  1. SIAP. Any speculation on the polls this week? I expect to -- at the very least -- jump Tennessee and move up 2 spots. Does Alabama drop to 11?
  2. Evan Stewart is the only thing in Evan Stewart's path to being extraordinary. Texas would be the perfect fit for him, just not vice versa. But, Herbstreit told me that was only because Miller hasn't learned he can't bounce outside and outrun lesser athletes. Nothing - zip - about Crawford taking the right angle and putting his ass on the ground. I don't think Miller took another snap, did he?
  3. I rode out Alicia on the west end of Galveston Island. By the time we got the boats out of the water, on trailers, and headed toward Houston, we were just finishing boarding up and the cops came down the street to tell everyone to hunker down because the roads were impassable. The worst part of the storm itself was a tornado pinballing off of houses as it went up the main canal and listening as it sheared off the northwest corner of our house. The worst part of the entire event was being without electricity for several days until we could get everything secured and get back across the causeway. The idea of being without electricity is the only reason I evacuated for Rita. But 12 hours to Dallas provided plenty of fodder to argue against evacuating the next time.
  4. I can't recall the last time I felt as stupid as I did after I realized what was going on. This was well after the SECOND time I got up and went outside to check my truck during the game.
  5. Love hearing all the noise for the Astros at "Minute Maid North." Oh wait, we won. Scratch that.
  6. It’s all ball bearings these days
  7. How about those Tigers! Hull City 1 Leicester City 0
  8. I was at both. I recommend both Laramie and the handjob at the Sun Bowl.
  9. Ewers is also as elusive as COVID (no CR). He scrambles like a cow on ice.
  10. Shoot it Houston Texas! Go Astros!
  11. Texas and Longhorn Network were just convenient excuses.
  12. I'd take it one step further and have "SEC" logos on the field and on the jerseys when Tech and our regarded commissioner show up on Thanksgiving to have a turkey leg shoved up their collective asses.
  13. I wish we were playing there and employing the "us against the world" strategery. Knowing MLB and their shit-tastic rulemaking and enforcement, I'd be willing to bet that, if your numbers are correct, after Rule 1 eliminates Houston, the Rangers are left to argue that Rule 2 is moot, and Seattle to argue that Rule 2 would then apply as the tiebreaker, which would currently give the division to Seattle. Is Rule 2 the tiebreaker for a two-way tie?
  14. You feta believe it's funny! What's a Mató with you?
  15. Jordan Ross committed to Tennessee? Oh well. Easy come, asiago.
  16. Houston Lee was renamed "Margaret Wisdom" after a longtime teacher and yearbook advisor that was very popular. They originally changed the mascot to "Wizards," but it appears they changed it back to "Generals" when they moved into the school building HISD built next door.
  17. what's up with all the empty sections in the upper deck behind the goal? Is Anfield under construction? That red card was bullshit
  18. Enable "Safe Search" on your phone?
  19. ...and bat 13th
  20. No one on the right will object because they've been dog whistled with the liberal media mantra for decades now. Further, right-wing media, which is now the predominant tilt of radio and television since the abolishment of the Fairness Doctrine, will gleefully cheer alongside the "own the libs" mob and extol the virtues of unfettered law enforcement. I worked in television media for 10 years and found the newsroom, like most workplaces, to be a fairly accurate representation of society. We had Bush fanboys, people that detested Ken Starr, and most that simply wanted their Disney stock to go up. The irony for right-wing media is that when they are done owning the libs and the liberal media, they'll come for all the news outlets. Regardless. Then there will be no "news," only what those in this country who are more interested in having power than promoting democracy and a free press want us to hear.
  21. It's a mental handicap that begins when Dusty sits down to fill out the lineup card and the attitude that a player should get the day off because the team has already won the series, instead of just going for the kill shot. The notable exception is Maldanado, who plays regardless.
  22. This post needs more love. Now do Chas McCormick Scattershooting, what is it about “King Tuck” that motivates fans to wear crowns and not Egyptian headpieces? When was the last time one MLB team beat another team three times in a row by the same score? Whatever became of that shittastic hunk of “art” that rose behind the outfield fence during the inaugural season of Miami’s ballpark?
