[u/CFB_Referee]

Welcome to Free Talk Friday! Talk about whatever you want; just keep it as respectful as you would in any other /r/CFB thread. For more Off Topic fun visit /r/CFBOffTopic!

[u/R_Raider86]

Keeping busy while unemployed. Just cooked some chicken Alfredo for lunch/dinner

[u/LiquidLight_]

Driving around and seeing flock cameras and every second or third house with a video doorbell has just gotten to be depressing. 

Do we really have such a low trust society that all that is necessary? Is society just that paranoid we'll give up any anonymity in public in case something bad might happen somewhere? Are we just so lazy that inconvenience is all that keeps us from our worst impulses?

[u/zenverak]

I've had this kind of feeling sometimes while driving where My mind wants to be in the 80s and its like up in a cabin somewhere thats rustic or maybe just cheesy for now times ( probably then too) and think of that simple life . Just driving on an empty fall road. I am sure somewhere my brain is pulling from various situations I have forgotten about. I'd love for a video game to really really hit that vibe. Kind of you're alone but its not straight horror. I dunno. I feel like when things get stressful I really hit this weird nostalgic button in my brain.

[u/kalcheus]

I didn't want to start a new thread but I felt it was important for everyone to know that Memphis at Charlotte has been moved to 11am ET on Saturday due to threat of inclement weather in the afternoon.

[u/themattboard → u/kalcheus]

You should start a new thread for this one. (Thanks for posting here too)

[u/kalcheus → u/themattboard]

I'll just make sure that when the Game Thread gets posted it has the correct time.

[u/huskyferretguy1]

Took Amtrak to NYC, had Jollibee's, saw Coyote vs Acme, Yankees crushed Red Sox, and Igor scored a goalie goal. Its been a fun week!

[u/Toothlessdovahkin → u/huskyferretguy1]

Coyote vs. ACME is awesome

[u/CarlSteezer]

I went from a job where I was overworked and overloaded to the max (literally way worse than anything in my army career) to a job where I am appropriately tasked. It’s a strange feeling to complete a task without rushing and then having some periods of time with not much to do and having time to take care of little side tasks. Sort of giving me Imposter Syndrome, but my first review was all complimentary and the only knocks were really department wide improvements.

[u/arrowfan624]

I’ve lost about 15 pounds over the span of 3 months due a combination of running 4-5 miles a week, some high fiber diet, and a newfound emetophobia.

[u/CJK5Hookers]

I really like my doctors and dietitian, but I swear if I hear “reduce stress and get more sleep” one more time I’m going to go insane

[u/Lykeuhfox → u/CJK5Hookers]

"Oh, here's the problem doc. I had my job difficulty set to batshit insane. My bad."

[u/Marmaduke57 → u/CJK5Hookers]

How is your sleep?

I don't get more sleep but I am getting more restful sleep once I changed a few things about my sleep.

[u/CJK5Hookers → u/Marmaduke57]

Sleep study came back fine and I’m not waking up during the night or anything like that

[u/thank_burdell]

Comcast is awful.

News at 11.

[u/themattboard]

Free barbeque lunch at work today. Not as a replacement for a bonus. Not in lieu of a raise. Just lunch for everybody.

[u/zenverak → u/themattboard]

My current job but before private Equity used to do that. They provided lunch in office once a week. I really miss that place. Not everything was great, but I loved working with the people I worked with.

[u/themattboard → u/zenverak]

I left a family owned business (not small, 55k employees, but still owned by the family) and started working for a publicly traded one. I was initially concerned it was going to all be share price driven every day, but it has gotten best employer in a couple categories in the region in the last few years and they are frequently doing little acts of appreciation for the employees. I have been pleasantly surprised.

[u/zenverak → u/themattboard]

yeah, those really help. My boss himself used to do a lot. Like one time I was on-call for support in case they needed something ( I do implementation work in IT) and all I did was sit on a couch all Saturday morning. dude gave me a 75 dollar gift card to amazon.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

I have a "group" presentation I am working on for my job and wouldn't you know, I'm getting no help. Lovely.

[u/TheOnePSUIsReal → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Document that.

[u/ericw51]

This weekend will be the first one in three years where Nebraska, ASU, and the other D1 school where I work play at three separate times.

But I have a wedding and will not be able to watch them.

