked at ESPN's SOS numbers over the past fifteen years to see where 2024 stacked up with other seasons. In '09, '13, '15, '19, '20, and '22, MSU's SOS was Top 15 nationally and top half of the SEC. And in three of those seasons ('09, '20, and '22) the SOS was Top 5 in the...

    OT - small SUV suggestions

    Here are Consumer Reports' current top SUVs: Several of those, like the Lexus hybrids, BMW X5s, and the Highlander hybrid, aren't small SUVs, but the rest are. Also, the MPG listed is from Consumer Reports' testing, not the EPA estimate from the window sticker. (And the MPG that Consumer...

    OT: How do you consume music?

    Most of my listening occurs on my car stereo and in my kitchen via a Klipsch smart speaker, so streaming makes more sense than most other mediums. We use Deezer. Not sure the lossless quality sounds better than 320 kbps in my car, but I think it does on my amp and floor speakers at home. (Or at...
