I’d think places like Chapel Hill and Lawrence don’t really care a ton about the NBA cup. With Hinkle, they get to stay in an NBA city and explore their own “Field of Dreams” game so to speak. Maybe The Palestra could be used in the future.

Not sure why everyone is shitting on you. Pretty strong correlation here. You have some monsters on Friday and Saturday with swing and miss stuff, and your team can be very, very good.

St. Louis is a shithole with 3 mil metro and supports hockey, I’m sure Houston, being the 5th largest metro in the country, can make it work.

FWIW - I think Austin can do it as well.

You’re right.

Unfortunately, my parents still have a fricking land line. They answer every call when they are home. They haven’t fallen for a scam, but they get upset with the callers. No idea what they think they are going to miss out on when it’s an unfamiliar number.

re: Why couldn’t NOLA be a WC host site?

Have zero sense of scale

It’s an extremely small media market, comparatively. It’s a crime-ridden city, comparatively. And the Superdome is great, but old and probably a bit limited structurally.

There are World Cup games in NYC, Mexico City, LA, Houston, Arlington (DFW), Toronto, Miami, Atlanta, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Philly, Boston, SF. That’s 13 of the 17 largest metro areas in North America.

Seattle isn’t far behind, and Vancouver and KC are also soccer hotbeds within NA.

So…New Orleans is 14 slots below KC in terms of metro size, has no MLS franchise, and is going to be considered why? Because it has a dated, albeit renovated stadium, that can’t utilize a grass field and may not even fit a soccer field.

I’d think maybe a dozen or so US cities would be higher on the list than New Orleans.

I love New Orleans, but the city isn’t hosting the Olympics, an NHL or MLB team, or the WC.

Cities with sights? Plan ahead. If you get tired, just take something out. I tend to overdo it. If I’m in a place like NYC, Boston, Chicago…I want to squeeze in as much as possible.

Destination like a national park or something? Not really. Just pick a thing or two and have fun.

Not sure why you are getting DVed. There are ongoing studies to see if there’s a link between head trauma and ALS.

I can appreciate the guy wanting to chase his dream, and I’m sure that being a Banana can allow you to get a big head. It’s got a massive following.

But the championship he talked about…? Being surprised that life after baseball was a letdown…?

I’ve made a weekend out of Vegas Summer League a few times, but it ranks way below Spring Training in terms of importance. At least The vast majority of guys at Spring Training are playing for said club.

Hooters gave hot girls a platform and opportunity for good tips back in the day. In the era of only fans, a moderately attractive woman can make more money showing her thighs in a pic than she can in a month at work.

I agree with you to an extent, but Frisco wasn’t worried about this issue until it slapped them in the face. Dearborn? Hell, my daughter’s mom bought a house in a beautiful subdivision…but it’s flooded with Indians (dot not feather).

If you continue to pretend it doesn’t impact you, it’ll be too late.

Posted by TexasTiger08 on 6/26/26 at 8:43 pm

I absolutely hate what I see with the mass influx of Somalians, Muslims, etc. It’s not who they are, it’s what they stand for. Their intent is clear, and they are willing to kill for it. I don’t see any average Joe in America willing to do the same. We grew up with different values,

Like many of you, I’ve long stopped caring about being labeled a racist or bigot, but that will only disarm the middle aged white women, not the true enemies of Western Civilization.

Was the call made through the app? I’ve heard of people using ghost phones to call in a swat, but never heard of it involving the app or ring. Did you catch the guy that did it?