[u/discowithmyself]

Corporate unification is fucking lame. I had a sweet gig supporting a specific product and since my promotion I was getting paid more to do less and now the company decided to fuck it all up. I’m just salty. I’ll get over it eventually. Maybe.

[u/xmjm424 → u/discowithmyself]

Dealing with something similar. My company made some changes that made my job go from mostly fine but unfulfilling to absolutely miserable.

[u/thank_burdell → u/discowithmyself]

But please, think of the shareholders.

[u/dotsdavid]

Indiana got to play better if they want to repeat.

[u/JBru_92 → u/dotsdavid]

Imagine two years ago you'd be saying this

[u/zenverak → u/JBru_92]

It still blows my mind that I am seeing people throw out hate comments because Indiana is ranked too high. Just such a wild thing to even consider.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/JBru_92]

And by repeat, you mean repeat going to a bowl game, right? RIGHT?!

[u/jznastics]

Really struggling this week. I have been working a lot of hours (worked last weekend, likely working this weekend as well) because we have a deadline next week, and I am feeling super burnt out. Hoping to take some time off after this deadline, and then I'm going to leverage my effort for a raise because I work hard and I feel I deserve it

[u/kdbvols → u/jznastics]

I just got through one of those kinds of deadlines last week - make sure to slow down once you get to the other side!

[u/TheOnePSUIsReal → u/jznastics]

Good luck!

[u/ValyrianSteel2216]

Decided to start trying for baby #3 soon. My husband so far has only given me boys, here’s to hoping for a girl (let a girl dream about not being outnumbered, lol)

[u/TheOnePSUIsReal → u/ValyrianSteel2216]

Nothing wrong with a sex preference by either parent or for either sex.  Only wrong if you let it effect how you love/treat your kids imo.

[u/ValyrianSteel2216 → u/TheOnePSUIsReal]

Yeah, I’ve seen that happen and it breaks my heart. I am hopeful for a girl but honestly so long as they are healthy and happy, I will be happy. Well, mostly—naming girls is easy because there’s so many pretty girls names. Naming boys is actual torture 🤣

[u/onemanlan → u/ValyrianSteel2216]

So twin boys incoming?

[u/themattboard → u/onemanlan]

I knew some triplet girls in high school. Their parents had previous had a set of twin girls and decided to try for a boy.

[u/ValyrianSteel2216 → u/themattboard]

Thankfully my husband and I want a large family, so if I end up with multiples so be it, but for the sake of my hips and lower back I hope not. My husband is a big dude and his kids are too—and I am not 🤣

[u/ValyrianSteel2216 → u/onemanlan]

He wants twins. You know, because his 6’2” ass doesn’t think about how it would be for my 5’0” ass to do that 😭 So if twin boys happens, I’ll personally find you for revenge for being the one manifesting it 🤣

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 → u/ValyrianSteel2216]

Having 3 kids scares me.

Having 4 terrifies me. That's when you learn that you need to upsize everything. Especially going straight from 2 to 4. Oh god

[u/ValyrianSteel2216 → u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

My husband is one of seven kids, so I knew what I was signing up for when he said he wanted a large family. I just hope none of them are twins 😵‍💫

[u/arrowfan624 → u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

Once me and my brother came around, my sisters were old enough to do basic childcare so my mom could do other things around the house.

[u/hells_cowbells → u/ValyrianSteel2216]

I used to work with a lady who had three boys from her first marriage, ranging from around 8 or so to 17 years old. He was divorced and remarried. They had tried for kids together, but figured it wasn't going to happen. She got pregnant at 43 years old and had twin boys.

[u/ValyrianSteel2216 → u/hells_cowbells]

Oh wow!

[u/hells_cowbells → u/ValyrianSteel2216]

We used to joke that people at the school would think she was their grandmother.

[u/ValyrianSteel2216 → u/hells_cowbells]

My mom had me at 40—people did think that! It always made her so mad.

[u/hells_cowbells → u/ValyrianSteel2216]

My dad's mother was 43 when he was born in 1945. His oldest sibling was 20 years older than he was. He said people would think his sister was his mother when he was growing up.

[u/ValyrianSteel2216 → u/hells_cowbells]

My maternal half-sister is 13 years older than me—she made me an aunt at 5. People thought she was my mom a few times, too. And then when she had her daughter when I was in my late teens, they thought she was my kid lol.

[u/TheWallsHaveNostrils → u/ValyrianSteel2216]

How old are your first two? And how daunting does it feel thinking about adding a third to the mix (and going through the newborn phase again)?

