drat Dirty Ape posted:I work with a lot of vets and it does seem that generally the people who did the most badass difficult stuff are the least likely to mention it or give a poo poo about it except to tell funny stories about stuff that happened. The exception to this is upper management people, but I suppose once you spend enough time climbing ranks it becomes a huge part of your identity. One of my "sisters" (Godmother's daughters) married a military lifer. He absolutely will not under any circumstances talk about his service, active or past, and the only thing we've gathered is that his official role is combat medic. We can only assume that he's some sort of special forces because that's all we've got. The lesson here, if you served and you want people to think you were a badass, simply refuse to talk about anything that happened during your time.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Don't at all mean this to sound like a snide retort, just my actual guess, is that talking like this is genuinely normal and popular with many Americans, maybe not a majority but a big enough chunk, and disproportionately so among the people you need to win over -- boosters, staff, recruits and especially their high school coaches -- to succeed at college football. It's somewhere between 10% and 35% depending on where you are in the country. Hell I grew up in rural SW Virginia and it might've been a majority at that time.

I played sports in the south and have mindlessly and monotonously repeated the Lords Prayer approximately 1 million times on school grounds because thats just fine and ok and the establishment clause doesnt apply down here.

Conversely, it is super unusual for a rural Northernerss like me. It isn't like we weren't really conservative either. I perceive it as a denominational division that follows ethnic lines. Hell, my high school's entire coaching staff went to my church and so did a plurality of the players. The defensive coordinator did readings at Mass on Sunday. I asked my brother who played for them and the only time he remembers anyone praying was when someone got seriously injured during a game (ambulance and everything).

The biggest mission of my Marine career was installing bootleg copies of Doom and some golf game on all the HQ computers for 1/6.

Hope Lovett enjoys the competition, he's not gonna be top Dawg anymore. Pretty clear Georgia has the NIL game on lock since it wasn't about playing time or anything with his time at Mizzou

Cthulu Carl posted:My boss is ex-Navy and has no problem talking about the times he had to watch dudes pee for drug tests. Because it's funny. We had a Sergeant in Germany who, when he got assigned urinalysis monitor duty (meatgazer), he got tested the day before the 100% unit-wide test so he knew it was coming. He wouldn't shave that morning. So when someone had trouble getting a good stream going, he'd get uncomfortably close to you and then grind his unshaven chin into your neck.

Pretty clear Georgia has the NIL game on lock since it wasn't about playing time or anything with his time at Mizzou I know one of them, cant remember who, is pretty much immediately going to slot into the X and go for it. Not that they won't be pushed, but we really don't have a good X receiver in the room. There is still this recruiting perception that we don't throw the ball, which like, hasn't really been true in 3 seasons, so getting top shelf receivers has been tough and our WR evals haven't been as good as other positions.

That could potentially be fun if he ever figures anything out. I'm not sure how much of Clemson's problems were the OC just expecting to out-talent everyone vs him being bad?

Former Clemson OC Tony Elliott has turned out to be a dogshit coach at UVA, so what exactly is it that has sustained Clemson's success over the years? I think it was the talent alone and not actually coaching or scheme. Hopefully Clemson is regressing to their historical mean.

I mean, Clemson had a run of incredible dual-threat QBs surrounded by a bunch of great skill players. I hope DJ pulls a Bo Nix. Seems like people were terrible about his mental health issues with all the pressure.

The Venables thing is wild because I remember OU fans being incandescently mad when he was their DC. And I also know OU fans that were happy when he got hired back at OU. And I also know OU fans about ready to literally blow their brains out after this season. The Sooners are a land of contrasts.

Well Dabo is a poo poo coach so  That said our offense is kinda dated now, we run more RPO then anyone in the NCAA but defenses have figured out how to defend it. lamentable dustman fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Dec 24, 2022 |

lamentable dustman posted:Well Dabo is a poo poo coach so I think the problem is just that the only way for it to work against a team that has similar talent is if theres some element (QB/RB) that makes that RPO dangerous enough that you HAVE to cheat it one way and create an initial option space. When I can gamble that DJ wont make a throw, thats a bet Ill take every day of the week. When I can gamble on him missing or the receivers having stone hands, even better. Theres nothing built in after that initial threat that in any way forces a choice past the initial move.

He was one of two basically openly gay soldiers in the unit (this is during DADT), he got out and stayed in Germany, last I saw him he was working in the auto shop on base in Wuerzburg with flaming pink hair. He seemed like he was living his best life, I hope things worked out for him because we closed that base down a year later. To college: USA is still looking for their first bowl victory in program history. WKU absolutely turned the New Orleans Bowl into a horror show.
