Everything is interim if you think about it, Piper. Also, get a real name.

Very much looking forward to the first press conference with new LSU Athletics Director Kid Rock, sponsored by Keystone Light.

BBQ
Probably not the thread for this question, but whatever. Does anyone know how much a beef rib bone weighs? I've always wondered how much I'm paying for the bone. It's gotta be at least 4 ounces right? Maybe more?

Hey Steel Shank!
Had some leftover taco meat. Wrapped it in corn tortillas with cheddar. Pan fried them into taquitos or flautas. Whatever you want to call them. Made a tomatillo salsa a few days ago.

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
He's not taking a different college job. He might leave for the NFL, but similar to Sark, I don't think he's currently being seriously considered for any NFL gigs. Only one that would make sense is Atlanta if they think he can uniquely transform Penix into an all-pro. And his debut season was only a rocky start if you impossibly hold him to the same standard as Saban. They were one (admittedly disqualifying) loss to OU away from making the playoffs. Hardly a bad start in year one following the GOAT, even with the frustration of losing that OU game.

Your job rankings are whack as fuck. LSU is not top3. It's definitely top 10, though. Florida and Penn State on the cusp of top 10, anywhere from 9-15 depending on how you rank tier 4. OU not even close to a top 10 job. Tier One: Texas, Ohio State, Georgia Tier Two: Oregon, Alabama, Michigan (assuming Larry Ellison keeps giving $$) Tier Three: LSU, Notre Dame Tier Four: A&M, Florida, Penn State, Miami, Clemson, Florida State, Tennessee, Oklahoma,

THEORETICALLY everything is still there for the taking. Win out and win a NC. I don't think anyone believes it's a real possibility, but it's not impossible. Assuming that doesn't happen, we have the opportunity to have the second-best possible season - wins over both OU & A&M to potentially eliminate them from the playoffs. Honestly, that's really all I'm cheering for at this point.

Whenever I'm due a large amount of money from people who just fired me, I always accept less than half for no reason whatsoever. It's just smart.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
Has a player ever built a more outsized reputation off one game against arkansas than Harold Perkins? Also, that tweet is fake as fuck.

You've got two hands don't you? Everything else is just logistics...

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
If the rumor is that a player fathered the child, and that the player is matthew golden, isn’t the father pretty easily confirmed by, you know, looking at the kid?

News broke on the evening news or in the morning paper back then. It wasn't instantaneous. I don't know how you fix it though. The entire system incents sensationalism and immediacy over accuracy.

Texas vs. Mississippi State - 3:15pm on SEC Network
Is it a meltdown if it happens every week?

Who will be next Texas HC?
Sark could lose out and then go 5-7 next year and he’ll probably still coach here the following year.

Sagebrush put an announcement out at 8pm that they had not sold out yet. I was at Die Spitz and they were fucking awesome. Was that you in the white printed shirt playing guitar Jimmy?

Overrated Austin restaurants?
I confit the pork in the lard in the oven for like 3-4 hours, and then crisp it up in the skillet before serving. That's why you gotta get the good shit, and not that Armour garbage they sell at grocery stores.

Overrated Austin restaurants?
That's where I buy my lard for carnitas. The taco joint in that same gas station/carnicaria makes damn fine breakfast tacos. And they have a fantastic selection of $1 mexican hot sauces.

I'll be the guy yelling "Muledick!" after your song if the weather cooperates.

Shit I've Cooked Lately
I don't know. I do love a scoop of chili and a scoop of homemade mac and cheese. Sometimes a bowl of chili mac hits the spot.

Concerts you are attending
I thought about going to that, but the thought of seeing tortoise outside seemed weird. I have no idea why. @jimmyjazz, I have tickets to see your daughter's band tonight, and hoping the rain holds off. But that Spoon show at Sagebrush is also tempting. And indoors.

what time you reckon one would have to get in line to get tickets to that. Like, now?

Netflix Recommendations
Perfect Neighbor was a fucking gut punch. Not "dusty eyes". Full-on waterworks when the Dad has to talk to his kids.

Lunch - South Austin
Rusty Cannon Pub has pretty damn good bar food and is an all around quality dive-adjacent neighborhood bar to watch a game or meet a large group of people. It's in a super shitty strip mall at S 1st and Stassney which really adds to the vibe.
