OT New Random Thread Pt. 3

Texas friends,
I'll be living in Houston for 8 weeks this summer. I'm so excited!! Then hopefully I'll be in Dallas for 3.5 months next Spring (hello NCA!). I think Texas is where I belong lol. I've been to both cities countless times since I have family there but if anyone has any tips/advice they would like to share I would appreciate it! I'm especially nervous for the heat in Houston this summer since I hate it, but I'll be in a hospital all day every day so that should help.

Quick question, so on my team this year we had to pay I think like 60 or 70 dollars for sneakers, Nike pros, and a shirt in place of uniforms. I'm not finishing the season because there's just too much drama and unnecessary problems with the team. My coach sent a text asking me to return my shorts and shirt. I never even got my shirt and why am I being asked to return something I had to pay for?

Obviously if u never got them and she is asking for u to return them then she is not organized and should not b coaching. Good luck!

NAU is Northern Arizona University. That's where the Ski Bowl mountain is located. Near the southern rim of the Grand Canyon.

Thank you.

Wonder how much the Patriots will wind up
paying the equipment managers to take the fall for DeflateGate.

Admittedly I am not from America and I know absolutely nothing about America football so please excuse me if this is the stupidest question ever, and I am quoting you simply because it seems like you know what you're talking about.

You say deflated balls are easier to grip so it is an unfair advantage. But then is it not easier to grip for both teams? So does the advantage one team gains not equal the advantage that the other team gains?

Each team is responsible for providing their own footballs for offense (kicking balls are separate). So the Colts footballs for offense are different than the Patriots. QBs have preferences for how they like their footballs (Aaron Rodgers likes his more inflated, Eli Manning likes his scuffed up) so they provide their own and the refs inspect them before the game to make sure they'll valid. This talks about it a bit from a former ball boy:

Deflate-Gate: An NFL Ball Boy's Perspective on Preparing Footballs - NBC News


"We would then work with the quarterbacks to customize the balls to their liking. This involved scrubbing them with stiff horsehair brushes to rub off the leather's slippery silicone sheen, and occasionally inflating or deflating the balls a very small amount, which I believe is legal to a degree. Quarterbacks are very particular about the way a ball feels in their hand, and we worked meticulously to match their particular preferences," Kester said.

Two hours before kickoff, he would bring the balls to the referees' locker room for inspection.

"I recall them having a pressure gauge in the locker room, but most often they just squeezed the balls, turned them over in their hands a few times each, and inspected the laces. I don't recall them ever rejecting one of our balls," he said.

"My thought process was, 'Let's get the balls exactly the way our quarterback wants them, and if the refs reject one or two before the game, no big deal. But there's no harm giving them our ideal balls and hoping they make it through inspection.'"

It's girl scout cookie season...

A news story a couple weeks ago was about how the are new Girl Scout cookies that are like low fat or something. Listen, if I'm buying Girl Scout cookies, I'm not going to skimp on fat or calories. I want the real deal. Give me liberty or give me death. (I know that quote was not about Girl Scout cookies but oh well.) But their new Gluten Free cookie is an awesome idea! The Girl Scout organization is so cool and so up to date on modern issues. I love it. Boy Scouts take note.

I cannot wait to buy my weight in cookies.

A classmate of mine committed suicide this morning. I don't think I have ever been so shocked and sad before in my life.

My cps' have an acquaintance in their freshman class who made an attempt on Wednesday night. She is a really sweet girl with a boatload of family drama who seems to look for attention and love in all the worst ways.

I hope she is okay.

I am sorry for everyone's losses.

I will never understand how or why they have gotten two different names. When I lived in Nevada, they were Caramel Delights. Then we moved to the Midwest and they're called samoas.

@jacqui_perez - strength and understanding to you and your friends.

I never even knew this until this very moment. Mind. Blown.

They were samoas when I lived in Virginia and then caramel delights in Missouri, but I think they might've gone to Samoas now. Everything had simpler names that actually described them when I first moved here though... I like the fun ones better!

There are two different bakeries that make the girls scout cookies. Some of the names are owned by the bakeries.
