  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. No. She’s a nurse with a family but she’s just a very, very bland person.
  4. Except for King Of Oklahoma. My God is that a fucking SONG
  5. His need to fight every mouth breather in his Twitter feed is evidence.
  6. Pioneer. They’re responsible for a measurable portion of my net worth.
  7. 30 miles in February on the Root River Trail
  8. 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
  9. Sloppy pours
  10. The ringer cannot look empty
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Fault Lines is absolutely a shot at him.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. If you're an older Millenial/young Gen X, this song will always remind you of how every chick you were after in 1997 was hopelessly in love with Leo. I remember the chick I was into at the time crying on the school bus when this piece of shit came on the radio, because she was just too overcome with the emotion of poor Jack dying of hypothermia in the north Atlantic. I guess I probably dodged a bullet there.
  18. According to Facebook, I saw Jason at First Ave in Minneapolis 10 years ago today. I took a picture of him and Amanda singing "Mutineer" by Warren Zevon and captioned it "the heirs apparent to Johnny and June". That's some irony in your Thursday.
  19. It gets easier, but it never gets easy I can say it's all worth it But you won't believe me You can't expect her to follow your lead She's fine with wine and her weed It gets easier, but it never gets easy It never gets easy When your words mean nothing When the world turns to monochrome And you know she's not bluffing 'Cause you feel it in your bones You feel it in your bones Oh, and did you ever love a woman with a death wish? Something in her eyes like flipping off a light switch Everybody dies but you gotta find a reason to carry on Oh, and did you ever catch her climbing on the rooftop Higher than a kite, dead of winter in a tank top? I don't wanna fight with you, baby, but I won't leave you alone Jason definitely saw this coming awhile ago.
  20. I’m gonna say it: this is why Weathervanes was so much better than any other post Southeastern album. Jason was going through some shit when he wrote it.
  21. Not a huge surprise after seeing the tension between them in the doc. I wonder if Amanda’s substance use was part of this. She had a weed pen or a wine glass in damn near every scene of the HBO doc. I’m not saying she has a substance use problem, but rather that it would be difficult IMO to be completely sober while living with someone who isn’t. Jason has hinted at it lyrically (It Gets Easier).
  22. I've only ever been able to find Herr's at Menard's (it's like a Midwestern version of Lowe's) and they make these things which are just absolute crack.

    Toby Keith RIP

    If radio/mainstream pop country has been your favorite genre of music for the past 30 years, he definitely qualifies.
  24. We really needed you guys to beat Baylor. We don't get a rematch in Ames with them this year. I see plenty of potential future losses for Baylor, but this is one thing I really don't like about the lack of double round robin. Winning the regular season will come down more to the luck of the draw going forward.
