Asheville is pretty much the one place in WNC I try to actively avoid but I hope it bounces back as quickly as possible.

It'll probably take years to get it fully reopened through western NC. The next phase of this disaster is going to be the economic disaster to follow in WNC. Asheville is the economic center of the region and is pretty much the epicenter of the destruction and the Blue Ridge Parkway is the most visited national park in the country. I fear that the economic fallout is going to be massive.

It's not really new. This stuff seemed to start back in my college days in the early '00s when ESPN migrated to pretty much all of their non-live sports, non-SportsCenter content being these screamo opinion shows where they just argue with each other with hot takes.

This. Glad to see Cam doing well but those types of shows are just god awful.

It used to be cheap and old people hate cold. Now it's no longer cheap. Same thing is happening out west in Arizona. Arizona is basically the Florida of the west.

The scheme and play calling can't cover for the lack of talent but what shouldn't be overlooked is that Evero evidently played a major role in the defensive acquisitions. He may be an alright DC but if he sticks around he shouldn't be a part of the scouting process and honestly it's hard to rationalize keeping a coach around who can't contribute to the personnel discussions. It's just part of the job. Like you're the one running this side of the ball. You need to be able to communicate and help identify the types of players you're looking for.

I get it. I'd rather just hit up a brewery. Then you have the added bonus of not being annoyed by a baseball game.

I've seen people say that but I still don't get it. I've been to baseball games live and it's still the same boring poo. It's just an atrocious spectator sport IMO.

Oh Lord, NMSU's QB just got murdered. That hit right there is why the targeting foul exists. Good grief.

Brown can play in any front.

Not trying to be edgy, baseball just really giving sucks.

He was playing DE in our odd alignments

Power is out again here at the house. Back on the generator again. This is probably gonna be the norm for awhile. The whole power grid is basically held together with duct tape and bailing wire right now

I'd rather watch paint dry than watch baseball. Hell, I'd rather watch Panthers football than watch baseball.

New Mexico State vs. Jacksonville State?

This has been the case ever since Ron hyped us all up on the switch to a 3-4 but then proceeded to run the exact same defense we'd been running.

We have a lot of schematic flexibility moving forward simply because we pretty much need an entire new front seven. LOL

I mean, you just gotta be that blunt with some people. That's what they told people on Key West for Irma and a lot of them chose to stay anyway. Like, look... you're probably gonna die and if you survive there will be no help coming anytime soon. You're on your own.

Yeah, for this team with this roster to trade up to draft a RB with a torn ACL in the 2nd round... yeah, this dude better be the second coming of Marshall Faulk.

We need a long term answer at QB and a LOT of help in the defensive front seven. We can talk about secondary all we want but as long as we can't rush the passer and can't stop the run we could have the 1st team All Pro squad as our secondary and our overall D would still suck.

At least we have a shot of being #1 at something

Pretty much what we're seeing. The only thing that has surprised me so far is that Tepper gave the green light to bench Bryce so soon.

I went through a period of this. When I was younger I smoked like Willie Nelson. Me and my dumbass friends had this idiot savant idea on high school that if we just stayed high then no one would realize we were high and by god we pretty much accomplished it. We'd smoke on the way to school, smoke at lunch, smoke on the way home from school, etc. then I had to quit for several months to get a summer job in Rocky Mountain National Park. After quitting smoking would make me super anxious. It wasn't cool at all. These days I actually mix my "real weed" with CBD flower. This new poo is just too potent IMO. I'm not 19 anymore. I'm just trying to chill. I don't need to unlock the cosmos with a puff or two. LOL

I doubt it will be for long. The majority of total THC in marijuana is in the form of THCA. That's why it has to be "decarbed" meaning heated up to covert it from THCA to THC. That's why you have to smoke it or vape it or cook with it, etc. Just go eat a bud and you won't get high because that THC isn't in a bioavailable form. This new THCA flower has just been developed to have less than 0.3% of its total THC in the form of THC. For all intents and purposes it's "real weed". I expect that laws will evolve to address it. It's just another example that most of our laws are written by politicians who have a fundamental ignorance of the subjects they're trying to regulate.
