Was going to say, unless you had a Pit Bull, Rottweiler, etc definitely keep an eye on a smaller dog as a coyote will snatch a small one up in a heartbeat. They're pretty bold. I'm seen them attack dogs on leashes.

Yep. Know of a few, some right off the leash in front of the owner. The ones right near us are also close to a few nature preserves, so I think they are pretty well fed and steer clear of humans when they see one. 

Old house was about 15 miles east towards Chicago, and we drank in the parking lot after a softball game one week. Had 4 of them start to circle us and come closer. When we all walked to the cars, the "object" they were circling (us) obviously got bigger and they scattered quickly. But that was the one time where I felt a Coyote was actually not afraid to just maul a human in the suburbs.

I have horses and all my neighbors have some type of livestock, so coyotes are a menace. 

My closest neighbor and I have our horses run together and so we pool hay and such. He bought a donkey to keep with our babes as a security agent. That damn thing, named Buddy, was the best investment ever! Other neighbors have started investing in donkeys, too. None of our animals have been attacked or killed for some time. 

Donkeys are natural born coyote killers lol

Makes sense as to why you dont like them!

Do you own a dog?

Yes. Shih Tzu-Bichon. A few bigger dogs on the block and a few smaller. We have luckily never had an attack on any of them. 

As for our dog, always on a leash when we let him outside -- mostly because he is 16 and wanders, but now cant hear well enough to come back haha.

What animals have you unintentionally hit with your car.

Deer…yeah 4x

4-6 squirrels

6-8 rabbits

1 skunk

Couple small turtles

Some birds

Typical stuff in SE Ohio with country road and small highway driving. I drive A LOT

Today I hit a new one. I hit a coyote. Was still dark, I was on cruise control about 62-63 mph. It was sideways just into the passing lane facing the way I needed it to be….I veered right to give it room if it came back my way and it planted and darted back just like those squirrels and rabbits do. Drilled it. No damage however to my 20 year old Accord

Oh….about 18 years ago I hit a black angus cow at night on a 4 lane highway. Totaled that civic

This might be the wildest list I have ever seen. 

I have hit a hawk and some other bird. The other bird looked like Randy Johnson when he hit it. Just disintegrated on the grill of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Was going probably 80-85 in on M72 in N. Michigan, thing swooped down in and was toast! Only feathers left all over the grill and inside the hood. I have almost hit a few squirells and geese, but they always get out of the way in time.

I hate everything about coyotes. I only hate spiders more. 

We have a few Coyotes that roam the neighborhood. Usually see them a few times a month -- more in spring. I love them. They eat all the fuckers that eat my garden (rabbits, squirrels, mice, etc). I wish we had more of them. 

Sticking with Cousins THIS LONG is the real issue.

No phones for pictures. You will have to have an actual camera. They don't allow phones for even practice rounds. 

Good to know!

Secured everyone with Sunday Ticket, and now hiking it up after 2 years of it when they know we can't switch.

The problem is the game itself has passed him by. He couldnt draft for shit fors about a decade now. He couldnt get wins when they were there. He was bad. 

I've been for work (rather not even go) and I've been to the Saturday in 2019 (INCREDIBLE). But I am very much looking forward to the practice round and being able to take my phone in for pictures.

Working the masters or did you win the lottery for tickets

My friend got the practice round (Tuesday). 

Guess I’m in the minority. Feels like this will be a disaster. 

We have Charleston in March. Sedona in June. Tampa in March I think or maybe February. 

Not a vacation, but I have Masters in April. 

Planes are my happy place. You all are crazy! Though I would pay for the extra legroom if you can’t get first/business.

It saved my life (financially, not figuratively...though maybe if I couldnt have afforded the medicine). 

I was an independent contractor and not insured thru work. My plan was decent, but then I got diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis after about 1-1.5 yrs of wasting money on treatments for "back pain". The shot (Humira/Enbrel) to keep the disease at bay was like $11k per month for me. Got on my parents insurance once ACA went into effect (I was eligible as a 25 year old not yet 28). It lowered the cost to $30 per month, and also qualified my for some sort of assistance card that knocked it down to $5...

The rankings I can get behind being 1-12 vs auto byes. But I also do not hate it. You didnt win the gd conference you are in, why should you get a bye? I dont care if they are much better, thats another hypothetical -- whereas I know FOR SURE, you arent the best team in your own conference and they are...

I just thought the whole point of expanding was to eliminate the teams who lose and give those who don't a chance to make it. Because hypotheticals suck. Like, yes, Alabama would be favored over Indiana, SMU, etc. But those teams have earned the way into the top-12, Alabama has not. If we are going to ONLY try for the best (not the most deserving), then I would rather drop back to 4 teams...

Rece asked him a 2nd time because he was surprised of his answer.

Yeah, I am not sure I disagree with it. 

If you have out of 12 teams:

• Notre Dame
• Ohio State
• Tennessee
• Indiana
• Alabama

...not playing, then I don't think -- despite maybe some SOS/SOR stuff and common opponents stuff altering slightly -- that the order of those 5 teams should shift at all. The teams PLAYING? Yes, they can shift up and less likely down depending on outcome and performance. But the order of those 5 teams who are not playing and cannot add a direct data point to the resume should remain. 

I thought he was saying, no matter what, teams not playing this week will not jump or fall behind/in front of other teams not playing this week. 

There can and will be movement, but Texas/Georgia outcome won’t have Indiana move ahead of Tennessee. But it could have the loser/winner move up or down a good bit.

Impressionable years leave a lasting impression. Hard to believe Marky Mark beating Peyton was THAT long ago. But nice 30 hits, the decades just blend into one long year — while the 10-30 years seem to be 60 years in my head.
