Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

Smiled at your comments Jwin...lived in SF for 14 years, and was awestruck by the architecture downtown and in some of the near-in areas. Of course, some of the more 'elegant' areas had the better lines to the houses, and in the avenues, still had some, but more were cookie cutter type of houses. (Little boxes on the hillside reference South SF), and were just that, as seen from the 101. Anyway, the prices of those little boxes has skyrocketed as well, and the ethnic eateries most anywhere, usually run by those from other lands, are almost always good. If they're not, then they don't last very long....PS, from SF, moved to Dallas, where was all steel/chrome and glass. Not much architectural diversity.

Ohio State Men's Ice Hockey (2019 B1G Champions)

One thing about these difficult rebuilding seasons under Rohlik is that he always has the team showing real improvement late in the season, and then they come out strong the next year. If history is any predictor, we'll be picked to finish last in the B1G next year and will end up making the tournament.

Ohio State Women's Basketball (2023-24 B1G CHAMPS)

Will state that am impressed that Elsa has grown from last to this year. Still hasn't got that 'mean streak' in her, but she's trying. Hobbs can give her a blow, but uncomfortable with Hobbs in during a comeback etc. Kitts seems to 'fill in the cracks' well on the glass. Don't know who's the bigs coach, but wish they'd work with Elsa on facing the basket. Other than the occasional 3, when she faces, she doesn't drive. Hey, if she's on the free throw line, pop one or two, so the D big doesn't sag in the middle. (Took me more than a few years to do that, but my back to the basket game was pretty solid)....

WR Jaeden Ricketts (Official Thread)

Kid is football fast too. I've seen him run guys down on defense that he had no business being close too.

BTW some of these run measurements were done when he was 190lbs+ - the speed will follow him as he puts on more muscle.
Kind of sounds like a Parris Campbell to me, is that a good comparison? I sure hope so for our sake.

Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

I was screaming at the TV as soon as he got the takedown. I told my wife Ryan heard me and decided to challenge. She very emphatically stated she didn't think so. She's such a Negative Nancy
Kind of infuriating he even had to throw the brick, but refs are humans and they got it right. Really great roll we're on, hopefully our guys that are banged up enjoy the golden singlets and are ready for the gauntlet once the PSU dual is over.

I hate when they call someone a"poor mans" anything. The poor are the ones fighting and winning or fucking wars and have been.

I'll take a poor hungry guy in a fight over a rich kid any day.

I don’t really care for player comparisons in general. I mean I know Day is at minimal a good ball knower but prime Hill is an incomparable player to anyone. He is absolutely one of the most explosive and fastest wide receivers ever.

I don’t really have a point. Oh well still posting, sorry everyone.

Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 19 Straight B1G Titles)

great question Calibuck
So this practice you describe has been called stacking and sometimes can offer an underdog team enough advantage to upset a stronger opponent.
The practice violates NCAA sportsmanship codes so NCAA has added some boundaries to protect the integrity of the lineup system.
Each player on a teams roster has a UTR Universal tennis ranking and a wtn (ranking system used by ITA).
I have read that coaches are required to show evidence from team challenge matches to justify their lineup when jumping a player w lower UTR or WTN above a higher UTR.
In dual meets coaches submit lineups in advance and in ita and ncaa tournaments opposing coaches have the right to challenge the submitted lineup. If challenge is successful the lineup is adjusted accordingly.
This seems to offer a better correction for attempts to stack.
I'm glad I re read this because I was gonna be one of "those" people lol . I originally read it saying utr is used by the ncaa.. But they switched to wtn as the official ranking either last year or 2024.

I almost had to become heavily invovled with wtn but I pushed back a little against it.
