  1. You three should form a superhero group and fight crime.
  2. “We just can’t assume that those 980,000 illegal immigrants will never commit murders.” JD Vance
  3. Yeah, introverts don’t do that.
  4. I’m surprised Graham’s article wasn’t “25 reasons why Texas loses to Mississippi State.”
  5. How dare you make a joke about my mom!!!
  6. Welp, I just said my goodbye to Thing One after moving her into her freshman dorm at University of Oregon. I gave her the longest hug I’ve given her in a while, and she squeezed me back the whole time. I told her, “You make me so happy, and I know you’re going to do great.” I feel a little awful, but mostly happy. In the end, I’ve had little to do with how awesome she’s become, but I like to think I’ve been a pretty good dad to her, and am grateful for how resilient she’s been after her parents divorced shortly before she started high school. I know she’ll continue to amaze me. Now, I’m sitting alone at the Wild Duck Cafe, a local UO joint across from the basketball arena, having the first of a few beers that will be part mourning, part celebratory. I’ll probably end the day at what has become my favorite brewery in Eugene, and will wake up before dawn tomorrow, shake off the cobwebs and fly back home, landing in the middle of what I hope to be a Longhorn ass-whipping of Mississippi State, with a heart full of love.
  7. Thanks, man. Looks like there’s one a lot closer to campus. FIGHT!!!
  8. From Eugene, Oregon (pic of the Willamette River below), a few hours from moving my daughter into her freshman dorm (I’m not going to cry, I’m not going to cry, I’m not going to cry) . . . TEXAS!!!
  9. Are you upset that a natural disaster might drown more people than you?
  10. Enjoying a brief furlough from the blastfurnace with a beautiful 70 degrees in Eugene. I’ll be back on Saturday in time to sweat my ass off at a concert at Moody Amphitheater.
  11. If you say “presser,” just keep fucking off.
  12. Sorry to miss the SEC opener tailgate, as I’ll be flying back from Oregon after moving my daughter into her freshman dorm, but looking forward to the thread with photoshopped pics of imma shitting himself.
  13. Just ask a local where you can watch some football.
  14. I don't wish a slow and painfully debilitating disease like Parkinson's on anybody, not even Brett Farve. So I'm fine if he just burns in hell.
  15. From my lawyer perspective, Hays County is much bluer because of all the down-ballot local races the Dems won in 2022, including a sweep of the judiciary. Sure, Biden won by a bit in Wilco. But as far as I know the local officials are all still blood red. And there are three incumbent Republican district judges up for re-election in November, and it doesn't look like any of them even drew a Democratic challenger. So I'd actually still call Wilco a red county, but one that actually held its nose and voted for Biden because Trump was awful enough to make them do it. They may do it again, but I don't think the local offices are swinging blue any time soon.
  16. Asheville currently at the top of our fantasy retirement list.
  17. Deion Sanders is just a character. Mike Leach was a character who also had character.
