Any of you guys ever buy one of these Expert Grill Portable Charcoal Grills? I've got two nephews that are just getting started in life at their apartments in Chicago and Madison. They have patio/porch space but the landlords don't allow gas grills but I guess charcoal is ok....haha. 

Just curious. Wanted to get them something for Christmas they could use all year as opposed to just Venmo $. 

 

I started out with a 14" weber kettle grill. Had pretty good luck with it. I'm guessing the expert grill would have similar performance.  

My wife picked up another stray not long ago. We lost both of our dogs this year in a span of 3 weeks. I think she just wanted a distraction but of course it's attached to my hip.

If I win the consolation playoff would I stay in Champions League?

I went to RMK basketball camps for 3 summers.  I think 93-96. We stayed on campus and ate at the cafeteria.  Had the complete IU experience.

I also went to Jim Crews camp in Evansville and a bball camp at VU.

Congrats to everyone that made the playoffs.  Based on how it played out, all playoff teams in both leagues will qualify for the Champions League next year.  Even though @dgambillfell short of the playoffs, he qualifies based on his one-year exemption for winning the Champions League last season.  The good news is he does not take a spot from anyone, as @Indykevmade the playoffs in both leagues, and since he can't play 2 teams in Champions, it allows DGambill's exemption not to bump anyone else out.

I will detail everything more later in the week.

For those that did not qualify for the playoffs, I encourage you to continue to play through the consolation round.  A 7th place finish after the consolation round could earn promotion to the Champions League should someone who qualified not play next season.

 

 

 

 

I appreciate all the work you put in to this. Until you started it, I hadn't done fantasy football in years. I'm having a lot of fun with it. A good distraction from everyday life.

I think the announcers think they’re on a football field. 
 

special teams play, yards after contact?

They are SEC guys. Idk. It's weird though. 

Dunk that sparks!

Nice play by Malik 

Make it rain!!

14 foods you’ve never tried but will love

Can’t say I agree with some of the list but I will vouch for the awesomeness of Nasi Goreng. Warning if you try to make your own as I did, major ventilation is required when you open up the shrimp paste!! Still stand by the awesomeness!

I already love brussel sprouts, sour kraut, broccoli and perogies. 

Netflix has a series called World War 2 From The Frontlines.  Pretty good documentary series plus lots of great colorized footage I'd never seen before. 

Even shows a bit of the Japanese on Alaskas Aleutian Islands. I imagine most people don't know we had enemy troops on US soil during WW2. 

The official trailer.  2025 release date?  Guess I'll have time to save for a PS5

Why do they not make a mattress topper for the couch? That is where I get to sleep most of the time. I feel cheated.

This on one hand makes me angry, and on the other really sad 😡☹️

I'm guessing it makes you sad that we are running out of people capable of doing critical jobs?

Was with my son when he stopped at a couple of his job sites to check progress. He pointed out the new handicap signage.

I have a handicap uncle. He'd find a way to make fun of it.

Saying he has no athleticism is laughable. What’s with these random hypotheticals and why do they even matter? A lot of basketball players would be a lot worse if they were 7 inches shorter lol. You think TJD at 6’2 would be effective? Sure he’d still be athletic but a 6’2 guy who can’t shoot can only take you so far. What other post move does Edey need? He’s clearly effective at what he does so why change anything? He has great shooting touch (evidenced by his FT percentage), solid footwork, and is pretty mobile for a guy that size. It’s a silly argument IMO. How good would Reneau at 6’0 be? 

Your hypotheticals are even more ridiculous.  There are very few 7'4" people out there.  Hypothetically if Edey was 6'9"  he would likely play the same position. Your hypotheticals would put guys in a different position.

With that out of the way, his height and also his bodyweight give him quite and advantage. It's the thing that makes him effective, it's undeniable.

I don't anyone is saying he's a bad player. 

The cheap maple foul discrepancy is ridiculous

6-1, wasn’t a big fan of the final minutes. But a double digit win, can’t argue about that. MD looked awful

They looked awful because IU made them look awful 

I love Calbert being back at IU. My second favorite player at IU. Damon Bailey is #1. He'll, they're both #1.  Actually nobody is #1 I love them all. 

I can't keep up with you guys and basketball jokes and re nigging on how bad a team this was going to be. 

This game is frickin fun!
