  1. I thought that bit about Rip Torn seemed wrong. More Aggie stolen valor. Plus, they left out Beyonce.
  2. Both of them?
  3. I happened to be at the game where Clemens got his number retired (and Swindell didn't). Clemens was such an ass, bragging that he was the 21 being honored. (Never mind that Swindell was the better college pitcher.) I don't really think I had much respect for him before that, but I sure didn't afterwards.
  4. I sure hope whoever it was who wrote "Friends In Low Places" did that augmented-whatever-the-hell-it-is chord and that it wasn't a session creation. But, that song also used the minor 2 liberally. It's just a great song. TERRIBLE recording (in my opinion).
  5. Well, if you want to be strict about it, I suppose you could argue that the A7 should be Am, since that's the minor 3rd of the 5 chord, but a major 3rd is a classic country (and pop) trick. They just turned the A to an A7. I think it totally belongs. I love how country chord progressions CAN be much more sophisticated than your average rock progression. "Friends in Low Places" is a great example. Another way of looking at it is that 1-3-4, while less common than 1-4-5, is plenty popular. This is just sort of a passing version of that.
  6. Oh, for sure you shouldn't assume I think much of the guy at all. He's a dick. But, he's been in Texas as long as I have and "raised" his family here. Regardless, he's a Trumper.
  7. OK, good job gatekeeping.
  8. Wasn't born here, but went to HS here and lives here now. Good enough?
  9. Breaking news: several rich white Texans support Trump. more at 10 PM.
  10. Little dogs start a lot more trouble than big dogs, though.
  11. The beauty of this year's schedule is that Notre Dame is their 3rd game. They are highly likely to be 2-0 before they go to South Bend and the roller coaster will be ready to crest that first hill.
  12. Best personal injury firm in Austin.
  13. If you listen to Sark, there is almost zero concern about our front 7. We've proven that the next DTs up will get the job done.
  14. I'm here to testify that tomato juice does jack in getting rid of skunk smell on a dog.
  15. I saw your post on the football thread and thought "did I put tomatillos in that recipe"? Now I get it. Must try.
  16. Every man needs a lawnmowing hat.
  17. I haven't questioned why they're ranked. I do think we'd beat the dog out of either of them. And yes, this game sucks.
  18. Well, all I remember is that some variation of a 6 was deemed "best" out of the box. Trust me, I'm not really a dynamics guy (although acoustics & vibrations are adjacent, and those fields I DO know a thing or two about).
  19. I think a flat 6 is the most inherently balanced of all configurations, but it's been a few years decades since kinematics & dynamics. Is an "inline 6" the same thing?
  20. I've seen better Taco Shack Bowls (now "Shoal Creek Showdown") between McCallum and Anderson.
  21. We would beat either of these teams by 3 TDs and I'm being overly generous to both of them.
  22. 3 and 9 are the only two that belong in the top 10. What an abomination.
  23. Becht seems like he sucks.
  24. Would you say it's "well-endowed"?
