  1. ESPN will have Saban on during the conference championship games to explain why Alabama deserves to be in the Playoffs again. Just wait.
  2. The last 6 quarters.... Josh Allen 24-of-48 for 261 yards 0 TDs 4 INTs Drives (going back to halftime of the GB game) FG INT INT PUNT INT TD PUNT TD Miss FG INT FG PUNT Turnover on downs
  3. Jets SOS isn't very impressive IMO. They beat Miami 40-17, but it was a 19-17 score in the 4Q. Jets faced the THIRD string QB in the Miami game. Got smoked by Baltimore, smoked by Cincy, beat by a crappy NE team. Barely beat CLEVELAND (1 point win), barely beat a bad Steelers team, barely beat a terrible Broncos team and beat the Pack about like we did. With Hall out, it's going to be really difficult for Wilson. Bills 37 Planes 19
  4. I'll post some dive photos, videos when I get the chance. The reef is a national park now so it's protected. When I was diving at 20 years old, you could touch the reef... touch puffer fish, etc. Now you can't touch anything so the reef is growing back. Really beautiful! Got to see a nurse shark, which was AWESOME
  5. Here is what we stayed... you can see the location on the map (It's called Caribe Paradise and the dive master finished the place about 6 months ago so it's brand new inside). https://www.google.com/maps/place/Caribe+Paradise/@20.4965917,-86.9554669,5691m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x6c4020f87bcc6fa9!8m2!3d20.4897571!4d-86.9444687
  6. I didn't realize you can see the mainland from the island. Next time check it out! You can dive, w/o a certification, with the guy we used. Even thought I've been certified since 1988, I had to really get a refresher. Our dive master helps people with no experience take their first dive(s) in fairly shallow waters (20-30 feet). We made it down to almost 100 on Saturday.
  7. I wish I had an answer for that one! We stayed at this apartment/AirBnB type place that was wonderful, but it was 2-3 miles from the main area of the Island (The Centre). If you want to dive, I can give you contact information on the guy we used. He threw in the apartment as part of a package. We had 2 tanks a day, transportation, the apartment (2 rooms, 2 bath, kitchen, dining room and living room.. even a private pool) as well as our regulators, masks and fins for $350/person/per day. It was an AMAZING package! We haven't dove for 20+ years and despite being certified, we needed to have someone really help ease us back into diving. There are a lot of hotels and resorts off the main beach. We took a taxi (it was like $3 to get there) to that area in the evenings to eat. The island just looks so much different that what it was like in 1995.
  8. I figured it would be the best place to ask. I went to the Off The Wall forum, but no one replied. Guess it's a slow page. So I asked here. Problem for us was that NFL RedZone wouldn't work in Mexico and when I would try to get NBC Sports on my phone, then plugged into the TV... I would get only Mexican sports options. But it worked out, found a good little bar with decent food to watch the game. But yet, not sure why there are 2-3 jerks on here. I expect that from the PPP page when talking politics, but not here. Learned my lesson. Red Zone doesn't work outside the US. I even tried with NordVPN. All the games were 'blacked out'.
  9. Dude, just stop. I'm not bragging. Holy chit. Go back and read the replies.... for some reason there are a 2-3 of you who think I was bragging instead of asking for help from fellow fans. The rest think your type of reply is unwarranted.
  10. Work in Ardmore, Oklahoma (where I am when I get on the boards) and my name is Ryan... which "Ryno" is a typical nickname for my name.
  11. ❤️ Thanks brother! He's 71-years old...semi-retired dentist and full time saint. He really deserves the very best. My mom became a quadriplegic seven years ago after a self inflected injury. He spent every day the seven years since taking care of her, being by her side and making sure she had in home care 24-7. Then 4 years ago, I lost my little sister in a car accident (she was 40). My mom passed away last year, so he's (we've) had so much heartbreak in his life. I'm now I'm trying to get him to do all the things he put on hold for so long. First thing we did together was go to our first Bills game in Buffalo back in Oct. of 2021. He's making plans to go to the South Pacific, then maybe Africa. This was our first dive trip in forever. But yea, in no way was I trying to 'show off' about going to Mexico. I legit wanted some guidance and the OTW page, no one chimed in. He is.. he roots for them because of me. He's more of a college fan (we are Oklahoma State alum), so not a die hard Bills fan like I am. But it worked out and had a great time!
