Reminder:
Normal font - Indifferent/Neutral

Goals are: read seventy-five books, finish five video games, write something novel-length and write something original. These last two goals CAN be combined. So you know, nearly the exact same goals from last year.

Stainless by Fahye | The Untamed | Lan Zhan/Wei Wuxian | 6.5k | "I'm starting to feel," says Lan Xichen, "that this was a counterproductive suggestion."
sleep in your bed by copperwings | The Untamed | Lan Zhan/Wei Wuxian | 12k | or; Wei WuXian has a tendency to fall asleep in places where he shouldn't. Lan WangJi disapproves.
by the grace of a ride along by brawlite | The Witcher | Geralt/Jaskier | 5k | They shouldn't so often find themselves in situations like this. And yet.
this line bisects by adspexi | The Queen’s Thief | Attolia/Eugenides/Costis | 1k | The rumors around Costis' status as a royal favorite haven't quieted down. The king doesn't seem to mind.
Be kind by longnationalnightmare | The Magicians | Quentin/Eliot | 10k | It was absurd how much Eliot meant it— you’re cute—so cute Eliot wanted to swallow him whole.
Reclaimed by betts | Star Wars | Reylo | 14k | Or: After the passing of new legislation, Rey and thousands of other omegas are rescued from the abusive grasps of their alphas. She gets adopted by a new alpha and braces herself for the cruelty she’s grown used to. But Ben isn’t like other alphas, and Rey slowly warms to his kindness.
Make a list of things you need by longnationalnightmare | The Magicians | Quentin/Eliot | 10k | “Whose wedding?” he asked, and only stopped assessing the room when Eliot failed to answer. “El, who’s getting married?”

love is touching souls (surely you touched mine) by ToAStranger | Harry Potter | Harry Potter/Tom Riddle | 34k | Voldemort is dead. It's Christmas, and Harry's just opened a gift from Fred and George Weasley.
back to back by serenfire | The Witcher | Geralt/Jaskier | 13k | (Or: If Yennefer gets to be improbably naked in canon, then I am making Jaskier equally, if not more, naked. It's equality.)
You're a Story (I Can Follow) by Page161of180 | The Magicians | Queliot | 20k | The Monster's been defeated, Quentin is dead, and Eliot has a quest of his own--if he can trust himself to complete it. An Orpheus and Eurydice remix.

The Genius of the Western River by Siria | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Shane/Ryan | 14k | Shane’s totally working on being flippant about all those times he joked about Ryan’s godlike physique, never suspecting how true those jokes might be—the two of them just have to defeat a supernatural serial killer first.

A Temporary Favor by oxymoronic | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 30k | It’s barely three days since El closed the gate when Hopper tells him he wants to rip a hole in space and time to rescue Billy Hargrove. Steve thinks it’s the dumbest thing he’s ever heard.
February
it’s a long way forward (so trust in me) by suzukiblu | The Witcher | Geralt/Jaskier | 25k | “Does that stop heat?” Jaskier asks curiously, absentmindedly tuning his lute as he speaks. He hadn’t thought anything could, but, well . . . witchers and their potions.
Love as You Are by thisgirlsays22 | The Witcher | Geralt/Jaskier | 16k | Jaskier didn’t want to marry just any noblewoman--no matter how comely she may be--he wanted adventure and many loves, but most importantly his biggest, greatest love of all.
GERALT'S A SOFT BOI send tweet by relenafanel | The Witcher | Geralt/Jaskier | 2k | WIP | “Hey, so this is where you ended up,” Jaskier said, sliding into the chair across from Geralt in the sad truck-stop diner 50 kilometres outside of the backwater swamp-dump reporting an infestation of drowners.
The Rule Of Opposites by entanglednow | Good Omens | Aziraphale/Crowley | 6k | In which they are opposing forces, not designed to touch, anathema to each other. Crowley refuses to accept it.
have you noticed I’ve been gone? by suzukiblu | The Witcher | Geralt/Jaskier | 12k | Jaskier is a very good kisser, and almost kisses Geralt often enough, which is a damn sight closer than most people get. Even when he’s paying for it, he doesn’t get kissed enough. Jaskier gets close, though.
Chattoter Trending by DragonBandit | Pokemon | Leon/Raihan | 2.5k | Neither Raihan or Leon have told the greater public about their relationship. Then Raihan posts the wrong picture to Chattoter.
from me to you by Ceta | The Untamed | Wei Wuxian/Lan Zhan | 14k | Wei Too Cool ✓ @wei-wuxian

The Absolutely True Story of the Yiling Patriarch: A Manifesto in Many Parts by aubreyli | The Untamed | Wei Wuxian/Lan Zhan | 20k | “Love?” he croaks, then clears his throat and tries again. “Lan Zh— uh, Hanguang-jun, in love?”
bend all the rules by brawlite | Stranger Things | Harringrove | 14k | Billy knows that it’s a bad idea to hook up with his old high school rival and certified Straight Guy™, Steve Harrington -- but Hawkins is real bleak during the holidays, and Billy’s just trying to make it through winter break without dying of boredom.
April
Probability Engine by @kaikamahine | The Watchmaker of Filigree Street | Keita/Thaniel | 22k | The worst part about knowing you will have to shove Merrick Tremayne into the path of an oncoming cannonball is that you genuinely enjoy the man's company. Unfortunately, this becomes something of a recurring theme.
rare the man who'll hold to faith by Fahye | The Untamed | Wei Wuxian/Lan Zhan | 13k | "There is the mark of our bargain, and here is the challenge," said the Yiling Patriarch.
a stone to break your soul, a song to save it by rikke | The Untamed | Wei Wuxian/Lan Zhan | 180k | When the entire cultivation world turns against Wei WuXian, Jiang Cheng comes up with a plan to save him and arranges a marriage between his brother and the Second Jade of Lan, Lan WangJi.
a prize for rotten judgement by sarcasticfishes | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 10k | “You’d drive each other crazy. You sit together at your office all day, and then you’d be commuting home together, eating dinner together, watching TV together, going to bed — well, not together, but you get it, right?”
Linger in the Sun by etymologyplayground | The Untamed | Wei Wuxian/Lan Zhan | 39k | "Tell Lan Zhan that I'm weeping uncontrollably," Wei Wuxian says to the juniors. "Tell him I'm truly pitiful and he needs to do everything I say until I'm well again."

If Life Was A Movie We’d Have A Better Soundtrack Than This by galaxysoup | The Guardian | Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan | 46k | The first time Shen Wei meets Zhao Yunlan is when he innocently steps out of his Monday morning office hours and is immediately slammed into by 180 pounds of cop pursuing a suspect on foot.
Sex, Science, and True Love: A Rigid Analysis of the Practical Applications of Dual Cultivation by aubreyli | The Untamed | Wei Wuxian/Lan Zhan | 24k | WIP | “The Lans are far too boring and repressed for something like this,” Wei Wuxian said, with the authority of one who had been resoundingly ignored by a Lan for the past month. “Can you imagine Lan Wangji dual cultivating?”
and so my heart beats wildly by lily_winterwood | The Untamed | Wei Wuxian/Lan Zhan | 106k | “You know, you’re the one to beat this year,” Jiang Cheng offers helpfully, having seen the glare from right next to him. “Hanguang-jun’s been through juniors with the rest of us, he knows all of our tics. You’re an unknown variable, since he’s never competed against you before.”
Weird and/or Wonderful by beethechange | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Shane/Ryan | 12k | Or: During the filming of an episode of Weird and/or Wonderful World, Ryan tosses a shoelace and a wish in an ancient magical wishing well. Mistakes are made.
one good thing by Yuu_chi | The Untamed | Wei Wuxian/Lan Zhan | 26k | Wei Wuxian has been haunting his childhood home for three years. He's perfected the fine art of scaring away all the tenants, and has grown used to living with the dying flowers in the garden as his only company.
stay with me, go places by beethechange | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Shane/Ryan | 16k | “Never have I ever,” Shane says, feeling his way delicately around the syllables, making nice with all the consonants and vowels, “hooked up with a friend at a wedding.”
once more with feeling by sarsaparillia | Oxenfree | Alex/Jonas | 26k | Alex, stumbling through the time-stream.
hey boy, take a look at me by weakspots | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 17k | Ryan is 27, for Christ’s sake, and he’s not exactly hideous, so there’s really no reason to spend his money on a dude — a dude — whose face he’ll never see but whose livestreams he’s been jerking off to for roughly 4 months now.
Warm Blanket by surveycorpsjean | Promare | Lio/Galo | 19k | He wonders if Lio remembers.

my age has never made me wise by idrilka | The Untamed | Wei Wuxian/Lan Zhan | 63k | “We hear that His Excellency might be married by summer’s end,” the merchant’s wife says and Wei Wuxian freezes, his heart in his throat. “The Gusu Lan sect has been buying enough red silk and brocade that the merchants in Caiyi can’t satisfy the demand.”

