  1. Austin sports radio guys were saying this morning that Buzz hates Trev Alberts, as did Schloss. Further flavor: I didn't realize A&M couldn't land Skip Johnson to replace Schloss because of that very reason, too. Alberts may turn out to be the most disastrous hire in A&M history, and that INCLUDES Jimbo.
  2. I'm surprised he didn't say it anyway. I've seen MAGAts blame Obama for being asleep at the switch on 9/11. 2001. Obama. This country is fucked.
  3. My stepdaughter and her 10 YO son were less than 5 minutes ahead of that mess, coming home from Round Rock. I went to bed before they got home, and when I saw the push on my phone in the middle of the night my heart sank. I ran outside to confirm her car was in the driveway, and it was.
  4. Nah, this is (or was) a Springfield 11.

    These guys were GREAT at 13th Floor. Some of the other bands, not so much. Snotty garage rock, tight as hell, somewhere between Oasis and The Stooges.
  6. Is there a key somewhere that differentiates between an "ember zone" and a "proximity zone"?
  7. Now this is a thinking man.
  8. Surely DOGE will get to the bottom of the spurious flights to Cuba and put a halt to them post haste.
  9. Well, I laughed. Huge props to whoever came up with that name.
  10. As I alluded, he's now 51:
  11. I found Looch's bio, which is incredibly cringe-worthy, not to mention devoid of prescience. Spoilered for length.
  12. If I'm cooking them, I'll sometimes use the frozen diced onions or frozen "fajita vegetables" (onions + red/green peppers) from HEB. I can't tell the difference in a sauce. They cost a bit more than fresh, but no prep. I don't know why they don't have a frozen mire poix (onions, carrots, celery). Seems obvious.
  13. Not too late, but she should probably pick a sport or two and play select. Find a coach who has placed kids in college and listen to what that coach has to say. I saw too many "seventeen D1 head coaches will be at this soccer tournament" that had zero actual reach to believe many club coaches know what they're doing. And, go to camps at schools she's interested in by end of soph or early junior year. This stuff moves fast. I know the trepidation -- club sports cost money. It doesn't always have to be horrible, but we paid ~ $400 for gear and something like ~ $300 monthly, and that was cheap, especially for the quality of club.
  14. Yeah, the talking point I hear from the rank and file is "somebody has to protect our girls". Nothing about trans boys. And, as others have said, it's a tiny fraction of athletes. I'm pretty sure there could be a reasonable science-based standard that would level the playing field, but that's not the agenda.
  15. So nobody is pushing Acie Law? BLASPHEMY.
  16. My first thought was Lew (Kareem). Then I got mired in a morass of Bird vs Magic (rivalry, not position), Laetnner (fuck Laetnner), Durant, Manning, god the list goes on. I do think MJ was a bit of a Clemens -- pro career outshone the college career. Interesting topic.
  17. Good read, regardless. Thanks. I'm glad Schloss doesn't get butt-hurt over mouthy gamesmanship.
  18. User name, check.
  19. But Trump doesn't care about them. He doesn't care about any American other than a couple of rich people. It is truly "Trump VS America".
  20. LOL this is how checked out I am -- I told myself "hey make sure you tune in to the game" and guess what I did? Forgot about the game. I guess I'm good luck. Should I watch or bail? We want a win or no?

    Rhymes with "eye". I have no idea if that's correct in German. I don't even know why they picked that name. They tell me nothing. What was Kevin Connor doing talking about them? I'm not sure they've gotten much airplay on Sun, at least compared to KUTX.
  22. I'd say the only way he'll make it to 2030 is if he cuts out the sweets, most of the other carbs, gets regular exercise and goes on statins and BP medication.
