  1. Gundy's gonna feed Gordon on this series, no doubt.
  2. He definitely looked like he was surveying and looking for blocks instead of stepping on the gas on that play. No complaints on the results.
  3. Let your nuts hang, bitches!
  4. Easy touchdown!!!!
  5. Inside the twenty already. No red zone failures today, boys.
  6. Gonna get the ball in great field position after kick interference. Let's fucking go!
  7. Gundy blowing a gasket over not getting the PI. 3 and out, and we got a call.
  8. 3rd and 10 is just where we want 'em.
  9. Goddamn, @immamac, have some dignity. You're gonna have to shave your beard after that vocal hemorrhage.
  10. That was...something.
  11. He'd sound better than this dude, no doubt.
  12. Those bastards will do everything they can to retain the more expensive cable customers, but he may get a discount that lasts for a couple months or so. I was surprised at how easy my experience was in October. Like AB, I had a legacy bundled account (cable/gig internet/land line) for at least 15 years. WIth the Gold cable package plus HBO/SHO/Starz and 3 DVRs we were pushing $370/mo. Oh yeah, we also switched our cell phones to Spectrum about 3 years ago which was another $100/mo ($50/line). Not only did they cut the cable w/o any fight and dropped our monthly bill (gig internet & land line because it's almost impossible to get rid of the fucking thing) to just over a hundred a month, he lowered our cell phone plan from the $50/line/month plan we were on to the new customer price of $35/line/month. I did a double take and asked if this was an introductory rate that would go up & he said no, they wanted valued customers to have the same experience as new customers. When I joked that I'd be stupid to say "no" to saving thirty bucks a month he replied that I'd be surprised at how many people turn down that savings out of principle. Spectrum just might be getting the big picture finally & realizing what they're going to have to do to retain customers let alone get new ones in this market.
  13. Good lord this is just bad TV. Zero crowd noise/energy. Just monotonous platitudes with crowd shots of half asleep fans.
  14. Technically 14, but sadly it's close enough. Let's open all their holes.
  15. One more bit of anecdotal support for YTTV: my wife has not complained once about the UI since we switched from Spectrum cable. She had at least a year's worth of Roku, Apple TV & Spectrum TV app experience so it wasn't cold turkey, but it's very easy to use. Plus being able to organize your lineup & skip all the shit you don't watch is huge. Best feature is definitely multiview for sports.
  16. Any antenna will pick up both formats, however to get the VHF signal 99% of the time you will need it to be attached to at least a window. UHF is more forgiving and you can usually put it anywhere inside your house & get a decent signal. Fox7 doesn't deal well with interior obstructions.
  17. That's your problem. Click on the gear in the lower right corner of the app to adjust the resolution. On a PC it will sometimes default to really low rez. You can adjust accordingly. You won't have to do this on your TVs as it will output to the highest quality available automatically.
  18. That's no lube by Spectrum. I was in a similar bundle until October. If you don't want too much change you can contact Spectrum & tell them you want to switch to their streaming bundle. You'll save considerably & can probably even have them come hook up everything & take away your old DVRs (that will save you at least $40/mo there).
  19. The OTA will just be an RF type coax connector. Every TV and display will have one.
  20. It gets better. And I highly recommend ponying up the extra ten bucks a month for the 4K package (you'll get unlimited device connectivity as well).
  21. There's no justification for not having at least one TV in your domicile connected to an OTA antenna. Zero. They're cheap, simple to install, and oh yeah, the best uncompressed image quality. If nothing else just have one in case of severe weather & unexpected cable/network outages.
  22. From Cedar Park, waiting for the [emoji477]️ to be ready TEXAS!!!
  23. One of the most embarrassing things I ever witnessed was about a decade ago when a former astronaut who flew on 2 shuttle missions gave a presentation at my company promoting STEM. She obtained one of her degrees from Texas, and as she gave her presentation she showed a photo she'd taken of the sun rising over the earth & how the beautiful, burnt orange sun reminded her of home (or words to that effect). Two or 3 aggies in the audience hissed at her remark. Fucking hissed, like petulant little children. One started and the others joined in. Who would act like that in a professional setting when hearing a story from an actual astronaut?
  24. "Good" Fields was on full display that drive, slipping out of 3 sacks he had no business escaping. Vikes stiffen and force the FG try that was pushed wide right. Skol, Vikes!