Sarva by rageprufrock | Guardian | Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan | 5k | Or, 一切. At work, in public, Shen Wei is meticulously, seamlessly polite. In bed, he's something else.
Heartbeat by quackers | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 66k | So the guy Ryan sits next to at work is a vampire. That's no big deal, right?
Soup-pocalypse and The Great Curry Cataclysm by SquadOfCats | Harry Potter | Draco/Harry | 104k | Eleven years after the war, Draco Malfoy leads a quiet, boring, and perfectly respectable life, thanks very much. Or, at least he does, until a sudden and very unexpected veela awakening causes him to throw soup all over Harry Potter in the middle of the Ministry cafeteria.
until you fit beneath me (and you’re breaking like a wave) by beethechange | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | In which Shane Madej succumbs to the mortifying ordeal of being known—but not before being a real butthead about it for many thousands of words first.
there is no such thing by gh0stly | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 10k | A simple investigation turns serious as Ryan suspects the black dog of Hawthorn road isn't the only demonic entity to have followed him home.
oracle bones by orphan_account | Avatar: TLA | Zuko/Katara | 3k | The foreign, pictorial characters that bracelet Zuko's left wrist have never been covered in any of his lessons. He cannot read them.
Third Time's A Charm by quackers | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 31k | Shane can't help but fall for the hot young lifeguard that stars in his Baywatch inspired daydreams, but he has a secret that no one can know. Not even Ryan.
Milk and Honey by quackers | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 18k | Sure, the fae were real. Everyone knew that.Ryan being fae? As likely as ghosts existing.
Technically-Terrestrial by quackers | Buzzfeed Unsolved | 60k | Nearly forty years ago, the disgraced group of an alien race found refuge amongst the population of Earth.And now Shane Madej, who is more-or-less human, kind-of-actually-an-alien, has to convince his terrified best friend Ryan that he's not about to abduct him.
play me like a love song by sky_somedays | Buzzfeed Unsolved | Ryan/Shane | 10k | Shane is Ryan's beleaguered history TA. Ryan won't stop suggesting insane theories.

2019-04-19 - 09:00-12:00 - The Midway
The Midway returns for its annual one and only Friday show of the year, April 19, 2019. The theme: funeral songs. For some, a sombre or pithy reflection. For others, a sentimental soundtrack - or even a jolly celebration. Some of these songs have become legends unto themselves, while others have birthed new traditions. Enjoy a wickedly woke wake as we explore some famous funeral tunes, and invite listeners to get in touch with their own bury melodies.

It’s hard to imagine Starz’s “Outlander” ending an episode on even more of a downer than Frank Randall’s death, but tonight’s installment, “Of Lost Things,” managed to do just that.
Four episodes into the third season, it felt like we just might be getting closer to the Claire and Jamie reunion that’s been teased since last year’s finale. For one thing, Claire’s story line is no longer taking place in flashback: “Of Lost Things” saw the Boston surgeon, along with daughter Brianna and new historian pal Roger Wakefield, still in 1968 Scotland and painstakingly researching Jamie’s post-1746 whereabouts.
But “Outlander” had a bit more conflict to throw our way before Claire can contemplate another trip to Craigh na Dun, which is why I’m arguing that the conclusion of tonight’s episode was far sadder than the show’s farewell to Frank. As sobering as Professor Randall’s death was, that development at least allowed last week’s episode to end on a note of hope: With Frank out of the picture, the door was finally open for Claire and Jamie to find their way back to each other (what’s 200 years between lovers?).
However, with Claire, Bree and Roger having hit a wall in their research – they can’t find any documentation of Jamie’s existence after he was moved from Ardsmuir Prison in 1755 – it appears Dr. Randall’s time-travel plans have been indefinitely postponed. The episode concluded with a dejected Claire and Bree on a plane back to Boston, their carefully coiffed heads hung in defeat.
Though that’s still not even the most depressing moment from the “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”-soundtracked montage that closed out “Of Lost Things.” No, that prize goes to Jamie riding away from the Helwater estate while his son, Willie, screams for him to come back, in a scene that echoes the final shot from the 1953 Western “Shane.”
That’s right, big doings for Jamie this episode: He became a daddy! But don’t start pouring any celebratory whiskeys just yet, because since Willie was illegitimate, Jamie had to conceal his paternity in the six years he spent with the boy.
Suffice to say, whether it’s Claire in 1968 or Jamie in 1764, both Frasers are feeling pretty despondent about their prospects. But “Of Lost Things” drove home a truth that should still give viewers a strong sense of optimism going forward: By becoming parents, Claire, and especially now Jamie, have the fortitude that they will need to not just reunite, but rebuild their relationship.
Claire’s newfound inner strength was already established by the end of the season three premiere, following Brianna’s birth. Having Bree made it far easier for Claire to move on with her life – though maybe not with Frank – because she had a reason to get out of bed in the mornings. But for Jamie, things have been far more wretched: He spent six years living in a cave, then another three in Ardsmuir Prison, only to be forced into service at an English estate by his new friend and savior, Major John William Grey. Jamie also reminded viewers through a poignant line of dialogue in tonight’s episode that he has suffered the loss of two children: the stillborn Faith and, for all intents and purposes, Brianna.
Over the past four episodes, Jamie has continued to draw breath, but those eyes that once twinkled with all the possibilities of life have remained dark since he sent Claire back through the stones. A caring, albeit sexually charged (on one side) friendship with Lord Grey cannot make up for the fact that the Scotsman is still quite alone in the world, living out the years 1756 through 1764 as a glorified stable boy for the aristocratic Dunsany family.
That all changes after the conniving daughter of the estate, Lady Geneva Dunsany, blackmails Jamie into deflowering her before her wedding to an elderly earl. Their tryst results in a son, who is then brought up at Helwater under the care of his grandparents and the watchful eye of his biological dad, erm, groom.
And because this is “Outlander,” none of this took place without just a wee nip of drama: After Geneva dies in childbirth, her geezer of a husband, furious that his wife bore him a bastard, tries to murder the baby. Jamie then single-handedly saves his child by shooting the wrathful nobleman dead.
Disturbing as this incident was to watch – who wants to see a newborn baby with a knife held to its neck? – it wound up serving a greater purpose: It revived Jamie’s heroic side, something that has laid dormant since Culloden (though it was briefly resurrected in the second episode when Jamie performed emergency triage on Fergus’ amputated hand). Because, honestly, who else was going to rescue Willie and take out his assailant? The hand-wringing Lord and Lady Dunsany? Not likely. Once a warrior, always a warrior.
Drama aside, the birth of Willie – a positive omen for Jamie, because that’s also the name of his deceased older brother – is the best thing to happen to the Highlander in more than a decade. His life finally has purpose again, so much so that when Lady Dunsany offers him the chance of a full pardon and a return to Lallybroch, Jamie refuses, preferring to stay by Willie’s side (at a distance) for as long as possible. It’s a satisfying set of scenes, because as lonely as Claire has been back in the 20th century, at least she – and by extension, Frank – has felt the indelible joy of being a parent. This is something Jamie was robbed of the second he insisted Claire return to the 1940s. True, Jamie still doesn’t get the full parental experience, what with having to hide the truth from pretty much everyone, including the boy himself, but after spending so many years alone and in drudgery, he deserves this little taste of paternal bliss.
But it’s a short-lived bliss, because this is still 1760s England and Jamie is still a lowly Scottish servant (Laird Broch Tuarach? Might as well be Lord of the Moon to these Jacobite haters) and, to quote Willie, a “stinkin’ Papist.” By the time Willie is six years old, too many people are noticing his stark resemblance to the groomsman he calls “Mac” (at Helwater, Jamie is known as “Alex MacKenzie”), which motivates Jamie to reluctantly take his leave of the estate.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Jamie and Lord Grey remains a complicated one. Although Jamie personally asked Grey to be Willie’s father, he did so by offering his body as payment for Grey’s sacrifice, as he no longer has anything to his name – no money, no land and no title. Grey refuses out of respect for his friend, but the fact that Jamie felt the need to present himself as a sexual object just goes to show that there are still deep, lingering scars from Black Jack Randall’s torment.
The Highlander may not have been allowed to directly raise his son, but Jamie still found ways to create everlasting bonds with Willie, such as the touching scene where he stages a secret baptism ceremony. After Willie expresses his desire to be a “stinkin’ Papist” like his best pal “Mac,” Jamie gives the boy his own name, rechristening him “William James.” As if that weren’t enough to turn on the waterworks, Jamie also bestows Willie with his own hand-carved wooden snake – just like the one Jamie’s brother Willie once made for him – complete with the boy’s name etched on the side.
Between the elegiac “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” cover and Jamie’s anguished expression as he resists the urge to look back at Willie, there was more than enough to smash our collective hearts into a million pieces in that final scene. But, while Jamie’s future remains unknown, we’re given enough reason to believe that this will not be the end of the Scotsman’s relationship with his son. Willie has been left in the hands of one of the few people Jamie still trusts in this world: John Grey, who has agreed to marry Geneva’s sister, Lady Isobel Dunsany, despite his admitted lack of interest in women.
Jamie may not be able to live by Willie’s side anymore, but what’s important about this episode is that his future is brighter now than it has been in 18 years. Fatherhood has still given him the fresh start he so desperately needed in order to move forward. Now, not only is he no longer a prisoner, but he’s no longer a broken shell of his former self.
Don’t give up on him yet, Claire.

