  1. I’ve never heard a single anecdote of him being anything other than a good dude in his time here. No banging coeds, no abusing players, no racist ramblings, no -insert shitty thing here- whatsoever.
  2. One of the 4 jobs I’ve always feared (along with OSU, Mich, and ND). Seems like this is closer to happening than other Campbell rumors. If it’s time, it’s time. He stayed here about 8 years longer than anyone expected. The job has been improved dramatically. Hope he stays, but I wouldn’t begrudge him leaving for a job you can actually win a natty at, that’s also dramatically closer to his aging parents.
  3. This thread sure slowed down without his weekly rant about the Big 12 TV contract being a bribe.
  4. You're right on 2 points here. Low impact it is not.
  5. My kid is fucking ON one. Last night, she got out of bed, came into our room, and thwarted multiple attempts at sexy time. Finally it seemed like she was actually out. We resumed. Mid-nut, the door flies open and we kind of collapse in a heap. She goes "DADDY WHY YOU ON MOMMY?". Tried saying "I was just giving Mommy hugs", and she kept going "why you on top her?". Finally got her to sleep and nothing was mentioned this AM. Likely more traumatic for me knowing my daughter may have seen my vinegar strokes. Wake up this morning, and the house is way too cold (it's -9 outside right now). I frantically check the furnace, which is running but blowing cool-ish air. Nearly text my buddy who does HVAC in town (keep in mind it's like 4:30 AM) to get on their work list for the day, when I get a hair to go look at the thermostat. The heat function had been shut off. I turn the heat back on, and everything works as normal. The thermostat is located about 2' above the back of our living room couch. A place that my daughter has been hanging out and walking around a ton lately. TLDR; 2 year old free to a good home.
  6. I’ve been singing this to myself around the house and office the last few weeks. Particularly “she was a gold diggin’ bitch, and her mom was too”
  7. Christmas Vacation is disjointed, has terrible setting production (driving through the mountains of suburban Chicago?), and has multiple scenes that are just complete implausible (the sledding scene can fuck right off). It also has a ton of fantastic actor interactions, all-time lines, and bits that are funny any time, anywhere. TLDR - the criticism is valid, it's still great for what it is.
  8. Junior Brown could have been a quadriplegic vegetable, and that table still would have produced a litany of incredible songs.
  9. The smaller cities in this part of the world are excellent in this regard as well. Particularly La Crosse, WI and Dubuque, IA. They're both college towns/regional hubs along the Mississippi.
  10. Players Era: Hey ISU, wanna make some $ and play good teams? ISU: Yeah! Players Era: Cool, here's St John's and Creighton. ISU: Beat 'em both, what's next? Players Era: $0 in extra NIL and a noon tip off against a shitty Cuse squad for 5th place.
  11. I don't want to spatchcock due to a hot spot in my pellet grill that will inevitably dry out whatever part of the bird goes over it. So I adjusted by getting a smaller bird (10 lbs - I'm only feeding 5 adults and a toddler) and I'll be doing a 24hrish hr brine, rubbing softened butter over and under the skin as a binder/mositurizer, smothering in a cajun rub and some hot honey, and continually basting with butter as I go. Will likely smoke it in a roaster pan with some beer in the bottom, as well as herbs, chopped garlic, and onion. I can keep off the hot spot and get a little more indirect heat this way, I suspect. Kind of simulating the beer can chicken approach to adjust for my self imposed limitations.
  12. I've posted a lot in this thread, but it really is one of my favorite cities to just fuck off in for a weekend.
