  1. So what did all of the Iowa state players eat that gave them all the shits? Skyline Chili?
  2. Texas GQP politics. Dirtier than a port-a-pot at Woodstock.
  3. Is there a person on earth who believes Miss GED wrote one line of that public apology? Jesus, damage control comms team. At least throw in a few misspelled words or improper tense changes. Dumb it down for her target audience.
  4. Great movie. Scorsese makes the filmgoer feel as trapped in the movie as Griffin. It's pretty amazing in hindsight that his two films immediately after Raging Bull--The King of Comedy and After Hours--were flops and so misunderstood that people were wondering if he'd lost his touch. The King of Comedy was 20+ years ahead of its time as a look into celebrity worship & how far an untalented, ordinary person would go in search of fame in order to be "somebody."
  5. Down 3-0 after one with 2 fumbles is pretty damn lucky. Need a nice clock chewing drive & some points so the D can get a blow.
  6. Goddammit, Vikings. Stop stepping on your own dick.
  7. The only way for her to get media coverage is to act like an ass. Doesn't matter if it's Capitol Hill or in Colorado. And of course she vapes.
  8. This is aggy we're talking about. If they somehow beat Bama their narrative will be that this was the best team Saban's ever coached, the Jimbo+Petrino experiment is working, Weigman for Heisman, etc. Then they'll claim our win over the same squad was a fluke, the entire Bama team had Covid, the dirty t-sips cheated, blah, blah, blah.
  9. My friend caught this in the wild today at Logan Int'l. Her hat said 'Ultra MAGA' because the flag as cape was apparently a bit too discrete.
  10. From James McMurtry while on his latest tour. Amen, brother. From James McMurtry while on his latest tour. Amen, brother. From James McMurtry while on his latest tour. Amen, brother.
  11. Jordan Addison with his first TD on a 39 yard bomb with nobody close to him.
  12. Everyone familiar with Fox Local and ability to stream your favorite NFC team games for free? I'm watching the Vikings from Fox 9 in Minneapolis right now. Pretty slick. And a huge cost savings.
  13. That they were all crowing about and so fucking proud of when they offered it and Bilbo signed because it showed the college football universe just how serious and committed they were to winning by...lighting a pile of money on fire.
  14. Trust me, I was thisclose to taking that guy out back and asking him what his fucking problem was, but I didn't want to risk doing anything stupid that would have resulted in me getting an earful from my wife on the 3 hour drive back. And to the BIL's credit again, he texted me this morning to thank us for coming, congratulating us on the win and apologizing for his friend acting like, well...a typical aggy asshole.
  15. Not just that, but on the sidelines. Both Venables and the AD had to make official comments making it clear they weren't aware/didn't support the rape enabler being there and that it would be "dealt with."
  16. We were in Houston yesterday for a memorial service. Aggy BIL was in charge of the event and had way too much on his plate for us to even consider our normal good natured ribbing. We were there to support & help the family in any way we could. The service went better than he could have hoped for: short, sweet and drama free. Afterwards the family gathered to unwind w/ some food, beverages and football on TV. I told the BIL that he could give me as much shit as he wanted about Texas and I wouldn't anything more than smile and nod in agreement. To his credit, he barely said a word. Probably because he was operating on minimal sleep and oh yeah, Miami was donkey punching aggy at the time. The same couldn't be said about an aggy friend of his who was an insufferable prick and was trying to get under my skin the whole time. We left just before the Texas game started (listened to the first 3 quarters on SXM, was able to catch most of the 4th in glorious 4K at home). The aggy prick went off with "oh, run back to Austin with all the other liberal f---, Alabama's going to push your shit in," yada yada yada. The BIL told him to stand down. I wonder how that dude's feeling this morning?