New singeplayer features in Stardew Valley
I’ve played a couple of hours with the new update for the game and so far have discovered a fair deal of things. There might be some obvious things that I haven’t seen yet, or wont see, due to playing with my current playthrough which is in the Spring of Year 4.
I’ve kept the description failry spoiler free and only included info about who the new scenes involves and how to trigger it. However, if you wish to discover them yourself and avoid getting them spoiled, then dont read ahead!
If you’ve discovered something taht I haven’t listed here, feel free to send me a message! <3 I’d love to discover everything!
Edit: added some new stuff!
A new scene with Evelyn appears where she arrives at your farm to give you a garden pot and the recipe to make your own. Garden pots makes you plant crops inside the house all season and also outside (but the crops has to be from your current season, just like when you plant crops normally). The garden pot makes it much easier to use most of the space you have at your farm, in case you choose one of those farm maps that has a lot of untillable grass.
Exit Robin’s house to trigger a scene with Linus. It is super sweet!
Go to Cindersap Forest and you’ll see a cutscene with Vincent and Jas that actually gives a reward that can help in early game (when you just made a new game that is).
The icon for Ancient Seed has been updated in the craft menu. Now it looks much different than the Winter wild seeds package!
When you’re riding your horse, there is now sounds that fits with what surface you’re walking on. Now running on grass actually have grassy sounds!
I think when you enter the beach, or Willy’s house, you’ll trigger a new scene with involves Willy and Gus.
You can now build a house for Pam and Penny! The house costs 500.000g and 950 wood. When the house is finished, a scene will trigger involving Robin, Pam and Penny.
If you sell your crops to Pierre, he will sell it to the villagers and if you go and speak with them, they will tell you they have bought it! So far I’ve heard at least Demetrius, Sam and Pam talk about it.
People will comment on what you did for Pam and Penny.
When married to Shane, he seems to have more dialogue when you speak to him. Not sure if others have more dialogue or its only the recent bachelor/bachelorettes which got a bit more dialogue, since they didn’t have as many as the “old” ones.
I’ve spotted a lot of new urniture that can be used for decoration. I’ve seen some odd ones from Krobus, Dwarf and Robin. Some of these are statues, others were seasonal plants (which apparently changes appearance according to season.)
You can now build signs!
There seem to be more dialogue with NPCs when you approach them for a chat. I believe that I spotted a new one when I talked to Elliott, but I could be wrong.
Marnie now sells a “auto-grabber” which will gather produce every morning when its placed in the barn. Nifty!
Three new fishes are available to catch! I have yet to find out where and how. (it’s quite possible they are related to the new event during winter)
You can now change your professions in the sewers. Interact with the statue on the left side of the sewers and you can change it for a price. (i believe it was either 50.000g or 100.000g)
There is a new event during Winter! (I have yet to experience it myself, so I am unsure what it actually does)
If you gain 10 hearts with ALL the bachelors/bachelorettes, they will call you out for being a player. They will also act more cold towards you. (You’ll get a scene where all the girls/boys are gathered)
You can now buy and place a fireplace in your home.
It is possible this is a bug, but aside that the trading caravan has a small window where she says something, she was out of stock? Either they have made it so that she only has some items in stock every now and then, instead of always having something but its random what it is. Again, it might be a bug and she is supposed to have something in stock.
You can buy cactus seed from Sandy! They can only be planted inside, so use those Garden Pots from Evelyn!

Frigid Bitch 2018 Results
The 5th Annual Frigid Bitch:
…not the coldest,
…not the warmest,
…not the longest…
At 9am on Saturday February 17th, 2018, the race organizer drove down to the north shore trail to check for ice and found herself staring at the river. There was no trail. Pittsburgh was flooded, the Point was underwater, the steps and railings leading down to the trail were protruding out of 10 extra feet of river along with signage and street lights. Well shit. That would fuck up the route map. Or would it? One of the checkpoints was on the West End Bridge, (or more accurately - under it, in the pedestrian tunnel) and most cyclists would either know or check the map and see the best way to get there is to take the trail. But from the kayak rental station under the Three Sisters Bridges to the Carnegie Science Center, the trail was The Allegheny. Well, if anyone follows the map and ends up staring into the river, we’ll chalk that up to race-day obstacles. They’ll just have to find their way around it.
Set up started early at Spirit, bike-rack equipped cars were already in the lot, and randonneur extraordinaire Monica VanDieran popped in first thing for the second year in a row to grab her spokecard, manifest and shirt. A steady stream of ladies rolled into the upper lodge to register and claim a corner to huddle over their maps and start plotting routes. An hour later an announcement was made that the race would start in 30 minutes and we were at 95 registered racers, so call your friends! Pittsburgh Babes on Bikes had decided that for our 5th year, in an attempt to beat all known previous records of ladies cycling fields, 100% of the registration fee would be donated to the Greater Pittsburgh Women’s Shelter if the race broke 100 riders. 10 minutes later Ngani Ndimble and Franky Montenegro registered as 99 and 100 and a great cheer erupted around the hall. In that moment, hundreds of dollars were pledged to the Shelter and the Frigid Bitch established itself as Pittsburgh’s biggest ladies’-only race ever. Ten minutes after that, the rules and general info for the race were announced from the stage.
Make as many checkpoints as you can. Go in any order, via any route. Ride however you want, but DON’T GET HURT. Watch out for potholes. Make sure the volunteers get your spokecard number before you roll out! If Paul Beaver tries to make you do something stupid, don’t listen to him. Don’t give my volunteers any shit. Unless they’re Paul Beaver, then give him as much shit as you want. Checkpoints close at 2, race ends at 3. You must be back at Spirit at 3pm! When you get back, FIND ME to check in. Any questions???
From there, the crowd started heading outside to gear up, unlock their bikes, and pile onto the street. One of the volunteers walked out and said “Damn, there’s so many ladies out here! It looks like we’re about to take down the government or something!” Still 5 minutes from the start, the clusterfuck on 51st street started to back up towards Stanton ave. Incoming brunchers were stuck between Butler st and Spirit, and very few racers felt inclined to make way. The clock ticked towards noon. Returning 2017 racers laughed that the light at the end of the street would again be red for the start, so at the last second the proverbial starting shot was moved to the moment that light turned green. A panicky last-minute rider showed up to register, and 106 kick-ass Frigid Bitch racers surged forward towards the checkpoints!
THE CHECKPOINTS
The Button
The closest checkpoint to the starting location was the Button, a concrete slab on the side of the river that doubles as a semi-secret hang-out spot. The route map showed a set of railroad tracks at the end of a nearby street, which had to be followed on the diagonal across an off-camber grassy stretch. Originally, volunteers were going to stand on the button and make racers ditch their bikes, climb down a rooty mud cliff, and clamber up next to them to get credit for the stop. HOWEVER, when the guys arrived to set up the checkpoint, they immediately realized that was not going to work. The button was completely submerged in the river. No trace of it was there to be seen. So instead, they built a fire on the traintracks and told racers they’d make extra points for shotgunning a beer (untrue). "A" for effort!
Stanton Ave
Another nearby checkpoint was not at all secret - the top of the well-known brutally long climb that is Stanton Ave. Impossible to approach from any direction without slogging up one of many hills, your only option is steep or steeper. A lot of racers opted to get this checkpoint out of the way first, and then stop for a minute for one of Bruce’s hot toddies at the fire station. Hell yeah!
Troy Hill Stairs
For anyone who decided to hit the button first and then make their way west, the next checkpoint down the river was the massive staircase that connects the sidewalk along route 28 to Troy Hill. Shane was hanging out at the bottom to let everyone know that the checkpoint…was much closer to the top. Some carried their bikes with them (most ditched them with Shane, who ended up fixing a few), hiked up the winding steps and were greeted by a cheerleading squad toting pickles, pineapple, whiskey, and a cowbell. Zack was hopping around and playing “Ring My Bell” by Anita Ward over and over and over on his boombot, and Ryan was yelling for racers to…wait for it…. ring the bell! to get credit for the stop. Frigid Bitch volunteers are the best!
The West End Bridge
Further down the river past the flooded out North Shore, riders had to find the staircase leading up to the West End Bridge’s pedestrian tunnel! Helpfully, Paul Beaver had decorated them out with balloons, and Tim brought back his creepy friend to point the ladies in the right direction. Colin had set up a camp stove with mulled wine and coffee in the tunnel for anyone who needed to heat up some. There was a group of ladies who sure enough, not realizing the river was flooded, not knowing another way around, made it to the washed out section of the trail and decided they were gonna just ride through the water, fuck it. “I didn’t know when I showed up for this race that I’d be biking through the Allegheny River!” Drenched, they rode with frozen feet, until Tim pulled a couple pairs of socks outta his truck and doled em out.
Water Tower on the Hill
In the middle of the city, the diva of the checkpoints was the Hill District Water Tower. Anyone following the route map would go across Bigelow Blvd (either up the fast-paced bridge and through a shitty intersection, or along the sidewalk and then up and down the stairs to the pedestrian overpass), up a gnarly hill, up a worse hill, up a staircase, up a brick road, and then either find the dirt trail through the park or climb up a grass embankment where volunteers made them hug the water tower before they could move on. It ruled! Even riders who trekked their own way to the tower found themselves winding up potholed-nightmare roads and climbing other staircases.
The Wheel Mill and Pocusset
The two furthest checkpoints out were also some of the most straight forward - pretty much everyone knows where the Wheel Mill is, and Pocusset is a street that’s been turned by the city into a cyclist-only road connecting Squirrel Hill to the Greenfield Bridge. The Wheel Mill, almost at the city limits, was the furthest checkpoint from the start. The lack of traffic on Pocusset is great, but it’s also a super windy hill, and one rider bombed down it so fast in her determination to kick ass she slid out, terrifying the volunteers. She knows how to power through tho, and made it to the finish beat up but in good time.
Pittsburgh was flooding, but the temps were freezing and halfway through the race snow and sleet had started falling. When riders finished and bolted down the steps of Spirit to yell out their spokecard #s, water sprayed from their helmets, down their faces and careened off their noses and gloves to spray anyone around them. Alex K said she had to ride her fixie from the button to the finish line with her signature heart-shaped sunglasses clenched in her teeth bc they were all snowed over. Ladies arrived, soaked and grinning about how hard and terrible and awesome the race was. Women who had just moved here a few months ago came out and met new cyclists, complete strangers rode together, one racer said she had been spectating at the Dirty Dozen when a woman she didn’t know asked her if she’d ever heard of the Frigid Bitch. “No, but I googled it and it looked fun so I just came out!” They were packing into the bar, taking over the tables and floor space, ordering pizza and drying out while the numbers were crunched and the results were tallied.
The Results!!

