NCS is dreadful…gulp

In fairness, their senior starter QB is out...starting a true freshman at Clemson is no bueno for anyone. Their best offensive player, WR Concepcion just fumbled the ball and gave it right back to Clemson...AND we simply broke them in Charlotte. We could have scored at least 64 points on them...we scored 51 and the backups squandered several drives late. Nico also threw 2 picks...so honestly, we could have hung 70 on them if we wanted to run up the score. We absolutely manhandled their lines on both sides of the ball. We have to do the same thing tonight...at least on defense. They need to be knocked back 2 yards as soon as the ball is snapped. If we cannot do that, we may have a dogfight on our hands. My money is on our Dline manhandling them and stopping the run. Need a pick or 2 from the secondary...

It's way too soon to tell, but the changes in college football may be opening the way to big distances between the haves and have nots. Conference realignment is going to prove interesting, too, with some of the more important games in the big10 (like USC-MI) happening earlier in the season. The addition of TX and OK isn't going to help a lot to stabilize the SEC either; the predictions of no one finishing the season unbeaten might happen regularly - at least in the big10 and SEC. The bottom halves of conferences may slump, but the upper parts could turn into slugfests. Hard to tell about the ACC and what's left of the PAC and Big12 for a while.

So all the talking heads picked USC over MI. MI is taking care of business. Every talking head I’ve heard today picked the good guys cover OU. So now I’m getting worried 🥹

does this look accurate to you?

“To move 1 kilogram of body mass over 1 horizontal meter, you expend 0.5 calories,” he said. “If you move 1 kilogram of body mass vertically on stairs it’s 10 calories. So it’s 20 times the calories moving vertically rather than horizontally.”

They telling us we can stair climb for 3 minutes equals one hour of walking?I walk 3.6 miles day in little less than hour, so if I walk at same pace, only need 3 minutes?

Want to burn calories? Climbing stairs might be the most effective exercise for you

If you’re trying to lose a bit of weight and want a new way to do it, stair-climbing as a regular exercise — or just adding a few flights a day — might be for you

Hell if I know 🤷‍♂️ Going vertically you are working against gravity so yeah you will expend more energy than moving horizontally. But you have just presented why inclined stair machines are such a better workout than walking I do know that.

Don’t be sorry you asked it’s just I don’t typically use those units. I normally work in English units not SI. Calorie is a unit of energy. I normally work in Joules. But as I said the premise is sound if you are moving vertically under your power you are going against gravity and that is significantly more work that moving horizontally. Additionally I’m not sure this is some closed equation but rather a lab test on actual humans. I’m not sure I’d even know what to calculate 🤷‍♂️

But I would caution going all in on stair climbing at our ages due to wear and tear on lower back, hips, and knees.

ND40 and I are retired ... that's too much to ponder these days.

And like I said I don’t think it’s even a closed equation.

And it’s amazing how quickly this stuff leaves you when you don’t give a rats ass about it anymore. On the consulting it can take me quite a while to recall something I did just a couple of years ago now that I don’t GAS about it anymore.

Here is your money shot from the article. And again this is a generic statement as the larger (IE more mass) you are the more you’re gonna burn I’d guess but as a ratio metric comparison on stairs vs horizontal the 20x might hold true.

“Research shows you burn about 20 times more calories going up stairs than walking on flat ground. Even going down stairs you burn roughly five times more, the muscles being worked to slow the body’s descent.“

By “stair” I would assume they use some standard stair pitch inclination which is absolutely not in my wheelhouse.

heck, the 20 times just seemed too good to be true..if I can do something hard for 3 minutes, sure beats walking for an hour..i hate walking.

And you will destroy your back, hips, and knees. Higher energy burn rate = higher load. Higher load = higher wear and tear

I’d say being aggressive about it would be for the fit people. If you consider yourself fit maybe it’s for you. My fat ass nursing this back surgery tells me my case 😂

I just want to thank God Almighty, and this simulation, as well as any Deity you fellas might pray to....that we do NOT have to listen to Gary Danielson suck the foreskin off of Oklahoma and Venables today. In fact, with Gary and ole Vern unceremoniously shipped off to watch crappy big10 football hopefully for eternity...we should never, ever have to listen to Gary spend hours criticizing UT and slobbering all over Saban, Smart, Spurrier, or any other player or coach pitted against our VOLS. Hopefully they are forever banished with CBS.

In fairness, Vern was really just guilty by association. He never much badmouthed the good guys, nor was he one to fawn all over Saban, Smart etc like a 12yo girl drooling for some 18yo boyband singer. That was really all Gary, and it was truly reprehensible. I wouldnt wish all the crappy big10 football they are gonna have to watch on my worthless BIL.
