Thanks for putting this together. Wish we had more representation along either side of the line but those big guys are historically toughest to project so..... fingers crossed
Nope. He could have. We wanted him to. We offered enough money. This town would have given him Stan status. He made a business decision, which is fine, but that won't get him a statue here. Yadi will get one. Heck, Waino possibly. But Albert passed on his chance to be in the lead convertible on opening day.
Having said that, he and his wife are really good folks and you can't be mad at the choices they made. Sad but not mad. Hell of a guy.
Hmm. Yeah. I forgot where I was for a minute. You can email me here by removing the spaces and replacing the ! with @. Given the size of the area one of my guys may not be terribly close but I'll point you towards a quality option either way.
Yay. Something I can contribute to. I own a picture framing store and also run a chain of stores in the US and Canada. I'm not going to slam anybody else but I'd recommend going to a local mom and pop near you that has good reviews and that you feel comfortable with when dealing face to face. There are some good big box stores out there but in reality you're not always dealing with the most highly educated frame department employee. We hired 2 from Joanns over the years to work for us and we had to tear down and then build back up their knowledge. Your typical employee gets 6 hours of training and then it's OJT from there on our.
Any good local mom and pop will be price competitively with any big box and will give you a tremendous value compared to a diy box from amazon. You should opt for conservation mounting of the jersey (ask about attach-ez mounting as an reasonably price yet safe method). At a minimum choose Tru Vue Conservation Clear glass. Do not go with a non-glare or a conservation reflection control because your jersey needs to be set back in the frame and those glasses will blur the view the further away the item gets from the glazing.
Average cost in our system for a jersey is about $389 for an approximate 30 x 38 sized frame. It can go up from there. Many shops offer specials in the $299 range where you can choose some upgrades. This is a good deal for the most part.
Must haves -
1. Removable without any damage
2. UV protectant glass (frame shops won't carry safety glass but should have 99% UV filtering glazing options)
3. All acid free materials (mounting boards, etc)
4. Don't cheap out. You'll regret it most of the time in the long run, if not the short.
PM me for a recommendation in your area as I deal with vendors and stores across the US and we have 2 locations of our system in OC that I could recommend if you'd like.
Good on you for participating in this post. Appreciate your perspective and participation here. Time will tell with Tucker but this is not a reason to declare his tenure a failure. Thanks for your contributions here.
This is the right answer. Crescent reg mats and Museum glass to really appreciate and protect it. WD is in Ann Arbor. Randy Parrish is the best shop in town and is a good guy.
Went in May of 2019 for the first time. Group of 21 of us so we ended up at one of the less expensive resorts just up the coast from where you are going to be. Had a great time. Good tips in this thread with the water etc. Our resort had fresh filtered water at every bar so we bought a few large bottles and then just kept them full for drinking, brushing teeth, etc. Someone who had been before me gave us a few pieces advice that I'll pass along as it really helped us enjoy it.
1. Some of the beaches have rocks just off the beach on the way to the deeper water. Bring inexpensive water shoes in case you need them. Leave the tags on them and if your beach doesn't have any rock issues just return them when you get back.
Actually, one of their main rivals (Lafayette) had the Alabama commit. Had that crossed. Eureka may not produce a lot of top 10 Talent but it's not the middle of nowhere and they play against some of the better schools in the Saint Louis Metro on this side of the river.
Eureka isn't middle of nowhere country. It's a west county suburb and they play plenty of decently scouted schools. Had a kid committed to bama just last year (TE that ended up going elsewhere).
I think the best part is if you look up Human Element on FB a chunk of their 5 star reviews are from HE employees or current college students who probably haven't been clients. Now thats smart marketing.
Yep. This. This site is a treasure and the choice of contractor for this re-launch was huge. I don't know what the contractor is doing to make this right but frankly the MGObrand has taken a hit here. If it was driven by MGOstaffers dictating things then fine, thats on them and not huel but it seems much of the issues here were driven by a web contractor who couldn't carry their end of the project. Still going to come here but nowhere near as frequent without the living organism that was the MGOboard and it's motley crew.
Just noticed that when you scroll the page the diary section doesn't have a GO TO DIARIES at the bottom of it. Another reason to hyperlink the word diary if you want to go to diaries as you scroll past.
Also when I want to see new posts android/chrome I scroll to comments and then sort newest first. Little wheel spins but nothing happens. Same first comment sitting there looking at me. You have to click READ MORE as a second step and then it takes you to new.
Also clicked on the little dude icon top right (android chrome)figuring it would take me to my profile. He highlights in a box but nothing happens. Click again and highlight goes away but still nothing happens.
On main page if you click the comments bubble it goes to a new page but not to comments. Should take you to comments.
Also I know there is a "gotomgoboard" link at the bottom of the section but when scrolling down it is almost intuitive to click the white words MESSAGE BOARD to get there not scroll through those 6 or wjatever. Should have the title of the section be a hyperlink.
We were looking for a 2nd QB to come in with Milton because he was raw. Didn't happen with Shough so this is the second guy. Probably break glass in case of emergency but I'd be surprised if he'd be above BP or DM on the depth chart ever.

