Bumpers got expensive when they were mandated to survive a 5 mph collision with no damage.

Don't know about the trailer hitch, but I bet you could buy the bumper yourself, spend some time on YouTube, and install it yourself for a lot less.

I'm not paying for any of it. It'll either be out-of-pocket for the guy who rear-ended me, or his insurance company.

So I was looking at UW's schedule, and since it's been a few years since they had a good opponent to open (they'll wait three weeks this year), I'd forgotten my favorite part about a big-time opener.

Zero discussion about "vanilla" offense. 

It's one of my least favorite things early in the season. The offense is looking rough at spots, and some fans insist "No, this is only because the staff is TRYING to hold back some of the good plays." And sometimes things stabilize and probably more often, it just means the offense won't be as good as we hope.

Anyway, it's a misunderstanding of how gameplans are built (something I could get deeper on if anyone cares), and is usually kind of a hoping against hope sort of self-denial. I'm not looking forward to three weeks of it, and that was so stream of consciousness, I felt it belonged here. Thanks for listening.

The end of EDSBS...

Wow.
Never heard of EDSBS.
But that was something there.

So who's going to take up tracking the Fulmer Cup?  Always worth a chuckle...

Well, it sounds like the old Orson Swindle [Spencer] will still be writing somewhere. He didn't really specify where he'll be. Probably because he knows it'll become common knowledge soon enough.

Wouldn't surprise me if The Athletic poached him from SBNation. 

Maybe he'll still track the Fulmer Cup.
