  1. You know, if you're an Alabama fan, you have a lot to be thankful for in that first quarter. First, you haven't punted once in 5 possessions! That's a win. Second, you held Michigan to under 20 yards on all four of their possessions! Great job, guys! Let's focus on those positives, here, and build from there.
  2. That's not iced coffee; that's cold brew. For iced coffee... I just put ice in a mug and brew espresso over it. Top-notch every time. need pics of farm girls to confirm
  3. i should probably put that in the nil thread rather than here, but the book is fresh on my mind and I'm here and NIL has come up so fuck it
  4. Yes. The trouble is that the entire existing structure is the other way around, from the universities, to the coaches, to the agents, to the NCAA itself. Just finished reading the fantastic book Hot Dog Money about Marty Blazer, the FBI's insider who helped take down Pitino (and would've taken down SO MANY more if the FBI agent in charge hadn't gone crazy with $13500 in government funds one weekend in Vegas). Blazer really believed that NIL was going to make things worse for the kids, not better, in no small part because NIL was the NCAA's idea to begin with.
  5. Wife and I are similar but different in car buying sense. I tend to buy the best buy I can, new, then drive it until it is cheaper to buy a new car than to keep the old one, and maintain it to a T. She tends to buy used cars, never do any maintenance, and either drive them into the ground, or sell them before any maintenance or repairs are due. I think both work, it's just a matter of preference. I can't stand the idea of not taking care of a piece of machinery.
  6. Tell me you've never seen 'em live with DLR without telling me you've never seen 'em live with DLR. Even on the reunion tour with Wolf on bass, it was an entirely different show. But yeah, with Sammy? The FUCK tour was OK, I guess. It got bad from there.
  7. What's sad is my wife pointing out how whiny he was at the time, only for me to try to defend him, because -- as someone who started being a Longhorn fan in earnest in 1989 -- I'd never had it so good.
  8. I carried so much water on behalf of Greg Davis at the time I'm still hunched over and the basement's still flooded.* I realize that decrying him now may look like over-correcting. But the only thing Davis did was steal the very simple zone read scheme Missouri was running and hand it to Vince. All the jokes about the "Greg Davis 3rd and 5" are true. No one in coaching circles goes around trying to copy what Greg Davis was doing; Davis was the copycat, but with no knowledge of when a good idea is a good idea and when it isn't. Folks pointed out this flaw with his play calling, but it's also true to how you create an offense to begin with. Davis got big numbers because he had an overwhelming talent advantage. When he didn't have that, he couldn't move the ball or score. *I do not have a basement. It's a figure of speech, kay?
  9. The knee-jerk response to this is typically "Because Vince," and while Vince's heroics were a critical piece of it, there's more. warning: detailed longcat commences; grab yer adderall and try to stay awake The still oversimplified but much longer story is that he got lucky with some changes to his staff. (To be fair, he had some hires of his own that were good. Akina was a great hire; Tolleson was fantastic his entire tenure here. And... well. That's the lot.) Hiring Dick Tomey. I've been beating this drum ever since it happened, and honestly it basically happened on accident. Tomey changed the way Mack had done things for decades, including having starters go against starters in practice. And revamping his defensive staff in general was needed, because his initial hire was a gadget coach who made his name by stopping Spurrier's Florida teams. Mack had called Tomey up to see who he should hire to coach DE's, and Tomey told him "Hire me." He, SB-winning coach Greg Robinson, and (already on staff) Duane Akina then helped build some championship-winning defenses. Tomey was the only person who could tell Mack to do things differently. McWhorter coaching Nunez's recruits. When Mack started, he hired Tim Nunez as OL coach, who was a top-notch talent identifier/acquirer who couldn't develop that talent once they arrived; McWhorter could develop that talent once on the team, but was lazy and awful at identifying and acquiring said talent. The 2005 season featured a starting OL with Nunez's recruits and McWhorter's development. They were awesome and it was never as good before or since. These things were more or less Mack catching lightning in a bottle, things that broke him out of his normal tendencies and finally got him that gold ring. But he himself didn't recognize how critical they were, and after Tomey left, he eventually went back to the ways he had done things before, as if to prove that he could do it his own way. And that might have worked in 2008 and 2009 if one thing had been different: If the OL recruiting had been as good under McWhorter as it had been under Nunez (again, with McWhorter's development). Without a good enough OL, poor Colt McCoy was destroyed in the Big XII title game (where we barely eked out a win) and completely ruined in Pasadena (which by itself probably led to the loss). I mean... the fact that Mack thinks he should've given Garrett Gilbert more snaps, instead of, you know, maybe getting some badass bruisers on OL in the preceding years over Good Kids Who Graduate, just shows that he still has no idea how he did it in '05.
