    Obli's Observations: crib notes

    In total I thought play calling was excellent. Good mix of pass and run. Kept Auburn on their toes. Thought that Clifford made a mistake at the end of the first half on the long ball. Not egregious because they intercepted inside their 10. But thought we had an opportunity to extend the lead and...

    What's the atmosphere like in SC right now?

    Was downtown early this afternoon. At 530 the town was crowded. I was at Local Whiskey snd it was full. No one wearing masks. No one enforcing the mandate. We walked past Champs and there was a bit of a line. Pickles had a line. By 8pm everything was as packed as it could be. Met a bunch of...

    OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

    Florida is nosediving which is good. But I have yet to see the media acknowledge that Florida is dropping now and their behavior is just about identical to what it was in June 2021 when cases and hospitalizations were escalating quickly. This matches what happened in 2020, an upward trend on...

    OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

    Any non-scientific analysis of the rates in pa and al over the next few weeks would be pretty useless. You are not looking at correlation. Simply looking at what the 2 states numbers do over the next few weeks or months tells you nothing about whether the moves (up or down) were triggered by...

    Helton is toast.....

    Agreed. I love Southern Cal but you couldn’t pay me enough to live in LA. I am there all of the time for work, and hate it. There are some nice parts - the beach towns are great. But getting anywhere is a royal pain in the ass!

    Helton is toast.....

    one thing to look at is cost of living between USC and PSU. I grew up in State College. A 2 million $ house in state college is pretty freaking nice. I live in San Diego now. A 2 million dollar house in a nice area of southern cal isn’t all that special. Frankly in some of the nicer beach...

    #10 AP poll

    Iowa has at least won all of its games. Phil St lost at home. They were favored by 2 TDs. Clemson managed to score 3 points in week 1. They had 2 total rushing yards. Don’t get the love for Clemson at all.

    AKB: looking for recommendations for 2022 family ski trip

    Mamoth is such a pain in the a$$ to get to. I live in SD. Flying in to Bishop is harrowing and driving from LA or SD is pretty much a full day. The mountain is decent but the town is meh. I think Colorado and Utah have much more to offer.

    AKB: looking for recommendations for 2022 family ski trip

    Colorado spots are a bit longer drive if you fly into Denver. I have had some harrowing drives from Denver to the ski spots. You can fly into Vail and solve that problem. I liked the town of Breckenrisge more than Vail. Breck is more of a real town. I also love Park City. Easy drive from...

    I use YouTubeTV and like it a lot. Good channel selection.

    ###Gold Cup Thread###

    Fun game to watch. Definitely not the best 11 the US can put together. But the team played well. Good showing bodes well for the team!

    ###Gold Cup Thread###

    Wish soccer would get the faking injuries under control. Not sure what the answer is. But players fall to the ground and pretend to be injured way too often. It breaks the flow of the game and just looks silly.

    OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

    I don’t have kids in CA schools. My step son was in CA schools and is now at Penn St. But the new rule requiring kids to wear masks in school next year is just awful. Some of the comments by the folks in charge in CA are head scratchers. For instance Dr Mark Ghaly state health and human...

    OT: Nest or Ecobee thermostat?

    I have 2 ecobee's. Installed them about 3-4 years ago and they have been great. Love being able to turn AC on remotely. Makes it super easy when returning from a vacation or if you just don't want to get out of bed

    OT: US Open

    Not sure the bomb it off the tee actually worked in the long term at Torrrey. Bryson came apart. Even hitting it ridiculously far, you have to keep it out of bad lies in the rough and the penalty areas. Lots of people complaining about Torrey. I have played the course probably 50 times. It...

    OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

    Went the Padres game last night. First one since the CA reopening and end of mask requirements. On the positive side - I’d say 90% of people were massless. I did see some massless adults with masked children and that drives me nuts. Interestingly, concessions were a nightmare. It was a...

    Good news for USMNT (fussball)

    Oops. Ya it looked like more Mexico fans for sure. And they have good arms.

    Good news for USMNT (fussball)

    It is really ugly in Mexico. Fans are literally pelting players with cups, bottles etc. hit a US player after the goal and the. Just nailed a Mexican player a second ago.

    OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

    was just thinking how government officials don’t seem to be held accountable for demonstrably wrong statements. For instance in early March, California’s governor said that Texas lifting its mask mana date was “absolutely reckless.” 3 months and a few days later and Texas seems to be doing...

    Rahm just tested positive for Covid

    I’ll leave the vaccine stuff alone. But I don’t think it was a great look for the PGA to inform Rahm on the 18th hole in front of the cameras. Why couldn’t they have waited until he walked inside? Seems like a poor decision