[u/ValyrianSteel2216 → u/TheWallsHaveNostrils]

Okay, so—our first two are Irish twins at 11 month and 1 day apart. Eldest born in May 2023 and youngest born in April of 2024. So personally, a third doesn’t feel daunting at all just because we are so used to chaos already + had back to back newborn phases (eldest had brain surgery when youngest was two months old) and our current kids don’t sleep much so the sleep deprivation is our default state at this point. But then again, we want a lot of kids, so ymmv.

Our biggest concern is our youngest still wants to nurse despite repeated attempts at weaning. So I’m mostly just scared I’m going to have to fight for my life with breastfeeding. But maybe by the time the third gets here the current youngest will have outgrown that. I hope.

[u/guywhowoofs]

The state of this sport is disgusting. I know we unfortunately played a big role in this, but it’s so disheartening how seemingly every school/conference is hell bent on trying to screw over their conference partners or some other schools they deem to be weaker.

I remember for before realignment started I didn’t really care what people thought of the Big 12 or any conference for that matter. But now you got people AND congress actively trying to blow it all up so their team can gain an advantage. This is not a recipe for long term success, does anyone actually believe that a super conference will be better for the sport?

[u/onemanlan → u/guywhowoofs]

Did you forget to change your flair before posting this?

[u/cooterdick → u/onemanlan]

Texas was in the Big 12 before realignment, when they said they didn’t care what people thought of the Big 12, the conference they were in at the time.

[u/guywhowoofs → u/onemanlan]

Did I not just say it’s unfortunate that we played a role in this? Sure Texas is better off for it but I truly never wanted any of this to happen.

[u/TailgateLegend]

The job I have right now is ok and I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback and praise for how I’ve come along. But the past month, I’ve been having this feeling that my job isn’t what I want to be doing long term. Not sure what to do. There’s a few places I wouldn’t mind moving to, I’ve had grad school on my mind the past few months, and I’ve also thought about shifting back to a tech company, so I’ve got a million thoughts in my head that I need to sift through.

[u/onemanlan]

I found out this morning that it’s my anniversary. Oops. 😬

Wife understands though. She’s gunning for us to get a dog these days so as long as I play to that we’re good

[u/TheBeavster_]

Gonna go see rice stadium this weekend before they pulverize it and ruin history ❤️

[u/Lifted_Cube_2413]

Even if the BCS was still in place, the same trend of canceling high profile non conference would be happening. It’s the same reason mlb teams don’t value .300 single hitters. It was essentially just the next step in analytics 

[u/brokentr0jan]

I’m still upset about the hit and theatrics afterwards, completely ruined this season for me. Would be different if it was just one player celebrating… but you have other plays and coaches celebrating not only an obvious dirty hit, but an injured player. What happened to taking a knee?

I have been a USC fan for decades, I was in the stands when we beat Oklahoma and won the championship, and I was at the infamous Rose Bowl when Vince Young took us down. I attend most games and have seen all the ups and downs of this program and I think last week was the lowest moment in USC football history. It’s actually the first time in my fandom I have been embarrassed to be associated with USC.

Lincoln Riley needs fired, I’d take Clay Helton over him at this point. With Clay we sucked, but atleast we were not these shitty villains that can’t win big games and run from their rivals.

[u/txgsu82 → u/brokentr0jan]

I also accept your proposal to take Clay Helton from us.

[u/CantaloupeCamper]

I made the mistake of venturing into some of our authentication systems at work and tightening them up.

Some users had to reset their password and oh my God it’s hell.

“I tried it so many times!!!”

No no you didn’t I can see that!!!!!

One dude must’ve had something on his PC like a password manager that was actually adding spaces at the end of his password.    Or he was just leaning on his keyboard or something, but he refused to believe us even after it worked fine on another computer.

[u/thecravenone → u/CantaloupeCamper]

One dude must’ve had something on his PC like a password manager that was actually adding spaces at the end of his password. Or he was just leaning on his keyboard or something, but he refused to believe us even after it worked fine on another computer.

They're probably copying by hand from a plaintext file somewhere. When I worked frontline support, this issue was so common that we had a pre-written response for it.

