  1. It was only worn once - a loss to Texas in Jack Trice on a Thursday, where it was paired with these awful charcoal grey alts we were using. The uniform I posted up thread is light years better than this shit. The grey alts only came close to working one time, and that was when we paired them with white jerseys and helmets in Stillwater the year before.
  2. If this trend continues, I might just start hoping my daughter is a lesbian.
  3. Well, our marketing department shit this turd out in (checks notes) 2017: You should see Iowa fans whenever someone wears a black alternate.
  4. Holy shit that is awful. But VERY representative of that era’s aesthetic.
  5. Great book. I’ve read everything Klosterman has ever wrote. His background (and ingrained worldview as a result) is extremely similar to mine, except I ended up more like his older brother who took over the family farm. Hell, he even looks like my best friend’s brother.
  6. I’m from a very small town and it’s absolutely the reason my youth experience had a heavy Gen X vibe. We were very much 3-5 years behind on a lot of cultural trends.
  7. It’s the fucking mom jeans
  8. I’m an elder millennial (‘85) and I wanted to get pussy because, well, it’s fucking awesome. There was nothing societal about it. My brain was just wired with a high sex drive. It sounds like yours is less so. There’s nothing wrong with that either, so long as you’re comfortable with yourself and others. None of this makes you a “man”. But guys who actively despise women because they can’t convince any of them to have consensual sex are definitely not real men.
  9. I've regularly served backstrap that people thought was beef loin before I told them what it was. Our deer are basically eating the diet of a beef cow, just roaming through corn and soybean fields and eating that all summer long.
  10. God, I had forgotten that logo. At least your unis were fine. Or at least I remember them being fine. Good lord standard definition was dog shit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jef5UFUHxlU
  11. God, all that shit is so late 90's-early 00's.
  12. I hate those things. We were always rated "worst uniforms in college football" in those days. The whirly bird was busy as hell, and the blue accents were dog shit.
  13. Some mild tweaks to ours (shoulder stripes, and using white on the jerseys) that I think improve them. Previous version:
  14. Have you had venison from a deer that lived in corn country?
  15. They're 16 seasons deep. Of course there's some crap episodes. When it's on, it's at a level of funny that even Larry David can't pull off. The 5th season of Sunny is the funniest season of any television show, ever, IMO. It was just straight heaters.
  16. My Top 5 sitcoms: Sunny Parks Curb Seinfeld Arrested Development If Trailer Park Boys is a sitcom, it probably bumps AD. Or I'd just merge Curb and Seinfeld cause it's all Larry David.

    Eddie used to drink 2 whole bottles of wine at every show. In the not that distant past. And he smoked cigarettes for years (maybe still does?). Combine that with just being a touring musician and all the complications that would put on someone, and I think he looks pretty good for 60. Other than McCready, who got clean pretty damn fast, they all stayed away from hard drugs, which is the other secret to their longevity.
  18. This is mind blowing to me. They CAN be cool, but you have to spend a lot on drainage or build on a hillside to have a walk out.
  19. Interesting read. Around here basements aren’t about saving space - they’re for hiding from storms and people just kinda figured if they had this space they’d use it. If I ever build a house from scratch, I’ll just have a fortified internal room with concrete walls. Basements are mostly a headache in my experience.
  20. How come no one south of I-40 has basements? Soil types? I'll admit that they're mostly a hassle up here and are prone to flooding and all kinds of issues, but I definitely get some peace of mind knowing that there's a convenient place to hide from naders.
  21. I’m not in the watch. Yet.
  22. Round 2 for basically the exact same area that got hit Friday
  23. They’re all the same, right?
  24. To be clear, I wasn't advocating for the show to end there. There were a lot of great moments after that. I'm just saying it felt like a finale. The final scene, with American Girl playing in the background, and everything working out for everyone felt final. My criticism of the later years (and it's a minor one) is that (in Ron Swanson's words) everyone got a little too chummy and they leaned into the insularity of the Pawnee universe a little too much. I still felt the show scratched more or less the same itch from Season 2 through the end.

    Pearl Jam

    It's probably in my top 3. Definitely top 4. I'd put Vitalogy and Vs. ahead of it, solidly, but after that there's a strong argument in it's favor. I always enjoyed them rolling Betterman into Save It For Later by the English Beat.
