West Coast Sports Talk and Other Banter

[SilverFallsAndrew]

At the end of the day I don’t fault Carroll for throwing the ball there. How many times have we seen a running back stuffed on the goal line at the end of a game because everyone on the planet knows a run is coming. It was the right call. Malcolm Butler just made one of the greatest plays of all time. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

This qualifies as banter. New census data is out for the year ending July 1, 2023. 

Oregon lost residents for the second year in a row, shedding another 6,000 people after losing 16,000 in the year prior. Oregon's population is 4,233,000.

Washington grew slightly adding about 28,000 new people. Their population is just under 7,813,000. 

The biggest population loser was New York, shedding 101,000 residents. California dropped 75,000. By percentage New York was the biggest loser at -0.5%, with Louisiana, Illinois, and Hawaii losing -0.3% of their population. 

The biggest gainer by percentage was South Carolina as its population grew 1.7%. Texas and Florida grew at 1.6% with Texas adding 473,000 new residents and Florida adding 365,000 people.

I know several people that moved to SC, Florida, and Texas over the last few years so that seems about right. Surprised that WA gained population though as I thought everyone hated the politics, etc here. Trying to traverse I-5 and 405 nearly daily over the last few weeks with my dad being in Bellevue I can tell we gained though lol.

Probably people from Portland moving to Vancouver. 

Also the economy of the Puget Sound region has always been better than Oregon's. If you look at unemployment figures over the past 20-30 years Oregon's rate has generally been higher than the national average. People moved here generally for the "quality of life" factors. Once those took a nosedive there was no reason to stay. At least in the Seattle area you can work for Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon, etc...

Oregon has the #3 football recruiting class. They could easily end up passing Alabama for #2.

Big game tomorrow now that the Seahawks put themselves back in the playoff hunt.   Rams and Saints are both 7-7 so not sure who to cheer for but probably the Saints because I hate the Rams.

Rams beat the Hawks twice so I assume we need them to lose more than the Saints. Although Im not sure I really want to watch a Seahawks wild card game.

Someone will survive Survivor tonight.

[Anti Marine Layer]

3 losses in a row for the Lakers. LeBron James deserves it.

[T-Town]

Espn predicting the hawks make the playoffs at 8-9.

Lacey Chabert makes too many Hallmark movies. 

[MossMan]

Not sure there will be any stopping the Rams unfortunately. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Lakers lose 4 in a row now.

The Thunder are good again. Which sucks.

Must win game today for the Hawks…Just like it will be next week and the week after as well. 

[MossMan]

66 degrees in Nashville…Going to be too warm for the Hawks.

[MossMan]

DJ Dallas wasn’t used to looking into the sun apparently. 

[MossMan]

Refs are not on our side today, that was a clear catch. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Feels like a classic letdown performance.

Not technically, but hopefully the Hawks are approaching it that way!

Well it looks like a loss today. Geno does not look sharp and looked tentative. Looks like Nissan Titans are going to run down our throats. 

[MossMan]

Get Geno out of there. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Offensive line folding like a cheap lawn chair.

I had a Titan during the big snows of 2008. Performed like a champ!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Now stupid personal fouls.

[MossMan]

And Brooks is done for the season.

My Tahoe did not. My water pump started leaking like Snoqualmie Falls during a AR event about 3 days into it, so I took it to my shade tree mechanic and he didn’t work on it until after Christmas since he didn’t want to pull his Corvette out of his shop (my theory), so I borrowed my uncles 2002 Blazer…That thing was about high centering in the Costco parking lot with the huge chunks of snow and ice everywhere. I probably blew out of few of his shocks driving around the roads that were like frozen cow pastures. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Going about as I expected.
