  1. DMO ftw .
  2. I do think that the experience is improving. Fans are showing up, getting louder. The student section is a far cry from a few years ago when they were struggling to put students in the south end bleachers. They have been bringing it. I actually do like some of the corny produced shit like the AC/DC thunderstruck intro on the big screen. Didn't even mind the manufactured Journey moment under the lights. It feels like we're all there together. At the same time, not nearly enough Texas Fight chants over the 2 games I've been, and not nearly enough Longhorn Band. I think the mix can level out juuuuust a bit to get it where we want it. Because 1 Texas fight chant during a home game is not enough.
  3. Pearl. Very solid, really enjoyed. Never been a huge horror fan, but I like the style that Ti West does them in with both 'X' and Pearl. I could do without the constant unsettling imagery, but I get the point. Fun ride.
  4. It didn't "take" NFL caliber plays to beat UTSA, we beat them with the talent we have. I also give a lot of credit to their QB, who started college in 2017 and graduated a year and a half ago. I'm assuming he took an extra COVID year or something because last year he was all conference as a redshirt Sr. It took UTSA having a 23-year old returning super super senior all-conference QB just to keep it within 21.
  5. Yep and it was pissing me off in the first half that we couldn't get to him. That dude was completing every pass on the route tree that is within 20 yards. On the move, doesn't matter, he was on the mark. That Overshown sack was so damn satisfying to finally get til they threw the flag.
  6. Was cool to hear Sturgill to close out an episode for the 2nd time on this show. I just realized this song definitely fit the theme of the episode as well.
  7. Texas - 37 UTSA - 20 UTSA Yards - 305
  8. Was at the fight on Saturday. Was my first time attending any fight live. The place going dark before the Stones started playing, and then they show Nate on the screen a few seconds into the song..... I think I'll get goosebumps forever from that. Felt like the entire damn place was there to see him and him only. Khamzat had a few people in my section standing and cheering as he went full heel at the end, but no doubt Dana knew exactly what he was doing trying to sacrifice Nate, in front of a 90% Nate crowd... Fuck him. Experience was a blast. Felt like a club in there, so much energy, even between fights.
  9. Damn who got Leslie to DJ for a bunch of weirdos? I don't know her, but I've seen her on Rainey, Las Perlas, etc. She's legit.
  10. Damn, I was out of town this weekend and didn't even notice this was his weekend to get inducted. What a huge moment for him, the Spurs, and San Antonio. My favorite memory of him might be the new, old Manu when he had a resurgence in time for the last championship. IIRC he kinda struggled with injuries early in the 2010s a bit, then came back after and took on more of a "crafty" YMCA guy since he lacked a lot of the athleticism he had a decade prior. That might have been my favorite version. Even though old-school Dunking Manu was a good one.
  11. I've been thinking for months about someone's post a while back showing how PKs defenses get significantly more productive in year two. Post-install. Maybe he had Gary showing him how to coach for all his previous stops too though. /s Give the guy some credit. Also be glad GP is on the sidelines. What a lucky bounce our way with that
  12. I really liked it. Just a bit of background and character building for Chester. Cheese seems to be the glue guy to the group. That role was definitely made for Maron.
  13. Wouldn't be a Surly member if I didn't gripe, so here it is. Daemon has graduated from not being able to beat Sir Cristan in a fair joust in episode one, to a fucking ninja assassin by episode 3. We're not supposed to respect him, or we are? Speaking of respect, he flushes out the crabs by "surrendering" so they obvs 1. send out 4 at a time to get slaughtered one by one. Until a dozen men are dead. And then 2. Send out 50 men to form a respectful 15-foot perimeter around Daemon, to just..... stare at him. Until reinforcements are able to arrive. And 3. the King Crab was all worried about a dragon, but for the millionth time in a GoT episode, that flying 3-ton beast is able to sneak up on his army when he's not looking like a ..... well, a 6-oz crab. Anyways, see y'all on Sunday.
  14. Yeah I saw Jupe as just as much of a character study as the monkey. And his perceived relationship with the monkey was a metaphor for how he viewed his relation to the "ufo" as well.
  15. Just caught the new episode. Shoutout to Amber MidThunder. Cool to see her as a typical Liberal Arts major/student leader after playing such a badass in Prey. That little conference reminded me of a few diversity retreats/seminars I went to in undergrad. The painful icebreakers and activities, the weird/inconsistent messaging, and overall the feeling of "why the hell are we here? We can only change so much, the people that need to hear this aren't here." That old undertone of grief was back too, and pretty strong. Bear and Elora are going through it, bad, and they don't seem to have anywhere to turn.
  16. I'm in my mid-30s, but have had high cholesterol since my teens. I'm a big dude though, like my dad is, so I think it's partly genetics and me just being big. Got my yearly checkup and Doc put me back on Rosuvastatin last week. I stopped taking it for a while, but it did bring down my levels considerably the last time I took it. Guess it's going to be a lifetime thing. I'm fine with it. I think I've accepted that I'm just always going to be dealing with the territory of being 6'3 250+. I lift 4-5x a week and jog 2-3x a week, but it doesn't undo my genetics and also my diet (I enjoy the weekend drinks and food). The doc did suggest a fish oil with the statin. Which I do have, but haven't looked into the difference between that and CoQ10. I thought they were similar.
  17. Interesting that Hutson beat out Campbell at guard. If Campbell is as advertised, Hutson is certainly a steal. Will be more interesting to see what this means about those 3 (including Conner) at guard going forward. Or if one can play Tackle. Definitely saw his name plenty in the offseason posts, just usually don't put too much stock in 9.95 posts until it's really go time.
  18. I thought it was Kelsey Asbille/Chow at first, of Yellowstone, Wind River, Fargo (who I thought was native, she's not)...... I think Mizuno edges her out though. She's smoke.
  19. I liked it, it had a good run there of the last few episodes being really gripping. Then there's some wtf moments, like Bun B as a priest, and the whole ending of Mo deporting himself. But overall it's a cool vibe, like that he showcases lots of the city, and lots of different people in the cast. Feels like the Houston I grew up in.
  20. Tired of Lima being disrespected. He does his job.
  21. Lmao. Shit ass predator don't wanna fight fair; fuuuck.
  22. Liked it! Solid B+ action flick, maayyyybe even bordering to A-. The action scenes were great, really liked the final showdown in the dark woods. Felt just right.
  23. Fun two episodes watching these bunch a shitasses. Interesting undertone of grief and sadness on everyone except Cheese really. Maybe we'll see that soon too though.
  24. Anyways. I talked a lot of shit last season. But I'mma be here for Season 4.
  25. Made an impromptu Saturday night trip to 7 Grand this weekend and splurged on a pour of Widow Jane 10-year..... Had to look it up this morning after bc the bartender suggested it, and it was top-shelf, but my immediate thought was that it's smooth but I couldn't taste shit but a fuckton of wood/barrel. It's very well rated online, so maybe I'm not a man of culture and taste like I thought. Should've stuck to Weller 12 or maybe Eagle Rare for the pour. Also had a cigar going, so maybe that killed any lighter flavors that might've come through.
