Recruiting Football Talk VII

I was grateful as ever for VN during the game, in addition to all the normal fun. I was dissatisfied with "umpcast" and trying to figure out if there was a difference between the broadcasts, when someone on this thread or in the baseball forum took it upon themselves to let everyone know that EPSN2 was conventional.

There are certain plays or parts of plays where "umpcast" is the bomb. But it's something that people in production need to figure out and replay a fragment of umpcast when beneficial during or even after the game in highlights.

What I don't like is that I can't record these games on youtubeTV like I can football and basketball games. How did you record it?

It was SECN. I think…I deleted the recording.

My nephew was dealt a bad hand in life. I'm just trying to teach him that it doesn't have to define who he is, or is going to be. He has the mindset that the whole world is against him right now, so he's always confrontational. There's just a lot of barriers to break down to get him to a place of positivity.

Yeah, our newest addition has had a lot of unfortunate circumstances. His folks split when he was about 3 or 4, lived with his mom who had drug issues (lost him due to driving high with him in the car), and his dad is always traveling due to his job in construction (and has had his own issues, though not as bad as the mom). His grandparents took him in when he was 5. The grandmother passed from cancer in 2020 and his grandfather passed from cancer as well last year. His life has been nothing but instability in one way or the other and he was mostly just shut down when he started living with us. I'm hoping we've gotten him in time to give him the stability he needs so he's not mad at the world for his circumstances once the teenage angst hits.

Edit: Just to add...I really tried hard to find some sort of hobby he wanted to try out and we landed on him playing the drums. Something just appealed to him when I suggested it...maybe being able to beat on something. We've been paying for lessons every week and he's completely addicted to his drums...he even participated in a drum off in front of others after only playing for five months, which was a surprise since he was always so reserved. Thank God we have a basement since they're always loud (my son and I can turn down our guitar amps...no volume knob on the drums). I think having something like that gave him an outlet he really needed and it gives him a big sense of pride and accomplishment. If your nephew doesn't have a good hobby, then finding him one might help him a lot.

That didn’t last long.
Gators in. Tulane out. Guess that was bad info.

Yeah, that prediction was half wrong. Tulane (Oregon St bracket) and the Gayts (Okla St bracket) are both in. Not sure who the 2 bubble teams were who got bumped.

Our league ended up with an astounding 11 spots. Doubt that the NCAA would let 11 in generated the (wrong) predictions that Florida would sit out. Texas and Oklahoma are in too. So the SEC next year will include 13 playoff teams from the previous year.

I would never jinx another person to get to you. Acuna never did anything to me. If I wanted to bring you pain, I would just buy the Papermill WH and then burn it down.

It's right next to a fire station, so it's safe from your evil machinations!

 

[Weezer]

i love that every depiction of @Weezer has him angry, smoking a cig.

I hate cigarettes. But I am angry.

So we won't use fire...

That one yesterday is going to sting for quite some time. Had to take the night away from posting. Like the Purdue game, it just felt like this team could have been the one to make a final 4 of its sport...if not further.

We have all these top 5....top 3...etc teams across the big 5 sports but man we are snakebitten in the postseason. At this point I'll just take a championship game or making the national semifinals.

We've got to be due for a streak of trophies this decade. I swear.

Do you put salt on your watermelon?

 

[Devo182]

@Devo182 Any recommendations for BBQ restaurants in Asheville?

Would have easily suggested Buxton BBQ but it just closed recently ...loved that place...Carolina style BBQ

I'm not a BBQ guru, but there's a good place beside me called Bear's BBQ. Nice outdoor atmosphere too, especially on weekends. It's good. People really like it.

Then there's 12 Bones. Very popular. Was Obama's go-to. Luella's is good and they have a few different locations.

Also a new place called Huli Sue's...haven't been there yet but it seems to be getting great reviews so far.

Wouldn't say this is a huge bbq town, but it's tough to find a bad meal here too. Good luck

Busted. Now we know you're not from the south!

100%
the ONLY way to do it!

 

[Devo182]

Keep driving....especially if headed east. Eastern NC BBQ is the bomb.

I think that's what Buxton BBQ was (there's a Buxton in the Outer Banks). Vinegar based, which I never thought I'd like, but turned out loving it.

 

[drvenner]

No way Pete Maravich isn't top 3 imo. Dude was unstoppable. I'd put him behind Alcindor.

His teams were not good and he was a volume shooter.

Haha my grandfather did it and encouraged everyone else to. He grew his own watermelons way out in Riceville.

Weird thing is I'm a salt addict. My wife has to hide it during the week, so I only use it when cooking steak.

But the idea of salt on fruit always flabbergasted me. I love watermelon on its own. To me it'd be like putting salt on an orange, strawberries, a banana. Just give me the sweet.

May 27, 1897

Greatest book I've ever read!



According to the Daily News of London, the first copies of the classic vampire novel Dracula, by Irish writer Bram Stoker, go on sell on May 27, 1897.

A childhood invalid, Stoker grew up to become a football (soccer) star at Trinity College, Dublin. After graduation, he got a job in civil service at Dublin Castle, where he worked for the next 10 years while writing drama reviews for the Dublin Mail on the side. In this way, Stoker met the well-respected actor Sir Henry Irving, who hired him as his manager. Stoker stayed in the post for most of the next three decades, writing Irving’s voluminous correspondence for him and accompanying him on tours in the United States. Over the years, Stoker began writing a number of horror stories for magazines, and in 1890 he published his first novel, The Snake’s Pass.

Stoker would go on to publish 17 novels in all, but it was his 1897 novel Dracula that eventually earned him literary fame and became known as a masterpiece of Victorian-era Gothic literature. Written in the form of diaries and journals of its main characters, Dracula is the story of a vampire who makes his way from Transylvania—a region of Eastern Europe now in Romania—to Yorkshire, England, and preys on innocents there to get the blood he needs to live. Stoker had originally named the vampire “Count Wampyr.” He found the name Dracula in a book on Wallachia and Moldavia written by retired diplomat William Wilkinson, which he borrowed from a Yorkshire public library during his family’s vacations there.