  12. You don't think UT Martin is a powerhouse team to play in week 8? lol AGREE completely. This is why we (those pro expansion) are happy about going from 4 to 12 teams. We are here talking about teams like Alabama with a loss v a TCU team with no losses, or Tenn v Ohio State. 12 team playoff will help settle a lot of this.
  13. How so? I asked about a suggestion on a Sports Bar. All that was there last time I went was "Carlos and Charlies"... which isn't even around anymore. Cozumel is about as expensive as going to Jacksonville, Florida. I didn't go to New Zealand to dive. You can fly from DFW to there for $400/person and get a room/dive package for $150/night. Sorry I asked for help so I could watch our Bills play 🙄 Just make sure anytime someone asks where the a Bills Backer bar is in the city they are traveling too... reply with the "Someone wants to say they are traveling somewhere".
  14. ND did just beat up Syracuse on the road. I think Ohio State is better due to their defense and the fact, basically none of the games were close... at all. The closest game was the game at Penn State, right? We know Happy Valley isn't the easiest place to play and they were due for a 'let down' at some point where their defense wasn't near perfect. Besides the PSU 13 point win, no other team was in the same league as the Buckeyes, TCU CLOSE CALLS SMU: Was a one score game with 2:30 left in the game, gave up 34 points and nearly 500 yards KU: Won by 7 points against a KU team with their backup QB in the game. Game was tied with 1:30 to play. Frogs gave up 540 yards on defense OSU: Beat my Pokes by 3 in doubt OT. Cowboys QB Spencer Sanders was at about 70% for the game. OSU was up 17 points at one point and TCU gave up 400 yards KSU: Wildcats were up 18 at one point and it was a one score game nearly the entire 2nd half. KSU put up 400 yards on TCU. K-State is GOOD though. WVU: Was a 34-31 game with :20 seconds to play. WVU is terrible this year. TCU allowed 430 yards of offense Not sure how Ohio State would be ranked behind TCU. Ohio State has again, dominated every game they've played other than the Penn State game. Can't say that about TCU. Disagree about OU being "solid". 0-49 v Texas isn't what a solid team does. Dillion Gabriel only played a quarter for OU in the TCU game. Same goes for my Pokes. #6 in total defense (tOSU) vs #89 (TCU)
  15. I never said we would. I thought before the season started, we'd be a top 4 team in the Big XII. I didn't think we'd even have a shot for the Big XII title game again with so many lost on defense and losing our star RB. But we managed until last week. Offensive line has been patched together with ducktape and rope the past 3 weeks. Somehow managed to come back 17 down to beat Texas with players who were 3rd on the depth chart in week one. Top RB, top WR, 3 starting OL, two starting DE, 2 DB's - all out for the Kansas State game. Still would have lost the game if they played, but again... really banged up. All that said, I was talking about... and I didn't think Alabama deserves to be in the CFP this year. Still don't.. It would STILL be a damn shame if an 11-1 Alabama makes it in over a TCU who might be 13-0. That's what I'm talking about dude. Doesn't have anything to do with OSU Agreed. I think I'd put Ohio State at 3 over TCU. The Horned Frogs are GOOD, but they should have lost to my Pokes and barely got by Kansas and WVU.
  16. It's one of the most popular destinations in Mexico for Americans to visit, especially divers. So I figured many here have been. If I was going to Saint Kitts, I wouldn't have bothered to ask.
  17. We went to "No Name Bar" which was GREAT. Food wasn't spectacular, but a solid 7 out of 10. Lots of alcohol choices. But they had a dozen TV with NFL Sunday Ticket and even had the announcers over the speaker system instead of it being muted. If I end up back there during season in the future, I'll def. go there again. They even had Bills stuff on the wall, but they let me add my own sticker and Oklahoma State sticker (My dad and I, he's 71 and is as active as a 30 year old... looks more like he's 50!) Yes, because NO ONE answered in the "Off the Wall" forum. Not sure anyone ever goes on there.
  18. Not at all dude. I legit wondered what the best place to watch a game would be. I didn't want to go to Hooters or Dick's. Figured many people have been there and watched some kind of game.
  19. I'm sure there are a few Mafia members who have been to Cozumel... anyone know of a good place to watch the game tonight (with good food?) Thanks!
  20. I wish the VPN didn't work for this Oklahoma State game. Ugh.
  21. How do I do that? Really want to watch the Oklahoma State game. I believe I can catch our Bills game at a local bar. They had the WS game on earlier.