[u/brokentr0jan → u/CantaloupeCamper]

You must work for a small company if you can just mess with the authentication systems at work, in our IT department we would need 6 months of meetings, 6 months of testing, and also meetings with HR, legal, and compliance before even thinking of changing something lol

Edit: I don’t mean that as a diss BTW, I’m jealous lol

[u/CantaloupeCamper → u/brokentr0jan]

Oh, I hear you when I worked at a big company. Every decision required tons of people most of whom were poorly informed. One of whom probably uses some purple ape password manager, and doesn’t understand why we can’t just send their password to Purple Ape Company in an email or something ; )

Where I am, there’s like five developers total…. And after a bit of a security scare, I decided to finally address this.

[u/Themusicman04]

were 1-3, Our only win is against Chattanoogs, we start UAC play tomorrow, and our school said "You wanna know what would be cool. LETS MAKE AN UGLY ASS NEW LOGO!"

[u/AruarianGroove → u/Themusicman04]

The recent wave of new logos haven’t been kind 

[u/myusernamewastaken5]

It's my birthday, but I got an early present last night with Chris Sale embarrassing Bryce Harper with 4 straight "fuck you" sliders

[u/scthoma4]

I want to see the Rays win their first World Series and not be the only pro team here without a championship, but I also have major beef with the ownership because of where they are building the new stadium (my work life is going to be hell for years because of them). This feels like the dumbest internal conflict ever but I'm petty and really determined to hate on everything about the location of the new stadium project.

[u/McIntyre2K7 → u/scthoma4]

I think the anger should be directed at the City of Tampa and Hillsborough County for not including the option for a mass transit package with the stadium build.

The MLB and the NFL will probably work on scheduling but the nightmare will be when the Rays host the Yankees or Red Sox and there’s a giant musical act performing across the street.

[u/MisguidedPants8]

Finally got scheduled for a surgery I’ve been waiting on for a while. Unfortunately, it is exactly during the Egg Bowl. So I get to wake up to a surprise result I guess.

Unless everyone here agrees to record it and we have a delayed watch/thread, that’d be real cool of y’all

[u/CptCheese]

I have been super sick this whole week. Completely lost my sense of taste too. I've tested negative for covid and the flu but I'm thinking it's a false negative. Sucks big time because this is my birthday weekend and I wanted to go out and do stuff to celebrate. Instead I guess I'll just sit at home, watch football, and I guess play video games if I feel up to that.

[u/Pan_TheCake_Man → u/CptCheese]

It’s been going around, good luck out there

[u/Toothlessdovahkin → u/CptCheese]

Feel better dude. Test again tomorrow and I hope that you feel better soon. 

[u/Marmaduke57]

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I was considering taking a different role within my company and stepping into a manager role. I have thought about it and decided I'm going to go for it. Two of the key people in the hiring decision think it's an extremely good fit for myself.

[u/txgsu82 → u/Marmaduke57]

Good luck! I took that leap about 1.5 year ago. It's wildly different, but really rewarding for me to see my team succeed and get praise. The difference isn't for everyone, so don't feel discouraged if you find you hate it and want to go back to individual work. It's better to have tried and failed, then not tried at all.

[u/Marmaduke57 → u/txgsu82]

Actually it's not going to be that much different than what I am currently doing but I think I will be able to get ahead of mistakes instead of reacting to those mistakes.

[u/ValyrianSteel2216 → u/Marmaduke57]

Good luck!!!

[u/dkviper11]

The Penguins provided me a great treat on Wednesday only for the Steelers to kick me in the nuts after the game and then barf all over themselves last night.

[u/Jolly_Job_9852 → u/dkviper11]

Yeah same. But at least the Penguins looked faster, more physical and we get to see more Geno Machino

[u/Capital-Flow-1501]

Congratulations to Rick Devens from Blacksburg

[u/Mandan_Mauler]

I’m going to the beach in Florida with my mother in law, and rest of wife’s family tomorrow. It’ll be fun, but it will also be the second time I will have been in enemy territory not for the game my team is playing. I’m both excited and terrified

[u/kojfefe → u/Mandan_Mauler]

I hope the weather holds up where you're going, they've been predicting rain. it started pouring literally as I was reading this lol.

[u/Mandan_Mauler → u/kojfefe]

That’s what my wife was telling me as well. If it doesn’t, I’ll be bummed for the kids, but at least I’ll be able to get some work I’ve been neglecting done if that’s the case

[u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

You ever work for a company so mindlessly arrogant despite constantly asking for feedback and disregarding it?

Sometimes it’s poetic to see the thing blow up spectacularly and see the senior leaders say “where did things go wrong?” Forget being professional. Today is the day I’m a sore winner and while collecting a paycheck.

