Feels weird to me. People are too friendly, definitely not like Mass. Food kind of stinks , feel like Ray Liotta at the end of Goodfellas. My god the Chinese food here is an abomination, fried rice is yellow rice with peas and it goes down from there. Got a quote for a pool , 120-150k
. But my wife loves it…..

Nervous about Texas' trip to the Big House. Obviously UMich is a completely different team this year with no Harbaugh, no JJ, no Corum... but their defense will still fly around and Quinn Ewers just makes me nervous sometimes. UT's D should be able to stifle whatever offense UMich has, but I sense a small letdown after a solid Week 1 performance. Maybe I'm overthinking it. And, hate the 9am PT start. Wish it were an afternoon affair here on the Left Coast so I could go to a sports bar or something to kick back a couple cold ones. Drinking at 9am for me is just...

LOL. Moved my kid into his new place a month ago. 40 steps to the beach and walking distance to bars and restaurants. So Cal coastal weather. Gainfully employed and living with a couple buddies. Now entering the dating scene as a professional with a place at the beach. Close to hiking and biking trails. And snowboarding a short drive away. My 22 year old self couldn’t be more jealous if I tried.

He lives in Playa Del Rey now. And, yeah, Big Bear or Mammoth for snowboarding. Is Freaky Friday a real thing? Cause I’ll make a wish or pee in a fountain or whatever.

Oh and just down the road, he can catch home football games at his Alma Mater with a pretty good coach who once used to be at @Instinctive ’s Alma Mater.

1. It took me WAY too long to realize this meant OU, USC, and Lincoln Riley. My brain was like "David Shaw works for the Broncos now." I think perhaps "pretty good" threw me off
2. It is an AMAZING place to live for college and your early 20s - no kids, not enough income to experience the brutal income tax penalties, not enough desire for a house and yard to experience the brutal cost of a home, etc.
3. I'm not just speaking out of turn, I did live there for nearly 6 years, from 22-almost 28.
4. It is awesome to go skiing to beach to summer mountains, etc, all very easily, but it is absolutely brutal to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time. Again, all well and fine in your youth, but once you have a job or want to travel or all your friends don't live int he same building...yeah.
I could keep going about other things I have real beef with, but will instead note that basically nowhere in the U.S. is perfect, and I have no desire to live on the East Coast either, having lived in NYC and spent 4 days/week in DC for the better part of 4 years too. I'm definitely a "middle 80% of the country" kind of person.

Ha! That's awesome. We spent 4 nights in Big Bear this summer at my cousin's place. Holler if you or he ever needs an AbnB spot right by the mountain. Could probably get you the friends and family rate. So tranquil there.
Their matchup against Washington was cancelled when the PAC imploded. Yeah, the OOC schedule sucks. Last year, UGA’s OOC schedule was UT Martin, Ball State, UAB, and Georgia Tech. Michigan had East Carolina, UNLV, and Bowling Green. When you schedule games years in advance, **** happens.
I’m surprised tOSU and USC don’t play until 2026. They do play Grambling State in 2025, which is likely a much tougher defense.
Now that they are both in the Big
This is the same MI defense as years past. They're good, but not elite. I think Ewers and team will have no problem moving the ball on them. Might see Johnson with an interception, but overall I think Texas wins this by double digits. MI offense looks too one dimensional with the running game. Until they can find a QB that can throw the ball, they'll keep trying to pound it on the ground. Too bad their OL isn't the same as previous years.

Yeah, I'm happy we are busy most of the afternoon, so I have an excuse to miss this one. Ewers' inconsistency could keep this thing in doubt longer than it should, but Michigan's lack of offense has me chalking this up as an L pre-game.

Last year, yes that defense was elite. No doubt about it. But this isn't last year's defense. I'm not saying they're not good - I'm saying they're not elite like last year. I think that Texas offense is more than that defense can handle. I don't see a 51-6 blowout by the Longhorns, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a 31-13 score with Texas walking out of there with the W.This is the same MI defense as years past.

They had one of, if not the best defense in the country last year. The starters this year are equal, just don't have the crazy depth they had last year.
Thanks, but I'm good with $50. Gathering quotes for some significant house work, so the wife asked me to reset the gambling budget for football season. Per week budget is now $250, so 5U cap dropped to $50. Nice not having a vig with this one though.
I think you're over-selling last year's group. There were only three picks inside the top 100 - #'s 49, 50, and 69 (hey-o!). Not 100% but I believe all of the defenders lost to the portal were FR. There should not be a big dropoff on D, but this unit is more vulnerable if health breaks unfavorably.Last year, yes that defense was elite. No doubt about it. But this isn't last year's defense.

There should not be a big dropoff on D, but this unit is more vulnerable if health breaks unfavorably.Last year, yes that defense was elite. No doubt about it. But this isn't last year's defense. I'm not saying they're not good - I'm saying they're not elite like last year. I think that Texas offense is more than that defense can handle. I don't see a 51-6 blowout by the Longhorns, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a 31-13 score with Texas walking out of there with the W.This is the same MI defense as years past. They're good, but not elite. I think Ewers and team will have no problem moving the ball on them. Might see Johnson with an interception, but overall I think Texas wins this by double digits. MI offense looks too one dimensional with the running game. Until they can find a QB that can throw the ball, they'll keep trying to pound it on the ground. Too bad their OL isn't the same as previous years. It's pretty suspect too.Nervous about Texas' trip to the Big House. Obviously UMich is a completely different team this year with no Harbaugh, no JJ, no Corum... but their defense will still fly around and Quinn Ewers just makes me nervous sometimes. UT's D should be able to stifle whatever offense UMich has, but I sense a small letdown after a solid Week 1 performance. Maybe I'm overthinking it. And, hate the 9am PT start. Wish it were an afternoon affair here on the Left Coast so I could go to a sports bar or something to kick back a couple cold ones. Drinking at 9am for me is just...
They had one of, if not the best defense in the country last year. The starters this year are equal, just don't have the crazy depth they had last year.
You’re staying for the 5th quarter, right? They still do that?
UGA was supposed to play OU last year and I believe again this year, but realignment nixed that. I think quite a few planned matchups were abandoned, it's why the slate feels so crappy this weekend. I'm willing to give teams a pass for a few years. Ohio State always has at least one decent non-conference game, this year is more of an exception than the norm.
It was around 41 earlier.
Weird, I was literally just thinking about the 2016-17 Nebraska vs Tennessee football series being postponed because Tennessee took a game to play Va Tech at Bristol in 2016.
I got Michigan under 17.5, but had to pay a decent vig. Don't know what to expect out of Texas, so kept the bet to single team vs both.
