There was the guy killed recently (Czech I think?) between Auburn and Columbus on 280 who was biking across the US. As a cyclist I can't imagine trying to ride on 280.
Brother laser jet here. B&W. Print over wifi from my phone. Think it was around $100 at the time. Mine is close to 10 years old now. I've bought one toner cartridge for it in that time. IIRC the cartridge is supposed to last 1200 pages. They have a large cartridge that is supposed to do 3000. Seems overkill for my needs. Toner was like $40-50 for the normal brother branded cartridge when I last bought one. That's probably been 6-7 years ago.

DragonCon was fricking awesome


When I started this series 3 years ago I thought it was going to be a quirky series that hardly anyone but myself would actually read. Never in a million years would I have guessed how popular it had become. Just the number of carl cosplayers there really hit that point home.
I still think the blocked kick and Tre Smiths TD recovery was the single loudest moment I recall in my years of going to Auburn games. Might not be but sure feels that way.
When my wife was in a wreck the insurance company gave her a Mitsubishi Mirage rental car. Honestly reminded me a lot of the econoboxes we used to drive in the 80s and 90s. 1.2l 3 cyl. Not very fast but fast enough. Faster than my 80 series land cruiser. Got 40mpg in the city. Could park it damn near anywhere downtown. I knew nothing about it so I did some research. Apparently they are very reliable and dead simple. Easy to work on. Really made for those developing countries more than the US. I actually really enjoyed it and sorta want one to drive around town. At 11mpg on the 80 series and 14 for the Sequoia wouldn't take much driving to make up the cost.

I was always told the most improvement was from game 1 to 2.


I always remember that 2010 season. Start the season by getting behind Arkansas State. 3 point wins v State, KY, OT v clemson. It wasn't until the end of the Kentucky game we found our identity and began to roll. We'll learn a lot about our team this Saturday. But it's still early and the team we see Saturday may not resemble the one that goes to Georgia in October.

Who has Florida played by comparison?




A team I never knew existed but damnit I want some of their merch.
Feels like several times he's had receivers with leverage in the middle of the field and for whatever reason either doesn't see them or is afraid to pull the trigger.
The closest strike I've seen on radarscope has been in Tuskegee.
I'm beginning to think "Cube" is probably the dad's day of describing the wife.

Have you ever used broth instead of water?


I usually cube the chicken and brown it in the pan add veggies and brown those the then deglaze with the water. Then add the potatoes and cook until the potatoes are almost done then add the curry cubes. Plenty of flavor without chicken stock so I've never considered it.
Japanese mom made it all the time when I was growing up. The flavor of my youth and a favorite dish of mine. Half medium hot and half hot for the perfect heat level. I tend to make it with a little more water than what they suggest. I like it with the viscosity somewhere between heavy whipping cream and half and half.
For a female about to turn 40 she looks pretty great.
I don't mind the desert and plains driving. But driving those 14k mountain passes in Colorado gives me the butt puckers and sweaty palms.

If you ever get a chance to drive the 395 on the east side of the Sierrra Nevada mountains it's an amazing drive. At one point you have the highest point in the continental USA 40 miles to your west and the lowest point in the USA about 40 miles to your east. It's pretty interesting the highest and lowest points in the US are so close together. One point can be near freezing while the other hits 120 degrees separated by just 85 miles.

Not sure if the broadcast really showed this but Baylor did not bring many players. Probably half as many as we had. Aranda mention he thought extending the game favored Auburn. Lack of depth and wanting to shorten the game for his injured QB played big roles in the decision I sure. Good call on his part. His team was in the position to win. Poor execution.

I'm a Toyota guy so I'm new to Ferds with a 18 Raptor with 64k. Don't know much about this 10 speed trans. Anything I should be doing for preventative maintenance for the trans?
Coming from Auburn. College park MARTA still the best/easiest option to park and get to the stadium? Or is it worth it paying for parking by the stadium? Haven't been since the Georgia Dome was town down so I'm not sure if it's any different now.

Still makes no sense to me that a guy can play professionally in Europe and come back to college but can't play professionally in the US and return.


quote:


I agree. If you play professionally in any country, you should be ineligible to play in the NCAA imo. The Euroleague is a far better league than the G League and kids being allowed to transfer from one of their teams to a college in the states is so dumb.


Has there been cases of a US player playing in Euro league and trying to transfer back to the US college system?

For European players they don't have high school or college system. Their system is totally different than ours what's why we allow Euro players who have "played professionally". It's common for Euro players to sign their first "professional" contract at ~16-18 which is usually a very small stipend per month plus room and board. There are also several divisions in Euro professional basketball, similar to our minor league system. Most of these "professionals" are playing barely above Juco level ball making a few hundred or a couple of thousand a month.

Instead of exclusing european professioansl I think a better rule would be having their elegibility clock start as soon as they take their first euro paycheck.
