I just think it's a real different thing than Spirit In the Sky or The Doors. None of those are songs that I would kinda group together mentally, I guess.

Jim Carroll's "People Who Died"?

I'm thinking the guy who won a natty at UK as a player has a pretty damn good idea of what being the coach at UK is like. Doesn't mean he'll succeed there, but he knows exactly what he's walking in to.

I think it’s a good strategy for all of humanity. Only thing that truly makes me feel better.

As a normie that had a rough patch a few years back, I never started drinking to deal with unpleasant emotions, but I found it was a temporarily relief from them and then it started using it as a coping mechanism. Thanks to my wife and parents saying something it never got to the point where I had a full on problem, but it definitely could have. I met with a therapist for awhile back in those days and her assessment was that I wasn't an alcoholic, but I had a maladaptive coping mechanism. I didn't drink for awhile after that, and ever since, when I'm feeling really down I go to exercise to clear my mood. I do still drink, but it's always either with friends as a social lubricant, or occasionally, one or two at the end of the day as part of a wind down. Although I rarely drink in that setting any more these days either. It feels akin to drinking to deal with pain, which is what I was doing 7-8 years ago.

I’ve always wondered who that was about and always assumed it was some non-famous friend of theirs.

We Will Never Wake You Up In the Morning?

Yeah, exactly. JTE’s never even mentioned explicitly. The line about the daughter not being old enough to remember this gruesome self inflicted death is effective because it’s so god damn jarring.

Guys who are already making generational wealth don’t see the point in making money they’ll never spend just for the privilege of dealing with psychotic fanbases.

You guys are trying to literally eat one of your own here, but the guy can coach. BYU was an absolute fucking headache under him.

More and more coaches seem to be passing up on the highest dollar when it comes with a whole bunch of bullshit.

Well, except he doesn’t have to take the Kentucky job. That would be so god damn funny.

McCasland isn't openly fighting with his administration, and didn't just drop a steamer of a season while showing his crazy ass to the world for weeks on end. He very well might be looking to go back, but I think Tang has more incentive to leave his current situation.

I'd have to think that Tang would jump quickly to go back to Waco.

I always go into traffic while on foot. Never understood people who don't. It's a little bit like how I shake my head when I see people cycling the hilly, narrow country roads in my area. I'm an AVID cyclist, but we have tons of paved trails, and the risk of getting hit on these roads is so high due to their construction and the local geography that I just can't relate to people who eschew the safety of the trail just to mix up the scenery a little bit.

I thought seasons 9-11 were pretty much on par with the rest of the series. But I watched seasons 1-6 in essentially one month long binge in 2008, and then saw the remainder of the series as it became available. Ive rewatched most of it over the years, and I think 8 is my favorite, 12 is my least favorite, and the rest are pretty even.

Counterpoint: he made Wildflowers after FMF. Up through "Highway Companion" he was regularly dropping top shelf shit. I won't even include FMF, and here's 10 songs that can rival anyone: Learning To Fly Wildflowers You Don't Know How It Feels Last Dance With Mary Jane Walls Down South Room At the Top Scare Easy Kings Highway Flirtin' With Time

Saw him in Omaha on my 25th birthday. Drive-By Truckers opened. It was an absolute dream bill and an amazing show.

Being 38 doesn't really seem like being young, but I'm like the last era of humans to get into message boards, too.

I can't remember not loving Tom Petty. When I was in pre-school ('89-'90) Full Moon Fever had just come out, my Dad was wearing it out on the tape deck in the car, and one day in class when the teachers asked us to sing nursery rhymes, I claimed I didn't know any and instead sang "Free Fallin'" which lead to my mom getting a fairly stern scolding from the teacher. Loving Tom Petty's music has been a part of my very literal entire consciousness, so it's very hard for me to to wrap my head around someone hating it, or even mildly disliking it.

The last season had some very weak episodes, but the finale was absolutely well executed. Susie trying to play Larry's crippled girlfriend cracked me up, and then of course her final tirade in the courthouse when she found out that Jeff obtained the dressing recipe fraudulently. One final "YOU FAT FUCK" made my day. Cheryl considering her dislike of Mexican food to be some personal, confidential secret and Ted berating Larry "it's not your story to tell" was such a quintessential "Larry David does something completely reasonable and gets absolutely castigated" moment. The call backs weren't so excessive in number to feel like a glorified clip show. They clearly took the lessons of Seinfeld and avoided that ending, which made the meta-ness of "No Lessons Learned" that much better. All good things come to an end, and having 21 combined seasons of Seinfeld and Curb is a lifetime of rewatchable entertainment. Thanks LD. Thanks for everything. It had to be Susie, right?

I don't think he has anything to prove, and say what you will about Baylor and Waco, but he has a lifetime contract there. He won't get that treatment in Lexington. I think we're starting to see more and coaches realize that there's a point of diminishing returns with these monster salaries and making $4M/year with job security and reasonable expectations is better than making $8M and dealing with fucking lunatics that demand you win a natty every year.

I'm this way but with "Harmony Hall"

I just don't see Drew leaving Baylor at this point. He's had to have had opportunities like Kentucky in the past and turned them down.

If he hates Iowa, he REALLY hates ISU
