  1. Give 'em whatever tire they want, but only allow each car to hold 12 gallons of fuel. Plenty of pitstops then. But really, I don't know if forcing more pitstops (though intentionally-shitty tires or limiting fuel) is a good way to increase engagement. It just introduces more randomness. I mean, we could just roll a D6 after each qualifying session and if a 6 hits, we invert the starting order--chaos race! Or we could have sprinkler or soaker systems set up to make sure we get the equivalent of at least 5 rain laps every race. Or give each driver some kind of light gun that he could aim at any car within 50 meters and zap it, giving the target car a power drain for like 5 seconds.
  2. I'm just echoing what everyone else has said but that offensive performance was...offensive. Putrid. Terrible OL play, moronic penalties, and "the fuck was that?"-level play calling and game management. I feel bad for the Texans defense, who gave the offense multiple chances to get back into the game. It was not unlike watching the UT offense fumblefuck around, except that the Texans are a fucking professional NFL team and have even less excuse to put this product on the field.
  3. I'm telling myself I've seen worse games but man this still feels pretty shitty. Miami Cotton Bowl Rice 1994 2016 Kansas 66-3?
  4. Is it true that Costco vaccines come with a free extended warranty, like TVs?
  5. Just after the game last night an acquaintance called me to complain about Dak's play. He also said he was "impressed" by "how well" the Cowboys defense played to "keep them in the game." There are some fans that will blame Dak for everything.
  6. The Cowboys have no defense and the Texans have no offense. If the two teams played, who would win?
  7. It's only an "indoor day" for highs under 20 F? And 95 F can be OK, depending on humidity. Map is biased against Southern states. Like to see a version where highs under, say, 32 F are indoor days, which is a more realistic threshold IMHO. An "average" and correct-thinking person would consider 20 F considerably more unpleasant and extreme than 95 F.
  8. Every time I try to get into the Texans (as a backup to the Cowboys) they shit the bed so hard. Time to change the mattress again.
  9. This is kind of irrelevant now because I found a stream--but I just want a sanity check. Yesterday I checked listings on Youtube TV, and I swear it showed the Texas game on either ESPN regular, or on SEC Network (regular, no "plus," no bullshit, etc.) I selected the game to be recorded. I even checked my scheduled recordings and it showed up as a future event to be recorded. But tonight, I tune in to Youtube TV and it didn't record, and it wasn't running on ESPN or SEC Network. It turns out it wasn't carried on Youtube TV at all. Did the game get moved off the scheduled channel to ESPN+/SEC+ at the last minute? Does anyone know why? If it was always going to be this way, why did Youtube TV let me set up a recording for it yesterday?
  10. This week Arch is gonna go into Chow Yun Fat dual-wielding mode
  11. Did you watch Glengarry Glen Ross and come away with the opinion that the Alec Baldwin character was supposed to be anything other than a complete shithead?
  12. I bet that dude is pulling lots of coed ass at the dorm.
  13. Got just a 5 minute shower today, ground is already dry again. Austin will get widespread deep soaking rain soon right?
  14. Are menu prices at Indian restaurants going to go up?
