  1. this is the correct answer. The schools with the most NIL money will buy the best players.
  2. Sounds like a fun game to attend. If I didn't have a shit ton of shit to do this weekend and next week, I'd think about making the drive.
  3. HOLY SHIT WE"RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!! oh wait, you said an X TWO point 8 flair. Nevermind.
  4. After my freshman year in college, I told my dad I didn't think college was for me. He got me a job with a contractor friend of his shingling roofs in Austin. I lasted a summer, then my ass was back in school for the fall semester. Pay was good for the mid 80s-- ten buck an hour under the table straight cash on Fridays, plus lunch daily and a cold beer on the drive home. Same pay the illegals on the crew got. I'd drive to the boss's house in the am, we'd go pick up the rest of the crew--same two or three other guys every day on 1st street, north of the river, a few blocks west of Congress (I think it was about where the city hall is now). Worked 50- 60 hours a week. Even at 19 or 20 years old, working on a roof in august in Austin almost killed me. I have nothing but respect for guys who work construction outside in hell holes like Austin now. That job motivated me to stay in school and get a degree, and then a masters, and now I mostly work outside anyway, but not shingling roofs.
  5. Love that movie. "go find yourself a spin cycle!" "yeah, go find yourself a spin cycle! Wait, what does that even mean?" "Man, look at the size of those maggots in the rotten meat!"
  6. lol. you won't ever convince me the snub wasn't due to the committee members saying "I'm not listening to that fucking war chant 50 thousand times during a playoff game."
  7. Obama beating that fuck at golf would be glorious. No carts, walk 18 holes. Bone spurs wouldn't last.
  8. lol look at the last frame of the video in this tweet
  9. lol "Florida Alliance"
  10. We had a dog years ago (terrier mutt mix, rescue) that would just kind of randomly get seizures. We only actually witnessed a handful at most over a period of 5 or so years, probably had some we never saw. Vets could never find anything wrong, dog lived to a ripe old age. Seizures lasted maybe a minute (but seemed lot longer) and she would recover pretty quickly. Half an hour later, back to normal. vets told us the seizures look a lot worse than they are. Anyway, hope that helps.
  11. Based on the look of the surrounding vegetation, that's going to happen to both houses at some point anyway when the inevitable wildfire comes.
  12. I hope that they subpoena all the texts, correspondence, meeting minutes, whatever, and it comes out they decided against FSU because the committee is sick of hearing that goddamn war chant over and over and over during their games.
  13. Sat evening I'm sitting on the couch, watching the end of the army-navy game. Its 6 pm. Wife comes downstairs and the following conversation ensues: Wife: Don't forget we're going to that play tonight. Me: Right. Wife: Its at 8. Me: Got it. Wife: We probably need to leave no later than 6:30. Me: Ok Wife: (Gives me a look) Me: I'll be ready by 6:30. Wife: Okayyyyy... Guess who was sitting in the truck with the engine running at 6:35, while the two female members of the household were not ready?
  14. That's one way to feed the seagulls, I guess.
  15. Elmo told the advertisers on twiiter to go fuck themselves, and I did nothing because I was not an advertiser on twitter. Elmo told the FCC to go fuck itself, and I did nothing because I was not part of the FCC. Elmo told the IRS to go fuck itself, and I did nothing because I was not part of the IRS. And then Elmo told me to fuck myself, and nobody did anything because who gives a fuck what Elmo says?
  16. Last time I flew to the LA area, I flew into Long Beach. Smallest American commercial airport I've ever flown into/out of.
  17. OU is a bigger rivalry, but I hate aggy so much more. OU is (usually) a worthy opponent. aggy just brings shame to the great state of Texas. edit to add: I reserve the right to rekindle my pig hate after we begin playing them regularly again.
  18. This Nick Fuentes guy is Troll Supreme. Convince me otherwise. The danger of course is that the MAGATs and fascists and christian nationalists are too stupid to realize that they are getting trolled, and will actually implement such plans if they take power.
  19. It is part of the aTm system. Its charter is to fight, prevent, educate and research wild fires. It is also involved in forest management, wildlife management, resource conservation, pest control, etc, but a lot of those duties are more the purview of other actual state agencies (TX Parks and Wildlife, Tx Dept of Agriculture, etc). I was not aware that it is in charge of any disaster response, other than acutally fighting wildfires. I presume that like other state agencies, it is staffed by primarily aggy grads. I had the misfortune to work for the Tx Dept of Ag for three years, and those fucks gave me shit daily about being a UT grad. I believe I was the only professional in the area office that was not an aTm grad. edit: may have been a Sul Ross or Texas St grad in the mix somewhere.
  20. Bullshit. your AI is wrong.
  21. all mammals can swim. And that's my contribution. (cue some asshole with the one exception to that rule)
  22. shouldn't the thread title be "Random wheels doing random wheel things?"
