I think both coaches have proven they're worth their salt. They both hodge podged a roster together in relatively limited time. Figured out what they had and coached their way to some close gritty wins. Excited to see both have continued success and growth. IIRC both teams were picked towards the bottom of the conference and we're pretty well cemented in the upper half finishes. (granted the men's side of the conference has been woefully bad across the board).
Great recommendations, much appreciated. Good to know about the sunscreen.
Any experience using the safari's (pickup trucks with the rears converted to bench seats) to get around St John? My wife's coworker said parking and driving is horrible and that there is a safari stand as soon as you get off the ferry.
Do you recommend any guide book in particular?
I'm WAY behind, but how is the Sierra Nevada? I've seen mixed 12 packs of their NA stuff, but still haven't bought them. I like Athletic's stuff.
Also, throwing in a word for the Lagunita Hop Refresher. Nice, hoppy, cold, zero calories. It's somewhere between a sparkling water and a beer. I think Sierra Nevada makes something like it, stuff like Hop Wtr is good, but expensive if it's not on sale.
Same, though much was forgiven on Sunday night
They are well below our price range.

Loved the first series of that show. Not so much the second. Did you see Master Chef - Pasta?
I deliberately chose not to just spell out the entire last name
Hell yeah, definitely going to do that, thanks!
In the good old days we didn't need both a DC and an OC in the same year decade.
Think we are in big trouble if the 'still coaching' story comes out.
Watch the first episode of Taco Chronicles on Netflix, and go to that place that serves tacos al pastor.
Saw that during the pandemic, and wanted to jump onto a plane to Mexico City RIGHT THEN!
MEH. 😕

Fuck Kellen Moore, I am still sore about that game.
Oh if my wife was on here she could really help you. But I will try.
We are returning there the first week of March (have been one time before). A few quick points.
Get a good guide book ahead of time. My wife did tons of research and she was invaluable to our trip. She knew all the ins and outs and local eats. I would recommend restaurants but it has been years since we were there last.
You will need a vehicle as the island has many beautiful beaches and good snorkeling however they are spread out.
Edit: And go kind of early to the beaches you want to hit. Parking is limited (at least it was last time) which is great if you find a spot.
We rented a jeep on St. John itself as we did not want to ferry a vehicle over. You can rent on St. Thomas and ferry. I don't know how much of a hassle it is or not as we never did before and are not this time as our villa comes with a vehicle provided.
Make sure to research which Reef Safe sunscreens are approved. Don't just trust Amazon to tell you the truth. The sunscreen cannot have any of the three O's in it (oxybenzone, octinoxate and octocrylene). Read labels.
Last time we were there parking in Cruz Bay was very competitive. We rented a villa in the hills and only needed parking whenever shopping or eating in Cruz Bay. The jeep rental company we used (cannot remember who) provided free parking on their lot if you rented with them.
Always say thank you and say good morning or good afternoon to the locals.
If not staying at an all inclusive (which we never have), then provision ahead of time (probably Starfish market) will save you from shopping on your first day there.
If you want to go fishing Google Local Flavor Charters. Captain Cleve is great.
Take a bunch of pictures and enjoy. It is truly a jewel of an island.
Gillie needs his own float for the parade
wow the spreadsheet is coming back to bite me

Appreciate it! Was thinking of taking the train up to Helsingør one day (maybe one night) so may try and squeeze in that art museum on the way back
If it's delayed any longer, we are in UFL coach territory, since we can't hire guys that are "still coaching"
GO BIRDS!
Welp - sounds like the Saints and Kellen Moore are finalizing a deal for him to be their next HC, so I guess we can cross Moore off the list of potentials.
Going to St. John (USVI) for the first week of April. Don't really know much about it. Any recommendations?
Great recs. We were just there last month so I'll throw a few more down...
Drinks/Food:
- In addition to War Pigs, you gotta go to the OG Mikkeller Bar on Viktoriagade. Super cozy/great vibes at night.
- Eat a "BMO" for breakfast (bun with butter and cheese). Can get these at any bakery/coffee shop. Best ones we had were at Coffee Collective and Juno the Bakery. Juno is definitely worth checking out, all the baked goods we had there were awesome.
- Eat some kebab/doner/durum. Just go into whatever place looks good when you walk by on the street.
To do:
- Designmuseum Danmark. They have an entire exhibit just for Danish chairs!
- Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is a good day trip if you're into art. Easy train ride N of the city. Museum is located right on the Øresund-- would be beautiful in May.
CMY wrongfully gets a lot of hate directed at him. He's excelled at doing more with less. Would love to see what he could do with the proper resources...
Early returns on CMD are pretty good. Excited to see where she takes the program.
