  1. They don't sell it here. It's an exotic treat.
  2. Slim was the man. Don't Tell a Soul and All Shook Down always got a bad rap, but there are so many great songs on those records, and Slim was a major part of it. I can't imagine we even get those last few Replacements records without him being (kind of) a senior influence. I played my final high school football game in his hometown of Plainview. CSB.
  3. This. I'm solo parenting tonight. Will my daughter be watching this ridiculous game? Yes. Yes she will. When someone tells me they hate bowl games, I immediately add them to my "don't want to have a beer with that guy" list.
  4. KSU now at 6-4 after a loss to my other Alma mater, the Drake Bulldogs. Eat shit, Pootie.
  5. ACC hoops are not in a great place right now, that's for sure. If you're just using teams in the Top 25 to judge a league, they're behind the SEC, Big 12, Big East, and Big 10.
  6. This non-conference season has been ESPN's wet dream. The SEC taking those Big 12 scalps has the executives in Bristol fully erect.
  7. https://www.cjonline.com/story/sports/college/cat-zone/2024/12/16/kansas-state-basketball-coach-jerome-tang-opens-up-about-relationship-with-point-guard-dug-mcdaniel/76991231007/ This seems healthy
  8. I think there's still a lot of good TV, but I just don't find the time for it anymore. I'm in bed a half hour after my kid most nights, and up early to work out. From August through April sports dominate my TV viewing, and in the summer I'd just rather be doing something outside, even if it's just watching my kid run around the yard while I have tunes on. I think Top Gun Maverick is the last movie I saw in a theatre.
  9. I always assumed that the first time Stephen Belichik met Bill's girlfriend it was a lot like this:
  10. I kinda wonder if the MAC wouldn't look at Northern Iowa as a replacement. They're a bit out of the geographic footprint, but they would salivate at the chance to jump up given their budget situation, and they have a legitimately solid basketball program with facilities that are really quite nice for a school in their position. Having MACtion 70 miles away sounds awesome.
  11. I'm surprised the MWC hasn't. IMO they make more sense for that league than NIU does.
  12. The MAC seems like it's really in a tough spot, but NIU being out of it feels wrong to me.
  13. There are lot of people in this country who think an ultra-rich guy is literally the second coming of Christ.
  14. I did NOT see ASU getting a bye
  15. Jesus, that sucked. Except for the tailgate. ASU is going to wreck Notre Dame. Great team you got there @Upgrayedd
  16. Bent Paddle light lager. Not bad.
  17. Minneapolis airport
  18. The Bloody sucks, but whatever. Go Clones!
  19. I think this is spot on. The ACC and Big 12 will likely get 2 bids, and have a scaled back version of what the SEC and Big 10 do in terms of playing into those bids as well. Mini-playoffs inside of conferences. It's probably going to make for a pretty compelling product.
  20. Deion has gone on record saying they will. Since he’s basically their handler I’ll believe it for now.
  21. If we lose on Saturday I would MUCH rather play CU in the Alamo Bowl then have another fucking G5 road game for a bowl. It's an opponent I give a shit about, and frankly, ISU's secondary vs Sanders/Hunter has the potential to be an epic match up. It's actually far more in the spirit of what a bowl game should be (and why I believe there's still value in keeping some of them) than any other match up we'd get.
  22. This fuckin' close to Top 5 wins already this season. I really like this team. They're never going to be an elite half court offense, and at the end of the day that's probably what keeps us from a Final 4/title, but they'll win a lot of games along the way.
  23. Fox is taking a fair amount of Big 12 hoops inventory next year. I think they're planning on Saturday big Fox games too. I would expect to see the Big 12/Big East challenge be much more Fox forward next year. This year was an awkward spot.
