A teton man

Definitely...I love great big grand tetons, and regular tetons...hell I even like itty bitty tetons sometimes..

I can name at least 5 good reasons why you want to spend at least two to three days at each loop.

The grand canyon of yellowstone should be bucket, Boys of Summer, boat trip from Lake to Island, Cody rodeo, beers on LL porch at sunset.

Do a guided bus trip around park. Covered wagon fireside cookout in Lamar Valley by starlight. Historical tour of Gardiner, Mammonth Hot Spgs, Red Lodge, Undine Falls, wolves of Lamar.

and that's just the north loop.

I know..that is my point...but engineerVOL only has a day or two for Yellowstone.

Ole Miss coach and fans complaining about boosters buying players like this didn't happen:



It's just unreal.

Typical Ole Miss culture they buy whatever they want, or buy their way out of their problems, and when someone has more money than them they're threatened.

Cry about it. You guys did it in front of everyone like it was legal. Now it's legal and you're getting treated like a middle-of-the-road program.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The back side of the park is beautiful, but the Tetons always get my attention first

Hehehe..good one..

 

[BigSteve09]

I flew over Yellowstone one time. It was ok but nothing like Pigeon Forge.

Jorel is the only one left that has a good chance of going "early"

Do any of our guys that get drafted have a chance to come back and try to improve their draft position?

 

[Weezer]

Mabrey just picked.

 

[Orange.]

These coaches want NIL "capped" so bad so they can go back to getting away with under-the-table dealings.

It's so ridiculous. I hope the NCAA or SEC doesn't fall for it, but it's going to happen.

Yes, but they won't "fall for it." They are corrupt and will knowingly and happily reinstitute a regime of unequal enforcement or rigging outcomes.

In general, crooked hide behind "moral" concerns so regularly that "moral" outcry and posturing, properly interpreted, practically amounts to an proclamation of guilt. This applies even to sports.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I am shocked.

Why?

 

[Orange.]

normal people doing normal things:

The SEC office stole that game. It was rigged. It was rigged because Birmingham saw the possibility of an additional 10-win team if they cheated. So they cheated.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

More Door, that has a good ring to it. You come up with that on short notice, or you been hiding it for the right time? I tried to think of a good pun, but just don't see one that'll work. I've had a couple on the tip of my tongue, but they seem to disappear at the last second. . . it's like I have Smaug in my head.

Fify

 

[Weezer]

Ortega just drafted by the Twins.

 

[Orange_Crush]

What worked for me is buying a Tonal. The convenience factor cannot be overstated. I just go in the basement when I can fit it in and follow their programs. I am going on almost a year of consistent lifting and am down a couple of pant sizes and well over 100% stronger according to the machine. Much better for losing weight than cardio IMO especially as you get older.

Cheaper option... Buy your first kettlebell and read Pavel. lol

 

[Orange_Crush]

we aren't doing this mayo bs today

Simmer down. Life will look better after a mayogarrita.

 

[franklinpence]

I think they are perfect so we can see what is Gollum on.

Who am I to try to manage the behaviors of these morans? Eowyn some and you lose some.

 

[Orange.]

I can hardly wait to see our new team run through the T.

It is not French's. So it is probably a fake.

I don't doubt the research, and I assume the intent is to prevent pure anticipation as opposed to rewarding the speed of the competitors.

But, it's crazy that there is a screen shot where his competitor's feet are just out of the block before he is. So, his feet reaction time was actually slower. Maybe another change comes.

I find it hard to believe that true research landed on exactly 0.100000 as the fastest reaction time humanly possible.

If you just stagger the delays between "take your mark" and the gun, there's no way people could anticipate the gun. If it's anywhere from half a second to 5 seconds, no way anyone could anticipate it.

But I do like the idea of preventing anticipation starts, I just think there are other, better ways to prevent it rather than punishing someone for having an excellent reflex (which may or may not have been the case in this example, but it's a possibility).

Isn’t the whole point to be faster than everyone else, so if one can time the cadence, then the others should be able too also and that in itself is a self regulated system.

The point shouldn’t be he starts too fast, as long as it isn’t before the gun then what’s the big deal. The guy firing the gun should learn to be more random rather than handicap someone who has a faster twitch gun Han the guy next to him.

Yes. The point is to be faster. Not better or luckier at predicting the gun shot. This isn't competitive red light green light.

Whether or not it's self regulated isn't the point. It isn't about fairness. It's about measuring the thing they are trying to measure, and not measuring the thing that they are trying not to measure.

The rule could not be explained more clearly. If you go less than a tenth of a second after the gunshot, it means you were attempting to cadence the gunshot, which is against the rules.

If you want to say that isn't true, go perform a scientific experiment and show the human reaction time can be less than a 10th of a second, and then they can change it. Until then, there just isn't anything unreasonable about the rule. Trying to take out luck and anticipation from a sport that isn't about luck or anticipation. It isn't that complicated.

That’s pretty much every single fan base.

Seldon dropped 6 spots
Bradley dropped 9 spots
Herring dropped 29 spots
Davis climbed 18 spots.
Umarov climbed 62 spots.


These are all 247 sports rankings. Not the composite.

Huge bump for Umarov. Bradley and Herring are likely just cases of others jumping ahead and not actual downgrades, very small. A decent win overall for the group.

Nico has also cemented himself in the top conversation once again. Not going anywhere.

T.S. Eliot said April was the cruelest month. He was wrong. July is just brutal. It’s been almost 7 months since we saw our Vols on the field. Recruiting has slowed way down. No sporting events that are worth a damn. July. July is definitely the cruelest month. So ready for football.
