Waiting for all the "recruiting experts" to make their predictions on this one. You sense none are eager to step out on a limb yet and I'll take that to mean they have no clue. My belief is the experts rarely have a clue and that's why it is unbelievable anyone would pay for their insights.

History suggests once one or two experts make their prediction you will quickly see others climb on board with the same prediction. Still, others will wait until the moment just before announcement to make their prediction.

My favorite are the ones who do make an early prediction and just minutes before the announcement they realize, likely because of other predictions, that they they are on the wrong side. It's then time to make a quick unexplained switch to save face. Whatever professional insights and sources they had leading up to the announcement are tossed out the window as if they never were. Classic "recruiting expert" move.

Can't ever judge an "expert" on their wins.  Judge them on their losses.  Step 1: If they ever admit they have losses, that's a good start. 

Gave into peer pressure.  Dipping my toe into AMC.  Told myself I wasn't going near anything WSB, but that double bottom chart is too tempting. 

Any new weather/flatulence reports?

How do they account for this?

"American Airlines cancelled 63 flights Sunday, while United cancelled nine trips." 

United cancelled 9 flights in total, or directly related to the issue in question? If they cancelled 9 flights in total, I'd say that's probably within the bounds of a normal operating day.

What I do know is not one person in my group is willing to get another shot because they felt so badly after the first 2 doses.  So good luck getting people to take the booster shots.

This isn’t placing judgement on the Moderna vaccine, just my firsthand observation. My wife had the Moderna shots, I had the Pfizer. She’s an ACNP that is around immuno-compromised patients that have a whole host of conditions (including COVID) 3-4 days a week. You’d expect her to have the immune system of a tank. The Moderna shots knocked her off her feet for a good day or so both times. The Pfizer shots….made my shoulder feel like I pitched a complete game. Nothing Advil didn’t take care of.

Bought some Moonshine while in the Carolinas. 62.5% alcohol by content. 105 proof. Gonna sample next weekend when my son visits. Will let you know if I am comatose how it was

Is this true untaxed likker or the commercial “moonshine” aka unaged corn whiskey?

Yep, except you can do the "assembly" right on your plate. Those Indian's are pretty efficient. 

Red onion or white?

Slice an onion, squirt it down with Lemon juice. Eat.

I learned this while touring India for 3 weeks. After about an 8 hour car ride, we were heading into our stop for the night in Daman. Daman is a "dry" state so my guide thought he'd treat me with an Indian Snack food. Sliced Onion with lemon juice. 

It wasn't freakin booze, but I am actually sitting here right not munching on it. It's that yeng/ yang thang with a totally boring twist that I just can't seem to stop eating. Freakin punjabies!  

Kind of sounds like a similar principle to pickled onions.

The more I learn about Woodson the more I realize he should’ve been hired years ago. 

Maybe. Or maybe all those years he spent just built his network up that much more, so that he’s that much more effective now.

This is true....and to be fair when your scrolling down...you don't even bother to get to the bottom of the picture lol. To be fair her friend is no slouch either!

With….ummmm…..frontal appendages like that, I’m sure theyll both be slouching in a few years due to back pain. 

Can’t remember who specifically but I’m pretty sure one of the Cubs stole home in a playoff game in ‘16.

How many MLB teams won 17 games in a row during the season, but failed to win a single game in the post-season, despite having a future Hall of fame catcher?  .

Treading on thin ice….the 1935 Cubs were only two games short of this.

Pit all three in... play them on Defense. Idgaf.. just SCORE

Penix would make a decent ball-hawking safety, but if he could stay uninjured for more than a quarter doing that, I’d pay for 5fouls’ next divorce.

I have cousins that live in southern Illinois and have travelled the state since 1980 moving from Indiana to Iowa.  I have always said, Illinois is three states, Chicago, central Illinois is just like Iowa and southern Illinois is basically Kentucky.  The only good thing about Illinois, is they now have legalized weed.  

I’d argue the counties bordering the Wabash River are more akin to Indiana vs Kentucky (having lived in all 3), but yes, the “state of Chicago” is how it’s seen throughout the rest of the state. 
 

Some would say that there’s Chicago and then the rest of Illinois as a whole, but I can see the differentiation.

I think ND in a rout.  On a side note, I heard a story yesterday of how the term Bearcat became the mascot for UC. Here is the story I found it on Wiki so you know its 100% accurate.

 

The Bearcat became the UC mascot on October 31, 1914, in a football game against the UK Wildcats. The key players in the birth of the Bearcat were a star UC player named Baehr, a creative cheerleader, and a talented cartoonist. During the second half of that hard-fought football game, UC cheerleader Norman "Pat" Lyon, building on the efforts of fullback Leonard K. "Teddy" Baehr, created the chant: "They may be Wildcats, but we have a Baehr-cat on our side." The crowd took up the cry: "Come on, Baehr-cat!" Cincinnati prevailed, 14–7, and the victory was memorialized in a cartoon published on the front page of the student newspaper, the weekly University News, on November 3. The cartoon, by John "Paddy" Reece, depicted a bedraggled Kentucky Wildcat being chased by a creature labeled "Cincinnati Bear Cat".

 

Well that, and ManBearPig was copyrighted

We might need a 6-7 play wildcat formation.. maybe McCulley QBs that. Really dk.. but there's gotta be wholesale changes. Everything. We're awful offensively right now. 

Want a “wildcat” formation? Put Penix and Tuttle in the backfield on the same play. Sure, it’s a gimmick, but it’d cause some chaos for the defense and at worst, gets them to burn a TO.

Just thinking if he was going to commit this week we would see some crystal ball picks coming in.

Those can be double edged swords. Those that are or fancy themselves as “insiders” dont like their CB pics being wrong, so most won’t put their predictions in until it’s “captain obvious” levels of certainty. Where Clowney is keeping things close to the vest, nobody is willing to stick their neck out.

Interesting bit on Ebright on his Wikipedia page:

“Ebright has stated that the genome and properties of SARS-CoV-2 provide no basis to conclude the virus was engineered as a bioweapon,^[51][52] but he also has stated that the possibility that the virus entered humans through a laboratory accident cannot be dismissed^{[53][54][55][56][57]} and has called for a thorough investigation of the origin of the pandemic and for measures to reduce the risk of future pandemics.^{[58][59][60][61][62]”}

 

The way that is worded, both could be true. It may not have been engineered with the purpose of being a weapon, but may have been modified/studied in a lab for other purposes. 

If you’re taking a flier on a kid, may as well be from your own backyard.
