Incurable smart-ass. Incredibly masochistic sports fan. Scientist in a former life. Just as opinionated, but not nearly this chatty in person.

#GVerse What a lovely tribute! #RobReiner Incredibly powerful and moving!

I have yet to meet any of the people in that first category. This thing is amazing (but can get a bit heavy).
there's two kind of people in the world: the people who see the Battery Daddy and think it's a useless, possibly even joke-gift type product and people like me who instantly recognize it as one of the best things I've ever purchased: amzn.to/4ja84eH

I don’t see how the CFP doesn’t find a way to bar G5 teams after today. Bummer for me as a G5 enjoyer but this is brutal.

Okay James Madison. No pressure, but if this game isn't at least competitive, you might be the last G5 team we ever see in the playoffs.

Look. I'm as big of a college football fan as anybody, but I'm not sure how you can watch this A&M/Miami game and make the argument "you know what this system needs? More teams." with a straight face.
