Oxford is too much of a pain in the arse to get in and out anyways. It’s too inconvenient.

I can’t believe I had no idea that PM attended and played at LSU for a year…

He also bounced around like a current transfer:

Love was the best running back in college football. That said, I can see him being a bust in the NFL. I don't know why; I think he's really good, but I thought the same of Lenoard Fournette. It just wouldn't surprise me.

re: Fall New England trip (VT, NH, or Maine)

Posted by GentleJackJones on 2/26/26 at 6:32 pm to cgrand
Perfect - thank you so much. Seriously. It’s greatly appreciated and that’s what we’re looking for…strolling around, taking it easy, wandering into shops, having good beer and food, enjoying the sights, outdoors and just unwinding

when we went to stowe/waterbury we were advised to avoid burlington, that was a few years ago. i dont think we missed anything anyway our trip was providence>stowe>waterbury>woodstock>providence providence airport might be the easiest flights we've ever taken


We’ll likely fly in and out of Burlington for proximity to Stowe/Waterbury.

I know they are pretty close to one another, but do you recommend the town and/or staying in Waterbury or Stowe. Is one better than the other or offer more attractions?

Well only be there 4 days, is it worth splitting up? Meaning, 2 days in Stowe and/orWaterbury and 2 days in Woodstock? Or, should we just focus on one of the two (Stowe and Waterbury vs Woodstock). Logistically, I don’t think it makes much sense to fly into Burlington and then drive directly to Woodstock. Also, driving back from Woodstock directly to Burlington to catch a flight, while not long, isn’t ideal.

Logistically, I’m thinking it may be best to stay and explore both Stowe and Waterbury for the short time (4days) that we’re there as opposed to cramming Woodstock in.

What do you think?

re: Highest rated craft beers by state plus D.C.

Too many calories in some of these IPAs. Likely close to 250 calories per serving. Also, anything more than 7.5% ABV is too much for a beer.


Yep. These 4 packs of 8.5% Double IPAs that cost $28+ just isn’t feasible.

I feel way too full and bloated after one. In terms of drinking beer, I like to have a few … a few of those big, boozy IPAs just gets me too drunk and leaves with a pretty tough hangover (and considerable GI issues….).

re: Big College Hoops game tonight - St. John's vs UConn

Posted by GentleJackJones on 2/26/26 at 7:22 am to cardswinagain
St John’s feels like a paper tiger to me. I called it when they lost to Arkansas (actually had them losing to Omaha in first round).

Only one guy that can bring them back to true form. Mike. Jarvis.

Worst thing about the ‘90s (most of it) was no BCS or playoff system. You had split titles in 1990, 1991, 1997, and essentially 1994 too.


Certainly a fair point. You can even throw 1993 in the mix too.

FSU 12-1 finishes #1 despite losing at Notre Dame.

Notre Dame finishes #2 despite beating FSU and losing to a top 12 Boston College team.

Head to head didn’t really matter.

re: Is the high cost to play hockey the reason it isn't as popular?

Posted by GentleJackJones on 2/23/26 at 9:19 am to AUFANATL
Hockey and soccer really are somewhat similar. Obviously, hockey is faster and the rink is smaller, but the buildup is quite the same.

I’m no soccer guy, but I was able to attend a game when overseas. I had seats in their “nosebleed” equivalent which, frankly, really helped me enjoy or appreciate it. There’s a lot more to it than just kicking the ball around…there’s lots of build up and strategy behind it and you can tell teams have different strategies or styles. Soccer takes a lot of patience to enjoy.