  10. I heard Mack's little bitchy whiny voice for three whole seconds and noped the fuck out of it. I'd rather hear Herman blab about winning being hard* in one hand while Strong talks about cakes being baked on repeat for thirty-five minutes straight than hear that voice for another three seconds. *hehehehehehhee "hard' ehehehehehe
  11. are you new here or something?
  12. btw, y'all need to be giving sushi ALL the rep for doing this shit
  13. Yeah, THAT guy. Amazing performer. He did NOT care that the audience didn't care to see them on stage; he was going to rock the house regardless, and the band was with him. And from what little I've seen of him in interviews, smart as fuck, too. Now while Bach didn't have to carry his band, and Bach to the theme of this thread (autocorrect made that pun and I'm not fixing it): Cristina Scabbia. The reason she's so short is because she's been squashed down from carrying Lacuna Coil. Saw them on some tour sponsored by a shitty flavored alcoholic something here in SD. They were only given a 30 minute set, and it took them 3 songs to get warm. And even once they were warm, like I said, Scabbia carried that band. At least with a performance that bland, I knew they were actually playing their instruments, I guess?
  14. He drove a car. Duh. A Honda, in fact. But he didn't talk about it. John 12:49 -- "For I do not speak of my own Accord, ..."
  15. Well... the AI generator that created all that's version of it, of course. I didn't type any of that shit out.
  16. The equation to calculate the gravitational force acting on a boob (or any object) is F = mg where: F: is the gravitational force in Newtons m: is the mass of the boob (in kilograms) g: is the acceleration due to gravity, approximately 9.8 m/s² To calculate the mass of the boob, you need to know its volume and the density of water (approximately 1000 kg/m³). This equation applies to any object, not just a boob, as long as you know its mass. The concept of skin elasticity in relation to gravity can be understood through the idea of stress and strain, where the force of gravity acts as a constant downward stress on the skin, leading to increased strain (deformation) as skin loses its natural elasticity due to aging and reduced collagen/elastin production, causing sagging. Skin elasticity is primarily determined by the presence of collagen and elastin fibers, which act like tiny springs to resist deformation. Gravity exerts a continuous downward force on the skin, particularly on facial features, causing it to stretch and sag over time if its elasticity is compromised. Besides gravity, other factors like sun exposure, genetics, hydration levels, and age can also significantly impact skin elasticity. In biomechanical terms, the skin can be visualized as a material with a stress-strain curve, where the "stress" is the force of gravity and the "strain" is the deformation of the skin due to that force. As skin loses elasticity with age, its ability to resist deformation decreases, meaning even a small gravitational force can cause noticeable sagging.
  17. You need to show evidence to back up that claim. Lots and lots of evidence.
  18. oh shit I knew I recognized that voice... it's Galindo covering the Independence Bowl (along with our own Fozzy Whittaker) pain
  19. counter to the counterpoint: If those milk-bags weren't slung in cloth they'd be down by her navel
  20. why is army throwing the ball
  21. Welcome to the board. Introducing yourself by insulting the guy who runs the place is an odd way to start out.
  22. Jesus Christ. I would not want to fuck around OR find out with that guy.
  23. Love Bobby, and I love you too, @immamac, but count me in on Team Bob here. Mack needs to go find something else to fuck up. We JUST got our program straightened after he did to it what we did to ShaggyBevo -- shit all over it on the way out. So what if he won a national title? Scat porn is the more recent memory and more relevant to our current situation.
