December OT Thread

PrintSo, just incase you haven't heard by now, Nevada beat Boise Sta...wait, what's that? You don't care? Oh, alright, that's cool.
Well anyways, it's December and do you know what that means?! I have offseason conditioning for track & field!!! Oh yea, and that Christmas thing too. I'm normally more excited for Christmas break, but 1st semester senior year has sucked so far and it's just drained me of all my energy. People have always told me that it's the easiest year of high school...they're wrong...so far. Filling out all those college applications and writing those essays has been really stressful. But the good news is that the only thing standing between me and freedom is finals. And after that 2nd semester should be a lot easier...at least that's what I'm hoping for. Huh? You still don't care? Fair enough.
And now, the thing you've been waiting for (more or less), my signature random poll thingy.

I care...a LOT
My grandparents have lived in boise for over 25 years, and since the Aggies are a AA team I gave the broncos my 1A allegiance. I’ve met Kyle Brotzman at Cafe Grenika in boise, and the dude is solid. He’s born and raised from nearby Meridian, and I cannot imagine what he’s going through right now. This loss is a big blow to the program, and they have one year to get things set straight, since TCU is bolting to the big east next year. DAMNIT

not next year
it’s the year after next year, so boise will still be with TCU next year. although that wouldn’t have mattered if utah and BYU had stayed. or, what if it was boise that was headed to the pac 10 instead of colorado? either way, the conference they join would be stacked.
and i actually did care too. not just the broncos, the non-AQ teams in general. now i’m rooting for TCU. i love an underdog.

that boise vs nevada game
that was gut wrenching. i was hella pumped when kellen moore hit titus young with 2 seconds left to put them in field goal range. then when brotzman missed that field goal, i knew they were going to lose and my heart just sank.

by serrapadre716 on Dec 1, 2010 9:35 PM PST up reply actions
I think TCU moving to the Big East will help Boise in the long run, assuming they stay strong. Since without TCU in the way, they will still continue to be the highest ranked Non-AQ school in the country, and will get those BSC bids, and the $$$ that goes along with it.
Minor setback is all this is, I suspect.
And yeah, I’m now cheering for TCU to make the national title game against Oregon. I’d love to see Auburn fall at the end. This would also mean Stanford could go to the Rose Bowl, which would be awesome.

I have a team to root for, but we (like the rest of the ACC) sucked this year. I was really pulling for TCU/BSU to get one of those top 2 spots. I don’t know, all of this non-AQ BS just gets to me. I feel like the SEC is the only legitimate conference. I’ve watched the ACC, and I’ve seen some Pac-10 games… they’ve got their fair share of “Little Sisters of the Poor”.
Now, I only wish BSU had headed over to the Pac-10 instead of Colorado. They’d face some tough competition in Oregon and USC, and play in a tougher conference.

Late 70's, early 80's sci-fi was a pinnacle period for the genre.
And the entire era seems to have a lot of campy cheerfulness in media that I’m not sure actually existed. By the time my real clear memories start, half the eighties were gone, but the history I know leads me to believe it wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine.
And generally, good sci-fi occurs when bad things are happening in the world.

I was pretty displeased by that news, too. I mean, the US had by far the best bid…we could host the WC tomorrow if we had to. And it would have made boatloads of money. Guess the players better hope Qatar does a good job air conditioning their stadiums, because its gonna be 120 degrees there…

Honestly, what a disgusting decision. Any last shred of dignity possessed by FIFA evaporated the moment they thought a World Cup in a tiny desert state would be a good idea. Air conditioned stadia maybe, but what about training facilities? Sure, the likes of Spain and Brazil may be able to afford the required technology, but small nations like New Zealand? Not so sure.
Fact is you’ve got to have the money to pay off the guys that matter if you want to host the damn thing. So what do you get? A World Cup in the ‘mafia state’ that is Putin’s post-Soviet Russia and another in a tiny Gulf state awash with oil and gas dollars.
FIFA’s motto is ‘For the game, for the world’. For their Swiss bank accounts more like.

(also is it even legal to sell them??)

The Walking Dead is by far my favorite show on TV right now. This is what a zombie story needed. You just cannot get the same emotion from a movie than you do a TV series. You go through all of their ups and downs in the hell they have to face. You don’t just get a quick glimpse of the pain they go through, your ass gets dragged down with them to the point of almost shedding tears (or at least i felt like i was about to cry). It’s good stuff.

So I don't know how your folks TV watching goes...
But tonight’s episode of Community was easily the best Christmas episode I have ever seen on television. The whole thing’s done in stop motion animation and comes out amazingly. Both heartfelt and hilarious, I think it might be something I personally watch every Christmas season along with the other classic Christmas specials.
Community is a wonderful show in general...
I love it. I wish it got more respect. Their Christmas episode last night was, without a doubt, their best episode to date, and I’ll agree, the best Christmas episode I have ever seen. It was amazing.
Actually, all the TV Shows I watched last night were epic: Community, The Office, Sunny, and The League. It was the season finales for Sunny and League, and both did quite well. Community last night was amazing, though…

Don’t really watch The Office anymore and never got into Sunny, but I thought The League was up and down. Really liked the penultimate episode, but thought the season finale sucked, mainly because the most unlikable character on the show won.
Of course Ruxin won it all…its the only way the season could end!