The Donation
This exhilarating bitch of a race definitely has its obstacles - from the cold, snow, ice, floods, stairs, mud, brick… - but registration fees won’t be one of them. As long as we are running it, it will always be $5. With 106 registered racers, all of whom made it to the minimum 1 checkpoint, the registration money in its entirety will be donated to the Women’s Shelter this year. Inspired by that goal, registration #s were matched by two outside benefactors, bringing the amount raised to $905. Congratulations to all the ladies who hauled themselves to Spirit; YOU made that happen! Two decades ago 100 pro cyclist women raced the streets of Pittsburgh in pursuit of the US championship and a $25,000 prize purse. This year at the Frigid Bitch you broke that record in the pursuit of alley-cat glory and support of victims of domestic violence. Pgh Babes on Bikes is so proud, and grateful for making our 100+ rider dream come true, we are going to bump that number up to $1,000. Cuz it just feels like a good number to put on a check.
THANK YOU to all of the racers who came out to bust apart records, kick ass and grant wishes. Thanks to all the volunteers, for showing up, cheering, bringing hot booze, doing hilarious shit and gettin creative with your stops! Thanks to the photographers for memorializing this race forever and catching everyone’s glee and embarrassing moments! Thank you to the video team; we CAN’T WAIT to see what you do with the race footage! Thank you to my lovely assistants and stage bouncer, and to my little brother for the epic, amazing, incredible artwork.
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS, who donate mountains of swag so no matter how big our numbers get, everyone gets rad stuff!
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

