We share a checking, savings, and retirement accounts not tied to our employers. We each have one credit card that the other doesn't have access to. We touch base weekly on our current balances and pay them off every month. It's worked well for us the last 8 years.

It might just be me, but this season feels very…generic. Like none of it matters. I still try to follow along on ESPN.com and the MSB, but I haven’t watched any games since September.

I’m sure it’s interesting on some level but I’m just not on that level I guess.

I've made the comment before that OSU/Michigan was the ultimate "frick you" rivalry because losing that game has historically killed your season, and UM and OSU have fricked each other out of probably half a dozen NCs over the last 60 years. But last year... it didn't matter. OSU lost that game, shrugged it off and won the NC anyway. (Avenging a loss to Oregon on the way too.) None of the regular season matchups mattered.

Think of the Kick Six. People remember that so fondly not just because of how crazy it was but because it flipped the dynamic of that entire season. Bama's hopes were killed, Auburn's were renewed. If that play had happened today, Bama still gets into the playoff so what the frick would it have mattered?

Nobody really knows for sure how she sank. One of the prevailing theories is that she was thrown up, over, and down a rogue wave so violently that her bow smashed into the bottom of the lake while her stern was still above water. There's a decent chance that the sinking and breakup happened so quickly that the crew were still alive for a short time at the bottom of Lake Superior. :speechless:

I dunno man, when I think of ships sinking I imagine the deck flooding, the slow list, the gradual "slip away into the sea" kinda deal. Imagining a ship that size just being destroyed by mother nature in a few seconds is next-level shite. I can't imagine very many more terrifying ways to die.

That was snapped at midfield. Touchbacks are spotted at the 35. Imagine trying to scheme against a 2-minute offense that only has to move 15 yards :lol:

Half of you chuds are gonna balk at this but I watched Kaitlyn Lawes in the Olympic curling competition back in 2018 and have had a huge crush on her ever since.

One thing I really miss about broadcast television is how every TV in the house and on the block could be tuned into the same thing and they'd all be synchronous. None of this "let my stream catch up 10 seconds later" bullshite. Everyone experienced that game-winning TD or walkoff home run at the same time, whether you were sitting in the family room or working in your garage with your 40YO rabbit ears.

I also miss the sensation of just turning a knob on a TV and instantly having a picture. Now when I power the TV on, it takes a minute to boot, and then I scroll through an app list, pick an app, pick a profile, and wait another minute for the program list, then pick my program, let it load, and a solid 2 minutes have now been wasted. It's little, first-world-problem kinda shite for sure, and I don't really watch enough TV for it to make a big difference, but it sure is annoying.

I completely slept through last night. Had no idea anything rolled through until someone mentioned it at work today. (My NOAA radio alerts were turned off.)

It's steady rain with a little bit of lightning but nothing terrible here in central Plano. Hardly any noteworthy wind. I felt comfortable enough to run outside for a moment and see how my new drainage equipment was performing a few minutes ago. YMMV but I'm a little disappointed :lol:

Plano checking in. Let's roll :usa:

I was only half paying attention to A&M/Arky but I was surprised to see Arky call their first timeout of the second half with like 15 seconds to go. They were down 10, a FG gets them within one score. Could they not have used a TO earlier in the possession? Genuine question, not sure how the game flowed.

Still annoyed that Carroll left the college ranks at all. Would have loved to see USC against some of those Meyer & Saban squads.
