Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
I imagine most guys who would take that job would give Tua the first shot, which sucks for Quinn.

Foo Fighters or The Killers?
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.

Jordan Shipley - Texas Athletics Hall of Honor
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.

Just think how great it would be if you loaned me $8,000!

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
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.

He walked over 10 miles to find help? That's crazy.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
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.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
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.

Surly kids who can't get into UT
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.

Texas vs Tennessee- 8pm, ESPN2
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.

Italian
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.

Parker Livingstone
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.

The Drums Pron Thread
The Black Beauty is probably more appropriate for heavier music, but there is a reason the Supraphonic is such a widely used drum on recordings. To me, it just has a bit more of a flexible, "classic" sound (obviously Bonham for starters). Better answer: more gear beats less gear. Buy it.

Go stand in front of Archie's house in New Orleans and try to convince yourself the Mannings are anything but white white.

Your favorite opening track on an album?
In my opinion, Boston's biggest flaw was the fact that Tom Scholz couldn't write a decent lyric to save his life. I don't agree that every song sounds the same.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
Uh, the murder rate spike in 2021 is easily explained: mandatory covid vaccines.

RFK Jr. off the chain and off his rocker
Reducing the requirements is bad enough. I'm worried about the next step, which is to make it illegal to administer various vaccines.

It's too bad we pushed him out refused to pay $800K.

Parker Livingstone
He grew up in rural far north Texas, closer to Norman than Austin. I'd be willing to bet he doesn't hate the dirt burglars.

Do we still have a situation room in the White House, or was i in the East Wing Ballroom?

Trump’s America
Today I learned that black fabric curtains not only block the transmission of any light but the transmission of any sound. I'm going to go have a talk with Dr. Busch-Vishniac who taught my noise control class, because this is a new paradigm.

Snaps, targets, and dollars are practically fungible in this world. He thinks he's better than Sark does. I don't know who's right, but I don't think the end result has to be nefarious. You are putting words in my mouth. I also stay off the recruiting board.
