Poor Lando...terrible strategy
I will be the opposite...
Is India overcrowded? Yes Is it dirty? Yes Is their abject poverty? Yes
But the country is so unique and I believe worth a trip.
Taj Mahal - not sure how you can call it overrated...it can be 120 degrees and the buildings are cool inside due to the engineering
(get a tour, take the train there (do not drive))
Agra also has its own Red Fort like New Delhi that is worth the visit.
New Delhi - Red Fort, Humayan Tomb, etc The restaurants around the Jama Masjid in Old Delhi are great
Kerala - the old Portuguese area with some fun beaches for your teenage son and they have beef to eat..and lots of little excursions
Mumbai - I like the city but it is more business oriented
I have been going there since 2009 and only once got Delhi Belly...but it is something you will never forget. It is some of the best food I have ever had in my life and some of the best smells when they have their flowers. But also some of the worst smells and poverty I have ever seen. If you are someone who cannot turn away, maybe not for you.
I can speak also to Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, etc if interested...
But I think you do it...

re: Being booted from a Conference
Posted by tccdc on 9/9/26 at 8:41 am to SlickRickerz
Yes.. Louisville, Southern Miss, Tulane, and Southern FL kicked VT and VCU out of the Metro...
So if you ever wonder as a Louisville we have extra hate for you...now you know why...

It's all coming together for the ACC :nana:...when they redid the contract a few years ago, there was a clause that the football teams (Mag 7) could form their own conference and still be in the ACC
LSU
FSU
Miami
Clemson
UNC
NC State
GT
UVA
VT
also probably Louisville to be at 10 teams..plus throw in ND and their 4 games...
Yes, not going to happen...but let a man dream for five minutes

No Montreal :(
And dead serious when saying this..with right ownership...Oakland would still be very good option
But from these...NC makes the most sense though it hurts Braves in western NC and Nats in Eastern NC

Damn...the old saying is that a broken clock is right twice a day..to finally win one feels good.
Really enjoyed the race...Kimi is just so fun..
Alpine being fun to watch...there battle with Racing Bulls for 5th should be fun rest of the year..
And poor Haas has really fallen off :spank:

I will never forgive the coaching staff at VT never really giving Pop a chance minus his two starts with an offensive line that was swiss cheese and he still beat UVA.
Last year they kept rolling out Drones who either had PSTD or just sucked. Everyone kept asking for Pop but no....
The guy was such a team leader at VT....always stayed positive and his family was great. Go win the MAC Pop
The big positive of the idiocy is that their terrible personnel mgt led to all their firings and we got James Franklin

A dramatic overhaul of IndyCar's licensing system will require drivers to met formal qualifying standards to be deemed IndyCar-eligible, even if bringing a full budget. It also places reinforced emphasis on Indy NXT as the series' preferred pipeline.
Big news in Indy...seems having money is no longer enough to drive

The whole world has lost their mind...is not the purpose of living in communities like this to be able to walk around and not worry about strangers?
Born and raised in VA and have lived other places for work but always come back....if you asked me 10 years ago if I would retire anywhere else but Va I would have said are you crazy? But everyday there are more and more stories like this up here..so many Karens, so many nosy people, etc....

Just got home....wife and I were down there by 830 this morning.
We got seats in the grandstand and by 930am...about all seats were full. But 11am, they started you could only get into the grandstand if someone left the area.
The Stars area where I was at was packed. The whole mall was busy. People were lined again 5 - 10 deep on the fence.
The whole pre-race stuff was great. I live in the DC area and this was the most I have ever seen at an event. From the military bands to the flyovers, it was non stop. Lots of USA USA USA chants.
As for the fans, lots of Palou gear and at least near me some Pat O'Ward fans. Not sure how most Indy crowds are, but with the lottery it was probably 50% white, 20% african american, 10% asian, 10% hispanic, and quite a few Indians
As for the race, really enjoyed it, and will definetly make an Indy 500 now. WIfe is now a fan.

Just got home...could not get a seat in the stands but did not get there until noon local...the crowds on the fence were minimum 5 deep, 10 deep in some places.
Well spread out with lots of bathrooms, food vendors, many large screens,etc
Got to see Awesome Bill from Dawsonville up close...
Also, had one of the Beasts in the Secret Service tent...impressive to see up close..

A few recommendations for Munich
Fun little pub: Habe die Ehre tucked away down an alley
As other stated, English Garden is fun to go to their biergarten or just buy a beer or two and picnic there.
Go watch the surfers on the river....
Eat weisswurst...so damn good but have to get early in the morning
If you like to blow money, Trachten Angermeier has a great staff and where I bought my lederhosen...and I am a fat arse so they were great :lol:

Not sure how many will be there...but the local news has been very positive of the Indy car race here. The only complaints is really when they ask locals who work downtown and they complain about their commute (frankly, I would to as traffic sucks here).
Looking like a rainy day on Saturday afternoon, but looking better for the race as rain hopefully clears out before on Sunday
I am in the Stars area, so hopefully get on the stands for the straight.