Power Rankings -- Who starred for each team in 2019
New Post has been published on https://viraljournalist.com/power-rankings-who-starred-for-each-team-in-2019/
Power Rankings -- Who starred for each team in 2019
Heading into the last week of the season, the division races are almost all won, leaving the wild-card races to provide a bit of drama. You’ll find some of that same balance between certainty and anticipation in this week’s rankings. The voters unanimously selected the newly crowned American League West champion Astros our unanimous No. 1 over the challenges from the Dodgers and Yankees. They also rewarded the teams doing the best job of securing their wild-card bids, with the A’s cracking the top five and the Brewers climbing up to No. 11.
For Week 25, our panel of voters was Bradford Doolittle, Christina Kahrl, Eric Karabell, Tim Kurkjian and David Schoenfield.
Houston Astros
2019 record: 102-54
Week 24 ranking: 1
While another World Series title would be nice, several awards should be coming Houston’s way this fall. Right-hander Justin Verlander figures to earn his second Cy Young Award (he won with Detroit in 2011), likely holding off teammate Gerrit Cole. Meanwhile, rookie outfielder Yordan Alvarez boasts an OPS better than 1.000 and could end up knocking in a run per game. Sure, Alvarez has played barely half a big league season, but the numbers are ridiculous. Carlos Correa won top AL rookie honors in 2015, but he did not have numbers like these. — Eric Karabell
ICYMI: A superteam showdown? A historic rematch? The World Series matchups we want to see
Los Angeles Dodgers
2019 record: 100-56
Week 24 ranking: 2
Cody Bellinger is not only the Dodgers’ MVP for 2019, but probably the favorite to win the National League MVP, as well. Clayton Kershaw won MVP honors in 2014, but the last Dodgers position player to win was Kirk Gibson in 1988. With 8.6 bWAR entering Sunday, Bellinger has recorded just the 11th 8-WAR season by a position player in Dodgers history and the highest since Adrian Beltre’s 9.6 in 2004. The others: Mike Piazza, Willie Davis, Duke Snider (three times), Jackie Robinson (three times) and Dan Brouthers. — David Schoenfield
ICYMI: How the Dodgers are better built for October than everyone else
New York Yankees
2019 record: 102-55
Week 24 ranking: 3
Yankees fans like to spin DJ LeMahieu as an overall AL MVP candidate. He has been an amazing story, but he isn’t on the level of Mike Trout or Alex Bregman. However, LeMahieu clearly is the team MVP with 6.0 WAR, plus some bonus points for his ability to play all over the field. LeMahieu leads the team in runs and RBIs and still has a shot at the AL batting crown. I guess he can hit outside of Coors Field.– Schoenfield
ICYMI: Severino’s sizzling return shakes up October picture
Atlanta Braves
2019 record: 96-61
Week 24 ranking: 4
Ronald Acuna Jr. and Freddie Freeman are potential top-five finishers in the NL MVP vote — but they only rank third and fifth on the team in bWAR: Josh Donaldson 5.9, Mike Soroka 5.6, Acuna 5.5, Ozzie Albies 4.8, Freeman 4.6. Who do you have? I give the slightest of nods to Acuna. That power/speed combo at the top of the lineup sets the tone, plus he has started in center, left and right, with very good defensive metrics. — Schoenfield
ICYMI:
Who was Braves’ best addition to earn NL East repeat?
Oakland Athletics
2019 record: 94-62
Week 24 ranking: 6
With 32 home runs and 120 runs scored, shortstop Marcus Semien clearly is having a season for the ages from the leadoff slot for the A’s. But his 7.9 WAR also ranks 19th among MLB shortstops since 1947, and just three shortstops have delivered that kind of season in the past 20 years — Hall of Famer Derek Jeter, Hall-worthy Alex Rodriguez and peer Francisco Lindor just last season. — Christina Kahrl
ICYMI: How the A’s rebuilt a winner without tanking
Minnesota Twins
2019 record: 96-60
Week 24 ranking: 5
Shortstop Jorge Polanco will not lead the Twins in home runs or RBIs, but he is the clear club leader in wins above replacement and makes the strongest case for Twins MVP. Yes, five Twins have surpassed 30 home runs, but Polanco is by far the leader in hits and total bases. A year ago, Polanco served an 80-game PED suspension, and while he hit in the second half, few viewed him as a potential star. Prospect Nick Gordon figured to displace Polanco at some point. Few are talking about that now. Good for Polanco, a rock for the likely AL Central champs in the No. 2 lineup spot and at shortstop. — Karabell
Tampa Bay Rays
2019 record: 92-64
Week 24 ranking: 7
The Rays might or might not reach the playoffs, but they’ve already topped 90 wins. They have one position player (Willy Adames) with a chance to play in 150 games and just one pitcher anywhere close to qualifying for the ERA title. That pitcher, Charlie Morton, has been the one Rays starter who has simply been there for the team all season. He is going to end up with 33 starts and over 190 innings, with a 143 ERA+. The Rays might have been able to piece together his innings total had Morton thrown, say, 100 IP. But thanks to him, they didn’t have to, and his performance would have been tough to replicate even with Tampa Bay’s hive approach to roster building. — Bradford Doolittle
ICYMI: What do the Rays have to do to make the playoffs?
St. Louis Cardinals
2019 record: 89-67
Week 24 ranking: 8
Four critical victories in Chicago during the weekend have the Cardinals on the verge of clinching the NL Central title, having already earned at least a wild-card spot. It has been a total team effort of late, with numerous Cardinals players standing out. But one in particular has been veteran right-hander Adam Wainwright: He has won four consecutive starts to begin September, with an 0.33 ERA in those games. — Tristan H. Cockcroft
ICYMI:
Cards close in on postseason return at Cubs’ expense
Cleveland Indians
2019 record: 92-64
Week 24 ranking: 10
Projection systems such as ZiPS of FanGraphs’ Dan Szymborski picked Shane Bieber as a big breakout player in 2019. But seeing that on the page is one thing; watching it unfold over six months of baseball is another. Bieber has posted a league-best walk rate, he leads the majors in complete games and shutouts, his 10.9 K/9 rates in MLB’s top 10 — and we would not be talking about the Indians’ shot at winning an AL wild card if not for his stepping up during the same season that saw Cleveland lose former Cy Young winner Corey Kluber to injury. — Kahrl
ICYMI: Inside the Indians’ season-long domination of the Tigers
Washington Nationals
2019 record: 85-69
Week 24 ranking: 9
Anthony Rendon has earned himself a massive payout this winter as a free agent with a season that could win him NL MVP honors. He finished fifth in 2014 and sixth in 2017, but he will go higher this year. He is right up there with Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich as the top three favorites. And with Yelich missing the final two-plus weeks and Bellinger fading a bit down the stretch, Rendon could steals honors after hitting .351 in the second half with 58 RBIs in 65 games. — Schoenfield
ICYMI: Scherzer no lock to start wild-card game for Nats
Milwaukee Brewers
2019 record: 86-70
Week 24 ranking: 13
The question isn’t whether Christian Yelich is the most valuable player in Milwaukee, it’s whether he is once again the NL MVP — and that question remains open. However, that Yelich is head and shoulders above his teammates only underscores how special it is that the Brewers have rolled on even after his season was ended by a broken kneecap. Milwaukee had won 10 of 12 since Yelich last played on Sept. 10, and his replacement, rookie Trent Grisham, has filled in effectively. — Doolittle
ICYMI: Yelich talks about his injury
Chicago Cubs
2019 record: 82-74
Week 24 ranking: 11
The MVP of the Cubs’ season is a little difficult to suss out. Kris Bryant is probably the best player. Javier Baez remains the most dynamic and has a huge impact defensively. But I’ll go with Anthony Rizzo as the best combination of all the above. On a team that has been less than the sum of its parts for two seasons in a row, Rizzo has flourished situationally, with a big edge on Bryant and, especially, Baez in win probably added. On the intangible front, his early return from a badly sprained ankle for this weekend’s huge series against St. Louis was Willis Reed stuff. Rizzo is the heart and soul of the Cubs. — Doolittle
ICYMI: Even Rizzo’s magic can’t save these Cubs
Boston Red Sox
2019 record: 81-74
Week 24 ranking: 12
For any grief outgoing Red Sox baseball ops honcho Dave Dombrowski has and will receive, he figures to be able to point to the six-year, $120 million extension he gave to Xander Bogaerts as a big positive. Boston’s World Series defense was a dud, but don’t blame Bogaerts. He delivered the goods after signing his big deal this past offseason, establishing career highs in virtually every offensive category, playing improved defense and looking like a foundation piece for a Red Sox team that potentially faces significant change in the near future. — Steve Richards
ICYMI:
Why nobody might want to be Boston’s GM
New York Mets
2019 record: 81-74
Week 24 ranking: 14
Rookie Pete Alonso and versatile stalwart Jeff McNeil have definitely been the most valuable Mets hitters this season, but give credit to outfielder Michael Conforto for reaching 30 home runs for the first time. Conforto might never graduate to top-10 status among major league outfielders, but there is a statistical baseline for reliable power, a strong walk rate and competent defense. And at 26 years old, he can still improve. Better results versus left-handed pitching would be nice, and he is not really a center fielder, but Conforto has become a reliable, if occasionally overlooked, performer. — Karabell
