Where are you seeing that? All I see is Samwise to Nashville, which is great.

We must have a USMNT insider on the board!

Where have you seen that? The American Outlaws demanded he be fired.

I'm assuming USF is being replaced on the 2026 schedule. Possible opponents

RockyBalboa

Why would USF be replaced?

It's either them or Utah Tech

I honestly didn't know that it got to 118 degrees in Vegas (Sunday's High).

Windward_Coug

We'll see, it might not pan out that high but anything in that 115 range is oppressive, I'll be driving back into town

The Laker off-season played out just slightly different than some had hoped

BGRTHNUMEGO

3:42pm

If the only difference you see between a Honda Civic & a BMW M5 is the price it’s okay for you to buy & drive the Civic.

Tokolosh Stop the Stupid party member

True. More difference between the two than price.

A reason we wanted a guy like Lanier. Just glad we got a lot more rim protection & athletic brawn to us than last season

SinkingQuffa

How does he compare to Ja'Kobe Walter?

JuicyJam

3:45pm

Skill-wise, hopefully he's not too close.

SinkingQuffa

3:48pm

Walter was picked #19 by Toronto. Edgecombe is projected #6 in next year's

cougarfan84

Next years draft projection doesn't mean much at this point.

Wow.

Does the BYU v. Baylor game become an Edgecombe v. Demin matchup? Or will BYU

Copa America question. Is this right? Col and Bra are set up to meet again

Mitty

Because it wants an ARG v BRA final.

A gymnast won't ever qualify in my book as greatest athlete and here's why

Archaea

Heiden went on to cycling as well.

O Gaucho

3:16pm

Yeah, but what about Kim Jong-Il's as an athlete? He shot a 38 under including 11 holes in one.

TN_Coug

He has killed several birds with one just one bomb

O Gaucho

Turd Ferguson

Yes, and you wanted the US men's swimming in 76. The US men swept a lot of event

Archaea

3:44pm

Ashton Eaton or Kevin Mayer, but Jim Thorpe was incomparable in 1912

Archaea

3:32pm

I couldn't disagree more.

Can an average gymnast put the shot or throw a discuss, hit a major league base-

Comical b/c your definition of athlete is myopic and ridiculously narrow,

Authors do it all the time, so I'm applying a definition and metric that makes

Archaea

Honestly, I think gymnasts are the group that is most likely to be able to...

cougarBee

4:09pm

This take is nuts and wildly misinformed. Gymnasts are the best athletes on the planet.

Haysom Till

3:37pm

Define "best" and "athlete"?

Archaea

3:43pm

Here's my definition, and this may shock you,

gangbusters

I don't even know how you would apply your definition and if

Archaea

3:58pm

Try reading my post again, or have it read to you if that helps.

gangbusters

4:01pm

So you just came up with one to fit gymnasts. Where would you put pole vaulters?

Archaea

4:03pm

No I didn't come up with one "to fit gymnasts." Pole vaulting IMO does not come

gangbusters

4:06pm

or cyclists, road or track?

Archaea

4:04pm

I think I've read that book:

foofcoug

3:44pm

So, Mariano Rivera, best closer ever, is not a great athlete? Um, ok.

Jelly Man

3:47pm

Well duh, if he can't do a 100m hurdles than of course not.

gangbusters

3:50pm

False metric. A great athlete isn't the greatest across all other sports.

Archaea

3:55pm

So, according to your definition, Danny Ainge is the best athlete ever at BYU.

Jelly Man

3:59pm

Danny Ainge is probably BYU's greatest athlete ever.

Archaea

4:01pm

I think your definition of an athlete is one of semantics that most would not

Jelly Man

OldFogey

Good tune up game, and helps G5 teams. The B12 schedule is hard enough. It's OK to help old friends who got locked out.

COPA knockout rounds will have no Extra Time. Straight to PKs.

Spiff SequelTrilogyFan

Will also feature refs repeatedly blowing calls

BIG XII Coug

3:09pm

I'm not sure. The CONCACAF teams are already basically out. But the blown calls will probably only benefit BRA & ARG now

That's lame. PKs suck. How about, no PKs, just unending extra time until

POLL: What is the most you'd be willing to spend on a vehicle (used or new doesn't matter)?

Windward_Coug

2:28pm

For those selecting anything above $40k…what is your rationale for spending that

BlooCoug

2:35pm

Who says it is a depreciating asset?

kccougar

2:36pm

95% of the time automobiles are likely depreciating assets. Collector cars that

BlooCoug

2:37pm

Right. And you said new or used doesn't matter. I would pay over $40k for an appreciating asset vehicle.

kccougar

2:38pm

Okay, that makes sense. What about a non-collector vehicle?

BlooCoug

2:40pm

People spend unnecessary funds on all kinds of experiences and for some, driving their vehicles is as much an experience

kccougar

So the poll is "How much are you willing to spend on a boring automobile?" Easy. $0.
