I've used YouTubeTV for a couple years now. It includes B1G Network and has unlimited DVR. It looks like you can try it for free, although I'm not sure about the length of the trial period. They're running a special where it's $55/month for the first 3 months and then $65/month thereafter. Cancel anytime.

Del Rio. Great call! Bell's…

Del Rio. Great call! Bell's pitchers and the veggie empanada with a heavy dash of Clancy's. My brother and I had a place on Main St, next to the Heidelberg...and we were at the Del 4 nights a week. Easy.

It was a little scary. Shook…

It was a little scary. Shook for about 20 seconds. I've experienced earthquakes before both here in Utah and when I was living in the bay area but, it'd been a while. It's definitely disorienting. Anyway, it seems as though things are mostly OK, although 30K people are without power. Hopefully that gets resolved fairly quickly.

As Juwan said after the game…

As Juwan said after the game “If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.”. 

I think it's too early to… I think it's too early to blame coaching for 3 reasons...

1) Even with Beilein, this team was expected to struggle and possibly miss the tournament.

2) Livers injury has limited this team to 10 scholarship players and a 7 man rotation that includes Austin Davis. Imagine this team with Livers, Iggy and Matthews. I thought Poole should've stayed as well, but he proved me wrong by getting drafted in the first round.

3) We've missed a ton of open shots, many of them at the rim. 3 point shooting has been abysmal in our losses. Most glaringly, last night.

None of these are attributable to coaching, in my opinion.

We knew that this year was going to be struggle and this has been compounded by the transition costs that come with a new coach. Assuming Christopher signs, better recruits will definitely help. Although, it may be a couple years before we are fully restocked.

It's going to require some patience from the us as fans, but we can still support the team along the way. So, chin up...and Let's Go Blue.

This is akin to hiring Matt Millen as your GM. Great player, 0 experience. The difference is the stakes. The Lions have always been terrible, so taking a chance on someone with a high ceiling was not that much of a risk. FSU has been a marquee team over the last several decades, recent history aside. Allowing that to erode further may result with kids forgetting you were ever relevant (**cough**).

Not that I care. I think it would be fun to watch.

OSU FG% OSU FG% won't matter if they just get the ball 'til they put it in the basket. Ugh.
No possible upsets?

What if MSU upsetzz Rutgers?

 

Podkicker Pro I've used it for a couple years and really like it. Simple and reliable.
Wow.

That's all.

Home Brew Wednesdays? Great idea.

I live in Utah. A relative beer desert. You can't get a pint of beer that's more than 3.2%. Any beers over that level have to be purchased from the State liquor store, in bottles that or no larger than 32 ounces. You cannot purchase kegs. Stupid, belive me, I know.

Anyway, I started brewing back around the first of the year because I wanted real beer on tap, even if I had to do it myself. A friend help be build a keezer (coverted chest freezer) and I haven't looked back. 

Mostly I've been brewing using the ale extract kits from Nothern Brewer. I feel their kits include higher quality ingredient than I get locally. Also, if you get on their mailing list, you'll be alerted each time they have a sale, which is pretty frequently.

I use an 8 gallons kettle and a Camp Chef stove to brew out on my patio. I use 6 gallon glass carboys for primary and 5 gallon glass carboys for secondary. So far, so good. 

While I'm sure you can make better beer with the all grain method, those of you starting out should try extract brewing first to see if it's your jam. You may be suprised at the quality of beer that can be produced from extract given proper sanitation and patience. 

I'll post some pics later.

Thanks to OP for starting this thread. I hope it takes off!

ATH-M50X

This.

I bought a pair of ATH-M50X to replace a pair of similarly priced Skullcandy headphones and there is NO comparison. The ATH-50Xs sound amazing and are very comfortable. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Probably not great for cardio, but would be fine for lifting, etc.

Forced out?

Why would someone do that? I'm glad he's back where he belongs.

Homebrewed Black IPA I was leary about brewing it. I'm a convert.
At-the-rim

Caris leading the team in at-the-rim attempts is unbelievably depressing.
