    Everything Zen: 2023 Michigan Football

    Shame on all of our SoSH Wolverines for waiting this long to get a thread going for what should be the best shot the program has at a National Title in some time. This team is LOADED at nearly every position, even going to the 2-deep, with the exception of starting CB2 and backup QB. It all...

    Y'Know What Lamine??: Barca 2023-24

    I just finished a loooooong post about the Barca-Spurs preseason match in the Spurs thread and now I'll do the Barca side of the coin. The good. MATS still looks terrific. Made some outstanding saves, and didn't have much of a chance on either Spurs goal. Balde still looks so good. I think...

    Realignment 2023: Whither the Pac12?

    I went diving for the old realignment thread, and its title says 2021, so I figured it was time for a new thread. As a fun intro, let's look back to the history of the modern conferences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_football While most of the actual conference movement has occurred...

    POLL: Skiers of SoSH Locations

    I wanted to post this in the skiing thread, but I didn't see an option to add a poll to a post. So, new thread! Should be quick, I'm just curious how many skiers/riders we have following the skiing thread and where our folks are located. Perhaps we can do a meet up next season? Edit: Added a...

    04/26 - 04/28 Midweek Game Thread

    New thread for the biggest EPL match of the season between City and Arsenal that will go a long way towards deciding the EPL winner. Arsenal head to the Etihad up 5 points on MANC, but MANC has 2 games in hand. MANC will likely have the GD tiebreaker at season's end so give them a half point for...

    Spurs New Manager Poll

    I can't post a poll within a thread, so I'm making a new thread for this specific question, which is straightforward. While the impetus for the question is the opening at Spurs, I think any football fan can answer. In fact, it might be interesting to see how non-Spurs fans may look at this...

    UCL KOs: Megaclubs and Reeling Clubs All Together Now

    New thread for the UCL knockouts. Perhaps this isn't all that surprising, but this year it seems like there are pretty much exclusively big name clubs in the KOs, but they're arriving in a wide array of form. Just looking at the EPL sides, MANC is sitting in 2nd but not impressing many with...

    International Break Game Thread (September 19-27)

    Lots going on over the next week, as most international sides are playing 2 matches in the run-up to the WC--many within the US! I'll be at the Argentina-Honduras match in Miami on Friday. Vamos Argentina carajo!! Normally I'd list all the matches, but there's a lot. There are African and Asian...

    Chromebook Video Editor

    I'll preface this thread by saying I'm a big dumb idiot who just bought an Asus Chromebook, overly focused on performance without considering the sea change brought about by using an OS I'm not terribly familiar with. To make a long story short, I bought the new machine because I wanted a cheap...

    Playing with House Money: 2022 Michigan Football

    After last year's breakthrough against OSU, the volume of Michigan's football preseason is lower than usual (for me anyway). Nevertheless, Michigan returns a very good squad against a weak schedule and should compete for a conference title. The loaded and experienced offense will have to carry...

    22/23 Barcelona: Pull the Lever(s)

    Barcelona's tumultuous dig out of Bartomeu's disastrous financial mismanagement continues for another season. Visca Barca!! The latest bullshit amongst Culers and Socis is about the club's treatment of FDJ. FDJ fairly or not is the fulcrum of this summer transfer window. Laporta detractors...

    What's 1/3 of -$300M?: Barcelona 2022-2023

    Who knows what Barca can and can't spend this summer. On the one hand, Barca are way afoul of La Liga's FFP rules, and on the other hand...Spanish accounting practices. What we do know is that Barca can only spend 1/3 of any savings they make on new signings plus wages. So if FDJ is sold for...

    May 6 Matchweek Thread

    I give up on the correct way to title these matchweek threads. But substantively, this is a BIG one across Europe. In EPL, Spurs travel to Anfield to get put to the sword take on soaring Liverpool, as Spurs tries to keep pace with Arsenal, and Pool continues to put pressure on a heartbroken...

    Gameweek?? 03/01 - ??

    I don't even pretend to know how we're marking gameweeks, but there are some fun matches today across a variety of competitions, so we should have a game thread for them all. Anyone can feel free to put some details in the thread title, or make some suggestions for it and I'll edit. FA Cup MANC...

    Oh hi! It's me, the JV squad. Did you miss me? I bet you will once you check out the Freshman team (Conference League). Hey, where's Tottenham?!? R16 gets underway TIL that the format for UEL has changed: So there you have it. TBH, I think this is a terrific format. It rewards the UEL group...

    The January Int'l Break Gamethread

    I'm too lazy to look up the exact dates, but we just started an international break! I watched a good portion of Argentina-Chile last night, and boy did the match deliver the goods. Argentina won 2-1 away at Calama, a small desert town at 7,400 feet above sea level. Chile was trying to gain an...

    21-23 January Gamethread

    Norwich (18) and Watford (17) are in the second half of an incredibly important EPL matchup for the relegation battle. Josh Sargent has Norwich ahead 1-0 after an hour. Many other weekend EPL matchups are important too, pitting teams on either end of the table against each other: Saturday...
