Mattress question

I just ordered a new king sized mattress today with adjustable base. My fear is that my wife and I will never be on the same page when it comes to when we want the head or legs up or down.

So my question is, do any of you have side by side twin XL mattresses put together to make a king? If so, what are your thoughts?
My wife and I agreed on getting the same comfort and bed style, so we aren’t too worried about needing 2 different comfort levels. It’s mostly just for independent adjustability.

My main concern is how it sleeps. Does it feel like being on a twin vs a king? Also, what about, shall we say more intimate times? I assume you can’t meet in the middle or turn 90 degrees, but have to visit one side or the other. Talk to me Goose!!

College Football is so boring now

The future of college football, as it’s currently structured, ensures it’s the same few teams at the top every year. In fact, there will be a very specific pecking order like this the whole way down the rankings where the predictor of success won’t be heart, coaching acumen, experience, loyalty, etc…but simply NIL wallet size.

I used to think it was bad before but at least over a long enough time period there would be turnover in which teams were great or the occasional surprise Cinderella underdog breaking through. Now, we already know what teams are going to be good by who can buy the best players. Soon, the good coaches at tier 2 schools won’t be able to compete and will need to either move up to better NIL schools or fade away. I am afraid many coaches will be calling it quits.

Don’t get me wrong—I believe the players should be paid for all they do for the university. The NCAA and these universities reaped their financial success far too long. But we need rules…like make it similar to the NFL with salary caps, contracts, and a structured free agency. That would level the playing field a bit.

DVR alert

Since Penn State was the only Big Ten team to start the season on the road, it is highly doubtful we will be on "B1G Football in 60" this week. WVU owns the rights to the game. However, FS2 will be showing a sixty minute version of the game tomorrow morning at 7:00. Hopefully just showing the plays will cut down on the number of Zamboni and pushing off references.

Outside of PSU who else impressed in Week 0 and Week 1

PSU looked very good against WVU, very pleased with the impressive victory, with still some areas to clean up.

Other teams that looked good:

1) U of Miami - good lord did they shellack Florida in Florida. Their QB was playing like the 12 year old kid in an 8 year old neighbor game. Very impressive, offensively and defensively. I would rate Miami number 1 or Number 2 on the evidence presented so far in 2024.

2) Georgia started slow and then took Clemson out in Q3. Georgia #1, Miami #2.

3) Ohio State, Alabama, Tennessee, - all did what you are supposed to do and just spank the team that you are playing....winning by > 50.

4) Notre Dame who for years we heard about their tough schedule, but not this year..... there are 11 spots available for the playoff as ND just secured one of the spots with their win at Texas AM. Tough place to win but ND actually looked pretty good, especially on defense. Very fast, very aggressive defense coached by......... Al Golden. I would hate to do it, but would put ND in the top 5. Need Louisville to step up in a month and knock of ND as the rest of the schedule.....not so difficult. ND secondary was very good. They seemed to be somewhat similar to PSU where their safeties were all over the field making plays, helping in run defense, defending the pass.....very good defense. Pretty good offense, not yet sold on their QB who ran for more big plays than he threw. ND does have some backs that can run.

5) Ole Miss is a beast of a team.....we saw some of that last year in the bowl game probably as many players who will play pro ball outside of GA. Stacked roster. The only hope with Ole Miss is that their coach is enough of a risk taker....does he blow a game for Ole Miss, possibly? Ole Miss has player on top of player on top of player on that roster.

6) Not a great start for Michigan but they got through the game and pulled away at the end, and a brutal start for Florida State, U of F, Clemson and Texas AM. Traditional big 10 teams outside of PSU, MICH and tOSU did not do much, although offensive juggernaut Iowa put some points on the board.

Good Luck WVU

Should be a good one. Anyone ever attend a game in Morgantown? In 1978 we rolled into Old Mountaineer Field at Halloween undefeated. They scored twice, up 14-0. Parts of the stadium were already condemned and I thought the place was going to completely crumble to the ground. Then we laid a half a hundred on them including an 85 yard punt return by Mike Guman. I stayed for the weekend. Fun place.

Abdul Carter

Carter has a way to go at DE IMO.

One thing he keeps doing is dipping his shoulder rushing inside. When he does that he gives up outside leverage.

He needs to get more technical and use his hands. He thinks he can always win with speed and he can't. Sure he might get a few sacks beating a Bowling Green OT next week, but he won't be this monster DE until he gets more of pass rush arsenal.

He also has to stop jumping offsides trying to jump the snap.
