2023 Bowl Games Thread
Gotta think games like this come down to the tone set by the coaches. So many times you see teams come out completely lifeless and other teams come out playing the game means something to them.

2023 Peach Bowl - Ole Miss vs. Penn State
They also have their 3 best defensive players opting out. A top 5 pass rusher nationally and both starting CBs. And now their 4th best defender left the game But also they haven’t seen a play caller of this caliber. The two losses osu and um called a super safe vanilla game because they knew psu couldn’t score enough to win.

2022-23 PGA Tour season
I don’t disagree with any of that. And really, with pretty much every guy you can see why they went to LIV. the amounts of money that were being thrown at them just made it make too much sense. None of them were going for competition, or shotgun starts, or team golf. Just money, so I appreciated the guys that just came out and said it, because we could all see it.

I’ve developed a fascination with hand marbled paper and went down a bookbinding rabbit hole, making a couple handmade journals for gifts. I just made this box with some hand marbled paper from Brazil. crepaldi.marbled.paper is his instagram. He posts some videos of how he makes the paper.

2022-23 PGA Tour season
I posted this in the Saudi tour thread, Pat Perez summed up the players sentiment about LIV: “I got paid, I don’t give a damn.” The only one that seems to genuinely care about it is Bryson. He seems to honestly think LIV is legitimately cool and that people actually care about how he and his team perform, which is completely unsurprising.

Saudi blood money combo tour discussion
This sucks. Everything about LIV is cringy. The product is garbage. The forced team aspect is stupid. The fake party atmosphere is dumb. They just have enough money that they can throw any amount of money that it’ll take to buy stars. The players don’t care that no one watches them anymore, they have half a billion dollars and all they have to do is show up. Pat Perez said it best about how serious these guys take the competition in LIV: “I got paid, I don’t give a damn.”

Hell if Elijah Robinson would have waited a bit he might have been able to grab the DC spot at Penn state instead of Syracuse

Official 2023 bitch about your family @ the Holidays thread
My wife is the middle of 3 sisters. I met my wife by being friends with the older sister in high school and college. In the 20+ years that I have been close to and then part of the family I have seen one or two of the sisters screaming at, and several times need to be physically restrained from attacking the other one(s) at least in the double digits, usually at holiday gatherings. Any two of them together are perfectly fine and enjoyable company. But for whatever reason when all 3 are together things become incredibly unstable. 80% of the time it’s the oldest and youngest going at it with my wife and MIL trying to diffuse. My 89 year old half senile GMIL isn’t talking to my MIL as of this past summer over my MIL’s lack of patience with my GMIL’s noncompliance with her medication after a hospital stay for pneumonia which lead to some sort of big argument. GMIL has since been diagnosed with a grapefruit sized tumor in her abdomen that the oncologist has told her would be fairly straightforward to remove, is likely benign, and that she’s plenty fit for surgery and then proceed to outline all of the things she’ll likely experience if she doesn’t have it removed and let’s it grow unfettered. Well GMIL flipped a coin and “god determined” that she isn’t going to have surgery. The sisters and MIL are now convinced that this will be GMIL’s last Xmas alive. So older SIL decided we need to get the whole family together for the holiday. Since MIL isn’t welcome in GMIL’s house, SIL booked an air bnb a block away. Everything is setting up for me to come roaring into this thread. I’m posting thunderdome gifs and stirring the pot in the group chat. SIL’s husband and I are separately discussing if it’s a good idea for us to feign an altercation between us to let some steam out of the pot of things start to go south. And then last week in an unbelievable turn of events, MIL’s piece of shit, alcoholic, barely employed, money grubbing brother enters the ring. This guy apparently used to be extremely successful but because of his ego, alcoholism, and misogyny, he lost everything and burned all of his bridges. Now he’s a cashier at Kroger, and is just trying to coast to social security and some inheritance from GMIL. Apparently he and MIL got into an argument over him leaving their aunts remains at the crematorium for over a year unpaid for because he spent the last of her money and the money GMIL gave him to pay for it. In a drunken stupor he somehow misconstrues her comments into her telling the sisters about his most recent DUI (5th or 6th). She hadn’t said anything to them about it. So he fires off a drunken text rant to the sisters trying to pit them against their mother. He leads off with “I guess your mother is insistent on stirring up drama for the holidays”. it goes predictably with them siding with their mother which then turns into him saying all sorts of horrible shit about each of them. All of this serves to galvanize the sisters in defense of their mother, and lead to GMIL and MIL somewhat resolving their differences so that now everyone is excited to see each other and have a god damn holly jolly Christmas visit. (Un)fortunately, the uncle lives 700 miles away so he won’t be able to physically enter the ring, so to speak.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
My wife is a classic example of intelligence not transferring from one domain to another. She does R&D chemistry. She’s published papers about quaternary diamond-like semiconductors. But the god damn reverse card in uno baffles her. Our 6 year old daughter has no problem keeping track of whose turn it is, but my wife gets confused by it regularly.

He was excellent at OSU, I was excited when PSU hired him, despite what most on this board thought of him. Has any OC at OSU under Gundy not looked excellent, tho? Part of the frustration with Yurcich this season was a failure to lean into the team’s strengths, namely RB, TE, OL, a complete lack of creativity in the passing game, and an extreme aversion to stretching the field vertically. Some of which stems from just not having the players at WR. a lot of the blame in the personnel problems at WR on Franklin. Some of the blame is on Cephas reportedly coming into the season out of shape and unable to learn the playbook. Part of the blame is on Allar for not being accurate enough on 10 yard passes to move the chains. The play calling seemed unimaginative and predictable, especially in big games. The problems on offense definitely stretch beyond Yurcich’s coordination but it just felt like he knew that in 10 of 12 games he had the talent to just lean on the other team with a vanilla playbook and his defense would get the ball back enough that the other teams would wear down. And then they approached OSU and UM the same way. It just felt like a very scared, risk-averse offense. And there’s a good chance that philosophy came the whole way from Franklin, but it clearly fed all the way down to how Allar looked and played all season until after he was fired. There were so many problems with the offense this season and he was only one of the problems, but Franklin’s not going to fire himself. I expect Yurcich could have had long term success at Penn state and I’m sure he will at his next stop. I think he was by a pretty wide margin.
