National Chip and Dip Day- March 23

Happy "Chip's and Dip Day"
What's your go-to?

Mayfield French Onion all the way. IT was a treat when dad brought that home from the grocery store.

 

[Chuckie]

What does “he kept it skinny” mean?

NVM...should have known someone else would think of that joke first

Whatdya do, take a wrong turn off a roundabout and get lost?

Marcus Goree and JJ Harell committed. NCAA thing is still dragging out. Recruiting looking good overall. Spring practice started this week. Bball in the Sweet Sixteen tonight! Whipped Duke in a spectacular game. Jay Bilas is a dirty "journalist." Alabama "killing it" off court. Baseball off to slow start but it's a long, long season. I was gone for a bit too. Maybe someone can tell you more.

Me the past few months…




Seriously tho, nice update!

E v e r y o n e is betting k-state + Vols ML.

Yeah, they got a boost for that bet on DK. I took Vols -9 (yes, I jacked it up) at +214 with my 16% boost. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but I like it

I'm still trying to decide. I feel like FAU may score over 60 and we'll go over 65. May do the Vols ML + UT o65.5

Did you take Mich. St and UT, ML ? I think I'm going to

The most comfortable jeans I have ever worn. I don't wear anything else.

I can't decide on the Mich State game. . . I feel like Izzo can get the win, but they've gotten beat by teams worse than K-State.

Izzo's had 3 days, I think he out schemes 'em, unless Nowell goes off, very possible. I haven't took it, yet. But, I don't wanna rely on another team, when I know UT are winning. Probably, won't take it, now

That's like watching a t-ball game.

Dominique Fishback's acting is a masterpiece in that show. She definitely deserves a nomination.

Fell in love with her in The Deuce; but, this...!!! She's mindblowing!

The commie generation is stupid...I understand the irony with what I said...they do not understand the irony in their hypocricy.

You may live to see the greed on all sides completely destroy college sports...I hope I don't.


I do not want college sports to turn into a purely mercenary money grubfest...I am not wrong.

I have often lobbied for a pro minor league to be implemented so kids that actually want to go to school and be amateurs playing for a valuable expensive scholarship can do so, while the mercs can go on and get their money and rot for all I care....I rarely if ever watch pro sports because of the greed on all sides...I want to see kids at the major college level play for somewhere they care about and not just for money....I am not wrong.

Try that logic with everything else in life.

It's so weird that everywhere else in life, you mock socialists, and then turn into a complete socialist when it comes to your favorite pastime.

You want to watch true amateur sports? Go out and watch intramural. But you don't. You know why? Because it's a **** product that you won't go see in person, and couldn't watch on TV due to it being too ****y a product to get television rights.

What the above argument actually is, is "I want be able to conveniently watch this super high quality product where vastly talented youths make everyone else rich, but I don't want them paid market value for their work because... things."

I always thought the same way. But then I found a way to put mass on my legs.
I used to work legs hard and heavy with squats, deadlifts, leg press, hack squats, leg extension/leg curls. Would get definition without mass. Didn’t matter what I did. Got stronger but still chicken legs…

Then in 2019 in preparation for Norther Tier and Philmont trips with my son and Scouts, I was 56-57 during the training. I started doing high rep body weight squats. At first just body weight until I was able to do 5 sets of 100. Then I started wearing my backpack loaded to 60 lbs. I worked my way up to 10 sets of 100. 3 x a week or 4 days of 10 sets x 100 with no weight.

My quads, hamstrings and glutes started getting bigger. At 60, it’s a great way to keep endurance for snow skiing, water skiing and wakeboarding.
I have kept my leg routine, but switched to a weighted vest (also 60 lbs) I now alternate with my rowing machine too for a different type of endurance. My legs are no longer chicken legs…

It sucks at first, but then becomes addictive. Great way to burn calories and lower your resting heart rate , improve cardiovascular endurance as well.

Also, pick up heavy things and walk up/down stairs.

This is why Nico won't overtake Joe this year at any point. Not a knock on Nico in the least, but this offense moves so fast that you need time to learn how it all works. Having him for 3-4 years, there is no telling how good Nico could be by the time he wins his second Heisman and declares for the draft.

I will try it. Does having arthritis in my hips give you any pause in me doing so many reps? Thanks, Doc. So much more helpful than these other morans who just point and laugh at my toothpick legs.

I just look at it like this in regards to NIL...

85 kids on scholarship, and what would we say one of those cost a year...30-50k with everything included (tuition/room/books/etc.) again just PER YEAR here...and that's just a rough average.

So take the high end 50k per year per scholarship...that's $4,250,000. Josh Heupel is now set to make almost 9 million a year.

In short I see no issue in the majority workers (student athletes) making more than the cost of school to generate the sort of revenue they do for their schools. Especially when you consider The UT Knoxville football program paid out $38,115,086 in expenses while making $91,615,408 in total revenue. This means the program turned a profit, making $53,500,322 for the school.

That's -just- the football program that turned out over 50 million in profit. And they sure as hell haven't dropped ticket prices or tuition costs.
