  1. I'm not giving Arch a pass, he was for the most part terrible tonight. I'm just saying that anyone expecting less than chaotic results across P4 football is going to be surprised, repeatedly. We are not exempt.
  2. Did you see #2 Miami get beat by unranked Louisville? Did you see #25 Nebraska get stomped by unranked Minnesota? Did you see #10 LSU get beat by #17 Vandy? Did you see #22 Memphis get beat by unranked UAB? Did you see #7 TTech get beat by unranked Az State? This chaos is a direct result of lack of year-to-year continuity. We are not the only team struggling with it. Be observant, or just continue swinging your purse. We're down, for sure, but most teams are.
  3. lulz. Drink more. Pay attention to what's happening while you're at it.
  4. NIL + portal = no great teams and dozens who can beat each other any given day. Welcome to shitty college football.
  5. He's such a tool. I have fever dreams of running into him on the street and . . . well . . .
  6. Did not play out so well.
  7. Actually, I do. But this thread is for people to post music they wrote or performed.
  8. Kansas? Next up: University of Phoenix
  9. Well, he said "affirmative", so UVa is fucked.
  10. It's also a progressive/liberal hotbed. (People wonder how I grew up with my point of view in MO . . . mom & dad are both Wash U grads, with dad getting all 3 degrees there before we moved to a smaller rural school where he taught engineering.)
  11. It's a 10 hour flight from DC to Moscow. I know I'll regret asking this, but what's the point of a 50-mile tunnel when the flight from DC to Nome alone is 12 hours? I know, I know.
  12. Years ago, I went out on the town with a buddy and a few of his friends, one of whom was a touring comedian. He was essentially a nobody. Nobody could hang with him in terms of any kind of back and forth banter, he was just way too quick and experienced at that. It was pretty eye-opening.
  13. See for instance the delicious "al pastor" spit-roasted dish of Mexico, the predecessor of which was brought by Lebanese immigrants as "doner/shawarma". I celebrate all their catalogs.
  14. I told them I have 2 students on the 40 acres right now. I admitted the older kid is too close to graduation for me to pull the plug (9 hours), but that I am encouraging my son to transfer, particularly since he wants to change majors and extend my largesse.
  15. Now let's extend that viewpoint to food. "Cultural appropriation" is such a fussy, ignorant concern.
  16. Those jalapenos definitely look legit.
  17. I used to have a theory that a great comedian has to have near genius level IQ. I still hold that point of view. She is fucking horrible.
  18. I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about the current comedy scene as you, but guys like Burr and Jeselnik (and previously Ron White) used to be my favorites. Burr can go fuck himself, what a fucking sellout. He didn't need $1.5m, are you kidding? I got pushback on a different thread for saying the same but I encourage everyone to let him and his management know he fucked up big time. I don't need any more sarcastic laughs in my life, asswipe.
  19. RFKJr's "replacement rate" is really "white replacement rate", the source of all this hysteria over the last 40 years. Carry on.
  20. In this world, they absolutely do not. (OK, I admit I don't know much about Arizona.)
  21. Shit. A friend of mine plays in Ace's band. I came to know that guy through totally different channels, but I was an absolute KISS fanatic in middle school. Still one of my favorite bands. Guess I have a phone call to make.
  22. It feels like LSU 2025 is opposite of LSU 2024. I'm not sure how a team flips its "strengths" so quickly.
  23. Yeah, I'm sure the American consumer is gung ho to drive vehicles that get 8 mpg. Imagine a current vehicle that gets 24 mpg, driven 12K miles per year -- that's 500 gallons, or roughly $1500. Bump that to 1500 gallons and we're at $4500, or a $3000 hickey. PER YEAR. Multiplied by probably 2-3 to account for the average household. Yes, please cut the price of the vehicle by say $3000 and then cost me $3000 per year for this "benefit". (Not to mention the price of vehicles won't drop a dime.) These people are so fucking stupid.
  24. It is going to be monumentally embarrassing when the results come back Brown -- deny Dartmouth -- deny MIT -- deny Arizona -- deny Penn -- deny USC -- deny UT -- accept UVa -- deny Vanderbilt -deny When UT accepts, even without an announcement, Trump will shout it from the rooftops.
