The military colleges had all of the athletes during WWII. Physically fit young men were drafted into the armed services. Those with a head on their shoulders went to the various academies. One of the most dominant teams of all time was the Iowa Pre-Flight Seahawks. They only existed for 3 years, but their .839…

The one that gets my goat is when they talk about “ten win seasons” as though it is the same benchmark as yesteryear. You can have 4 losses and still manage a ten win season these days!

Replied to the wrong person and the edit function has never worked on Kinja for me.

My first thought was doe urine would more effective than any fart spray. 

I tried them in a Coke that wasn’t quite cold enough. They reacted with the carbonation and caused my soda to go flat almost instantaneously. I think they’re just useless all around.

Depends on his job. I drink about a gallon and a half of water in 9 hours at work. Never have to pee until I get home ‘cause I sweat all day.

You should check out some Crimson Tide blogs some time. They lose on average .9 games a year, but after that one loss (always a squeaker against a top 10 team) it’s fire everyone not named Nick and put in all the third string 5 star freshman because clearly these 4 star seniors don’t have the talent to get the job…

I gotta chime in and say you should pass on the MSR Pocket Rocket. It is not very functional in the real world. It’ll boil a liter of water in four minutes only in the most perfect conditions. In doors where there is no wind, at sea level, with warm fuel of the highest quality. It is also very unstable; tipping over…

Peter Thiel did not kill Gawker. Gawker’s own unethical actions killed Gawker. Peter Thiel just carried the bullet.

A lot of Star Wars dorks are complaining that these aren’t Jedi; just humans with glowing swords. I don’t know anything about that. I’m going to be a military history dork and complain about ALL of these ‘ultimate x vs. y’ videos. The answers supposedly given by these videos are completely pointless because they never…

Yeah that kinda annoyed me about the whole Ray Rice thing. Everybody knew what happened. It was widely reported that he punched his fiancee and knocked her unconscious. He was disciplined, they got married, and the world kept turning.

I thought the shutter sound on a smart phone could not be turned off so that Japanese guys can’t stealthily take upskirt photos on staircases.

I’m amused that you have used thousands of urinals in your life, but never figured out how to avoid getting piss on yourself.

That was my experience working fast food as a teenager. Men are more gross than women in general, but women have a capacity for grossness that far outstrips men.

Kinda reminds me of when my fellow Eagles fans crow on about the Cowboys ‘bandwagon’ fans. Like, they haven’t been shit (outside of an isolated season or two) for over twenty years. I’m pretty sure that wagon is empty.

Before the greater internet hive mind decided the only meaning of the word trolling was ‘acting like a troll’, trolling used to have a couple definitions; one of which meant ‘to search around’. I had to alter my vocabulary sometime around 2009-2010 when more and more people kept misunderstanding what I meant when I…

Every try to self officiate a three on three game? Competitive people have an absolutely unshakable faith that the correct call is the one that favors them.

I like the idea that companies won’t turn over their security tapes to just anyone. Why the NFL couldn’t convince the Cleveland police to let them come in a watch the tape after the investigation had been concluded is another matter.

“Welcome to Thanksgiving dinner, you can put your coats over there. Just one little house rule you should know about: don’t ask Yang what she does for a living at the table.”
