I started doing it during the 2007-2008 football season. RU had their bowl after Jan 1st that year. I called it Bowl-to-Bowl. Rutgers Bowl to the Super Bowl. I’ve done it every year since.

At first, it wasn’t even a healthy thing. During FB season, I would hit it pretty hard. For me, it was more like - am I still in control? Lol. Plus, I eat a lot of crap between TDay and Xmas. So, just for fun, early on I also added no sweets/desserts. First few weeks back then were ROUGH, haha. Now, I don’t drink as much, but I still eat way too much junk before NYD. So, I really look forward to it.

Now THAT’S more in line with what a lot of people SHOULD do. Instead of giving up booze for a month ‘just because’ more it’s shedding the inevitable 10 lbs that I gain every year between thanksgiving and Christmas that come January I need to diet🤣

Between holidays with family, my neighbor that likes to come over for some beers, sporting events, and work outings. it’s hard to completely give up drinking.

I’d say an average I have a couple of drinks per week, but there could be three weeks when I don’t have anything and then one week or I drink three or four times with probably a combined 20 to 30 beers due to the aforementioned commitments

Never got into the whole drink wine with dinner phenomenon or have a beer or two after work, just wasn’t my thing and going to bars typically isn’t my jam either

Hopefully, in the next few years when we move down south, it will just be relegated to sporting events (and less frequent, as Naples is exactly a sports Mecca) and occasional work outings (the guys up here in my industry really like to drink, whereas the rumor has the guys down south aren’t too keen on it)

There were several awful calls.

I'd say many awful calls and missed calls. But the T stood out based on the play and the point in the game at which it was called. And Destiny's 5th foul to boot.

Could explain his difficult recovery from the flu. Asthma doesn't place you at greater risk of getting the flu, but it does increase your risk of flu complications (incl. hospitalization).

I see it in the Parcell's way - "you are what your record says you are" and Flood was the OL coach/recruiter for one of the worst lines in D1 (set sacks allowed record). I cant say 2010 was all his fault because I know GS was always sort of cavalier about OL recruiting. He would have to move guys from DL to OL a few times because the OL was lean. Guys like Zuttah and Sosa had the ability to make a lot of coaches look good - like Rice and McCourtys,

The longer I watch RU the more I think RU just got lucky with some recruits in 05-07. Any other season make GS look like a "Coach of the Year" from 06? GS uses 5 year plans to aim for middling team status. "We'll get there" means "We'll get lucky with players again some day."

The big picture here is that Kyle Flood has a vast assortment of experience as an OL position coach spanning across 6 different programs dating back to 1995. Your own Parcell’s analogy says he’s done a pretty darn good job on average. And there’s a large data set.

It’s a ridiculous notion to suggest all of that was luck outside of the one bad season a team he coached OL for had. That one season is the real thing and everything else he’s ever done in that role - just luck. Ok sure. Again - at least be objective and consistent.

It's been around since 2012 by a woman in England who was training for a half marathon. By the next January it grew to 4000 of registered people and has grown dramatically since worldwide.
Funny that anyone hasn't heard of it especially since the pandemic.

I would say losing Toure was a catastrophic blow, especially when you see how well he played against Miami. This was compounded by Powell’s injury, as he seemed to be hindered significantly, and never was 100%. Hetherman was lucky that be was coaching two all conference caliber LBs.

In their stead #4, #28, and #2 struggled mightily. This is where the biggest problems were. Would they have played better if Hetherman were here? Doug seems to think so, but I struggle with this, and am not sure.

Click to expand...

I don't think Hetherman gets those guys to play at the same level as Powell, Toure, or Jennings, but the level of play should have been better. The drop-off should never be that dramatic. The attention to detail is clearly a problem. How do you explain how the same play is snuffed out one year, and the following year, it is never addressed? Teams ran the same play with great success, which was inexcusable. Harasymiak was the DC, but sometimes you need a lieutenant to watch your back because you can be exposed. Hetherman did precisely that.

Most don't know on the freeboard that Schiano didn't try to stop Harasymiak from leaving. Harasymiak might not have been responsible for every problem, but clearly, he wasn't the answer.

Holy cr@p!!

So Dylan, two weeks ago the most dominant player in the B1G, not playing/severely diminished the last three games didn’t make a humongous difference in January? Can you read the English language? This is a realistic thread saying what could happen if Dylan gets healthy.

Simpson helped us more last year than Davis has this year or is that imaginations running wild?

Simpson actually won us games, Indiana, PSU, Maryland. Is that my imagination running wild?

Has Davis never won a game for us or am I imagining that?

Kinda difficult understanding your point or does it just shift with the hand.

Loathe me or love me, I’ve taken a stand.

Simpson was unjustifiably ripped last year
And as it turns out better than any guards other than Dylan that we have this year. Pike should have made it work. Wonder if kicking self with regrets?

Click to expand...

Where your imagination is running wild is where you think anyone is having this Simpson vs Davis argument except you.

Being better than Davis is not the bar!

ok, unfortunate. Didn’t know.

I don’t think Ace Bailey is “loaded” to the extent that hundreds of thousands of dollars don’t matter to him.

But yes without knowing details I can’t really make any argument. That’s why I said IF they ate up a lot of the resources.

We’re told they didn’t get any school-affiliated NIL. Therefore Shelby finds it hard to believe the incoming other players broke the bank. Instead, ISO (in Shelby’s opinion) Pike significantly overestimated the talent of all of them.

Am not sure what it means to his fitness but about 3-4 weeks ago before this supposed flu and he was playing well, I noticed Harper using an inhaler on the bench.

Haven’t been paying close attention re: the inhaler and don’t know what it may suggest, but it seems he had and maybe still has other respiratory issues besides the flu.

It's been mentioned before that he has asthma.

You add his production when healthy and this is a different team with different results. Dylan is aware of the hoopla regarding Flagg’s 42 point game, and will take it as a challenge. He will put this team on his back. Because of this I believe we will go on a winning run with him producing at pre-flu levels. F*ck all the negativity. Let’s get some wins with Dylan leading the way.

Obviously you don’t want to wrestle an injured wrestler, but that’s different from bumps, bruises and sniffles. If you don’t care where you seeded at nationals, than don’t wrestle. Sit out all the tougher matches and you’ll be stuck with a lot of bad seeds. As far as PSU. Every starter has wrestled every match this year except Davis when he got hurt against Crookham. So not sure why you implying they sitting starters?

Click to expand...

Not implying them sitting starters.. just saying they don’t attend many tough tournaments anymore or wrestle a heavy match schedule.. are u denying this? It’s the era of Load management many teams are wrestling fewer and fewer are u denying this as well? Anyways, don’t get butt hurt or triggered no one ducking or w.e just pointing out what direction the sports been heading.. it’s not right or wrong it just is what it is.
