re: Time to be fair and move the SEC baseball tournament to Memphis
Posted by Victor R Franko on 5/23/26 at 5:38 pm to ColoradoElkHerd
IMO all the SEC conferences championship games should rotate around. Maybe play 2 or 4 years in one place, then move on to another location.

re: Ranking the SEC in terms of BBQ

Barbecue was basically invented in North and South Carolina. Everywhere else just put their own spin on it.
Bull shite.
Cattle, chicken, and pigs were not native to the western Hemisphere. Christopher Columbus and the Spanish explorers/Conquistadors introduced these animals in the late 1400s and early 1500s. Most introduced through Mexico and ultimately through Texas.
Barbecue comes from he Spanish word Barbacoa.
Barbecue in North America was created by the Spaniards and Aztec indians in what is now Mexico. They used the cooking in a pit or oven to slow roast seasoned meat.At least the pork, beef, and chicken we're familiar with as barbecue today. This was happening about 150 years before the first settlers of the Carolinas. About 250 years before the Declaration of Independence.
And one more thing....THEY DIDN'T USE ANY DAMN SAUCE!

Delete the tournament, play an additional weekend of conference. 33 conference games total for the championship.
Or, 30 games of conference and an additional weekend of OOC play.

Edit: Thinking on it a bit, is all this "close to a deal, almost in agreement with Iran" an attempt to cause more infighting within Iran's fractured regime? More friction and infighting might weaken Iran's rulers and perhaps expose new weaknesses to be exploited.

You'd probably be happier if you spent less time thinking about this Iran thing and more time counting your money.

Is Oklahoma supposed to be good at softball?
YUP, They're pretty good. Beat every SEC team that managed to make it to the finals. Over the last 11 years they'll end up National Champions more than 50% of the time. Yeah, they good, Shamoan.
Over the last 11 years (2016–2026), Oklahoma Sooners softball compiled a dominant overall record of 577-62 (.903), winning six Women's College World Series (WCWS) championships, including an unprecedented NCAA four-peat from 2021 to 2024.
Year-by-Year Records (2016–2026)
2026: 51-9 (20-4 SEC)
2025: 52-9 (17-7 SEC)
2024: 59-7 (22-5 Big 12) National Champions, defeated Texas
2023: 61-1 (18-0 Big 12) National Champions, defeated Florida St.
2022: 59-3 (17-1 Big 12) National Champions, defeated Texas
2021: 56-4 (16-1 Big 12) National Champions, defeated Florida. St.
2020: 20-4 (0-0 Big 12) Season canceled in March due to COVID-19
2019: 57-6 (18-0 Big 12) WCWS Runner-up
2018: 57-5 (18-0 Big 12) WCWS
2017: 61-9 (17-1 Big 12) National Champions, defeated Florida
2016: 57-8 (17-1 Big 12) National Champions, defeated Auburn
2013: National Champions, defeated Tennessee
2000: National Champions, defeated UCLA
Edit, As a Texas fan and Alumnus, it's always good to rag on Joklahoma. However, I can't bring myself to feel anything but respect for Oklahoma Softball and what Patty Gasso and her staff have accomplished during her tenue.

that's why I made the statement. Probably tons of weapons crossing the border without any inspection. Food my arse.
I guess it's to much to expect that during this time of conflict some effort would be made to stop weapons distribution on Iran's part. We should probably just bomb the roads and vehicles as they cross.
Space Force is probably tracking these vehicles ot a building or warehouse. Something that covers the unloading and reloading into smaller vehicles for distribution, under cover of course.

re: QR Codes to Replace LA Brake Tag Stickers.
Posted by Victor R Franko on 5/23/26 at 6:11 am to SlidellCajun
At the end of video, politician says QRC is for officer to gather information on vehicle, insurance, stolen or not, and safety of officer to not approach driver without knowing about the vehicle. Isn't all this information available from the license plate? What's the change?
In addition, why have that sticker right next to the driver on the front driver side windshield? If it's truly for officer safety the officer could stay in their patrol car and call in the plate, just like on Adam12 and Dragnet. If they insist on having the QRC, then put it on the rear plate or passenger side rear window so that officer doesn't have to approach driver and get blasted with a 12 gage right through the windshield.
:dunno:
Thinking about it some more...This is just asking for more screw ups of information by having two sources of information on the vehicle, the QRC code and the License Plate. Do one or the other, not both. Maybe have the QRC code embedded in the plate if absolutely necessary. Change to vehicle ownership requires a plate change anyway.

Texas probably already has a national seed. Texas starters, pitching especially could use 8-12 days rest. What's to gain in playing this or another game? Maybe a next to worthless title and trophy, or a broken foot to your best pitcher.

Groundskeeper with the horns sign ?? at end of video clip. Not expecting much of an advantage.
That field looks saturated in clip. Amazing if it's playable later today.