ICYMI:
Law on how McNeil surpassed preseason expectations
Arizona Diamondbacks
2019 record: 80-76
Week 24 ranking: 15
Ketel Marte won’t win the NL MVP, but he is just outside the inner circle of contenders in one of the most surprising breakout seasons of 2019. Heck, he even had an All-Star team named after him. Placing sixth in baseball in WAR among position players, as well as seventh in slugging and OPS, plus having the versatility to play center field, second base and even a little shortstop, will do that for you. — Richards
ICYMI: Back injury ends Marte’s season
Philadelphia Phillies
2019 record: 79-75
Week 24 ranking: 16
The Phillies will look to lock up catcher J.T. Realmuto to a long-term contract this offseason. Realmuto sailed past career bests in home runs and runs batted in, and his excellent work throwing out potential base stealers should result in his first Gold Glove recognition. Myriad Phillies are to blame for the disappointing season — from the rotation to the injured bullpen to the inconsistent offense — and, clearly, management gets no pass. But Realmuto, acquired from the Marlins in February, has been awesome. — Karabell
ICYMI: Are Phillies MLB’s biggest disappointment of 2019?
Cincinnati Reds
2019 record: 72-83
Week 24 ranking: 18
Eugenio Suarez continued to build on his historic season despite the Reds’ elimination last week. Suarez hit home run No. 48 on Wednesday, moving him within four of George Foster’s 42-year-old franchise record, and he now has batted .358/.442/.806 with nine homers in 19 games in September. He has been one of the team’s better stories in an otherwise forgettable year. — Cockcroft
ICYMI:
Castillo, Suarez rank among Law’s biggest surprises of 2019
Texas Rangers
2019 record: 75-81
Week 24 ranking: 17
As flawed as WAR might be in judging pitchers, if one of your guys leads baseball in that category for virtually the whole season, it’s hard to argue he isn’t your MVP. That applies to the Rangers’ Mike Minor, who just in the past week or so was passed by Justin Verlander but still ranks second among MLB pitchers with a 7.5 WAR. Of course, Minor’s teammate Lance Lynn is just behind Minor with 6.7 WAR, fourth in baseball, and also is fourth in FanGraphs WAR at 6.0, while Minor is 19th in fWAR (4.0). So take your pick. — Richards
San Francisco Giants
2019 record: 75-81
Week 24 ranking: 19
Let’s accentuate the positive here and celebrate Madison Bumgarner getting back over 30 starts and 200 innings pitched for the first time since 2016, following two fluke injury-shortened seasons. With MadBum heading toward free agency, it was a great bounce-back campaign from one of the defining stars of the decade. Of course, it also inspired the Giants to keep him at the trade deadline as they briefly flirted with contention, which didn’t turn out quite as well. — Kahrl
ICYMI: Mike Yaz — HR in Fenway ‘super special’
Los Angeles Angels
2019 record: 70-86
Week 24 ranking: 21
Infielder David Fletcher is likely to end up the second-most valuable Angels player by WAR, which is something few expected back in March. Fletcher, in his second big league season, has played more than 35 games at three different infield positions — and also has aided in the outfield — and he easily will lead the club in hits. No, Fletcher is not much of a power hitter, but contact options remain important to a lineup, especially when they can handle most every position. Who knows what happens in 2020 or whether Fletcher secures a starting role, but for 2019 give the 25-year-old much credit. — Karabell
San Diego Padres
2019 record: 70-86
Week 24 ranking: 20
The firing of manager Andy Green on Saturday creates an attractive opening for the team’s next prospective skipper, coming off a season in which rookies Chris Paddack and Fernando Tatis Jr. should pick up votes in the Rookie of the Year race and the team has had a strong core consisting of Manny Machado, Eric Hosmer and Kirby Yates. But the beneath-the-radar story of the Padres’ second half has been Dinelson Lamet, who has a 3.20 ERA and 65 strikeouts in 45 innings in eight starts since Aug. 1. — Cockcroft
ICYMI:
Why was Pads manager Andy Green fired?
Chicago White Sox
2019 record: 68-87
Week 24 ranking: 24
The ChiSox’s 2019 MVP, Lucas Giolito, may not have more to contribute this season now that he’s shelved for the remainder of the season, but his emergence as a top-tier starter is a cornerstone development for a team emerging from a rebuild. Giolito has improved in every facet. His strikeouts are up by more than five per nine innings. His walks per nine have dropped from 4.7 to 2.9. And when everyone is hitting home runs, Giolito has given up fewer long balls than a season ago. He has been consistent and durable, traits increasingly rare among starting pitchers. The White Sox hope that a year or two from now we’ll see Giolito as just one of their aces, but for the time being at least they have one. — Doolittle
ICYMI: Sox shut Giolito down with lat strain
Toronto Blue Jays
2019 record: 63-93
Week 24 ranking: 26
Yes, he leads the Blue Jays in batting average (.276) and OPS (.789), but he is just seventh on the team with 15 home runs and his WAR logs in at 0.0. Still, the numbers matter not — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is the slam dunk MVP of the Jays for invigorating baseball in Toronto (and beyond) and providing great hope for years of excitement and electricity to come. — Richards
ICYMI: Biggios now second father-son duo to hit for cycles
Seattle Mariners
2019 record: 66-90
Week 24 ranking: 25
No team has ever employed more players in one season than the 67 that have shuffled through Seattle in 2019. What, you don’t remember Zac Rosscup, Parker Markel, David Freitas or Nick Rumbelow? Backup catcher Tom Murphy leads position players in WAR, which says everything you want to know about this team. But I’ll give team MVP honors to Marco Gonzales, who has won 16 games with a 4.09 ERA, even more impressive considering Seattle’s defense has been among the worst in the majors. — Schoenfield
Colorado Rockies
2019 record: 67-89
Week 24 ranking: 23
The Rockies continue to audition youngsters for potential 2020 roles this September, and one of their bright spots this month has been utility man Garrett Hampson. The 24-year-old rookie has made starts at second base, shortstop and center field; and he has batted .357/.410/.589 with three home runs and has seven stolen bases this month. — Cockcroft
Pittsburgh Pirates
2019 record: 65-91
Week 24 ranking: 22
With all due respect to Josh Bell, Adam Frazier and Bryan Reynolds, Starling Marte’s performance seems to drive the Pirates’ performance unlike any other player. He has been sidelined for the past 13 days with a wrist issue, during which time the Pirates are 2-9. In fact, accounting for any of Marte’s absences this season, the Pirates are just 4-20 when he has been unavailable to play. — Cockcroft
Kansas City Royals
2019 record: 57-100
Week 24 ranking: 27
You’d like to see a team MVP be a little more well-rounded than Jorge Soler, but in absence of an obvious pick, his record-setting home run spree is enough to get the nod. Soler already has obliterated Mike Moustakas’ single-season franchise mark for homers, and with Mike Trout out for the remainder of the season, Soler’s next dinger will make him the Royals’ first home run champion. He still defends like the designated hitter he ought to be, but Soler’s power display has given Royals fans something to follow during a rebuilding season. — Doolittle
Miami Marlins
2019 record: 54-101
Week 24 ranking: 28
A fractured finger ended his season a month ago, but it reflects just how shallow a talent pool the Fish swim in that Brian Anderson still is the easy choice for most valuable Marlin. A defensive asset at third base and out in right field, like most non-Marlins he also had a breakout season at the plate, setting career highs in extra-base hits despite playing in 30 fewer games than in 2018. — Kahrl
Baltimore Orioles
2019 record: 51-105
Week 24 ranking: 29
For a team on pace for just 53 wins, the Orioles have a few reasonable choices for an MVP. Trey Mancini has an .889 OPS, 36 doubles, 34 home runs, 101 runs and 93 RBIs. Jonathan Villar has 3.9 WAR and 38 stolen bases. And Hanser Alberto has 3.1 WAR and a .310 batting average. But our co-MVPs are Chris Davis and Henry Frasca. Huh? Davis, with a .176/.268/.315 slash line and just 11 home runs to offset 134 whiffs? And who is Henry Frasca? He is a 9-year-old fan from Massachusetts who wrote a letter of encouragement to Davis during his record 0-for-54 stretch in April. Davis was so moved, he kept the letter with him throughout the season and spent the afternoon with Henry on a return trip to Fenway Park in August. After watching this video, we suspect you’ll endorse our pick. — Richards
Detroit Tigers
2019 record: 46-109
Week 24 ranking: 30
A rough second half took a lot of the shine off Matthew Boyd’s big campaign, but his first-half 3.87 ERA turned heads and his full-season 11.6 K/9, good for sixth in the majors, should keep them turned. And sure, while pitcher wins don’t mean much, you try flirting with a .500 season (he is 9-11) while pitching for a team due to lose more than 110 games and featuring MLB’s worst offense. — Kahrl

