  1. Yeah no shit, this is perfect weather to put up the outside stuff. I stopped hanging lights off the front porch a few years ago, but now's the time to do it, test it, and then fire it up whenever the Mrs says "it's time." Nothing worse than being forced to do it when a cold/rainy spell hits and you're out in the raw trying to go up & down a ladder.
  2. Mac Jones fumbles to give Sam Darnold a chance for his 4th INT today.
  3. It's like the Football Gods are trying to make up for the helmet catch.
  4. I think BV gets another year simply because they're not going to want to pay for both the buyout and whatever it would take to lure another staff to Norman. No matter what Florida's AD said earlier this week, everyone knows that Napier is dead man walking. Lincoln Riley is on the hot seat. Would they want to get into a bidding war for Cignetti? They can only get so much mileage from their softball team's dynasty.
  5. Man, give the fans in Munich credit. They're having fun and this vomit on a plate is heading to OT.
  6. The officials on the field called THAT a catch?
  7. This is the type of game that could put back the marketing of the NFL to an international audience a full decade.
  8. I don't know why they wouldn't be. They've found their Gundy. They're far from blue bloods & they're either going to be a stepping stone for up & comers or be stuck recycling old guys or flame outs who couldn't hack it elsewhere. A decade or two of solid performance, making bowl games on the regular & occasionally playing for a conference championship ain't such a bad thing.
  9. TCU up 17-0 on the Fightin' Gundys. OSU is so bad this year.
  10. That's a fumble, tech.
  11. Oh Matt.....
  12. There's Beck!!!
  13. Juuuust a bit outside, Beck.
  14. Delay of game on the defense. Just fuck your own face, Ole miss.
  15. Face mask after the fumble recovery just fucks Ole piss.
  16. I put up our Christmas trees and inside decorations today. I needed something festive. An employee died unexpectedly this week while leaving the facility & it was a non-stop barrage of HR & Safety meetings to make sure the rest of the team had access to grief counseling & resources, plus making sure his death wasn't work-related (it wasn't). So fuck it, today was a good day to decorate while watching the Longhorns mudhole Florida. Nothing will get lit up until Thanksgiving, and I don't know if my spirit has been lifted much, but it was a nice mental distraction at least.
  17. If the Cyclones lay back to back turds I wonder how many of Campbell's 5 Star Culture guys look to portal? If they're not going to compete this year in a transitioning & depleted B12 then when?
  18. I ignored your earlier flippant remark. Now you may kindly go fuck your own face.
  19. You mean Secretary of Defense Bryson Dechambeau. He's going to project military strength around the world by hitting drivers off the deck 350 yards! We're fucked. Proper fucked.
  20. I'm glad my wife is sleeping peacefully right now. I have to be in the office extremely early this morning. An employee died yesterday evening and it will be a horrific morning breaking the news to the team, dealing w/ HR to get answers for his family, etc. I'm not going to be here to comfort my wife when she wakes up and promise her that everything will be ok . I don't know that I believe it myself.
  21. I asked my wife if we have any Thanksgiving obligations this year and she replied "no. Should I text mom and ask?" She held a straight face for a good 5 seconds before bursting out with laughter. So far we're in the clear, but I'd give it 50/50 we end up spending a night in Kerrville over that weekend. I know this thread will deliver over the next 8 weeks.
  22. Legend. His impact on popular music was extraordinary. I can still hear Ray Charles telling him to "ring the bell, Q" when the recording session for We Are the World started to go off the rails.
  23. Well, I told Mrs GOTJ about the Wednesday Call to Arms (full of drinks & skillet queso) @ Chili's. Since she waitressed at one part time for a couple years as an undergrad thirty years ago & her ex actually managed the one off I35 by Lincoln Village she said "hell to the fucking no." I may swing by the Chili's off Pecan Park by Lakeline Mall for a quick beer or two.
  24. Bijan does the work, Algeir gets the score.
  25. Cousins had all day to go through his options.
