My wife became convinced we needed to feed our first dog that Fresh Pet shit when he got old and his teeth started going. I guess it made sense, because it was hard for him to chew kibble and that little fucker was an absolute prince who realistically deserved filet mignon had it been in the budget. But the problem is our shitass second dog got used to it as well. Costs more to feed that surly mongrel than it does to feed our kid.

KU's still capable of making a run if McCullar is healthy for the tournament. They have shit for depth, but when they're on they can be a fucking buzzsaw. What they did to Houston in the Phog wasn't a fluke, it's just impossible to recreate on a nightly basis when you have a 6 man rotation. Unless KU makes it to the Big 12 championship game in KC, I'd almost expect them to get on a heater in the Dance.

I remember 6-7 years ago when Weinstein was a reasonable guy. All of these people started off in this space of being totally reasonable people who were pushing back against some legitimately batty things going on in left wing spheres, but have gone so completely red pilled that they're driving the crazy train in the other direction now. The grift pays good I guess.

Yormark catches a lot of shit here, but it seems pretty clear to me that he understands the best option for the Big 12 is to work on being #3 and keeping a spot in the mix. He's not pretending that the Big 12 is on the same footing as the SEC and Big 10. No one in the Big 12 is laboring under that delusion from what I can see. The Pac 12 thought they were, and that's what ultimately doomed them.

I'm pretty sure the ACC and Big 12 were fine with the 5/7 model and it was the Pac holding things up.

I've never been divorced, but I know I'd be an absolute piece of shit for a good year or so if it happened. At least when I didn't have my kid.

The first time I watched a Cincy game this year, my thought was "was this guy actually named after a Key & Peel skit?".

Come again?

The 11AM tip is definitely to your advantage. The crowd won't be full throttle at tip off most likely. We've got a motherfucker tonight @ Cincy. I expect them to give us everything they have. This is going to be an extraordinarily physical, ugly basketball game.

Episode 2 seemed like a very "standard" Curb episode to me, not sticking out in either direction. My main criticism is that it's just the same thing as always: Larry gets in trouble for fairly reasonable behavior and has some ridiculous demands placed on him. But by the same token, that's the show. The scenarios didn't seem any more ludicrous than what we normally see.

No. She’s a nurse with a family but she’s just a very, very bland person.

Except for King Of Oklahoma. My God is that a fucking SONG

His need to fight every mouth breather in his Twitter feed is evidence.

Pioneer. They’re responsible for a measurable portion of my net worth.

I slightly overheated the tortilla on the griddle and placed the fillings on top of the crispier part in order to fold the more pliable half. My new stove gets much hotter than my previous one, so I’m still in a bit of a learning curve in regards to temp settings

Sloppy pours

The ringer cannot look empty

Tacos. Scrambled eggs with leftover ribeye, pork loin, cheddar, and giardeniara. Homemade salsa and hot sauce on top. Gas stove comes in clutch making these gluten free tortillas actually appetizing.

He was solid that year (believe he was Big 12 FOTY), but his performance in the tournament was absolutely not indicative of his body of work. The bottom line with Hunter is that he came from absolutely nothing. Both parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his older brother. He needed money, and that's why he came to Austin. I'm sure he said all the right things about the staff and program, but by all accounts he was very happy at ISU (especially being 4-5 hours from home) prior to learning what kind of bag was out there. He was projected as a fringe NBA guy at best, so this was his opportunity to make money playing basketball that he could use to stabilize his family and at least give him some options at a better life. In my experience people just don't perform at their best when they're only doing something for money. Maybe he had a good connection with Beard, but obviously he's not part of the equation any more either. Regardless, he went to Texas for primarily financial reasons, and then the program shifted suddenly under his feet. What he signed up for isn't what he's getting at this point. I think a lot of people in his situation would find themselves adrift for lack of a better term.

Fault Lines is absolutely a shot at him.

Not necessarily. It’s his second. He might be sober, but there’s plenty of evidence that he’s an insufferable narcissistic twat IRL regardless. I still fuckin’ love his music.

As someone who started watching in probably 2008ish, I found the pre-Leon seasons to be pretty good, but found the show hit another gear when they showed up.

Her unfuniness is the joke itself. She plays a horrifically bad actor in the previous season that Larry gets blackmailed into putting into his show. Then the show takes off, because of her, and becomes a giant success. The world is absolutely in love with Maria Sofia despite her being absolutely untolerable and grating. Larry and Jeff are the only ones who see how awful she is. Like always, the world is gaslighting them. It's essentially the essence of the show. You go back and forth between Larry being crucified for completely rational behavior/opinions, followed by him absolutely earning his scorn in epic ways, and it all tying together through a series of incredibly unfortunate and unlikely coincidences.
