    Anyone else opt for the Manning commentary tonight? I don’t understand why they have to show them. I’d prefer heard and not seen.

    When I think about hosting the 49ers in a divisional round game it brings up a somewhat painful memory of 1/4/97. Not regarding the game itself, but the fact that I had the opportunity to go watch the Badgers beat the Hoosiers coached by Knight in The Fieldhouse for the last time that day. I struggled with the choice and chose stay home to watch the Packers because I was nuts about them.

    I’m staying tuned in case we get to see him crying at the end.

    Buffalo will call off the dogs after this score, right?
  5. AKCheesehead
    Going for it on 4th & 8 roughly 4 minutes before halftime seemed like an obvious choice not to do, but it might have been New England’s only option to give themselves a chance.

    I agree. If anything, you might even be selling 2019 a little short on its glory. All of the major sports teams for Wisconsin had good years. Everyone was relevant. There were a lot of really fun moments in 2019. I had a good time. For the Brewers (89-73) there was the return of Craigtember, somehow going 20-7 for the month despite losing Yelich on the 10th. What a ride that was. Badger football (10-4) played OSU tough in the B10 title game, went and had a tough Rose Bowl losing to the Ducks by 1. We got to watch Jonathan Taylor be Jonathan Taylor all season. Fortunately for me I missed the Illinois game. Packers (13-3) Great start to LaFleur's tenure, especially after the wet fart of a season they were coming off of. I pay a lot less attention to the NBA than I do the other sports on this list, but the Bucks (60-22) in Budenholzer's first year obviously had a great season. Badger basketball (23-11) 4th in Big 10, lost in the first round. Remember though, this was coming off the '17-'18 season where they missed the tournament and were sub .500 for the first time in 20 years, when the fire Gard talk was running wild. That season was reassurance that the program was going to be in good shape. [sarcasm]It was just a warmup for their NCAA championship the following season[/sarcasm]

    Hopefully folks are having continued success and health improvements by carrying around less extra weight. I've been sticking with the two fasts per week, and moderate exercise that I can keep with being in my mid 40s and having a busy schedule. For the past few weeks there has been about an 8 lb variation between my lightest and heaviest weigh ins of the week. If I extrapolate from that that my "true" weight is in the middle ground of those two extremes, I'm down 31 lbs since I began with all this. Obviously worth it, and it's been relatively easy for me. I've got a little ways to go before I may try switching to 1 fast per week.

    I agree. Playing for the tie strategically would have made some sense and certainly would have made me giggle. But it would be a very bad look.
  9. AKCheesehead
    A shank end of time fg attempt would work too. Bonus if it clangs off an upright.
  10. AKCheesehead
    What a week for the Badgers. Smart to miss that free throw. Too bad Alando wasn’t there to see it.
  11. AKCheesehead
    Those links both detail a lot of what I mentioned upthread. One other thing I’ll mention is that straight gas, particularly 87, can be a little tough to find especially if you are traveling. Pure gas.org is really helpful and they have an app. The app has room for improvement but it is definitely useful.
  12. AKCheesehead
    Hate to break it to you, but in almost all cars, ethanol free does nothing for fuel economy. Unless you own a sports car or a turbo engine anything over 87 (or the equivalent wherever one lives) has absolutely no benefit for fuel economy. A manufacturer tunes a vehicle to a specific grade level, almost always your standard 87. Putting in premium grade will not make your engine run any different or any more efficient. Could it MAYBE make your engine last longer due to build up? I mean, maybe, but 99% of consumers probably don’t own their car to ever care. And even then, calculate how much more you are spending over 150k+ miles. You could probably buy two new engines for your car. Plush you are mistaken. Gas with ethanol added absolutely gives worse fuel economy. That is a fact, it contains less energy and you get less output from it. Don’t take my word for it, check for yourself. I believe you are confusing ethanol free with premium (much of which does happen to be ethanol free.) I’m not talking about buying premium grade I’m talking about buying ethanol free. Higher octane doesn’t equal more mileage that’s true. Octane refers to the fuel’s volatility, higher octane resists premature detonation under higher compression. Certain high compression engines need premium but none of mine do so I don’t waste my money on it. As for the economics you stated, nope. Ethanol free regular gas costs me about a dollar more, sometimes $1.50 more, for a 15 gallon top off and will get me a bit over 1 more mile per gallon. I still come out ahead.

    I’m kind of hoping for a classic Frantrum tonight. One more call like that Davison foul could be all it takes. I had seats a few rows behind the Iowa bench when he blew his stack in 2014 and it was glorious.
  14. AKCheesehead
    Yes the burning of ethanol does produce less emissions. But that doesn't account for all the emissions that have to occur in order to produce ethanol, nor the greater environmental impacts such as deforestation, erosion, pollution and water use that come with the inflated corn or cane production. As for economy, there are a couple of things to consider. Ethanol gas costs less, but also gives you 3-4% worse fuel economy. The place I gas up when I'm down visiting my folks is $2.92 right now, so that's about $.07/gallon more expensive. Completely worth it already. Then there's the time and money savings down the road on longer life of my vehicle, not needing to replace fuel filters so often, better performance. I only buy ethanol gas if I have no choice.
  15. AKCheesehead
    As far as gas goes, I buy ethanol-free as much as possible. Better fuel economy, better for your vehicle, and better for the environment.

    The article says her record is 52 KTs in 1 day. It doesn't make any sense to me, but for some reason I'm glad there's someone out there doing it.
  17. AKCheesehead
    Has ben said he’s retiring after this? I would have liked to see it end in an L for the guy. Oh well.
  18. AKCheesehead
    Hell yes. Those scrambles in the 11th minute of the 2nd half so pivotal.
  19. AKCheesehead
    Yeah I certainly wouldn’t bet on them to win this one. But you just never know.

    Pizza

    AKCheesehead replied to homer's topic in Off-Topic Forum

    I agree that the pre-cooked, pre-formed puppy kibble looking sausage is garbage. I’m talking about pizza made with raw Italian sausage, pinched and placed by hand. To me that blows out of the water whatever a pepperoni pizza is trying to be. I’ll admit I like the two together pretty well (even with bad pepperoni) but pepperoni as the only meat topping to me is flimsy and boring. Pizza as a food is generally not very healthy or friendly to the waist line. So when I treat myself to it it needs to be good.
  21. AKCheesehead
    2 minutes and 3 timeouts I’ll be disappointed if they don’t score here.
  22. AKCheesehead
    I would have liked a run on 3rd if you’re going for it on 4th.

    Pizza

    AKCheesehead replied to homer's topic in Off-Topic Forum

    Apparently this is an unpopular opinion I have. Every pizza ad I see on tv shows a pepperoni pizza. In my book, Italian sausage is vastly superior to pepperoni as a topping. I know there does exist high quality pepperoni and I like it well. But the vast majority of pepperoni is basically large diameter thinly sliced Slim Jims. Good sausage brings so much more to a slice of pizza than pepperoni does.

    Couple beauties for Adams though. Should’ve had 7 but not a bad start.
  25. AKCheesehead
    Time for an osu turnover!
