[quote]Forgot to mention russia is getting paid in rubles for their oil and the ruble is the best performing currency in the world vs the dollar in 2022[/quote]Exchange rate was 81-82 prior to the sanctions, now USD/RUB is 64. That's some pretty effective checkers. Also Russia will have all of easte...

[quote]The oil part is not speculation. Both China and especially India both have Putin bent over and putting it to him. Income from oil has dropped substantially for Russia while it has soared for China.[/quote]You seem smart: [link=(https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-12/russia-oil-...

Cameron Rising has chunks of QB's like Bo Nix in his stool. Oregon's QB was trash last year so it will definitely be an upgrade. This is a decent ranking in the article below, but I'd put Rising and Robinson at #1 and #2. Rising is in a run-first offense but has a 147 QBR, 20 TD/5 INT. Williams, ...

[quote]Holy shite - I just watched Full Metal Jacket, and pretty sure he's in it! I never realized that...[/quote]I looked it up... he was. He was Lt. Touchdown. His name is Ed O'Ross and he's been a metric ton of movies/TV shows and I've never noticed. I actually thought they may have found a real R...

[quote]Stoker's[/quote] The Stoker's lived four houses down from me growing up in Auburn. We lived on Peachtree Lane and they lived on Azalea Drive. Brandon Stoker was the closest in age to me but still a bit older, and there was an older brother and two sisters as well IIRC. I never went to Stoker'...

[quote]Putin gambled and is at least getting by temporarily in beating the economic sanctions. [/quote]Putin and many Austrian-aligned economists believe that the GDP calculus to measure the size and health of a country's economy is flawed and incomplete. This contra-theory to GDP measures has been ...

[quote]Their style is blitzkrieg, and nobody knows why they are deviating yet.[/quote]Russian military battleground strategy is the opposite of blitzkrieg, and has been since about 1920. Look up Deep Battle Strategy. Not understanding this one element of the Russian military is why many halfwit moro...

[quote]unless you are going to the airport at 6am or 10pm at night, no chance is your Uber $50 and only 45 minutes.[/quote]I can get from Auburn to Hartsfield Int'l faster (75-90 minutes) than most people on the north side of Atlanta that are outside the perimeter. ...

6-4 AU Final, 2-0 lead in the series....

Great win coming from 4 down in the 1st! - I'd give the game ball to Sheehan. Down 4-0, 4 innings of shutout ball with 4 K's and 1 BB. If he has his feel back like he showed today, he's a legitimate top line (4th) starter, which we'll need in the SEC & NCAA tournaments. This is setting-up like Ho...

6-4 Auburn, to the ^8th....

4-4 AU/UA ^7th....

4-3 Alabama, going to the ^6th....

[quote]I never once saw Cambridge dribble drive to the basket and his shot was a disaster this past season. [/quote]After Cambridge pulled some spot duty at the 3 and 4 last year and did some banging down low, I wish Bruce would have put him in that role permanently. He is just one of those players ...

I'd give the game ball to Armstrong. He came in after Barnett gave up the dinger with three strong innings. He has that nasty two seamer and didn't walk anyone. Butch mentioned in the postgame that he's been working on some mechanical things for 7-8 weeks and this was the second week straight he'd c...

AU 3 UA 2 Final...

SPOILER: Jerry Edgar (Bosch's detective partner) makes an appearance in EP 6. We'll see if it was just a cameo. He was doing Bosch a pretty big favor....

[quote]the guards become better defenders[/quote]We'll be limited on the upside defensively because of our size. I think even Zep is only 6'1". I don't think Green will ever be a good enough athlete to be a plus defender but I hope he does improve. K.D. is a Hamburgler with steals but he also has is...

FYI, this is how you solve the problem. Pick up the damn phone. From Dinesh: "I had a very nice conversation with @TuckerCarlson today. He assured me he had nothing to do with the texts that were sent to me. We have mended fences and are all good. We both agreed it’s time to focus our energie...
