  1. 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.
  2. TCU up 17-0 on the Fightin' Gundys. OSU is so bad this year.
  3. That's a fumble, tech.
  4. Oh Matt.....
  5. There's Beck!!!
  6. Juuuust a bit outside, Beck.
  7. Delay of game on the defense. Just fuck your own face, Ole miss.
  8. Face mask after the fumble recovery just fucks Ole piss.
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. I ignored your earlier flippant remark. Now you may kindly go fuck your own face.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Bijan does the work, Algeir gets the score.
  18. Cousins had all day to go through his options.
  19. The fake punt that was an eyelash away from a pick six. Wow.
  20. Dallas going deep into their bag of how to screw up momentum w/ the delay of game.
  21. Lulz. What a suck ass play and execution.
  22. Cousins and Bijan just knifed right through that "defense."
  23. Yeah, my boss who is an awesome, badass bitch (in the best possible way), wears some wild, hippie-esque clothing in the office and generally celebrates the Keep Austin Weird-vibe broke my heart on Friday. We were both WFH and on the Teams call I noticed in the corner of her desk she had a shiny new Trump 2024 Yeti. Her husband's high up in construction so I guess I shouldn't be that surprised, but they also have a daughter who's a HS senior and for the life of me I just can understand that disconnect.
  24. Pokes got worked by ASU at home Saturday. They need to win out to make a bowl. Ollie Gordon's stock has pretty much tanked this season. It's a shame Bedlam is no more because watching a cripple fight between ou and oSu in late November would be like watching a 4 hour train wreck.
