I’ll agree with others that 2-3 days is all you need if not too much time.
There is an area 3 hours north where you can go whale watch.
I’d go to Montréal for half the trip. We enjoyed both cities last fall

I heard the OWGR still doesn’t want to rank it
They were missing like 6-8ish criteria to be considered by the OWGR so unless the governing bodies change their criteria LIV is still short of being considered even with the change
It just follows the books. In general slough house gets activated to stop something that is generally somehow enacted or caused by England
re: Is this Epic (medical records/MyChart) outage affecting anyone else?

I'm actually surprised Epic isn't completely connected across institutions. I use Baton Rouge Clinic for most of my healthcare but occasionally need to go into the Ochsner system for things. These systems don't seem connected in any way. Why aren't they connected? It seems like it would be pretty helpful for all of your files to be in one place, accessible by all of your healthcare providers.
Been mentioned but Epic can be hosted by the hospital/provider or a 3rd party. Super expensive to maintain yourself, while 3rd party there are better options with redundancy but not one sole provider.
Without seeing what happened I would bet this was self hosted
re: Ten college coaches' buy outs

Im with you. At some point there arent really any "cant miss" hires.
If ADs were more consistent about nailing their hires and we had a proven record of coaches being good for 10+ years outside of a small handful, then it might make sense.
I would almost rather be able to fire fast and cheap until I find the right guy, then go a little heavier after proven if I needed to.
I might be jaded from paying Gus, Harsin, and not maybe not having the cash to fire Freeze, though

not well known but one I experienced.
While with the Rangers had some older minor leaguers tell me this one:
Pitcher named Jose Reyes showed up to instructional league one fall at 19 years old. (small group of 30-40 younger players in a developmental setting)
Same guy shows up for spring training... he now says he is like 16 or 17 and his name is..... Edison Volquez

re: Favorite unfounded rumors and conspiracies in sports

I dont remember all the specifics, but there were multiple rumors flying around about Mike Norvell either gambling or having really nasty personal/potential sexual allegations that kept bigger programs from interviewing him while at Memphis
re: Here's a crazy baseball physics question...
Posted by upstate on 9/2/25 at 8:39 pm to carguymatt
In the scenario you lay out the pitcher is throwing a fastball, so the ball is spinning backwards toward home. (Seams are rotating from the bottom of the ball toward the top at the batter.)
For a batter to tip it and it hit the backstop straight back, they almost certainly would have to tip the bottom of the ball. If you tip the top it’ll likely force the ball down more and at that speed it is hard to spin it enough to keep level AoA of the ball.
Therefore the batter tipping the ball would actually cause the ball to reverse its spin if anything, causing it to lose energy
Hope that makes sense

re: Kane Wommack on lack of effort: "We are going to allow our players to get it fixed."

The issue is it is so night and day from how Sabans staff would’ve reacted it makes it that much worse
I’d imagine some big boosters are blowing up Greg Byrne at the moment

Ok I’m gonna zag… in an ideal world what Womack is saying is correct. The best teams police themselves and hold themselves to a standard.
I’m not sure this bama team has the leadership or ability to do so, which is an issue.
I don’t disagree that they were prepared for what fsu ran… Gus really didn’t add new wrinkles… which means they were prepped and still got gashed. That would also scare the heck out of me

The anchorage is the best restaurant in town.
If you don’t mind going outside of downtown any Stella’s location is really good, and I recommend Mr Crisp
A fun late afternoon place is The Cheese Wheel. Cool owner that brings in great cheese. Cheese, meats, wine make for a fun happy hour

It’s completely incorrect that the ncaa prevented kids from making money off their name. Every single person had the option to not VOLUNTARILY become an ncaa athlete and they can make all the money off their name they want
This is incorrect. They literally threatened a kicker at Ucf to shut down his YouTube channel or be ineligible.
The ncaa is as culpable as anyone in this. Schools too. Go to a college program 10 years ago and see how often the “student athlete” actually did the student part
These kids have been treated like pros for years, and because they didn’t want to make them employees they created a structure that cannot be governed.
Two fixes are to change the structure (quickly) or hope rich people stop throwing money at it
re: Why do some golfers “lose It” when they are still in their prime?
Posted by upstate on 3/7/25 at 6:34 pm to Mingo Was His NameO
Dead on about most guys really being 18 month runs.
Also think golf as a game is changing. Equipment has these guys hitting it forever but I also think now the way they train you may see shorter careers and more akin to other sport type longevity and volatility.
Speith is great but he always sprayed it some, was shorter, and now is a touch older. He has changed to get longer but you got guys like aberg rolling around now that just have a different gear.
Think it’s gonna be harder and harder for many to keep their top end at the top of the game for very long

Having Vinci do vignettes and come out and drop a match right away was a death blow.
WWE really, really needs to bring back jobbers. Almost what tazowa did that night. Give melo a win so if they want to heat him up he has won some
They so often don’t want guys eating clean pins that many dudes don’t ever get clean wins either
The Brooklyn brawler type guy needs to come back

This is correct. You give the pitchers a longer time to stretch out. Will help a ton

If we wanted to do this for a summer trip with kids... any rough ideas on how much time is needed for each city?
