UCL final going down to final extra time.

Come on PSG.
Watched this yesterday evening in a pub in Dublin. The vast majority of locals were pulling for PSG to repeat.

No surprise, since anything British still tends to not be favored here.

It was my 4th pub of the day, including the iconic tourist trap at The Temple Bar, but I wasn’t to the point of literally ‘crawling’.

MAC Conference Discussion

MAC adds Sacramento State as football-only member in 2026

The MAC presidents have voted to add FCS Sacramento State into the league as a football-only member starting in 2026.

Sacramento State will join the conference starting July 1, the school announced Tuesday.

The cost of entrance is expected to be $18 million, sources said, and a deal is expected to be announced in the upcoming days. All in, the total cost of entry is expected to be $23 million, as Sacramento State would also need to pay $5 million to the NCAA to move up.

This marks a significant move for Sacramento State, as it will be the first West Coast program to make the jump to the highest level of football in well over a generation.

2026 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, Arrogant Twatwaffles, Emasculated Cucks, Feckless Marmots, Dirty Cheaters "Mid"chigan

I don't think @ Minnesota is a slam dunk for them either. They'll beat Rutgers Sparty and UCLA most likely but nothing else is going to be easy for them.
Just sayin': WMU and UTEP could be (not real difficult) wins too

BP Fantasy Baseball est. 2008 (Current Champion = Ahiacitian)

You know how you almost always leave a bunch of offense on the bench and it seems like they only hit when you don't start them? The baseball gods just fucking with you?

This year, my team is so fucking bad even the bench doesn't put up any offense. Think about that. They are so bad even the baseball gods are like "just leave the poor bastard alone."

This might very well be the worst fantasy baseball team ever assembled.

May I suggest you review the current standings? 11th place is 6.5 games from 7th place. I’m 10 games back of 11th place. I should start auctioning my players off for spare parts.

Deciding When to Retire

Going through this process now. Just turned 50 and next year is my year to qualify for state retirement. I can lock it in and come back to work..."double dip". However, I become at at will employee and can be dismissed at any time.

Definitely not ready to stop working but trying to figure out the best financial route.
If you still enjoy and are fulfilled with what you are doing, there is no reason to retire.

Star Wars (May the Force be with you)

Put this in the movie thread, but guess it fits here, too.

"The Mandalorian and Grogu"

Meh, it was essentially just an episode of the series stretched out over 2+ hours, and it suffers for it. Really liked the series and enjoy the characters, but this is a money grab. I think Star Wars on the big screen is done. This was the worst of the films, IMO, and if anyone knows my opinion on "The Phantom Menace", that should tell ya something. The kids did enjoy it, so there's that.

3/10 for me.
