From whence we get "sabotage."  Throwing wooden shoes into the machinery to mess it up.

I like the string of initials that sabot rounds have.  Like HVFSAPDS.

Yeah, sabot makes for an interesting round, usually comprised of uranium depleted of U235.  It is usually not impacted by reactive armor, which is interesting as well.

That tank group gets into "fights" (verbal) about the merits and deficiencies of various WW 2 tanks, it's amusing.  I'd say the Tiger is most popular, followed by the Panther.

One side makes charges and the other makes excuses.  The notion that all tanks had pluses and minuses is not tolerated.

All one, or all the other.  I blame the egg lobby.

There is a neat video someone posted that explained how each major tank was in fact a good choice for the country or origin and there was not best tank of WW 2, and then ended with saying the best tank was the NZ Bob Semple tank.  It was hilarious, but not many laughed.

Sure quiet over here.  Saw that UT is renaming the field after Campbell and Williams.  Smart, IMO.  Especially since Joe Jamails Family is on board.  The only question is are they going to have to add another name if somebody else wins a heisman?  It's a good problem to have I guess.  

I thought I saw where the Big 12 has pushed back their start date but now I can't find the story.  So far A&M has lost CU as an opponent this year with much more TBD as we get closer to kick-off (if it even happens).

Maybe what you've heard is that OU got permission from the NCAA to move its opener (with Missouri State, blech!)up to 29 August.  OU wanted to do that to keep 2-week separations between games early in the season for Covid-19 purposes.

For now it seems the compromise includes keeping the Eyes, but not forcing players to sing if they don't want to do so.  

I suspect it will come up again.

I dont think they ever needed to be forced

now any player not singing will be the same as kneeling