My Favorite Album #223 - Sarah Lewitinn (Ultragrrrl) on Interpol 'Our Love to Admire' and why they should have been 'the' band of the 2000s
Sarah Lewitinn's career has taken from writer to manager to DJ, self-described 'queen of beneficient debauchery' and the once and future 'Ultragrrl'.
In a personal and emotionally honest conversation, Sarah makes the case for Interpol's 'Our Love to Admire' as the band's best album and the deep, slow-burning relationship she has had with it. We talk about the efforts she's made to keep her personal distance from the members of Interpol, the legend and reality of Carlos D, and how the album feels like the closing chapter on an era of her New York life.
If you haven't yet, I recommend reading Lizzy Goodman's amazing oral history of the 2000s NYC rock scene 'Meet Me in the Bathroom', in which Sarah features, and listening to my recent podcast with Lizzy.

Auburn somehow finds itself in the midst of the biggest game of opening weekend.
I hate how far in advance you have to schedule college football games, and yet this is one of the instances in which I can actually remember when a game was scheduled as we approach kickoff. It was only four years ago that Auburn and Oregon announced the meeting in Arlington for the Kickoff Classic event, instead of the 10-15 year notice that we now get for other non-conference matchups.
When that game was scheduled, we were obviously ecstatic. Auburn was poised for a huge year (uh..) and Oregon was coming off of another national runner-up season and their first Heisman Trophy winner.
Things change, and Oregon’s not the same team as they were when we met in Glendale for the national title in January of 2011. Auburn’s different, but largely the same. We just don’t have Cam Newton, which sucks. The Ducks, however, have no longer ascribed to the speed game they did for over a decade, and they’re more of a pro-style team across the board. It feels weird, but we have plenty of information about Oregon courtesy of Adam Chimeo of Addicted to Quack.
Learn about the opening opponent below!
While we’re breaking in a new quarterback, the Ducks have one of the top potential picks in the 2020 NFL Draft in Justin Herbert. Which QB of the past does he compare to? What’s his biggest strength? What’s his biggest weakness?
That’s a good question. I actually would compare him to Oregon Legend Joey Harrington, though there are a couple huge differences between the QBs: Herbert is bigger and more athletic than Harrington, he also has a stronger and more accurate arm, but what he hasn’t yet developed is Joey “Captain Comeback” Harrington’s killer instinct.
Herbert has all the tools needed to become one of the season’s best quarterbacks, it’ll all come down to whether he can turn in clutch performances on the road (Oregon has won just 3 of their last 10 true road games) meaning he’ll need to develop a new go-to receiver as soon as possible.
One of the matchups that everyone started talking about as soon as last year ended was the Auburn defensive line against the Oregon offensive line. We may have the best front four in the land on our side, where does the Duck offensive front stand among the rest of the country?
The Ducks’ offensive line returns 153 starts, making them the most experienced O-line in the country. Not only do they return standout veterans like Shane Lemieux, Calvin Throckmorton and Jake Hanson (seniors entering their fourth year in starting roles), they also return sensational sophomore Penei Sewell. Even with all the talent and experience on this unit, Sewell proved to be the MVP after the Duck offense slumped during his midseason departure due to injury.
What should concern Duck fans is this squad’s lackluster production in the rushing department (54th nationally). If Cristobal wants to become a power-rushing offense then this team will need to produce more on the ground. I imagine the match-up between the lines will live up to the hype, the Duck faithful can only hope that the passing game is there to complete the one-two punch.
When we last met, it was hurry-up, no-huddle, speed, speed, speed on both sides. The narrative has shifted a good bit with Mario Cristobal running the show. What’s his basic philosophy on both sides of the ball? Do you think his time at Alabama will pay dividends going against Auburn?
On the offensive side of the ball Cristobal has elected to transform the Ducks into a downhill, power-running offense; a task that would seem dubious if not for his rapid success in recruiting. Even in the wreckage of Willie Taggart’s departure, Cristobal managed to land the 13th ranked class in 2018 and followed that up with the 7th ranked class in 2019, the highest in program history.
Outside of recruiting, which is really what is generating the excess hype for this Duck squad, Cristobal immediately re-established discipline both mentally and physically on the team after years of bad culture that was allowed to grow during the Mark Helfrich years.
Defense, on the other hand, is a much more complicated puzzle to solve, though the pieces individually look rather impressive. Two years after Oregon made a big splash with the hiring of Jim Leavitt as defensive coordinator, Cristobal established that this is his team by letting him go. Former Boise State DC Andy Avalos showed the Ducks just how lethally chaotic his defense can be by embarrassing them in the Vegas Bowl, Cristobal’s first game as our head coach. Expect some intriguing looks from what will most definitely be a multiple defense.
Despite a bit of a disappointing season in 2018, Auburn fans got to head into the offseason with some optimism based on the bowl blowout of Purdue. Oregon scraped by Michigan State and the offense didn’t do much. What were the initial thoughts on 2019 as we turned the page from last year?
I think I can speak for most Duck fans when I say that the Redbox Bowl, while incredibly painful to watch at the time, felt like a huge step in the right direction. A non-Rose-Bowl bowl win is nice and all, but the ultimate payoff is the extra practice time. Sure, we looked like hot garbage out there on offense for about 97% of the game, but in the end we broke our bowl losing streak and beat a team that had at least one elite side of the ball.
Also, we beat Washington and Oregon State. So good season.
5. Word from fall camp is that wide receiver is going to be a thin position due to some unfortunate injuries. How much will that affect what Oregon wants to do on offense in Arlington?
Pull up a chair and let me tell you about our injuries at receiver: Senior projected starter Brenden Schooler is out 6-8 weeks with a foot injury, standout freshman Mycah Pittman is out 6-8 weeks with a shoulder injury, and JR Waters is out due to foot surgery- all taking place in fall camp. This leaves us with a projected lineup of SR Juwan Johnson, JR Jaylon Redd and JR Johnny Johnson III; not an elite unit, but at least a good combination of experience and skill, though one more injury could be disastrous for this group.
Going into the offseason, the main goal was to find a replacement for Dillon Mitchell, by far Herbert’s favorite target and the program record holder for yards in a single-season (1,184).Progress seemed to be made with the emergence of Penn State grad transfer Juwan Johnson but it’s worth noting that one of his main flaws was drops, which is not what you want to hear coming from a unit that suffered through 52 of them last season.
Long story short, I don’t think the issues at receiver will necessarily change the strategy, however I do think it will diminish our ability to take advantage of the stacked box. Cristobal is likely to stick with what he knows is a strength, which could prove fatal if we aren’t able to establish the deep ball as a threat.
Which offensive skill players will play and have a big impact on August 31st?
Justin Herbert will be desperately searching for someone to catch the damn ball. Tight ends Jacob Breeland and Cam McCormick have been excellent in the pass game when healthy and Jaylon Redd was one of the few pass-catching bright spots outside of Dillon Mitchell last season. Duck fans will be praying that Juwan Johnson can provide a reliable outlet for Herbert.
CJ Verdell and Travis Dye will once again be the two-headed monster, the former providing the angry downhill style and the latter the straight speed. If these two can find consistent success on the ground, I think the Ducks possibly run away with this thing, though Auburn’s horrifying D-line makes that much easier said than done.
With Herbert and the offensive line taking much of the publicity, we haven’t heard as much about the Duck defense. What are they capable of doing and which names should we pay attention to?
I believe that this defense has the potential to cause a lot of chaos in a lot of backfields, thanks in large part to Andy Avalos and his brand spanking new system which is built on confusion and constant pressure. If things click quickly for this experienced front seven, Bo Nix could have a really rough debut.
Troy Dye is the cornerstone of this unit. He’s led the team in tackles for the last three seasons and is currently 121 tackles away from becoming Oregon’s all time leader in the category. Jordon Scott (AKA Fat Mac) has been an incredible nose tackle ever since his freshman year: Avalos will need to find a modified role for him now that the team will rely less on the 3-4, but Scott has the rare combination of size and speed to adjust.
The starters in the secondary will hopefully take a collective step forward with the leadership of junior cornerbacks Thomas Graham Jr. and Deommodore Lenoir. Jevon Holland is coming off of a stellar freshman campaign and will look to add to his five interceptions now that he’s locked down the starting safety position.
Then of course there’s Kayvon Thibodeaux, the nation’s no. 2 overall recruit of 2019, who will definitely see the field, most likely in the STUD position. If you really want to know a name that will seemingly pop out of nowhere, senior Bryson Young has been talked about a lot at STUD. A strong offseason and a change in scheme has put Young into the perfect position to really make a name for himself at the end of his Oregon career.
What’s Oregon’s ceiling this year? Are they a potential Playoff team? New Year’s Six? Conference champion? What are Oregon fans feeling in terms of a final record?
Games like the 2016 Alamo Bowl versus TCU and the Stanford meltdown of last season have turned this Duck fan into a very pessimistic person. Despite that blackhole in my heart, I am still pretty high on this Oregon team. Are they a playoff team? Most definitely not. A New Year’s Six contender? I suppose if absolutely everything goes perfectly, why not. That would require either a PAC-12 championship or a close loss to playoff bound Utah/USC.
The general consensus seems to be that 9-3 would be perfectly respectable, while 8-4 would be a bit of a letdown. The homer in me has them going 9-3.
What’s keeping the coaching staff awake at night right now?
A recurring nightmare where endless, consecutive receivers drop a perfectly timed pass from Herbert and then fall to the ground clutching their knees. Occasionally Derrick Brown makes an appearance in the especially nasty nightmares.
Prediction for this game?
Unfortunately, I don’t think hometown hero Herbert will be able to avenge our loss in the 2011 National Championship game (side note: Dyer was down!). I think both teams will be able to walk away from this game with their heads held high, but ultimately I don’t think Oregon will be able to exorcise their road demons this early in the season.

