I wonder what basketball would look like if it went back to the 70s and eliminated the 3 point line altogether.

Just here to get it to page 2 :lol:
Get fouled? Did not initiate contact. Not a flop.
Jump into someone initiating contact then flail around like you got brained with sharpened lawnmower blade to draw an unwarranted foul? = flop.
It really is that simple.

I don't understand how this can be "low budget" and look so good but Rings of Power with it's giant budget had a very low budget Xena Warrior princess look and vibe to it.
I think the redshirt thing should be number of plays not number of games. 175 plays per game on average total. Say 70-80 per side of the field per game. Give a kid 100 plays for a redshirt season. Could be mop up duty at the end of a game or a few meaningful snaps during the game for important live fire experience.
re: NFL Various Games - Wildcard Weekend...Texans at Steelers Tonight

That rear view slo.mo.replay of that throw to Metcalf shows it was right on the money and hit Metcalf in the hands.
He must have bet Steelers.
Back in the day we would decide we wanted to go to the movies and have almost no clue what any of the movies were about outside of the poster or maybe a news clip in the paper giving it a review. Being an engineering student with mainly engineering student friends we all decided to try this new Sci Fi flick on it's opening weekend even though no one had any clue what the movie was about. 2 hours later I walked out of the movie theater having had the single greatest movie going experience I've ever had. So in terms of Nostalgia it's 10/10 times The Matrix for me.
Along the same lines I remember the summer between high school and my Freshman year of college one of those "Last summer with the boys" before moving on with my life, myself and 3 of my closest high school friends went to see Speed one weekend. The time printed in the paper was wrong so we arrived at the movie theater late for the last showing. Only other options were two movies on opening weekend. The Lion King and Forrest Gump. Lion King was sold out so we all begrudgingly went to see Forrest Gump as our only option. Zero clue what the movie was about, never in a million years would I have gone to that movie in the theater otherwise. We all left absolutely blown away by the movie. I feel like the movie going experience is robbed by the gluttony of information and hype surrounding movies.

The Orville was the last great Star Trek show.
re: Indiana’s Secret Weapon - 5th and 6th year players

Watching the timing and coordination of the front 7 to bring exotic pressure only rushing 4 and without tipping their hat who is coming and getting 7 into coverage. Never seen it's equal in CFB. College offensive lines just don't know how to deal with this yet It takes a lot of coordination from the O line and the modern college O lines just aren't together long enough to build this coordination. Get the other team to 3rd down then get them off the field is Indiana's strength. This goes back to the video of Kirk cousins taking about the progression of the NFL passing game because of the progression of the Ds. O line and QB can't identify where the pressure is coming from. QB can't identify the leverage of the defensive backfield and just don't have the processing speed to understand what is happening before pressure gets home. These college QBs and olines just aren't prepared to deal with this type of D yet. I think we will see have to see a evolution in the offensive game to deal with this in the upcoming seasons.

Nix just retired from Phenix City High would be a better fit there.

re: Should I buy a GMC Terrain or a Mazda CX-50?
Posted by DeoreDX on 1/6/26 at 9:18 am to Bjorn Cyborg
You will be hard pressed to find a more reliable platform than the Mazda 2.5L Skyactive-G motor and drivetrain. It's a platform that's spent the last 13 years getting tweaked and optimized. Direct injection so it will sound a bit different almost like a sewing machine at startup and idle. Cabin noise is a bit more than other cars/vehicles. Carbon buildup can be an issue on direct injection motors so it's good to get the motor warm and run it hard on occasion.
re: Will running once per week be enough to build any base?
Posted by DeoreDX on 1/5/26 at 3:21 pm to OysterPoBoy
Not really unless your base is already extremely low, like haven't run in 20 years couch potato low. The thing with endurance training it's all about volume. You are pretty limited how much volume you can get in a single running session a week.
After watching LSU's pass blocking during their bowl game do we want anyone on their line?
re: Highly intelligent 2-3 stars vs IQ of 70 or below 4-5 stars
Posted by DeoreDX on 1/3/26 at 10:07 am to Slick Wandoo
I don't think it's an IQ issue but age and maturity issue. Take 3-4 years of training and practice and you can get really good at something. Athleticism can only take you so far and good coaching and technique can bridge a gap. As with anything in life the more you do it the better you get at it.
2010 Auburn followed this formula. 20+ seniors lots of good not necessarily NFL talent players but lots of experience. Throw in a superstar on O and Superstar on D and you have a team that doesn't beat itself with a couple of game changers to turn Ls into Ws.

re: Name another team that has come out of nowhere like Indiana.
Posted by DeoreDX on 1/1/26 at 5:27 pm to Eldodroptop
Current landscape is all about $$$$. I wouldn't discount the Mark Cuban $$$ influence as much as cignetti. Same with Texas Tech they didn't come out of nowhere they spent a lot of money on NiL. The new landscape is who has the biggest purse strings and who can do the best at managing and getting the most out of their NiL dollars.
re: tOfficial Cycling Thread
Posted by DeoreDX on 1/1/26 at 10:02 am to DownSouthJukin
I only rode one 10 mile mountain bike ride in November. The intention was to take November off then in December the mountain bike season starts and I would start training. Dec 1st I was carrying a concrete paver on my shoulder I slipped on some wet steps and the paver corner smashed the last segment of my thumb. Corner hit right at the base of the nail and partially degloved the tip and shattered the bone into splinters. 6 weeks for the bone to set.
Thumb looks like something out of a zombie movie. Can't really grab and hold on to the handlebars right now. I pedaled around on the single speed last Sunday 3 weeks since the accident going on 7 weeks since any really riding. It was just a short paved 5 miles doing repeats up a gradual 1/3 mile hill but man is my cardio already shot. Thumb is feeling well enough I might try some road on the gravel bike. Double tap should be doable with no right thumbs. Since November my resting heart rate has gone from low. 52-53 average to 64 last week.

re: Woman took a vehicle thinking it’s hers, cops stop her days later, tell her it’s not hers
Posted by DeoreDX on 1/1/26 at 9:10 am to hawgfaninc
Long ago in had a black Saturn Vue. We had a spare key made but they didn't cut it right and it wouldn't unlock the door but would start the car. So it just hung on the key rack never used. One day I needed to go to the store and couldn't find my keys and the wife had the good spare in her purse. So I grabbed the bad spare and went to kroger. Came back out to my car and the door was locked. Tried the key in both sides hoping a miracle would happen and it would unlock but I knew it wouldn't. Go back to the driver side again tried it one last time while letting off a string of some choice curse worse. Little petite young woman walks up to me and asks if she could help me. I explained the whole spare key thing and that somehow the door was locked and now I'm locked out. She proceeds to tell me this is her car. Mine was parked parked two spaces over. Same make model color and interior color. Whoops.

I have friends who's kids live in the Athletic dorm and they say a much of the place smells like weed and you can easily tell the footballs players rooms.because of the smell. They don't even try to hide it.
Look how many people in the crowd are filming it with their phones instead of just watching it.
