@ThroneSpud Szarka might not be the best "conventional" QB, but he is probably the most consequently to the offensive success of any team in the conference.

I know Jackson Arnold brings the experience, but man Micah Alejado broke out last year and im expecting a huge year again...
What would you change? 🗣👇

@FootballScoop This would de facto turn the G6 into FCS football overnight. Maybe we end up there in the end but until there is officially a new sub division this concept should be punted into the sun.

@mik0h1me @luke_leisher_ I was thinking of the Gradual Progression Tech Tree mod. Link to it on Spacedock. spacedock.info/mod/3768/Gradu…
English
@mik0h1me @luke_leisher_ There is a newer tech tree mod that supports most of the big parts mods and has a probes before manned flights feel to it. Can't remember the name but if you look on Spacedock and look for recently updated, you should find it.

This is all KSP.

@JoshPateCFB In regards to CFB ratings being up. Are they up due to the health of the sport or the interest in sports betting. I would bet that gambling is doing ratings not dan interest in the sport being played.

@Altman2378 @luke_leisher_ The Sol mod currently supports up to v5 of the Volumetric Clouds mod.
English
@luke_leisher_ Have they updated their true volumetric clouds settings yet? Last time I tried it, it was too much of a downgrade from stock ksp volumetric clouds I ended up going back

@CWLemoine Sabbatical are a bad idea. Once you're out for any length of time you are not going to want to come back and if you do come back you are going to have folks that are even more bitter and unwilling to put up with the daily annoyances of active duty life.
English
Hot take: The answer is to plus up the Guard/Reserve instead. Go back to the days of more unit-equipped squadrons (that own their own jets) and throttle back TFI. Take the 269 new EXs, buy some brand new F-16 Block 70/80s, and keep the A-10 around longer.
The Air Reserve Component is your lifeline to keeping a ready force that can still be flexible enough to allow people to get those airline seniority numbers and explore civilian life, without moving every 2-3 years and burning themselves out.
And it's not just a part time force. There are plenty of AGR (full time, active duty), ART (civil service), or just ADOS/RPA/ADSW (full time, temporary orders) opportunities.
It's a proven system that has been degraded as we sold our soul for the F-22/F-35 in the 2000s-2010s (Aughts? I just can't call it that).
My opinion only, does not represent DOW or anyone else.

@1BroncoBeliever To this day I don't think the rebuild of the PAC was ever thought through. There is no path in the current CFB enviro for a G6 conference to be considered a Power conference. Handpick the top 12 G6 teams and it won't matter. Self awareness is the biggest obstacle for PAC/MW.
English
The presupposition at the base of this argument is the problem. Yes, in a world where tv networks are insisting on a 9th member and all other “candidates” are locked behind impenetrable GORs, UCONN is likely the best option out there.
However, my issue is not with adding UCONN in a circumstantial vacuum. My issue is that it was never my dream for the school I love to pay millions of dollars to be in a conference with Texas State, USU, and UCONN. The issue is that Gould has put the PAC12 into a corner where UCONN is the only viable option and that is a catastrophic failure of leadership. The issue I have is with what the PAC12 could have been vs what it has become and ultimately in light of that what it has cost compared to simply doing a reverse merger with the PAC12 in the first over.

@1BroncoBeliever Honest question, who can the PAC realistically get that you'd be ok with? (No snark intended). Feels like the closer we get to 2030s and potential realingment Armageddon, schools may just wait it out see how the dust settles vs shell out exit fee money.

@RossDellenger Explain to me again how this system is good for student-athletes?

We haven't seen many power conference schools eliminate sports. Arkansas axes its tennis teams.

The University of Arkansas just announced it will discontinue its men’s and women’s tennis programs. Here’s a snippet from the press release with a quote from Hunter Yurachek.

@TBM_JY Short of turning every element of the sport (player and staff) into unions and collectively bargin it probably isn't legal.

How do you limit coach and AD pay in a free market?

