I can’t decide which is worse right now : sitting in an airport lounge where it seems 80% of the folks have active Covid or hoping to turn off the world around me by visiting ab only to find nerd smack.
Also and more importantly I have officially drank the kool aid. We gonna win.

Have drunk (just kidding - seemed appropriate)
Co-worker in Portland got the latest version of Covid last week. He was down for 5 days and still recovering.
Short version: (cough, cough) we’re going to win (cough, cough)
Right
I won't be putting my money where my mouth is game 1. A lot of my assumptions stem from having CU colored glasses on.
So as in the fuskers will be the penultimate team in the Big?Actually, no. Penultimate means next to last, as in a sequence. Not second most, as it is being used here.

I just really want to ****ing smoke Nebraska by 50+, and finally beat USC. End that goose egg we have against those jerks.
Whatever sport NWD participates in is the antepenultimate nerd sport. I'm guessing pickleball.
I might participate in nerd sports (although I do not play pickleball), but at least I know how to use my ordering adjectives correctly.
posted in ToT, a dude named Ken has been a thorn in my side for the last few months at work
just finished a meeting w/ Ken and another dude, where Ken mentioned "playing pickleball last night with my neighbors..."
my tongue is bleeding from how hard I bit it in an effort to avoid saying something snarky about his choice of recreational activities

WTF?
Pickleball is an incorrect example of a nerd sport. Pickleball is a sport predominantly for people of an advanced or well pickled age. There may in fact be nerds that play pickleball, but that is because people of all mental capacity over the age of 60 (35 for AB members) participate.
Big Jim
WTF?
365 (?) Power Clean... Yeah, that'll do
Hmmm. May we have a definition of nerd, please? lolultra-marathons are the penultimate nerd sport, trailing only triathlons.

I thought that was road cycling?
Anyone who use software to keep track of mileage, calories, wattage, etc. Bonus point if you create your own spreadsheet!

WTF?
That is defined more by those having a death wish.
Ok. Lol. You have defined as nerds every endurance sport athlete… including all the Tour de France riders, the entire US National team (every sport?)… and of course, every CU Buff now also wears a vest tracking all of their movements during practice, the numbers for which you know they get competitive over…
So… nerds have apparently taken over the world of athletics? That’s ironic as hell.
Big Jim
WTF?
The nerds are those that do all that you say for themselves. If trainers are doing all the need work then the athlete isn’t the nerd.
Mbappe has no idea how many kilometers he ran during his last match.
For the record, I have nothing against nerds and I track every run. Acceptance is the first step to recovery.
You don’t think-say-the US National Team members chart their numbers and check and discuss them every week with their coaches? I subscribe to a number of their youtube channels and podcasts. They know and live their numbers.
They know exactly what times they have to hit on every lap of every interval of every workout, while they are running them, and they can recite specific workouts for weeks/months afterward.
Someday watch one of many videos on Prefontaine’s workouts with Frank Shorter and others. They lived for their numbers. Some of numbers from Pre’s interval workouts remain legend. Because of all of that, Pre knew exactly what he could run the last mile and last quarter heading into the Munich Olympics. Not coaches.
Apparently… Pre … the nerd.
