Trouble for the Steelers?

You seem angry. I promise it’s not as bad as it looks. The good thing about the NFL is you can always get a quarterback next year. The trick is not drafting mid round talent in the first round and signing other team’s mistakes and washed up veterans. Play like a Raven!

No, I'm not angry. Just pointing out that it looks like trolling when a ravens fan keeps interjecting into a Steelers thread acting like the ravens are not basically in the same boat as the Steelers trying to get good enough to challenge the top NFL Teams, especially when those same ravens don't even have a recent winning record vs the Steelers...... And what is "play like a raven"? Lose 2 of 3 to the Steelers?? Just more nonsense....
Give it a rest, children.

You both won…… feel better now?

Edit: and please no ‘he started first’ posts…..

Ryan Day's job at Ohio State

Win a title he's fine. Anything else....time will tell

The Bucks will enter 2024 with a preseason ranking of either 1 or 2.

Anything less than a conference championship and berth in the final playoff game will be considered a failure.

Remember, Ryan Day had no head-coaching experience before being thrust into one of the highest-profile jobs in college football. Lots of pressure on the guy this year...and little room for error.

On the other hand, his team is loaded with a huge amount of talent on hand. They'll be a solid favorite in every game they play this year...with the possible exception of Oregon on the road in mid-October which looks to me like a toss-up.

Finebaum has Ohio State #1 in 2024...says he'll never 'believe in Penn State'

Going into the season, I believed that we would beat Michigan at home and lose to OSU on the road; I never thought that Michigan would be the unbeatable team that they turned out to be. Even leading into the Michigan game, I thought that we had a good chance to win that game because in the previous week, Allar played great on the road against Maryland, and the defense was a constant. I do believe that PSU would've beaten OSU last season at home.
That was one of the craziest games of the modern era. Watch just the first qtr and it looks like we win as their passing game was getting absolutely destroyed. Our guys were so fast that the QB couldn’t throw, often lost 10-15 yds, and was getting hammered. The announcers were saying he wouldn’t make it to halftime.

Then about the middle of 2nd qtr they quit passing and just ran it down our throats. Only attempted one single pass the entire second half….. and that one was negated by a penalty.

Never saw a big game with good weather between major powers in which one of teams had zero official pass attempts in a half.

Have to give credit to their acting coach for having the balls to call such a game.

Gamestop mania back. Halted several times already. Up over 90% at the moment.

We'll see who tries to interfere like Robinhood did last time.
Well, I've seen it posted that etrade was down for at least some key parts of the day. The halting on GME trading at its peak today for a decent amount of time when it was up 90% was followed by a significant price drop immediately when it resumed of which traders were skeptical. And GME had 25X average trading volume today but only jumped 74%. Many traders believed with that massive increase in volume that the share price should have moved much, much higher.

Straight pool was a staple at my dad's pool hall. It is a great game that not many people play anymore in this fast paced, instant gratification world we live in. I saw once where Earl Strickland said for years that he thought the best game to practice was 9-ball and then Mike Sigel made the case for straight pool being a better game to practice and eventually Earl came to agree.

I started gambling @ Straight pool when I was 14 (when I supposed to be at bowling practice in High School) when my father found out, he made me go out for wrestling, to keep me away from it. It didn't work. LOL

Straight pool is the king of games, it demands the highest level of concentration (over long periods of time) and it is a game that requires you to be precise with cueball postion. If you are out of line an inch your run can stop. Position zones in 9 ball are much larger. It is more important in 9ball just to be on the correct side of the object ball. Add to that you have to be able to get up and perform especially after sitting in the chair while your opponent is running racks.

OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

Inquiring minds want to know what happens when this gets to one million views...whether the system can register a 7-digit number...and also the whereabouts of cletus, a really fantastic, knowledgeable, and level-headed poster in the thread for well over two years after it was started.

Separately, a couple more stray thoughts: something weird continues to happen with increased death rates, especially in the 15-45 year-old demographic. The insurance companies picked up on this a couple years ago. I'm not blaming the vaccine because I don't know. Neither do the companies. Neither does anyone. It's just sort of interesting...in a bad way. (Link below.)

That aside, at this point, no reasonable and non-brainwashed person disagrees that the response to the pandemic was spectacularly, disastrously wrong on a number of levels...and did immense damage.

The record is also indisputably clear that those who attempted to point out this insanity early on were censored, ostracized, and demonized while those in power who did the censoring, ostracizing, and demonizing never had to answer for blunders that bordered on the criminal. On the contrary, they've gone about their merry way to the next policy disaster.

So my anecdotal observation of friends in my age group (late 40s) and the number of losses and new cancers diagnosed in 2021 and 2022 was in fact consistent with the national numbers. There is a massive increase in excess deaths of those in their 40s according to that graph relative to earlier years. Hmmm, so what was different about 2021 and 2022?

Yes, we miss @Cletus11 and his excellent posts. He followed some excellent sites and analyzed information quite well.

Would be very interesting to go back through the thread to catalogue what was right or wrong, how people reacted, and summarize what we now know.

Lets Talk Big 10 Expansion

I don't understand why you can't accept that reality
The reality is the high school players used to enroll in college to get a free education and to play football at a high level. Now they enroll for an NIL paycheck and to play football at a high level. Education is now a lower priority.

I don't know why you can't accept that.

Ryan Day's job at Ohio State

After Urban being the crap out of UM, and winning a single natty, Day has come in and crapped the bed in most of his big games. He's been able to sustain the recruiting and status but can't sustain losing to UM and the true elites year in and year out. To me, his demeanor and tone aren't great. When you saw Urban or Tressel, they had a great tone and attitude. Day doesn't seem to have that and I think it permeated down into the team on big games. And while they are stacked at most positions, will still be starting a new QB no matter what. The good news for tOSU is that it will be an off-year for UM and Alabama. Most of the B1G is reloading to some extent between players and coaches. (USC, Washington, Oregon). I think the UM game is going to dictate Day's future.
But that starting QB - more than likely Howard from KSU - was an all-Big 12 QB (I believe 2nd team)
