If you like the Kolsch, try their Helles style lager. It's dangerously drinkable.
Bud Foster, above, demonstrates how far up the asses of the Buckeye offense he intends to stick his boot.
Schlafly's Kolsch just won the Washington Post's Beer Madness reader' poll to be named the best craft beer in America. This is notable to me because a) Schlafly is my second-favorite craft brewery, and b) an IPA didn't win.
I'm a self-avowed hophead, but I am starting to feel a little burned out on them. I began to realize the IPA craze was reaching a saturation point when I visited the River Arts District in Asheville last summer and one of the microbreweries had two windows to order at, one for IPAs and one for everything else.
Also notable that the beer Schlafly beat out to make it to the final round was Devil's Backbone Vienna Style Lager, and the beer it ultimately won against was a saison.
Not saying IPAs are going anywhere, nor should they, but I'm glad to see other styles well represented.
What are some of your favorite non-IPA craft beers?
Our official colors are Chicago maroon and burnt orange.
Also, I'm an idiot.

Dear self,
In the future, abstain from commenting on TKP until you've had your coffee. Things will go better all around.

Is that also the shirt or Jersey you wear when you yell at kids to stay off your lawn?
I was bummed to see El Guadalupe close in Blacksburg. They had a chicken dish with chorizo that was really good. I know it wasn't authentic Mexican, but I had a lot of fond memories there.
I remember a while back, two or three years leand I can't remember if it was here or Tech Sideline, I floated the idea that we didn't land top DEs because Wiles didn't know how to coach them. He is accustomed to teaching a very specific style of play, and if blue chip DEs come in with a different style of play he can't coach them.
I've refined my opinion a bit on Wiles since then. It isn't just him as a position coach, it's the entire defense that requires a very specific role from our DEs, and twitch is valued above almost all other measurables. Larger DEs almost never have the twitch to be what we need DEs to be.
I've never understood the handwringing over our DE recruiting, because the recruits who grade out high in our preferred skill set tend to not be highly rated by the recruiting services as a prototypical DE. Wiles knows what he wants, and it doesn't mesh well with how the services rank DE recruits.
So I don't worry about recruiting rankings at that position. It sucked that we missed on Sweat, but to me it was because he was someone Wiles thought could play DE in this system, not because he was a five star. I value Wiles' judgement more than 247, in other words.
(Credit where credit's due, it was French's analysis that made me realize all this.)
Depends on who the "all" are in "castrate them all." The assumption here is that it is in reference to all men. In which case, fuck them. But if they're talking about violent sexual offenders, that's a different argument. Especially considering how poor the rehabilitation rates for sex offenders is.
The Nazis were responsible for the deaths of eight million people through the administration of chemical weapons, grotesque medical experiments, and brutal killings for the macabre enjoyment of onlookers.
I have down voted your comment for drawing that sick parallel, and were there an ignore option on TKP I would have used it. That comment has no place on this forum.
Thanks for clarifying. That traditionally has not been the intended usage by those I've encountered using the term "feminazi." I appreciate your response.
Yes, I agree with your assessment. But then again, I'm not someone who gets really bent out of shape when we miss on 5 star DEs. Wiles has proven he can manufacture stars from lower-rated recruits there. It would be NICE get them, don't get me wrong, but I don't think it's as big a threat to the program to miss there than at corner, for instance. In other words I think we would have been worse off had we missed on Mook instead of Sweat, and again it's because of our system.
And I hate pronouns.
Leg for "nucleated."
FWIW, I interpreted French's answer to mean, "If Foster landed Bosa, Foster would play Bosa anywhere Bosa wanted."
Which I turn I thought meant that we will attract 5* DE recruits who can play DE the way we require it to be played.
In turn, you are correct that we might not be top pick for a lot of blue chip DE recruits because we will still require them to earn the position once they arrive. If another school guarantees you'll stay at DE and we don't, a lot of recruits will go elsewhere.
Having said that, I prefer the way we do it. We're a system defense. We can't be successful having DEs that don't fit the bill in Foster's system, so IMO we're better off molding lower ranked recruits with the necessary twitch and skill set than we would be playing NFL caliber DEs who might not be good fits in the system.
And finally, regarding Teller, I remember his high school coach said he might be very good on defense, but he could be a Pro Bowl offensive lineman. He was only considering schools who would give him a shot on defense, and we did give him a shot. But I think he would up exactly where he needs to be.
No argument. But April fool's day isn't really about efficient use of resources.
Yeah that's the typical reaction.
Not if you had someone really good scouting for locations. So much of that book takes place in a rural setting and all the interviews are indoors.
I'm still pissed we didn't get the Battle of Yonkers and the implementation of the Raj Square tactic. And what's his name that lived in Antarctica who tried to sell a vaccination for "African rabies" during the outbreak.
The best pranks are the simplest. My favorite is a small piece of scotch tape over the mic of the office phone handset or swapping a few keys on the keyboard for hunt-and-peck typists.
Mayo in cream filed donuts is a good one.
The book could have been adapted into a beautiful miniseries, with each episode being a different interview. As soon as I heard they were doing a standard film with a central protagonist, I lost faith. Then when the footage leaked of the running zombies, I knew it would be INO.
I would love to see Max Brooks brought on a a consultant on Fear the Walking Dead, because he's so good at laying out a completely plausible outbreak of a zombie apocalypse.
My favorite appetizer is queso fundido, and my favorite dish is usually a seafood burrito. I love Mexican style seafood. The traditional spices really complement fish and shrimp.
I LIKE this theory. A lot. Leg, sir.
By huge I mean solid, probably what you mean by meathead. Adlard always drew him with the square jaw, thick neck, barrel chest. He was obviously a guy who lifted, as compared to the much more typical build of Rick. I always thought John Bernthal looked a lot smaller than his comic counterpart.
