  1. Two dropped touchdowns and three missed FGs, let’s not fool ourselves here: Tulsa is beating themselves more than we are beating them. This is is not a good Texas team.
  2. The meme obviously flew over your head. Nevertheless, don’t use the fucking Tulane game as some measure of status.
  3. Fuck this question. The important one is whether HEB is open or not.
  4. Ross definitely posts here. I can tell because he comes off like a pussy faget.
  5. I like the cut of Ricky and Michael’s jib. They’re demanding domination.
  6. I dunno how to spoiler shit so spoilers below: IIRC, the terrorists IT guy said he’d actually hard-wired that receiving cell phone to the hospital’s landline. That convenient magic patches the plot hole you mentioned with the inept craftsmanship of an aggy engineer and, to my earlier point, is simply another data point of lazy, half-baked writing.
  7. I think his “get out of jail free” is changing coordinator(s) but if he needs to forcibly do that at the end of his second year just to buy himself a third year, the eventual firing is obviously inevitable.
  8. Finished the season last night and would give the show thus far a C+. Decent twist at the end but ultimately the writers continued to throw out Clancy’s dedication to realistic details in order to manufacture quasi-preposterous drama. This isn’t a fanboi being upset at minutea like The Beast having the wrong hubcaps or something; this is obviously and needlessly fake drama like: Ryan: ”POTUS’s life is in immediate and imminent danger at this current location.” Secret Service: “Agreed. Helicopter’s about ten minutes out so we’re gonna chill for a bit.” Ryan: “OMG! The suspense!!” All I’m asking for is a suspension of disbelief. That’s what any good story needs Unfortunately, the writing room seems to be full of 15-year-old boys writing counterterrorism fan fiction.
  9. @Thetexashammer why not sack up and revisit your thread?
  10. Is it too new? Do you only re-litigate decades-old issues?
  11. ...unless it’s into a cage.
  12. Neutral? Like, on the Internet? Almost like a... I can’t quite put my finger on it.
  13. Shelving tempo after seeing success. Shelving the TEs in the passing game after a couple brief glimpses of success
  14. Which is a reasonable sample size. Herm Edwards will be the greatest coach of all time.
  15. It’s a chickenshit excuse to shift the blame to the team. Tom’s a fucking coward.
  16. Red-eyed Ann Kitchen driving an Uber? I’m just spitballing here.
  17. OP’s name doesn’t checkout. He can’t see for shit what’s right in front of his two eyes. Morher fucker’s probably liable for malpractice.
  18. Three episodes in and the jury’s still out. But so far, some of the cuff thoughts: Positives - I like the Cathy casting - I like seeing Jack and Cathy’s dad’s backstory - I’m enjoying seeing Jack this young in his career Negative - so far, I think Greer’s all wrong. The temperament doesn’t feel right, nor does the execution. It feels like Bunk Moreland playing Greer - the storyline is ok but the writing starting to feel like a higher budget NCIS. I expect more thought from a Clancy story.
  19. I bet first thing CDC asks is why imamac deleted those threads.
  20. Is that the guy who started various games’ threads every Saturday on Shaggy? I’m going to assume he is, in which case his schtick fucking reeked of desperation and approval-seeking, and led me to wonder how much of his weekends he’d spend trying to white knight local strippers with promises to put them through school, pay off their loans, etc. So to answer your question, Nicole: who gives a flying fuck?
  21. He tried once but his bone spurs flared up.
  22. CrimsonHorn lives outside Caldwell?
  23. They have Bluecifer, that devil horse out front, lizard people under the terminals, and legal weed. Checkmate.
