Watched the first two new Stranger Things episodes. Pretty much as expected: Easy-to-watch escapist theater.

Watched the first two episodes of Netflix's Death By Lightning. Interesting story, and surprised how much we laughed. Great cast: Michael Shannon, Matthew Macfadyen, Nick Offerman, Bradley Whitford, Betty Gilpin, Paula Malcomson, Shea Whigham. Every minute Macfadyen is on the screen is fantastic.

Quote from: Skatastrophy on Today at 09:52:31 AMHis first name is Rayford.

We should be calling him Traeford.

Unfortunately our problems go way further than him.

Classic case of everyone caring way more about a podcaster (Trae distracted much?) than they ever do about 2 Guards. Keaton Wallace is not going to get things done.

I'll repeat since you didn't answer my question and it will help clarify your initial query "He re- tore it playing 2k and had another surgery?" - what is your typical 0-2 week protocol for a BTB ACL reconstruction on a high level athlete? does it include jumping?

To answer the question you presented from my question - some surgeons, not me, are more comfortable harvesting the gracilis and offers less post op anterior knee pain. Some consider the graft to be stiffer as well which in a vacuum I agree with however modern fixation methods allow the same or even greater stiffness with bone plugs and the patellar tendon. Different ways to skin a cat.

Obviously, no jumping for the first two weeks. What are your criteria for progression to plyometrics? Wouldn't you agree that if he injured it in an excited 2k moment, it likely would have also happened walking to class, getting out of the shower, showing EGBs on the bench?

Kumiko blew me away this past Sunday. Went and had the tasting menu for my wife's birthday and it was an unreal experience. It ended up being 7 courses, with the culmination of the savory dishes being a sort of bento-esque sampler.

Hard to nail down a favorite bite (althoughmaybe a custard with blue prawn that was made from a broth of the shells of the prawn, if i have to pick a favorite). With the sake pairing it was a pricey meal, but one of the few that I have found to actually meet the hype. Strongly recommend for a memorable night out.

Quote from: JWags85 on Today at 11:08:33 AMI mean, they are in a mid major conference and the unquestioned number 2 program in the state, not to mention they have no real football history to speak of.  2 coaches there in the last 70 years have had winning records, and one (McElwain) was only there 3 years. Even with CU sucking for awhile, CSU is still little brother...in a state that doesn't produce a ton of D1 talent 

How dare you call The Conference of ChampionsTM a mid-major.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 11:03:45 AMAt various points during the game, the announcers were criticizing St. John's fundamentals and game plan. Which, if I didn't know that Pitino was on the sideline, would have sounded like an indictment of the coach.

Oh  my  Gawd! That's horrible. And inexcusable and unacceptable.

Quote from: Viper on Today at 10:02:19 AMMichigan...new coach (yr 2), utilizing all the recruiting tools available...it's only Nov., but F4 looking probable. Dusty May won't be confused with Helen Keller.

OK. Now please explain how the cellar dwellers in the major conferences, "utilizing all the recruiting tools available", have not achieved the same results.

I'll make it easier for you. Totally disregard Marquette because Shaka is the only coach not "utilizing all the recruiting tools available". That way you are comparing apples to apples without an anomaly messing up your explanation.

If Marquette was where Purdue and Michigan are or if Marquette finishes the season winless, nothing, nada, zip, zero would be proven regarding the use of the portal. I think it is a fair guess that you are not a statistician.

Onepost gave the name Sherlock Holmes after I busted him for trying to sneak in a major revision of one of his posts. Please humor me and use that name, because I really like it. You can call me Sherlock or Mr. Holmes. Either would be fine.   

Heading out for our Thanksgiving dinner soon. Are you going to your BIL's house for yours?

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 10:48:35 AMThere are really no reasons for CSU to be this bad outside of poor leadership and coaching hires. Nice campus, great new stadium and facilities, strong fan support, and Ft. Collins is an awesome town.
