Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread

I'm sure there are worse, but the one that stands out was a Phish concert around 1995 or 1996. Went with some college friends, most weren't into Phish but came for the experience.

192.6 - so 3.8 pounds since Jan. 8 - so a little over a pound a week on average - makes sense that the slowdown is arriving but steady loss still which is good. Next goal still is to get into the 180s. Hopefully just a few weeks away.

Guys, I highly doubt the Ravens gameplan was to not run the ball. Finite amount of plays in a football game and that number tends to get smaller when you don't have the ball. SIX carries by running backs. Did they only have 15 total offensive plays? Probably not, but beyond just getting first downs...