Totally agree it was in the Cards best interest.
Plus, had he stayed here he would have gotten the dignity of not being released.
Nope. He could have. We wanted him to. We offered enough money. This town would have given him Stan status. He made a business decision, which is fine, but that won't get him a statue here. Yadi will get one. Heck, Waino possibly. But Albert passed on his chance to be in the lead convertible on opening day.
Having said that, he and his wife are really good folks and you can't be mad at the choices they made. Sad but not mad. Hell of a guy.
This seems like a way more probable path than any of us thought just last year. Sad. Hope someone reigns him in for his own good.

1. Some of the beaches have rocks just off the beach on the way to the deeper water. Bring inexpensive water shoes in case you need them. Leave the tags on them and if your beach doesn't have any rock issues just return them when you get back.
2. Depending upon where your resort is located there can be a decent amount of good sized waves. Order these and take them with you so you can float out there with your drink and enjoy with very little effort exerted https://www.amazon.com/Swimline-Doodles-Inflatable-Noodle-Float/dp/B0037TSTUO
3. Bring your own cup for drinks. Often at an all inclusive you're dealing with tiny 8 oz cups. Bring along a big tervis with a handle and you'll make quite a few less trips. We did something like this and found they worked well (this link is just the handle but you'll get the idea) https://www.amazon.com/Tervis-Tumbler-Black-24oz-Handle/dp/B004VVHORG/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2HJBN8JDMVC3C&keywords=tervis+with+handle&qid=1580491787&s=home-garden&sprefix=tervis+with+handl%2Cgarden%2C191&sr=1-5
4. The cigar and rum "shop" is a waste of time. Don't bother.
We did a few excursions, enjoyed the mamajuana and never felt unsafe. Enjoy your trip
I love you guys and I love this place. Why are we letting things like this occur?

Ben Bishop is a St Louis kid as well so it was home town on home town crime there.
In his short amount of time Colin seems to have a nose for the ball. Promising.
There is something to be said about winning this one vs those guys and getting a potential dude out of their backyard.
Probably more meta than on topic but anyone have a timeline on that ignore function availability? Thanks. I'll hang up and listen .
Seconded. Really hope that is part of the new updates.
That only applies to Zach Smith's Amazon purchases though, no?

I like to hear the blogging to know it's good.
I think the best part is if you look up Human Element on FB a chunk of their 5 star reviews are from HE employees or current college students who probably haven't been clients. Now thats smart marketing.
Agreed 100%. This is almost like someone is learning drupal as they go given the multitude of things not right.

Not 5* don't want
Are you still surprised that Mo made it to the league? I know you didn't think he would be an NBA guy.
Well he is a koala so...
Well then. I'm sure bluey will come back around at that point and admit his mistake. Right? Guys? Hello?
His school doesn't have a hockey program so he probably didn't notice
Yeah. That was a cute one.
Just noticed that when you scroll the page the diary section doesn't have a GO TO DIARIES at the bottom of it. Another reason to hyperlink the word diary if you want to go to diaries as you scroll past.
Who. Not how. Damn edit.
But without him how who would highlight every potentially bad piece of recruiting news and apparently ignore/miss any good piece of recruiting news?
Whoops. Sorry. I mean "keep it real".
Choose post to…
Go to board.
Choose post to read.
Read post, then comments, then move to second page of comments.
Want to go back and revisit comment from first page so hit back button android chrome.
One click of back button from page 2 comments pits me back on the board. Not page one comments.
Also when I want to see new posts android/chrome I scroll to comments and then sort newest first. Little wheel spins but nothing happens. Same first comment sitting there looking at me. You have to click READ MORE as a second step and then it takes you to new.
Also clicked on the little dude icon top right (android chrome)figuring it would take me to my profile. He highlights in a box but nothing happens. Click again and highlight goes away but still nothing happens.
So how do I access my profile? Thanks.
Sorry. Not sure if BUG or suggestion.... editing would be great also.
Not sure if but or suggestion but...

It tells itself.
Like the idea or not.... this is where the "Better Together" idea would really benefit the image of STL.
