Site funding question solved if we are willing to endure some physical pain:

Imagine the views/clicks/money if you filmed the average BPer doing this stuff side by side with CHJ

A few of us might die, but what price for glory?

It’s kind of like how whenever I briefly consider trying to do a full on interval sprint as opposed to merely picking up pace to maybe 80% for an interval I get a vision in my head of body parts falling off like the outside layer of a detreading semi tire.

Thanks for the box scores, being a numbers guy, the thing that stood out to me was the assists. 30 of them. That translates to 60 (or more) points for the good guys. Shows unselfishness, and counts as much as a long jumper. Anyway, also shows that someone is willing to take the shot. Sometimes in a close game, people pass up a shot, I guess because they're afraid to miss in crunch time. If tOSU keeps doing this, the season will be bright. And no, didn't see the game, the level of competition, nor which lineup Diebs is gonna put on the floor at start of B10 season. And I'll take being a dark horse at the start of the season, and hopefully the W's pile up before start of B10 season. Go Bucks!

How are you actually watching him? I know it’s not the main broadcast.

Do you have ESPN+? They have featured hole coverage - just saw him hit the best approach shot on hole #3 so far today, from the best side, and miss the extremely makeable birdie putt once again. This channel features holes 3, 12, 15 & 16 (so there will be a good chance to see him play a few holes later in the round). Last week, there were more featured holes channels, but this is the only one I'm seeing today.

Not sure if this will work, but this might be the link to the channel: https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/bbd54108-4a2f-4a1f-933f-e76d57048a9b#bucketId=1

Miles to go till the finish line, certainly. Don't believe there's any doubt (now), that Ryan Day has built a juggernaut upon the foundation that UFM and others started. That recruits all want to at least 'see' what tOSU has to offer speaks volumes as well. Probably doesn't mean much in the long run, but reading what new portal hires say about Ohio State being 'other worldly' etc that come from places that aren't cheesy indicates that tOSU is doing something right. Of course, not THAT scarlet colored glasses, that believe that tOSU will land everyone, but always looks good. NIL $, depth chart, distance from home, etc are all final factors. So we'll see how plays out. Guess my (sometimes obscure) point is that the recruiting recipe is strong. Certainly Day is key, staff also key, Coach Mick and Mark Pantoni don't receive enough credit, and simply the entire organization contributes to this success. Also enjoy that when a recruit decommits, Day & Co seem to get a replacement in the fold that is ranked more highly. This 'love letter' to Buckeyeland is simply recognition of the enjoyment I get from this program.

Probably the Resident Evil franchise eventually being remade as a Ken Burns documentary. We can all surely sleep well though …

Wow. You must be a bird! I'd need to use the crosswalks to get from hither to yon. That's pretty high housing density. But looks like you had a nice park nearby. PS, when was in LA, got married and divorced. Was happier to leave LA than the woman. And was VERY happy to leave the woman.

My sympathies. I stopped teaching last year because I was losing about a dozen words a week. In my case, it's being 83. In his case, it's early-onset dementia.

@Jagdaddy had it correct. Shipley is at -4 under after 2 rounds (shot -3 today), putting him at T49 heading into the weekend.

I watched some of Shipley's play last weekend and he is playing pretty well, just not finishing makeable birdie putts as often as he should. From the holes I saw, his putts to save par have been much more steady.

I think most reasonable people will be able to tell the average BPer is definitely not ok in that situation.

The sounds of tearing, popping and screaming will give it away.

Need @jwinslow to sign up on Yahoo and we'll probably still have one spot available, given some haven't logged into BP in quite awhile.

If anyone is interested, let me know. Thanks!

Just made the cut at -3. Shot a 68, 69 tied for 64th place; the leader is in at -12 after 2 rounds. At least if he completes the tournament he'll get another paycheck. He has now made the cut in 7 of his last 10 tournaments.

Would’ve been a great day for a rain-out.

The Reds had a chance to hit home runs at the plate, and they. They hit the home runs without anyone else on base. And that has made all the difference.

Neal will be playing the weekend at the Wyndham Championship. At -4 after two rounds with an expected cut line of -3. Hopefully, he can string a couple more good rounds together and make some real money.

McClelland takes swipe at Indiana despite Hoosiers' recent national title​

Indiana won college football's national championship just a few months ago. Purdue hasn't won a national championship of any kind in 16 years. The facts didn't stop new Boilermakers athletic director Tommy McClelland from taking a shot at Purdue's instate rival.

"Every recruit, every current student athlete will hear this message repeatedly -- we are here to win championships," McClelland said Thursday during his introductory news conference. "If you don't want to win championships, go to Indiana."

Purdue hasn't won an NCAA national championship in any sport since the women's golf team in 2010. It remains the school's only national championship this millennium.

"The future of Purdue athletics is incredibly bright," said McClelland, who previously was the athletic director at Rice. "I am ready to get to work."

More appropriate Purdue AD quote would have been: “We lose. Google us.”

You can't have 10 maniacs on a staff but you do need a couple

CTE

He's extremely serious. You need a couple of those guys on a staff.

Birm and Austin said he was taking snaps opposite Smith on the outside. Paraphrasing they said he looked impressive not only in intermediate but downfield too - and made a beautiful contested catch.

He might be a dude.

I think you’ll find that he sucks in pretty much any situation, not just RISP.

I think it has to do with the fact he isn’t any good but I am not 100% sure.
