  1. He has snapped, or he is deep in the throes of addiction. Stop responding to him, he is not worth the effort. I hope he gets help.
  2. Lunacy. The quality options will be fewer next year. This isn't hard. Pay the fucking money. You charge us enough.
  3. That was my question. It seems like it would be a tuning nightmare.
  4. Ever encountered a trad-strung RH guitar but flipped for a lefty? I'm wondering how the tuning works out. Long strings short, short strings long, cats and dogs living together.
  5. I couldn't even get through the second verse.
  6. Like this?
  7. Let me guess: the property taxes funding AISD will drop from $1.68B to, oh I don't know, $1.4B but our recaptured funds will hold steady at $0.85B?
  8. I don't even understand the idea that "year 2" isn't enough time. Buyouts exist for a reason. RT will get paid. We shouldn't be held hostage to THAT perception (in contrast to what I feel was the only choice when we made him permanent).
  9. SHIT. I want to go see Helmet bad but I have a commitment 2/23.
  10. Seems an odd business practice -- "hey I want to buy some pecan, can I come pick it up?" "No." Meet them in a parking lot within their delivery zone?
  11. If there's one thing Texas needs, it's more "premium" "handcrafted" vodka.
  12. Flashback to the Jody vs Weltlich years.
  13. These guys apparently have a south Austin warehouse. No idea how good their pricing is. They sell logs, if that works for your smoker. Werner's pecan firewood
  14. Yeah, let's go to the back of the line after IU, UNC et al fill their head coaching slots.
  15. But why would there be a better pool of candidates after next season?
  16. Somebody explain this to me like I'm 5(0).
  17. Never thought I'd see that phrase.
  18. I'm trying to solve the puzzle. I just can't figure out why they targeted Jasmine Crockett, and not say Kevin Kern (R-OK) who is worth 40X that amount?
  19. I think he's as solid a hire in terms of predictable future success as Chris Beard was (dammit). A&M finished last in the SEC West in 2021 (9-21, 29-27), and he showed up and got them to the top of the SEC West in year one (19-11, 44-20, 2-2 in Omaha). And, we all know what they did in 2024. And then we hired him. I'm still laughing at that one.

    SXSW 2025

    I'm pretty sure I'm familiar with exactly none of those artists.
  21. I wonder how much money DOGE is spending to . . . slash fiscal waste?
  22. I was responding to someone countering my point that upper D2 teams could beat lower D1 teams from time to time. In point of fact, they can actually beat upper D1 teams from time to time. Let's not lose sight of what I was saying. I didn't say their schedule is as tough or that they would fare well against a D1 schedule.
  23. It took about 10 sec with google to find Fort Hays State beating Kansas State 81-68 in a 2020 exhibition, in Manhattan. FHSU went 11-11 that year. KSU went 9-20. Chaminade has won 8 times against D1 teams in the Maui Invitational, including (ahem) beating Texas, along with Providence, Oklahoma, Stanford and Villanova. They also beat ranked Louisville teams twice, although that was a long time ago. Augustana beat Iowa in 2015. The former won the D2 title, but Iowa made the round of 32. Point Loma beat the shit out of Pepperdine a few years back. Barry beat Auburn in 2017. Grand Valley State beat #8 Michigan State in 2007. It happens.
