Ferrum Aeternum

I got this for PS5, after having way more fun with D3 on console than I ever did on PC. Played through the last beta and really enjoyed it. I agree that the MMO-like aspects didn’t detract from the experience. Mainly just folks helping out with events and a few hanging around town. I haven’t played a lot of PoE but the shared world felt more like that than a true MMO.

It’s a silly debate, but at least we got this gem out of it

Bama goes down and Houston’s in trouble!

Unbelievable!!!!

This has been a very confusing story to follow. This AL.com piece, which provides the most detailed description of events that I’ve seen, certainly seems to implicate Miller in some fashion. Miller’s windshield was apparently struck by multiple gunshots? His vehicle was blocking the victim’s car in? “Wrong place, wrong time” indeed. https://www.al.com/news/2023/02/darius-miles-texted-brandon-miller-to-bring-gun-used-to-kill-jamea-jonae-harris-police-testify.html

Nothing to be ashamed of. Sports fandom is a lot like a (toxic?) long-term relationship, with all the highs and lows therein. The emotional push and pull can make you a wreck. It’s natural and healthy to eventually recognize that these are literally just games that we as fans have no control over, and there are a lot of more important things in life. it’s also easy for me to say that as a person whose CBB team lost to frickin’ UNA last month. My dad and I had a good laugh over that one at Christmas.

Saw this post last night and thought of you.

News broke yesterday that Mike Leach had a medical emergency and was airlifted to Jackson. A lot of rumors since then, but the Jackson newspaper just reported he suffered a massive heart attack and may have serious brain damage. If so, what a tragedy for all involved and for college football as a whole. I really hope he pulls through. ETA: Official word this morning that he’s passed away. Shocking loss of one of CFB’s greatest characters.

Chaos continues with K-State over TCU. Awesome game, both teams played great down the stretch.

After being spurned by Kiffin, Auburn has now hired Hugh Freeze as HC. Their fans don’t seem too thrilled, and I can’t blame them. Yes, Hugh is a very good football coach and an offensive innovator who beat Saban twice with inferior rosters. He’s also a well-documented scumbag and weirdo with a bad habit of DMing strangers on Twitter, including…alleged sexual assault victims: Ian McCaw is Liberty’s AD. If that name rings a bell, he’s the same dude who oversaw the Art Briles years at Baylor. Truly “Jesus-like.” I guess Auburn will stoop to any level if it means a chance to beat Alabama.

This is making up for those two decades of no playoffs in Seattle.

Who had St Peter’s in the sweet 16?

Incredible. Bracket demolished by Peacocks!

In non-tournament news, Mike White is jumping ship from UF to UGA, in what could prove an upgrade for both programs. White is a good dude and a solid coach, definitely a step up from Tom Crean (lol), but he probably hit his ceiling with the Gators. I doubt he could’ve withstood anymore mediocre seasons there, but he’ll make UGA’s program more competitive. I’d heard over the weekend that he was a possible exit strategy away from Kermit Davis at Ole Miss. As good ole boy type hires go, I certainly wouldn’t have minded it.

Lunardi thinks Auburn will fall to a 2 now. They haven’t looked too impressive over the last month or so.
