re: has Best Buy made a comeback?

Posted by ArmydawgMD on 8/10/26 at 9:50 am to
I ordered an electric scooter from Best Buy last summer. They quoted me saying it would arrive in one week. Well one week later it hadn’t even shipped. I asked for a refund. They gave me a run around. Eventually I got it 2.5 weeks late but their refusal to refund or at least accurately project when it would ship means I won’t buy from them again
Our unit did a staff ride through the Metz area. Our guide took us on a cool walk that the troops did starting from Croix Saint Clement trail through the village of Ancy Dornot down the main street, the street has several placards recalling the engineering unit who fought off fire from the Germans across the river.

Another day we did a trip to Fort Saint Blaise, which is essentially ruins in the woods, but you were able to explore it and take a short hike. It was just outside the town of Augny.
I imagine pool owners would jump at the opportunity to recoup some of the maintenance and installation costs. If it’s only a couple hours once or twice a week, that’s not bad
If federal tax dollars are supporting these institutions then I damn sure want some accountability in how they operate
Can’t say Terrapin beer was my favorite but I did really like their Hopsecutioner. They seemed to always try interesting flavor combos like peanut butter bacon, etc. It was good for an in person brewery environment but not something I’d jump to buy in stores.
I started watching in 2002, and in my eyes we were a national contender every 5 years.

2002-lost one game but easily could have made it to the natty if OSU or Miami were to slip up

2007-still think we were the best team that year. Freaking Kentucky loses it to Tennessee and we are left out of theSECCG. Of course LSU jumps us despite us being higher ranked initially.

2012-the setback at USC was worrisome but after beating Florida everything fell into place. I remember seeing all the teams ahead of us lose the weeks before the SECCG. We take Alabama to the ropes and honestly still not sure how we blew the lead after the blocked FG

2017-Another magical year, everything just worked out. Of course Auburn beats us but we turn around and beat them.

Then we had to wait 4 years…2021, then 1 year….and since then we’ve been a contender annually.

Honestly I think if we hadn’t played in the SECCG the past 2 years we would have another natty too. Seems we just have run out of gas after those games and have nothing left in the tank for the playoff
I bought the Fagles version,. Thanks for the rec :cheers:
Wanting to reread the story after watching the movie. I last read ‘The Adventures of Ulysses’ by Bernard Evslin back in middle school.

I am looking for a similar prose, easy to read version, geared for adults. Any recs?
Cignetti couldn’t win consistently in the SEC. The downside of this conference is by the end of the season, UGA’s team is so broken, they play less than optimally in the playoffs. I think Indiana is gifted an easy schedule with a few tests thrown in so they can grow, but there schtick wouldn’t be the same if they were SEC
the momentum counter is straight nonsense
Let’s go Norway!

BS penalty at the end. Ref had money on the game or something
Cape Verde isn’t bad with their ball skills and passing, they just don’t have any finishing third play that we’ve seen yet
The chip had a signal when the defender touched it....again not offsides since it was touched
it was deflected off the portugal player. not offsides
Sure we won a knockout game, but in the old format Bosnia wouldn't have even qualified.
Loss in Rd of 16=Disappointment in my book since you have to go back to 2002 since the last time we advanced past that stage

Host nations have historically over performed at the WC (minus Qatar) therefore QF at a minimum for me to say success and semis would be a pleasantly surprised success
Is he suspended the next game with a red? If so we are fricked
Except in this case the WR went through the DB...big difference
If you have to go to VAR to decide a borderline penalty like this, and you think that is in line with the spirit of the laws, then you are the issue
