One of the players at baseball camp is Brian Finneran, long time WR for the Falcons.  I asked him how many words were in a typical NFL play call in the huddle, it was interesting, he said something like 99 Sadie X Right blah blah.  I didn't get it all.  They communicate a lot in a short period of time.  He noted that some players simply never get it and can't play.  I'd like to hear an example defensive play call, and OL play call, how they call in the line, and then if the DL shifts.

I saw the UGA DL shift quite a bit this past year.

It's been an eventful fall for the Mrs. and I. We spent two weeks in Italy over the holiday break on our honeymoon. A week in Rome followed by Assisi, Venice, Bologna, Reggio Emilia, and Florence. It was a spectacular trip.  Not too busy. With me being a 1.95m tall guy who speaks English, inevitably the other English speakers We learned a ton about food on this trip, even when we weren't really trying to. Highlights included more wine than I've ever drank in my life, Christmas Eve Mass at St Peters, finding a locals lunch joint in Assisi, cooking classes, the Frecciarossa, fresh tortellini in Bologna, and the New Years Eve demolition of a 800 gram bistecca Florentina and the random dance party that followed. We brought a fair amount of food (wine, cheese, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar) back, and so far when we've used it it's reminded us what food is supposed to taste like.

If anyone is interested in more specifics (restaurants, cooking classes, tours, places to go, etc.), let me know.

We're going to Florida for a wedding on Marco Island this weekend. Considering it's super cold here tonight, the Florida sun will be well appreciated.

I got the sheet of paper that officially says that I'm a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Minnesota. Kind of nice.

ELA, to put it mildly, that stinks. Not sure what, if anything, I can say to that, other than to commiserate with you and hope for the best.

RIP Old Joe. A damn good guy. I'll pour out some Old Style for him.

Many of you have been to my (former) tailgate and probably remember Ol' Joe, with the real stuffed Badger on top of his van.

Well, Joe is no longer with us, as of yesterday. Very sad news.
Condolences my friend

Thanks guys. I hadn't seen Joe in a couple years - been a while. But this still hits hard. I've known the guy for half of my life.

BaB - you ever walk down Regent and see the stuffed Badger on top of a red van, parked in the lot just East of the flower shop? In earlier days, we were in the hospital lot at Park and Regent. Anyway, if you saw it, that was Old Joe's Badger.

Old Joe and Gator got along really well. Not surprising.

That's a heck of a year, GR, very nice!  I love Italy, perhaps even more than I love France.  Well, it depends on the day I suppose.

Finished the 6' tall cedar picket fence. First time I've ever built a fence, but I think I ended up doing a pretty good job. 

If it had been my house, it would have been better, though. Some areas I was essentially grafting a superstructure on the posts that already existed for the 3' fence along the back of the house, and that existing structure was very old. If I were doing it for myself, I would have ripped that all out and started fresh. But that would have cost more effort and money, and all I'm doing this is as a check-box to get a dog. (And because we had a change in neighbors so I wanted a privacy fence.)

The judge may have been hamstrung by the wording of the law.
This.

The foster system is no doubt different in every state, but it is a hard system everywhere. Not because anyone wants it that way, but because anytime the courts and government agencies have to step into the making and separating of families, there are sure to be problems.

It sucks.

Sorry, ELA. Saw your wife's post on the FB the other day, too. I feel for you.

sorry for your losses, @847badgerfan and @ELA .

the foster system is f-ed up, but it's people like ela that sacrifice tremendously that can help make life better for the kids. even if just for a while.

Just landed in Austin and heading to check out this Live Oak Brewing joint.

I've been told Austin is terrible and that I should never consider moving here. Seems like bluster to me.

Nope it's true.  All of it!

@bwarbiany Did you figure out a place for dinner?  The food truck at Live Oak is decent, but not particularly "Austin-y."  I'm not that familiar with restaurants around your hotel, it's basically at the opposite end of town from where I live.

I would definitely suggest Valentina's for breakfast tacos and BBQ in general, it's really good.  It's in South Austin but not really all that close to you.  Leroy And Lewis is another BBQ trailer that's also in South Austin and a little closer to where you're staying.
