Did you miss the poke emoji?

I've lived all over the country and visited 30+ countries. With exception of New Jersey, I have seen good and bad in all those places.

Prefer a 180…

Much of the whole premise of the previous years record is going to fizzle over time, to some extent, with the portal and NIL, just ask Prime.

They play at Cal Memorial Stadium, 63k capacity. That would be a major deal if their starter is out, which I've heard nothing about... Edit: Definitely not sold out yet, you can buy groups of up to 9 tickets together on StubHub.

As I understand it, it's not always the actual coaches that vote in the poll, sooo... I mean, when can they even watch all those games?

In the thread where the NIP was called...

Whatever it takes to make Costco trips quicker.

YAY!!!

Oh trust me, it's queued up.

@DaddyBoyAU Good to see you swing by and start your annual thread.

Agree with it or not it’s still a schedule 1 drug federally. Back in the day I thought that was stupid, but the array and strength the of products out there now is totally different. If you’re using the stronger products, well, I wouldn’t feel sorry for you if you got sat a game.

Great post Stat, great to see you around, sir.

Lordy, can we get threads off track any worse than this? No one, and I mean NO ONE, not one of our MODs will be wasting time cleaning this thread up. For the purposes of sanity. Locked

Assault Rifles -> Made up term WRT to the commercially available AR15, now if it was a select fire(full auto/burst like an M4), then we "might" have something to discuss. Seems the ignorance of latching onto "AR" as an acronym for assault rifle, just won't go away. Battle Rifle -> Where does one even start, see above. The devastating 5.56 round designed and "created with the intent to injure"-> While certainly true, to an extent, when Eugene Stoner developed the original Armalite rifle it was NOT a 5.56 NATO weapon, that came later, it was originally chambered in .223 Remington. Let's not kid ourselves, this is essentially a 22 caliber bullet that travels twice as fast. Most of the concept for the rifles development was centered around a smaller round, lighter ammo load out, and thus more rounds could be brought onto the battlefield with less fatigue to the soldier. It should be noted that the round the .223/5.56(~1300 ft. lbs) replaced, the 30-06(M1 rifle~3000 ft. lbs) and to some extent the 308/7.62x51(M14~2600 ft. lbs), have DOUBLE the muzzle energy. I'm sorry, the premise of the originally linked article, is to me, laughable. There are around 22 states that either don't allow, or only allow with restrictions, the .223/5.56 round to be used for hunting. It is in fact that generally inefficient, for hunting purposes. Generally, LEO's do what they're trained to do/not do. Whether the officers in this case screwed the pooch by not immediately engaging the shooter, supposedly the standard rules of engagement since Columbine, well...

Mkay. I'm not even going to say if it was me or another mod/admin that locked this thread. But, what I want everyone to know, and I do mean everyone, is that the moderators on this site are an all voluntary group, WE ARE A TEAM. If you feel somehow wronged here, take it to PM. No passive aggressive posting alluding to any damn thing, and no individual attacks should ever be necessary or tolerated, please be civil. We're all AU fans here so believe it or not it's OUR teams(pick a sport), if you need a refresher course, read the board rules and for Gods sake take them to heart. Thank you, and carry on. THE END.

Solid RB's, with a middling OL, isn't what I would call a recipe for success... I remain hopeful, but not overly optimistic.