@ControlledPairs Take a look at the bon voyage mod. Rovers can operate in the background while you do other things.
English
Sent a second base to the Mun. This time it's crew free. I was looking for flatter, smoother terrain near the landing site of the original base. I found it!
Landing was yet another suicide burn. Two attempts this time. Successful attempt went null on gas simultaneous with touchdown. Perfection.
Now I need to get Bob and Jeb from the busted Mun base to this one. It's like 100km. I started off with the rover... it's possible but painful. Going to send a rescue mission instead. MTF.
ControlledPairs@ControlledPairs
I'll be honest, while I did get this done in a single launch, landing took 5-6 attempts. It was a near suicide burn with hardly any DV left in the tank. Scatterer collision with the surface features was a challenge and I had to adjust the touchdown point on the fly. The stairs are retractable and the garage is a piston+hinge system. While the plan was to deploy the garage after landing, it turned out to be easier during descent to help with stability at touchdown. The base has a comms array, power generation (nuclear+solar+batteries), cuppola style observation/command module, space telescope, habitation module that sleeps 3, a garage with single seat rover (light, power, solar, robotic arm) and room to expand via docking port. Landing the thing was sporty. It has 3 radially attached ant engines and 4 RCS blocks. Most of the liquid fuel and oxidizer sits under the center module, but I added monopropellant and a bit of LFO to the garage to balance out the center of mass and make an unassisted landing possible. While I'm happy I got it done I'm not happy with the spot. Too sloped, too rocky. It's not great for the rover and docking new modules would be damn near impossible. So... I'm gonna start fresh with some minor design changes and put it somewhere flat and smooth.

@jumpjim 23 is a little young to be in the Widebodies, but by 26 or 27 it’s possible to be in the right seat as a relief pilot. Which is crazy, I know, but it’s just a wild time right now.
English
Any of my US colleagues like to comment on whether it’s feasible for a 23 year old to be flying RHS in a 777/787 in the Majors in the US? Seems highly unlikely to me…
id_2346@id_2346
@jumpjim @rb19rocky First, legacy airlines in the US are hiring plenty of 23 year olds occasionally directly into the right seat of 777/787. Second, none of that matters if the pay is not adequate. “Longhaul on a 787 in BA at mid 20s” for low pay is literally the opposite of a flex.
English
@KenKirtland17 Best case scenario is probably a docking target of some kind. It's also highly improbable that any lander will be ready by the targeted Artemis 4 mission dates.
English
I've been thinking about Artemis 3. The entire purpose is to have crew enterand use an HLS lander and buy down some risk.
But what lander could be ready for Crew use by end of next year?
Would be pretty challenging for Starship HLS.
Would be nearly impossible for Blue Moon Mk2
Would seem very hard for Blue Moon Mk1.5 which doesn't even have a public crew module concept.
For starship the hardest part would be accelerating crew habitation and control stuff which was meant to come after demo landing.
For Blue Moon mk1.5 its a start from scratch situation. I wonder if the pause on New Shephard is a possible hint of maybe building off New Shephard's crew cabin? But would be near total overhaul.
Which of the 3 do you think is most likely?

@RicksFalconRev @AF_MBB Section-8 is gone? Well that probably that probably the source of the downward slide. Step 1 was getting a coach. Step 2 needs to be getting the Wing to come out and support the team again.

Remember our history 'ESPECIALLY' our basketball teams
We had seasons to remember 20 years ago when @AF_MBB was rocking on the hardwood in Clune Arena, named after Colonel John Clune former athletic director.
** THIS is the point of this remembrance: AF had just beat Utah 62-49 on January 26, 2004. Legendary coach Rick Majerus in his post-game press conference was asked about the deafening noise from the cadets and the fans. He commented on the crowd: " I have played in Cameron, Rupp and all the big arenas, but when Clune is full there is no louder place (due to its configuration and construction)". We saw this again in the next 3 years culminating in Spring 2007 enroute to the NIT semi-finals. We beat 10 teams that year to include Stanford, Wake Forrest, Colorado (all 3 away/neutral games) and Georgia (home NIT game) by 29pts or more. Clune was loud and was rocking when at home. With at Clune seating capacity of 5858 we averaged 5064 fans (to include our OOC at home), and the NIT quarterfinal won over DePaul 52-51 was a sellout with a standing room only crowd.
It's time to fill Clune up again.
I hope @CoachCrispin
can read this as it's a heritage he needs to know, one I believe he already embraces. These photos are from crowds throughout the years. Right now the Cadet Wing is non-existent at games unless made to go, something that needs to change (similar to "A Field of Dreams" maybe it's "Win and they Will come again"). More to the story is Section-8 student section which was disbanded years ago. That is another post.
