  1. What? Don't you know!? aTm leads the way in NIL. Everyone else is merely catching up this season. Thats the only reason we or any other team is having any recruiting success this year.
  2. Yes. He blamed everyone, especially his parents, except himself! And then to say for the whole world to hear "Steven A Smith was more of a brother to me than my real brother"...what a monumental POS!
  3. Was on a road trip, to visit friends, that included stops at Northwestern, Ohio State and ultimately Boston. Last minute we decided to stop off in South Bend. It was a cold winter night, around midnight, and I relieved myself ON #1 Moses. I then looked for a bathroom in the touchdown haysoos building. There i took a massive dump, wiped extra and didn't flush. FU Powlus!
  4. Bathe and wear shoes hippy.
  5. Rick Bayless is a saint and can do no wrong...Skip Bayless is an even bigger dick then I ever thought! tl;dr Skip never had a relationship and still doesn't know his brother. Also, he is a self-proclaimed jock and hates cooking.
  6. I don't know why this clip came to mind, after reading the last two pages, but it did.
  7. Every class has "bread", even Bama. Bread is every player that is not an impact player day one. That is 75% of recruits in every class. Also, TCU, Okie St. and others have been kicking our ass with bread for the last decade. Development is our need and on that matter time will tell. Right now, if the bread is on OL i'm ok with it, i trust Flood. If its DL, i'm ok with it, i trust Bo. If its any offensive position, I'm ok with it, I trust Sark. If they are in the secondary or a LB i'd prefer we get 5 stars.
  8. I cross there every few months, coming back from Mexico, and the burritos at the Minit Mart (Flying J) on Main/57 are on par with Allsups. All i got.
  9. Would be nice if we made his top 10 that he released...today.
  10. Hampton, Rogers and Leonard?
  11. Plaza Guadalajara in the Centro Historico is very nice both during the day and at night. I usually go there on the first day and purchase tickets from any of the vendors there in the square for a hop on hop off tour of the city or any tour for that matter. If you have never been I would recommend it/them. I think the basic hop on/off includes one pueblo magjico, in the area. Usually, Tlaquepaque which is a must. By doing that tour you get oriented and a birds eye view of much of the city including the area you are staying in, which is very nice. It also gives you an idea of where you may want to go and where you can walk. You can easily walk to Chapultepec or to the Centro from Americana. You can also hop on and off the bus as needed if you see a place you like. La Casa de Waffle is good for breakfast, nearby your stay or La Chata near the centro. Best to get to La Chata early as there is often a line to get in. Besides doing a tequila tour like you are, Chapala is pueblo majico that is also very nice. The city really is pretty easy to navigate but it is deceptively spread out. Oh yeah, Tortas Ahogadas! You can't not try a few of those. Much like you eat Cochinita Pibil in the Yucatan or Oaxaca, TA are from Jalisco. As is Vicente Fernandez and Mariachi. All the best!
  12. Yeah, it reminded me of the "National Highway" of Mindanoa. Its a FM road in TX. I don't get that type of car to avoid policia. I get those cars so that thieves pass on my car and opt for the nice car next to me. I don't care about a mordida, pay your 10 bucks and get on the road, IF they stop you. Which i heard they do for speeding, very easily. The mordida gets a bad rapp. The origin of them were due to the people not having time or money to deal with the local municipality so the cops would take money instead of going through the normal legal procedures. It later became something else entirely which i also have many stories i could tell. That said, even if one were to believe they actively look for special plates which may be true, though i doubt, there are easier ways to pull cash from tourists/marks.
  13. We flew into Cozumel and spent half a week there and half in Tulum. We were looking for peace and quiet and got it in both places, but for some of you wanting to know the pros and cons of each here you go. Cozumel feels like it is on island time, is at a slower pace, offers more for families including some amazing snorkeling/sailing/diving. Tulum is a bit more rustic, vibrant and is more for singles or couples. Tulum in general is smaller but, imo, their centro feels more on the go with all the local people walking, biking and scooting everywhere. Also, its off the major highway that goes to PDC or Cancun. No highways in Cozumel. The irony is the cruise ships stop off in Cozumel so there are more tourists walking around the centro, but if you don't spend time there you won't see much of them on the rest of the island. Most places you will want to stay at either place are away from the centro but Hacienda Coco in Tulum was quite nice. If your hotel doesn't have beach front, they are probably associated with a beach club. Intercontinental, Cozumel, had a great beach front and fortunately had no seaweed issue. Cozumel also offers Playa Mia a free beach which is in between the two major beach clubs there. We visited the Fiesta Americana/Explorean and Iberostar properties, Cozumel, during the day. We did not notice seaweed issue at Americana but it is a snorkeling spot not a beach front like Iberostar. The Mrs. hates crowds so requested the Intercontinental again and nixed the Iberostar, but its nots all-inclusive. We snorkeled Columbia, Palancar and El Cielo. It was a bucket list item for me. Damn, what an experience. We used Pink Tours and it was adults only, but Fury seemed the way to go if youre a family. Bring biodegradable sunscreen or they may ask you not to get in the water as we witnessed as someone tried to spray some on last minute. We stayed at Mi Amor in Tulum. View was spectacular. Its on the Eco side of the drive and is guarded after 8pm. The ruins/eco park was excellent. I'm a reader so didn't use a guide as many people suggested. Mis Tios street tacos were of note. Ziggy's and La Zebra served good drinks and made for good date nights. Tulum has many more hotels with beach front and if your hotel doesn't have one they are associated with other beach clubs but that can be used after a consumption fee, usually minimum of $50+ per. Tulum has tons of Cenotes if you don't want the beach. It is apparent Tulum beaches are battling the seaweed. I have always rented cars and being Mexico is no exception for me. I'm comfortable driving there but with that said I do not get a car the rest of the tourists are getting. I don't get a jeep or mustang. I get the cheap white car that looks like every other car the locals drive as to not draw attention to myself. Driving Cozumel was easy. All around the centro, went to the grocery store Chedraui to get wine and then a Farmacia. If you get the liability/damage waivers, there should be minimum hesitation in doing so. Heading to Tulum includes driving a highway but if you're from any city in the U.S. it's no problem. Now, the pro tip for transporting a car from PDC to the island is to buy your vehicle ferry reservation on Transcaribe in advance. It assures you get a spot and you go to the front of the line. Ultramar on the way to PDC we had to buy in person, a few blocks from the port, site was down. The arrival port on the PDC side for both is Punta Venado. Most of the schedules online for the ferries are for people only and not for those transporting a car. There are only 2 or 3 crossing each way in car. Block out 2.5 hours to cross each way.
