  1. Tough to imagine a better start to the Schloss era . . . keep it up, gentlemen.
  2. As you well know, I've been known to drink a beer or two. Those guys are next level.
  3. I seriously think SXSW just needs to reformulate as a 7-day event with every venue booking their own shows but one pass gets you in anywhere. Stop the profit model, give the money to the clubs and the artists (minus a MODEST administrative fee). As it stands it's just a floundering clusterfuck. (Dibs.)
  4. Not related to the joke.
  5. Nice catch, Farmer! That was tougher than it looked.
  6. I thought Pierce was at TxSt?
  7. I'm not a particularly experienced south Texas traveler, but I got stopped by border patrol leaving El Paso for Cloudcroft, and they were not thrilled with my drivers license as proof of citizenship. You could not get more gringo than me. This was at least 2 decades ago. I doubt they've gotten more lax. At this point, I would not travel to the US if I were a foreign citizen.
  8. Those "failure to signal a lane change" tickets aren't gonna write themselves.
  9. You promise? Can you rope Brisket in on this, too?
  10. Well, yeah. I'd rather get a lump sum that's probably 3X what I'd get annually somewhere else, and THEN go get another job after some nice R&R.
  11. My sister in law lives nearby and my MIL/FIL loved the place, so I've been quite a bit over the years. It definitely slipped a while back but seems to be on the rebound now. Their gorgonzola jalapeno pasta is actually quite delicious, although I have no idea what relation it might have to any halfway legitimate Italian dish.
  12. Miller has coached at legit tournament schools for something like 20 years. Pearl is at ~16 years, Oats is at ~ 6 years. I'd say Oats is winning that comparison.
  13. Got damn now that's some relief pitching!
  14. Christ, just throw the ball.
  15. I'm not sure what vintage you're looking at, but I've been running a Yamaha A-S701 integrated amp for a few years, and I don't miss my separates (various combinations of Conrad-Johson, McCormack, Bryston, etc.). In my mind a good amp is a good amp and if it colors the sound it's not really very good. That said, it should have enough grunt to get to whatever volume level you desire without going off the rails.
  16. Yup. Way to go, Galvan.
  17. It seems pretty obvious -- he wants you to stop taking his money. So stop.
  18. He wasn't the first pick in the draft for no reason.
  19. Well, I don't think it's going to be a secret kept from CDC as to Xavier's NIL budget, so I'm pretty sure we can suss that part out pronto. If Miller is (for instance) working with half the NIL budget but beating us, then that's at least a positive.
  20. Well, the reason things will never change is that they generally agree with the message, they just don't want to APPEAR like they agree with the message.
  21. Jesus, I hate the pre-hire announcement period. People are losing their minds.
