The tsunami videos for me.
You see it, you know it's coming, you know it's going to be bad, and there isn't shite you can do about it.

OK, I'll be the one to say it. They are ALL hard as frick to be elite at. However, their level of difficutly is tempered by the individual's committment and work dedication at achieving elite status.
Bud reached elite status because he worked is arse off to be elite.
Tiger Woods reached elite status because he worked his arse off.
Wayne Gretsky was elite because he worked his arse off.
Derrick Henry is elite becaus he works his arse off.
IMO, the team sports are a little easier to become elite because you have a supporting cast.
Rodeo is DEFINITELY too low. Trying to manhandle a 1200# pissed off animal is a whole nother level of dedication to master.

As brittle as the suspensions are on the Cup cars half of them will be in the garage.
Saw some discussion on the caution/stages. Unfortunately, they aren't going away because of the commercials they can run during them. I've never been a fan of cautions counting in the lap count. Very frustrating to get the phantom "debris" caution and then it take them 7 laps to figure out it was a fricking hot dog wrapper.
Riggs and Zane are definitely fun to watch and will move up shortly. I also do not think that Hill will get the permanent 33 ride. He's struggled in that car so far albeit it in impossible circumstances.

If you are a take it to the local small motors guy when it breaks, Stihl all the way.
If you are a fix it yourself kind of guy (small motors are not that complicated) then Echo and it's not close.
If you have major problems like needing to do the top end of a Stihl, they no longer sell piston/cylinder kits that are OEM.

re: The amount of development Africa experienced in the last 50 years is astounding
Posted by bamarep on 5/30/26 at 8:28 am to SoFla Tideroller
Africa always has been and always will be a shite hole.
Yes, there have been periods of growth and modernization.
Yes, there are pockets of success now.
The success never lasts and will never last because Africa's inhabitants have a history of governance and it's not a good history.
It's an inconvenient truth, but it's still the truth.

Is this Bama team good enough to really make some noise if they make it to Omaha?

It still blows my mind that election officials think the public is stupid enough to think that moron actually beat the most iconic Georgia football player in history in a state election legitimately..
re: Sarkisian throws shade at Texas Tech schedule. TTU calls him out....
Posted by bamarep on 5/30/26 at 7:58 am to Tiger Prawn
OK, I'll be the one to point it out.
Both sides of this argument can be true at the same time.
Yes, TT plays a weak AF schedule in a weak AF conference. Schedule somebody that matters FFS. If Campbell is willing to shell out the cash to play Texas in week 0 then shell out the cash to play at top 20 team if Texas won't bite (which they won't)
And, Texas is arrogant as frick. They've won 4 championships in over 100 years. That's hardly being a dominant program. They were dominant in the Darrell Royal years and had a few good years in the late 2000s. They certainly do not have the trophy case to match their arrogance.

Riggs passed Caruth on the last lap to win.

Couple of takes from this weekend's races.
The trucks look like hunchback crabs going down the track. It looks worse than the gawdawful COT. Also, what in the blue frick is a "stop clock" to determine the end of a race? The next race was literally 8 hours away. There was just a few laps left NASCAR, do better.
I didn't get to see much of the O'reilly race due to the late finish but it appeared to be an impossible decision for NASCAR due to the fog and said late time slot. They'll get a pass on this one.
The Cup race was actually very entertaining, especially for a Charlotte race which usually turnes into a fuel mileage race. All of the tributes to Kyle were on point. My goodness at the strength shown by Samantha and the family to be at the track just a few days after untold tragedy. God, please lift them up. I hope Kurt is mentally strong enough (he's had his mental health battles) to pick up the torch and continue to mentor Brexton's career.
As for the race, the Toyotas have something figured out the rest of the teams do not. The only team to beat them literally stole their data :lol:.
Not really a Suarez fan but he owes a lot of his career to KB so that was pretty fitting. When they were interviewing Suarez's crew chief about taking two tires I told my wife that Bell and Hamlin were about to eat him alive but to his credit he held them off.
Good to see NASCAR show a little flexibility with the lightning thing. The storm was moving away and no longer a threat so that was the right call. Lets show that is a peek into things to come with O'donnel being flexible.
Kyle being immediately placed in the HOF is the ONLY appropriate move. Also, all other drivers in the most popular vote should recuse themselves. NASCAR's winningest driver also being named most popular is the only right move.
There's a lot of bitching on social media about the race being on Prime and them not paying extra to watch a NASCAR race. Who the frick doesn't have a Prime account in 2026?
As for the broadcast, JR is hard to stomach for me. EVERY little wiggle or brush with the wall is this over dramatic impending doom for half the field. He sounds like a damn teenage girl. Rest of the crew is pretty good. I love Carl being back involved and LaJoie is pretty good too. Props to him for rocking the 70's pron stash.
I'll say this for the Prime broadcast, at least it wasn't 5 laps of greenflag racing with 5 minutes of commercials. FOX is God awful in this regard.

Track is slick as owl shite this AM.
First truck race I've watched in a while. That thing is crabbing down the track like that gawd awful COT.

There were no easy decisions for NASCAR this weekend.
Especially in light of their most difficult weekend in over 25 years. I don't envy the decision makers.
