  1. I'm curious -- did all those guys play HSS Strats a significant amount?
  2. Miles would know. He was off pitch half the time, but damn he set a standard. I will continue to tout my G&L "Tele" with a standard Tele bridge pickup and a humbucker at the neck. Maybe not a Swiss Army knife but about as close as I can imagine getting.
  3. Fair. Paul Westerberg might have hit the middle with some of his solo stuff, although closer to the Dylan lyrical + technical combo.
  4. I imagine most guys who would take that job would give Tua the first shot, which sucks for Quinn.
  5. Context and timeframe matter. When that album was released, the rock music world was still reeling over the loss of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. Then, out of the blue, Nirvana's DRUMMER drops an LP that featured all kinds of pop songwriting smarts. Nobody expected that. Nobody. "Big Me" is a terrific nod to 60's folk rock, with the major 3 (E) chord and the C-C7 passing chord on the root. It's a very well written song, and it came as a huge surprise. That album actually started to get people wondering just how much influence Grohl might have had on Nirvana's songwriting, and for good reason. And yes, it is better than any song by The Killers.
  6. I've had the usual assortment of injuries like torn ACL, broken bones, etc. but honestly the pain of a burn in a kitchen fire -- just my THUMB -- was the worst. And that was only 2nd degree. I can't imagine walking 1.5 miles with 3rd degree bans, even it they were "just" on his hands.
  7. Just think how great it would be if you loaned me $8,000!
  8. A former coworker played for the Austin Blacks. It was basically a mid-to-high level men's league team. I seriously doubt they have cash reserves amounting to anything. Some of the individuals will, though.
  9. He walked over 10 miles to find help? That's crazy.
  10. I didn't say otherwise, but that timeframe into the late 1980's represented a dearth of talent on the 40 Acres that hasn't been experienced since. We were just getting smoked by teams that were far more adept at the bag game.
  11. They were among the worst cheaters in that time period they love to crow about. At least Eric Dickerson took the Trans Am and STILL went to SMU. Oh yeah, we're 14-5 against them since then, so that makes it 15-15 since the start of the Jackie years. Cherry-picking timeframe can always be countered.
  12. My paternal grandfather and one of his daughters (my aunt) went to KU, and I gotta say their alumni base is increibly loyal even to this day. We had a great aunt that lived there so we visited often and Lawrence was really surprising. I expected it to be dull and flat -- basically, College Station -- and it was nothing of the sort. Hilly, great vibe, fun little town.
  13. I've been watching Texas bball for, oh, 40 years? We consistently fuck up layups more than any other team I've ever seen. Jesus. It's like a virus.
  14. jimmyjazz replied to South Austin's topic in Austin
    Yeah, Gusto's took a significant turn for the worse a few years into their run. I lived a couple of blocks from Vespaio, and I never really got it. Food was very good but the "jam yourself into this little bar and wait" thing got old. Enoteca took a lot of heat off, though.
  15. The hilarious part of this is that he's a kid from Texas playing for the Longhorns, and playing well. Forget revshare/NIL, forget the NFL. No matter what happens, if he keeps making contributions he is fucking SET FOR LIFE in this state. As of now, he is fucked for life. Way to go, dumbass.