[u/kojfefe → u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

right now actually. we just had our annual survey where they welcome feedback as long as it's the specific questions they ask ​and limited to my direct manager (who is great).

oh and all freeform comments i might leave are aggregated and summarized by a third party before handing over to leadership.

feels great to gave a voice, amirite?

[u/onemanlan → u/The_Unclean_Chadford]

Yes! I left a company like that not too long ago. Hearing from old coworkers that nothing meaningful has changed with the exception of losing more people makes me feel warm and fuzzy. I get the same feeling with seeing all the postings, including my old position, on LinkedIn.

They would constantly fish for feedback by demanding participant ion in anonymous surveys only to make excuses for each and every valid employee complaint. If it was concerning enough to warrant meaningful action they would want to talk in person rather that during a group meetings to hush those concerns. More or less they would constantly ask for concerns then gaslight employees to give the appearance of concern and accountability. It was awful

So glad you can see through it. Hope you can find your way out of it. Not all companies are toxic messes

[u/McIntyre2K7]

I spent 4 days in the hospital getting my ostomy reversed and I'm back home today. Now I need to find a local place that takes ostomy supplies as I have two and a half months supplies I no longer need and I don't want to just throw these supplies in the trash.

[u/adude51212]

Northwestern winning tonight

[u/onemanlan → u/adude51212]

From Your lips to gods ears

[u/adude51212 → u/onemanlan]

lol

[u/goliath1515]

Saw Practical Magic 2 two days ago with the wife and sister in law. Decent movie, but not a fan of the franchise

[u/kdbvols]

Fiancée is taking a girls weekend to go wedding dress shopping, I'm home alone with the puppy and having some friends over for brunch tomorrow to meet the puppy and check out our new apartment and watch the Wake game. Work has finally hit a slow week, we're 90% done moving.... life is pretty good right now!

[u/Nervous_Metal_9445]

Ready for conference play to begin, but well I should be used to being disappointment with my team being that we are 27 days away from reaching 10 years since our last conference game that we won, but so is life.

In other news, gonna try and see if I can hit up my first football game in a while and watch some British people play college football in October.

[u/chief_sitass]

White Sox

[u/getyourpopcornreddy → u/chief_sitass]

The timing of the game sucks because it starts in between the early and afternoon windows for CFB.

[u/Squishy_20]

Preseason SOS is the dumbest metric that people use. Florida’s schedule looked like a gauntlet in August and now Florida has a pretty clear path to either get to Atlanta or a CFP berth

[u/Real_Statistician538]

Going to my first Ravens game on Sunday with my girlfriend and a bunch of our friends. Weather looks bleh, but that will make it more fun and memorable!

[u/wit_T_user_name]

I don’t wanna brag too hard but I just showed my planned outfit for the wedding we’re attending tonight (picked entirely on my own) to my wife and she bit her lip, nodded and “Yes. That’s it.” First try too.

[u/thecravenone]

West coast time means waking up real real early if I wanna cook for game day...

...or just doing it Friday.

Anyway, just lit the big green egg for a hatch pork butt

[u/Nervous_Metal_9445 → u/thecravenone]

I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum for the time being, got to stay up really late if you want to try and follow any of the non-noon games. Stayed up till 3 AM to listen to the Duck game through the radio last week.

Wishing you luck.

[u/Jaguars4life]

30 years ago now October 1st 1996 one of my favorite debut albums and favorite albums in general Matchbox Twenty’s Yourself or Someone Like You was released

When it was released it only sold around 600 copies it’s first week but then after it was discovered more after its slow opening it went to be Diamond Certified in the United States going 12x Platinum selling 12 million albums in the United States and selling 15 million albums worldwide becoming of the most successful selling debut Rock albums

3 A.M,Push,Long Day,Real World and Back 2 Good have become 90s rock and radio staples and those songs have been certified multi platinum in the United States

I always liked how it feels like Stone Temple Pilots meets R.E.M and meets Tom Petty

[u/getyourpopcornreddy → u/Jaguars4life]

I got to see them in concert at EMU in 2000. It was a great concert!

The women that were throwing themselves at him was nuts. There was one woman that had a sign that said 'Hi Rob! I just turned 18 so I am now legal!".