The 25 best movies on Netflix you can stream right now
Finding the *perfect* movie to watch for your evening's entertainment used to be an entirely different proposition. It mostly involved getting your parents to drive you to Blockbuster to peruse the new releases, and after 45 minutes of indecision you'd leave with a film that sounds epic - Eight Legged Freaks! - but turns out to not be quite the experience you were hoping for.
Times have changed. Now thanks to Netflix there's thousands of movies at our fingertips, changing every month, just waiting to be watched. With so much available, it's like staring at the video store shelves all over again! Just what should we be hitting play on? Lucky for you, some very kind person (me) has trawled through the Netflix catalogue, unearthing the must-see movies that should be on your watch list. There's a cracking selection of all genres. And if you'd rather catch up on some of the best TV around, here's the 25 best TV shows on Netflix right now.
1. Stranger Than Fiction (2006)
The movie: Imagine living in a world where your existence is the result of someone else's creative whimsy. Yes, I said whimsy. Stranger Than Fiction is that very world, where Will Ferrell's nice guy Harold Crick one day hears Emma Thompson's voice narrating his every move. That's when he discovers that he's actually a character in a novel.
Why it's worth watching: One of a handful of movies where Ferrell plays a genuinely pleasant character and not an OTT comedy caricature. It's his performance that makes this such a sweet, funny dramedy. Oh, and the flours line. What a charmer.
2. Hot Fuzz (2007)
The film: The juicy filling in the middle of Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy brings back his trusted comrades Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as two cops in a quiet English 'burg. One is straight-laced, the other, more of a free spirit. Things inevitably go awry as they often do in quiet, idyllic movie villages.
Why it's worth watching: Imagine your favourite buddy cop movie. And now imagine it retold through the cheeky, meta-tinted eyes of Pegg, Wright and Frost. This is how you homage.
3. Looper (2012)
The film: Ponder, if you will, what life might be like if you found out that in thirty years' time you become Bruce Willis. That is but one of the intriguing questions plaguing Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character Joe. He's a "looper", a hitman working for the mob who utilize a fancy way of ensuring bodies don't pop up - time travel. They send people back, Joe takes 'em out. Well, until his future self appears before him.
Why it's worth watching: First off, you need to see this as part of your Star Wars: The Last Jedi homework. This superb time travel thriller is directed by Rian Johnson, who takes a great concept ("looping") then weaves in a vengeance plot AND a killer twist. Added bonus: you get to see JGL in prosthetics.
4. Cabin in the Woods (2012)
The film: You thought Scream was a fun spin on scary movie tropes? As this film's tagline says "You think you know the story." Things appear to be like your typical slasher at first. Five college kids head out to a remote cabin in the woods, and begin to behave as you'd expect, until they head into the basement and start meddling with the dusty trinkets down there...
Why it's worth watching: Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon hashed out the script for this twisty, turny, WTF? gem in just THREE days. Sure, that's impressive, but what's most jaw-dropping is *that moment* when the horror community gets rewarded with an onslaught of absolute chaos. One of the best horrors of the last decade.
5. The Big Short (2015) Advertisement
The film: A star-studded cast tells this behind-the-scenes story of the financial meltdown. It's both funny and heartbreakingly sad at times, as the likes of Steve Carell, Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling and (albeit in a large cameo) Brad Pitt reveal the truth about the people involved in the 2007-2008 crisis.
Why it's worth watching: The guy who directed Anchorman directed this. Yep, this is Adam McKay's work; an assured drama with flashes of wry humor you might not expect from the man who gave us Ron Burgundy.
6. Iron Man 3 (2013)
The movie: Tony Stark's third solo outing ramps things up from the middling IronMan 2. Director Shane Black pushes the boat with a double whammy of villains, the destruction of Stark's Malibu pad and Guy Pearce as uber-baddie Aldrich Killian. dropping the billionaire Avenger into small-town America where he has to wangle his way out of a scenario without the help of his high-tech gadgetry is a genius move.
Why it's worth watching: Besting its predecessor in every way, Stark becomes somewhat human again. He's brought down to Earth emotionally by the weight of what happened during the Battle of New York, and literally by a damaged suit.
19. Beasts of No Nation (2015)The film: One of Netflix's first steps into simultaneous streaming and theatrical releases, hails from True Detective creator Cary Fukunaga. Time is not a flat circle here, however. This is a harrowing tale of a young African boy enlisted into the dangerous ranks of a fearful militia crime lord played by Idris Elba.
Why it's worth watching: At times a brutal watch, it's nevertheless a solid piece of gritty filmmaking from a director with masses of empathy for the tragedy depicted onscreen.
7. Clueless (1995)
The film: The teen flick against which every new teen flick will forever be measured. Alicia Silverstone stars as Beverly Hills brat Cher, who discovers she's clueless in matters of the heart despite her like, totally awesome fashion sense. Director Amy Heckerling's film is still stupidly witty and hasn't aged a day, even though its over twenty years old.
Why it's worth watching: What's brilliant still about this amusing Jane Austen update is how its teenagers are both remarkably foolish and smart at the same time: the whole point of the movie, yes. The scene on the freeway in particular is evidence of Dionne's utter cluelessness.
8. Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)
The film: If you, like us, are excited for Thor: Ragnarok then you might want to scope out director Taika Waititi's comedy from last year. Shot on location in New Zealand, the film tells of a young boy (Julian Dennison) adopted by a couple out in the valley who befriends his foster dad (Sam Neill) when the pair end up on an adventure in the wilderness.
Why it's worth watching: Part-comedy, part-drama, Wilderpeople's got that unmistakable NZ humour throughout that prevents the flick from growing stale. Twin that with the gorgeous cinematography of the sweeping island valleys and forests, and you're in for a treat.
9. Zootopia (2016)
The film: This is an absolute delight. I mean, who's not going to get drawn in by a movie about anthropomorphic animals that live in a bustling metropolis? Now that's got your attention, the main plot tells of a young bunny from the sticks who relocates the big bad city to live the life of her dreams: that of a cop.
Why it's worth watching: Disney's fun, colorful tale appeals to both youngsters and parents alike with a very funny, rather unusual plot that doesn't try too hard to mask its true message.
15. Byzantium (2013)
The film: Somehow this cracking vampire drama slipped under the radar when it hit cinemas back in 2013. Neil Jordan, yes, he of Interview with the Vampire fame, directs this unusual riff on blood-sucker lore. Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan star as a mother and daughter duo working their way through history until the wind up in an English coastal town.
Why it's worth watching: The spins on vampiric mythology are refreshing. As is watching Arterton tear apart her victims and bathe in their crimson geysers!

My Favorite Album #216 - Courtney Marie Andrews on Bob Dylan ‘Blood on the Tracks’ (1975)
Acclaimed Americana singer-songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews joins me to talk about one of high watermarks of Bob Dylan's career - his 1975 breakup album 'Blood on the Tracks'.
We talk about why this album is Dylan at his most emotionally transparent, how the album captures all the different colours of a relationship - and its disillusion, how Dylan has maintained his mystique for over 50 years, how turn a song written from trauma into something you can sign night after night, and why Courtney wishes she was compared more often to men.

My Favorite Album #207 - Eilish Gilligan on Counting Crows ‘August and Everything After’ (1993), introversion and mental illness in musicians, proper nouns in songs and more
Despite being a baby when it was released, Melbourne singer/songwriter Eilish Gilligan has long been fascinated by the Counting Crows classic 'August and Everything After', an album that captured the existential malaise of a generation when it was released in 1993.
We talk about how Eilish's relationship with songs like 'Round Here' have changed over the years as she's gone from child to teen to young woman, how Adam Duritz's mental health issues manifest in his lyrics, why Gang of Youths are the Counting Crows of today, extroverted introverts in the music world, how seeing Counting Crows live taught Eilish to be a better performer and why she'd rather listen to this record than many of the classics that influenced it.

My Favorite Album #206 - 10 years of Rilo Kiley ‘Under the Blacklight’ with Katie Brianna
Australian Americana singer/songwriter Katie Brianna on the album that helped her transform herself and stake out her independence as a young woman - Rilo Kiley's 2007 swang song 'Under the Blacklight'.
We make the case for the album as Rilo Kiley's best record - and how it represents a breadth and musical ambition beyond their previous catalogue. We the songs fall in the evolution of frontwoman Jenny Lewis, from RK's indie rock origins to her subsequent solo success. Katie talks about why 'Under the Blacklight' is the album she wishes she was 'cool enough' to make, and we really overwork the 'your band is your baby' metaphor.

My Favorite Album #209 -#BeatlesMonth - TV legend Ken Levine on 50 years of 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'
All of June we are celebrating the Fab Four with #BeatlesMonth, indulging my favorite past time - talking about the Beatles - with guests old and new, and revisiting some favorite episodes from the past three and a half years of podcasts.
Today we are celebrating 50 years of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band with TV legend Ken Levine - writer, producer and director on iconic shows from M*A*S*H to Cheers to Frasier, co-creator of Almost Perfect and Big Wave Dave's, I could go on... He's also a baseball announcer, author, my favorite blogger and host of his own podcast Hollywood and Levine.
Ken's masterful storytelling is at the fore in this episode as he lays out how he discovered the Beatles as a teenager in 1964, his doomed scheme to meet the band in California, his encounters with John Lennon and Ringo Starr, why he chose not to see the Beatles live, and what it was like to work in a record store when Sgt Pepper was unleashed on the world. We talk about how his feelings about the record have and haven't changed through the years, and why it's the one album he will never get sick of listening to.
