St Mary’s over Alabama and Colorado State over Maryland seem to be the popular upset picks for today’s games.

It’s funny to see all the Texas hate here when arguably more expats from Louisiana live in Texas than any other state in the country.

Dallas and Houston by far and away have so many lsu graduates and their alumni base is huge.

Ogunquit is so underrated. Make sure to visit.
It’s not a bad ballpark overall. Not to mention way more amenities and things to do within a 2 mile radius than there is to do outside of Alex Box.

Can’t believe how much they charge for a 4 pack these days. Well in the $20’s.
5 1,000 yard seasons.

First player in NFL history with 1,000 receiving yards in three consecutive seasons with three different teams.

He never had double digit touchdowns in a season. Is this maybe one of the reasons why he was never named to a pro bowl?

I’ve seen a lot of brackets with this pick.

I know that our taste buds change as we age but the market for juicy IPAs is just way too saturated. It’s overwhelming.
After trying over a 1,000 beers throughout the past decade or so, I now stick to Abita Amber and Sam Adams Boston Lager. To me they’re both the most consistent and reliable beers out there.
I have BYU going to elite 8 in my bracket. I can see them making a deep run.

Interesting take, but I think you’re wrong.
For me it was the countless number of new breweries that were popping up everywhere. Nothing about it felt unique or microbrewery about it. The same vapid vibe pretty much no matter where you are.

Also, the egregious variations of over saturated IPA options that just got plain ridiculous. The traditional west coast IPA that was awesome not even 10-15 years ago, just vanished and seem to have been replaced by New England/juice flavored IPAs.

Giants should draft him. They really need a QB.