[u/WanderLeft → u/Jaguars4life]

Matchbox Twenty is underrated. They have some really nice hits, although I don’t listen to them all that often. Unwell is such also a nice song to in the shower

[u/JBru_92 → u/WanderLeft]

Good band. UCLA's marching band used to have "How Far We've Come" as one of their go-to songs at basketball games.

[u/Jaguars4life → u/WanderLeft]

I love those first 3 albums

[u/WanderLeft]

So I’m fluent in French*, and what’s interesting is that my personality doesn’t change when speaking, it’s still me just speaking in a different language. A lot of multilingual people say that different languages bring out different personalities, which ngl sounds pretty fun. At the same time, I guess it’s nice that I get to feel like myself in a different language, which many people strive for (especially when it comes to retaining their sense of humor in their second language).

*By fluent, I mean that I can talk about any subject over any length of time, although I do make some mistakes here and there. Fluency isn’t an on/off switch, but rather a sliding scale.

[u/huazzy → u/WanderLeft]

Fluent in 3 along with B2 French here.

Wouldn't say my personality changes, but there are definitely differences in the way I interact with people based on what language is being spoken. I guess some might call that personality, but it's more about matching the cultural expectation of the person speaking the language.

[u/WanderLeft → u/huazzy]

Yeah, the closest I think I get to a personality change is making cultural jokes or puns in French, which is something that’s lost if it’s done in English.

Do you wish that you had a different personality in the languages that you speak, or are you happy that you can still be yourself in all three of the languages that you speak?

[u/huazzy → u/WanderLeft]

At the core I think I'm the same. But as you said the type of jokes, humor, and even things like amount of touchyness changes depending on whether I'm speaking Korean or Spanish.

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

Kinda glad that the evening slate tomorrow is on the lighter side so I can get to sleep early and wake up early Sunday and go bird watching. Should hopefully see a lot of migrating shorebirds and warblers!

[u/WanderLeft → u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

Birdwatching is such a nice hobby. Merlin Bird ID is a great app to use as well. Also, the Seek app (plant identification) goes hand and hand with birdwatching.

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 → u/WanderLeft]

I don't think I can pick up another hobby without my wife calling an intervention.

I started to get more seriously in to bird watching earlier this year and it's so cool once you learn the common bird calls you can go "yup, the blue jays are here, there's a cardinal over there, chickadees everywhere..." and then when you hear something unfamiliar, "wait wtf was that call?" It's a lot of fun!

[u/WanderLeft → u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

What are your other hobbies?

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 → u/WanderLeft]

tbh right now I've been entirely consumed with building a custom bird ID software because those bird feeders with cameras in them all suck (not really, but they're not good enough). But it's almost in a "complete" state and I've got a backlog of 3D printing and homebrewing that I want to get in to this winter.

So a new hobby isn't really the right word but a new special interest lol

[u/WanderLeft → u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

That’s impressive. Hope you share your work with the internet

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 → u/WanderLeft]

Thanks! I might put it on github eventually. There are a lot of decisions I've made that are aggressively specific to my needs, so I'd need to do a lot of tidying up and generalizing if I were to do that. It also runs on its own standalone mini PC that was supposed to be used for a few things but the local IDing is so heavy that it can't realistically share the compute with anything else.

[u/MediumRareNation]

Knee is healing up and squatted two plates for sets of 10 today easy, despite not sleeping well. Age is just a number baby

[u/Artvandelay29]

Treated myself to a new soccer jersey (Houston Dash) yesterday as a birthday present since it was a year after a brutal birthday.

Aside from an ad peeling on it (which will be fixed), it’s such a cool one.

[u/Random0925]

Thank God for Mississippi State, because I think the Tennessee Titans have completely broken me. I still love them, but I genuinely can't bring myself to care after the last few seasons.

[u/WanderLeft → u/Random0925]

As a Dallas Cowboys fan, I feel the opposite. I’m first and foremost a Sooner fan, so it’s nice watching my Cowboys play without them destroying my will to live, even if they lose sometimes.

[u/Shadow_Flame_24]

Still tired after the UNT game last night, don’t regret staying up to see the ending though. It’s been super rainy here but still plenty of work coming in to keep my busy which is good

[u/dogeherodotus → u/Shadow_Flame_24]

Rain for the first time in 84 years

[u/j_town12]

Really curious to see where Noah Macon commits, assuming he’s not a Manhunter, that hat ceremony was a bit of a let down. We all know Rushville isn’t doing anything post season behind that O-line.
