leokitty posted:When I was flying back from Pittsburgh they had a statue of Franco Harris next to a statue of George Washington in the terminal. That sums up the way the city feels about the Steelers, I think. The side of the Heinz Regional History Museum has three pictures: 1) George Washington at the Forks the Ohio 2) A steel mill 3) Franco Harris That's all you need to know to get the full Pittsburgh experience. Maybe put a sandwich with fries and an egg and coleslaw on it in Washington's hand.

FuzzySkinner posted:ESPN with access to the bullhorn, rights to major bowl games, and the playoff could makes me feel a little uneasy as a fan of a mid-major and major conference that is not the SEC. I've already felt this way for years. Its already directly affected the national championship game. Remember when #1 Ohio State #2 Michigan was going to ruin football forever, but then an SEC rematch was the greatest thing in the history of ever? Big Ten had already aligned itself with Fox by then.

Someone should confirm that you can't study to be a barber at UNC. I mean, maybe you can! Like it's one of those weird things no one knows about. Although I do suspect the ambition of a guy that has all sorts of options and picks barber.

My concept would basically still have all the same coursework as any other B.A. The only difference is that you'd have football or whatever count for more than the 1.5 credit hours of physical education that it does now. I don't know what classes they'd be taking for "football" to get it up there to make it have enough credits. Maybe classes that help with learning how to coach or even breaking down position skills into a class. Still gotta have your nine credits of arts or whatever too. Obvviously players wouldn't be required to major in football and I think that the hard part would be keeping coaches from forcing players into it when they really do want something else out of their education.

Also, let's be realistic: they give way more of a poo poo about the athletes (even if they're hosing them) than they ever gave about any of us. It's not like they're trying to cover up my poo poo grades or that I loved sleeping way more than going to class.

MourningView posted:Golfing is fun as heck to actually do (and when I say "golfing" I of course mean "getting super drunk and driving recklessly in golf carts"). My issue is only with watching it on television, which is the worst sort of old man thing to do. The only glimmer of pleasure in my joyless, bland existence is going to an awesome driving range that has a full menu and bar, and they bring the food and beer right to your tee. The balls have microchips in them and there's "greens" all over the range with sensors tracking your distance and accuracy. It is literally the best.
