    Sports College Football Catch-All Thread

    A friend of my son went to CU a few years ago and was one of the Ralphie handlers for the on field run outs during one of his years there. He said it was an awesome experience.

    Politics Texas VS. California Redistricting

    I wish that every district in every state was developed as close as possible to 50%R/50%D. Then those folks that have massively gerrymandered seats would actually have to do 2 things. 1) Work to develop relationships and be genuine to maintain the seat 2) Shut up with the BS. Go take a...

    Politics FAFO

    I've stood behind several paying with SNAP over the years. The overwhelming majority are battling multiple kids and they are working their hardest not to overspend their benefits. Most have two carts, one for SNAP covered foods and one for the stuff not covered by SNAP so they don't get things...

    Off-Topic Resting heart rate

    When I ran a lot, my resting HR would be about 45 when I woke up in the mornings. Now it's about 60.

    Politics Thom Tillis will not run for reelection in 2026

    I like Jackson a lot, but the republicans absolutely HATE him. They would skewer him from daylight to dark with negativity. I think that Cooper would have a better shot at winning this time around. That says a lot re: cameras on/off to me. Had you said he was the same type of person 24/7...

    Off-Topic The best fast food value for your buck

    I like the Wendy's Biggie Bag for lunch. But quantity of food for lunch is a big issue for me - I don't need a huge pile of food then. It's also hard to go against a Waffle House omelet - that's usually a good amount of food for breakfast!

    Politics USA Impacts of bombing Iran

    I think that it's all about winning a Nobel Peace Prize and he see's that slipping from his grasp since the cease fire has been violated.

    Politics When is it too late to Whitewash this Board?

    There are lots of teachers that still do this. I know many of them personally that won't purchase in their home towns in WNC. When I was a principal, I can't tell you how many times I got calls from members of the community saying "one of your teachers was buying beer at the grocery store" or...

    Politics USA Impacts of bombing Iran

    You are correct. Legalized price gouging. Sky high overnight and takes forever to come down. And there is always an excuse.... Went up $.25 overnight in WNC after the bombing. I saw everywhere from $2.79 to $3.09 in WNC over the weekend, and it hadn't been that high in months. See...

    Off-Topic Random: Have you ever gotten a sunburn on a cloudy day?

    Yes. Ironically, when we took my sister's ashes to spread them, all of the folks at the ceremony except me got burned to an absolute crisp because they stayed out for hours after the ceremony on a cloudy, cool day. I had to leave to get back for one of my son's games during his senior year...

    Politics G7 in Alberta

    He also had to answer questions from foreign media that wasn't going to bend the knee to him too, which is something in and of itself. He couldn't pick the planted questioners....

    Wow. Whole lot of perspective in that editorial cartoon.

    Politics So tired of the 'national emergencies' Trump keeps lying about

    Didn't know that until right now. She and Sydney Powell can have their "Battle of the Blues" to see who is worse.

    Off-Topic Car Brands

    A little late to your post, but we had a Sienna that took our kids through the last part of elementary school until they graduated high school. Went all over the place in it as our son played soccer and we were on the road to Charlotte or Greensboro most weekends, sometimes twice per weekend...
