I will always have an android phone, currently rocking the pixel 3 and love it but Apple makes the superior laptop/tower I will give them that. I have an analog watch so I don't know how the apple watch is. I also still have a 160 g ipod plugged into my car that still rocks with over 10,000 songs. They make high quality products. Well, Chinese kids make them but they provide the blueprint.

I would look into it now. It was less expensive for my wife (late 40s) than for me (late 50s).

My wife definitely did not like my suggestion for my end of life care plan... being from Memphis and having a sometimes mornid sense of humor, I told her that my plan would just cost $10K and a round trip Greyhound bus ticket...relatively quick and only somewhat painful, but no long suffering for me or my family 😳

To be fair colorado state had a good 2nd quarter in that game but the last 13 points were in garbage time

Right - I'd even argue that that offense had more talent than this one at Scar this year. That Colorado State team has Nick Stevens who was a very solid college QB, Michael Gallup (over 1k yards last year for Dallas) and Bisi Johnson who is currently the #2 WR in Minnesota. Their RB and an OL also played in the NFL too.

I still have the original Pixel. I've had to change the battery once. Other than that it's been a good phone. My only gripe about Apple is it's closed architecture. It truly doesn't like to play with others. And that's what the kids like so anything the kid's like is bad in my opinion.

And then Preston Williams the year after. Bobo had 6 straight seasons of 1,000 yard receivers there...not too bad.

That 2017 Co St team also had solid blocking upfront...thanks to ole Will Friend.

They also had Warren Jackson as a freshman. He was first team MWC last year and is a beast.

I do not go to sports to get my political information. It is insulting to me to continue to be forced to watch and listen to the dogma while attempting to watch sports.

The networks and teams should work to keep their employees out of politics, because it has gone way too far. They have lost a lot of viewers, but because of COVID-19 they just don't know it yet. They are in a state of denial. This goes for the NFL and NBA.

If people can't see that the riots are happening because of the upcoming election, then I don't know what to say. The fight against racism and politics are being intertwined in very complex ways. It is OK to be for either political party and still be against racism; however, that is not the narrative that is being used. It is insulting that the insinuation is that it is all the fault of Republicans, and yet most if not all of the riots that are ongoing are happening in Democrat run cities. The George Floyd situation that got this all started was run by a Democrat police chief (who is black), Mayor, AND Governor.

The narrative is not the reality, in my opinion, and it is very frustrating to watch it play out. I do not wish to be a part of a false narrative, and I do not want to watch sports in order to understand politics.
