45 ends Middle Age. Kiss my azz

You live to be 100+ and then you can be ITT telling us that Middle Age is 50 or older!

 

[screenthis]

I turn 49 next month. I consider myself old. No way I'm making 98.

Close your damn mouth, youngster. Youngins ruining everything.

 

[drvenner]

I ain't judging. That's just where my mind naturally went. As a matter of fact, more things than I care to admit take me back to a National Lampoon scene of some type. Life's small joys are when it's Cousin Eddie scenes.

We definitely can agree on that.

 

[drvenner]

If you are dividing ages into three groups representing young, middle, and old, the middle tercile would be 45 +- 15, or 30 to 60 (for 90 years).

I had to google tercile. Nice one.

I had to google tercile. Nice one.

Y'all have some empathy. @Nash_Vol97 just had his terciles snipped. You'll trigger him with all this tercile talk.

Game changer! I can’t get any service in neyland. I have to communicate seat assignments with friends before the game or I won’t see them inside.

 

[Orangeburst]

In the Middle Ages..the middle age was probably 10-15

 

[Adam Sandler]

Noooo

Why no?

Find the Western Diamondback and win a prize! (jk about the prize.)

I must have just missed stepping on the little guy this morning. Never saw him until my wife pointed him out a few minutes later.

 

[Weezer]

Close your damn mouth, youngster. Youngins ruining everything.

With all my health problems, I'll be lucky to make 60. That would mean I was "middle-aged" at 30.

Cool story bro time. I have seen the photos and heard bits of the story first hand.

The wife of a first cousin on my wife's side of the family had gone to FL to see family over Easter. She heads to the airport to come home to find her flight is delayed (imagine that). So she hangs around by the gate bored out of her mind for a couple of hours with others who are heading back to Knoxville. They are all worn out and grumbling. A tall, good looking, nice, young black man, (she's white, matronly, about 60 years old) strolls over and asks her if she is as bored as he is. She laughs and tells him she needs to get back to Knoxville to see her grand babies and take care of her handicapped husband since she has been gone for a week. He laughs and asks her if he could sit with her while they waited and she tells him of course, she would enjoy the company. They start having a conversation and talking about family, the trip down there, and so on. She asks him where he worked in Knoxville or did he go to school. He laughs again and gives her his name.

It was Joe Milton. She said she nearly fell out her seat since she is a big Vols fan. That's when the photos started getting taken. They had a great time getting to know each other and exchanged phone numbers.

They finally arrived back in town later that evening. About the time she was walking in the door to her home, she got a text from Joe asking if she made it home OK.

What a guy. Class act. What a blessing to be Vol fans with who is wearing the orange.

Might just meet you there in Costa Rica, hermano.

However, my understanding is that Americans can't work in CR until they get permanent residency...? (takes 5-7 years)

This would be with a large corporation, so I’m sure they have done their homework.
Not the likely move anyways

You can criticize Barnes for things, but I disagree with that being something that holds him back for the tournament. Jay Wright set the model by developing top 75 players for 2-4 years. You get the top 75 talent with the experience in their last years. Barnes has essentially done a similar thing and also sprinkled in a few one and dones. He had to start with 3 star players like Grant, Admiral, Bone, and Fulky but continued with Pons, Vescovi and in process with Aidoo, Mashak, Dilione, Jefferson, and Estrella. I think that strategy is the way to go, but you may have a down year every once in a while. We just don’t take transfer to be a top player on the team.

That’s an excellent example…. Jay Wright develops skilled offensive players…. Barnes typically has a team made up of really good athletes with a basketball player or two….. Look at Wrights last championship team…. He had 6 double figure scorers with 2 of them at 17-18 ppg….They shot 50% from the field and 40% from three…. We need to start developing a better offensive system with better offensive players.

You’re using over generalizations about different races, ethnicities, and nationalities to support your argument. I suspect digging into every one of those things breaks down on closer examination.

Here's a basic one - minorities have a winning record in the NFL as a whole. Black HCs as a group as well. So the entire underpinning, even if one were to go down that awful rabbit hole, sure is based at a terrible starting point to begin with lol

I knew that guy was all class!

Starting pitching has massively under performed. They should be embarrassed

It's not too late.

To Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched it.

Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched it good.

 

[Devo182]

Young's comp is Drew Brees. He found throwing lanes and delivered a very catchable ball. I could see Young being just as successful. No reason why he can't bulk up some to absorb the hits he does wind up taking.

That's a great comp.

Also. . .

Sally says 36-65 is "middle aged".

Zeno and his paradox would say middle age cannot exist.

I choose Zeno. And Joy.
