  1. “Is this true?” ”Yes, this conference has no dick.”
  2. He’ll drop Texas out of the top 5 because he heard somewhere that during a bye week practice Isiah Bond dropped a pass.
  3. That was awful. I want my money back, plus punitive damages.
  4. She grew up her whole life 10 minutes from the Texas campus, and just wanted to go far way for college. I have some roots in the Pacific Northwest, and as an athlete she wanted to go to a school with good sports programs. And UO gave her a lot of money.
  5. “Don’t knock masturbation. It’s having sex with someone I love.” – Woody Allen
  6. Similar dynamic here. Dad is a Vietnam veteran who served 27 years in the Marines, and has gone hard core Trumper. Except my mom is now full on Democrat. GW drove her from the Republican Party and she’s never voted GOP since. It bottles my mind how my dad has gone MAGA when (1) Trump shits all over vets, and (2) his granddaughter is gay. But it’s futile talking reason with an 80-year-old boomer. At least he knows better than to talk politics around us anymore. And I’m his son, so I love him.
  7. All the kids in Texas, like my daughter, who are going to UO. A few of her classmates are also going there. The school recruits nonathletes heavily in this state. I heard that SW may be starting a direct flight from Austin to Eugene.
  8. If his name was Arch Smith he’d be cleaning my pool.
  9. I mean, I really like Walz, but it feels like Kamala Harrris missed a huge opportunity when she passed on Gary Peterson as her running mate.
  10. My daughter didn't consider Colorado for other reasons, but am glad she didn't, because that school is notoriously stingy with any kind of merit aid for nonresidents, probably because the school is always in high demand. Contrast that with Oregon, which threw some generous aid at my daughter, making her college choice so much easier on my finances. And she got into the honors college, giving her a more rigorous curriculum than the gen pop. You may be doing this, but have an honest conversation with your son about college finances. Certainly over the academics in comparing universities, but be honest about what amount you can or will fund, and let them know that their choice might entail taking on a large amount of debt that could possibly take decades to pay off. I'll be rooting for Arkansas, and would have no problem if my son considers going there.
  11. With our luck, Trump will be at the Texas v. Georgia game with Ted Cruz.
  12. Brent Venables never returned his tapes to Blockbuster.
  13. Wife and I went to Asheville for the first time in early August and fell in love with the city. We spent a whole day bar and studio-hopping around the River Arts District, which is located downslope from the center of town and along the banks of the French Broad. The pics I'm seeing of the area are heartbreaking, with a huge numbers of businesses suffering a total loss.
  14. He's eating a pickled beet straight out of the jar using a cocktail sword. I'm going to give him a pass on the glassware.
  15. I heard a Democratic consultant on NPR this morning use the term "poller coaster." I chuckled.
  16. Arch Manning shits towels.