My personal favorite is the paintball episode. Unfortunately, I’m behind on this current season. I don’t understand why it’s not a show more people talk about. I must admit, I thought they’d screw it up with the second season… but somehow the show continues to be funny. Only a few “bad” episodes IMO. Most impressive.

For anyone that has ever watched Smallville
And let me preface this by saying that yes, I know that it’s a crap TV show, and yes, I know that it’s hard to believe that it’s still going on (10th season this year). But it’s a guilty pleasure damnit, and it has an irresistible combination of pretty, pretty men and DC comic mythology.
Anyways, it’s the tenth and final season, and man have the writers hit it out of the freaking park. They’ve pulled absolutely no stops this season, bringing back virtually every character that’s even been important that hasn’t died (and a few that have). They’ve featured the Green Arrow, Hawkman, Brainiac 5, the Black Canary, Aquaman, Mera, Cat Grant, Supergirl, Lena Luthor, Darkseid, Granny Goodness, Glorious Godfrey, Rick Flag, Deathstroke, and the Suicide Squad, and it’s only 11 episodes in. Clark is an actual freaking superhero (still not Superman and still can’t fly, though), and Lois is absolutely fantastic.
I absolutely implore anyone who watched Smallville ever to start watching this season. The soapy aspects of the show have been scaled back, and it’s really like watching a comic book in both tone and content. And if you are a fan of the Lois and Clark relationship… Well let’s just say it got turned up to 11.

The video from the security cameras of it happening was a pretty awesome shot, though! That stadium is falling apart….they need something new (or they could just move to LA).

I'm pretty sure I'm getting a Justin Braun jersey for Christmas.
I put it on my Amazon list as a joke when I was putting a Pavelski jersey on there. My dad sent me an email asking me a question about sizing and lettering and hinted that he might not be the only one buying me a jersey. Since there were only two on there and my dad is the only one who has that list that knows any of the players on the Sharks, I assume he’s explaining to my grandparents what they need to know.
If this occurs, I will be wearing the Braun jersey to FTF Night.
I’m really entertained by this possibility.

Haha, nice!
Braun is such a random choice, which makes it awesome.
I still need to get my blank jerseys customized. I was gonna get one as Shelley and the other as Roenick….but I kept dragging my feet. Now they are gone… :(

Anyone messing around with the Firefox 4 Beta?
It’s really cool-looking. Haven’t had much time to play with all the new features, but it’s really sharp and a bit more responsive than 3.6. I recommend it.
No, I've been using RockMelt.
I’ve been digging that. Despite some bugs here and there.

I would agree with you
Mozilla has made amazing steps in making FF a faster browser (it’s especially noticable on some SBN sites). However, I’ve found that at least on my machine, FF4 is way too lock-up happy for my tastes. Currently using Google Chrome and keeping tabs on each Firefox 4 beta to see if the lock-ups have been fixed.

Their payroll spent just on their rotation is going to be more than the A’s spend on their entire team.
And the rich get richer…sigh.

I've got a question about the FTF night at the tank
What time does it start?
We’re having dinner and everything before the game, so what time should we arrive?

Doors at the Tank are at 6:15.
I’m getting there way before that, because it’d make no sense for me to get off work at 4, go home (in the opposite direction) for 20-ish minutes, then go to San Jose. But realistically, a half-hour or so before 6:15 would probably be smart to get parking, walk to the Tank, get in the entry line, etc.

Woo hoo, off to the airport today for my flight to San Francisco tomorrow morning. See you all at the Tank next week!

You know it's been a weird season when you start Couture over Thornton in your fantasy league and don't feel bad about it.

who's in your other C spot then?
"Burnside seems to hate these guys. Oh wait ... I seem to love these guys!" - Pierre LeBrun
I have 4 Sharks on my fantasy team: Marleau, Heatley, Pavelski, and Couture (who I picked up in the 14th round).
I start them every game. I also never start one of my goalies if they’re facing the Sharks.
Might not necessarily be the best strategy, but I stay faithful to my team. I also just love having so many Sharks on my team, makes it more enjoyable. Both watching Sharks games and following my fantasy stats.
I’m also currently in 3rd and just 3 points out of 1st in my 14 team league.

I just found out what the top prize is for the FTF Night raffle.
I won’t ruin the surprise, but I have just one word: WOW.

I’m hella bummed that I won’t be able to join all you guys at FTF night, but there is always next year. I should try saving up money now so that when it’s announced i’ll be ready.
