  1. It was a great choice. Whoever is making decisions for him is making good ones. He gets to say he fought a "professional". Technically. I guess. Hope Askren can take him to deeper waters and punish his ass with those stupid punches he throws though.
  2. Interesting reactions. I generally like The Weeknd, been a fan of his since about 2012 when he dropped his mixtapes without revealing his identity. Surprisingly, I agree that his charisma is about as high now as it was then (with literally no identity) But his music hits some notes that there aren't much of in today's music. He can do the R&B thing, heavy on the synth-beats and loops (which I'd assume catches some EDM crowd), and then recently added unashamed pop music to his repertoire to catch the youngs. It's probably better than he doesn't have much charisma/personality though, he's literally made a career singing about cocaine, partying, strippers, cheating on girlfriends, and doing cocaine at parties with the strippers that he's cheating on his girlfriends with. The performance was ok. I can't stand the medleys though, one verse from each song that I can't imagine would make anybody a fan. You can hardly get a vibe from any of them. Otherwise I've seen reactions that he needed a stage, that the stage-less design was cool since he used the field, and now that he didn't use enough of the field. Can't please everyone.
  3. Fuck, man. Ferreira lives/trains out of the RGV, was hoping for this win for him. They both showed out though. Both can do a bit of everything well, but I'm not sure they're the polished strikers that can compete against the Top 5 guys. Dariush vs. Hooker would set my pee pee on fire.
  4. Ain't got but a few hundred in an online savings account (a few bucks a week), but it seems like this would be the way to go instead of the .40% interest route. I'm in, later Barclays.
  5. Both DJM and Keldon are shooting 25% from 3 in the last 10 games. Everyone seemingly started off hot the first month of the season, no we're seeing some regression to the mean. They gotta wind up in the high 30s for this team to have a shot on offense.
  6. This team can be so fun to watch, they just don't bring it every night. Bad Patty, old LaMarcus, ho-hum DeMar. The young guys bring it, even if they're not quite ready to be getting tons of looks every game, they play hard. Anyways, tonight is fun. Let's keep fighting.
  7. Because we don't have enough money for other people to touch ourselves at night.
  8. Nothing against you bc obvs I don't know you, but I can't stand this type of talk from Conor fans. What era of Conor are we referring to when people say stuff like "when Conor is hungry" or "in the zone"? When he was beating up 145 pounders? Bc since then he's only beaten Eddie Alvarez (not in ufc anymore), and an old as shit Cowboy Cerrone. I guess we count the split decision against Diaz in the 2nd fight. He's not the big shot guy he thinks he is at 155, and it's a shame Dana let him get here without having to fight Oliveira, Gaethje, or even Poirier until last night. He beat Cowboy and then showed up at the top again. It's BS.
  9. That counter seemed like it was coming since about the first 30 seconds. Every time Ponzinibbio tried to commit to a punch, Li was throwing a hard counter, and fast. Looked like he had wayyyy better timing in there, and it paid off.
  10. For the past 30 minutes I've been able to hear a chopper circling the Capitol from my front porch on the East side. They are indeed not fucking around. According to twitter there's not much more than a handful of armed clowns out there now though? Still is weird to hear the chopper and know why it's been circling. Could also be media though, who knows.
  11. Tested positive after the new year, got it probably right around New Year's eve in the valley. Ending my quarantine, per CDC guidelines today. Felt first symptoms last Tuesday, Wednesday/Thursday I had a real light fever for a couple hours a day (to where I was warm, but constantly questioning whether I was just making shit up), a couple random body aches where I don't have normal problems (my hip hurt in an area I've never felt before, for one day), but on day 3 until now (day 11) it's basically been like the ending of a cold. Just getting rid of congestion. Ran a couple miles twice this week, feel great. Lucky, went to visit my family in the valley and 3 of them got it too. I was the only addition to the household for the holiday, but luckily I didn't bring it, we got it there. Nobody got really sick, luckily. A few people have asked me if I've gotten a negative test, but I'm going with the CDC on this. 10 days from first symptoms, as long as you've improved and haven't had a fever. The test doesn't measure if you're contagious, it just looks for traces of the virus (active or inactive), so those aren't "false" negatives, they're just not telling you if you're contagious. /rant.

    Midland

    Holy shit, had a hunch about these dudes moving from Cali to Dripping Springs and calling themselves "Midland" (obviously I originally thought they might be from that area). This thread really delivered. Didn't know who to discuss this with. Just found them a couple months ago. Anyway, like a few of their songs, they're definitely catchy, but some of their lines and sounds just kinda make me laugh. I love "drinkin problems" as a song, but can't get over how shitty of a song it is at the same time. The over-the-top twangs and WOWWW-WOWWWWWWWWWWs, the lazy as hell lyrical repeats, but it's so damn catchy and sounds just like something I might have two-stepped slowly to in the 80s. But I guess that's what it's designed to do right? Even a few of the melodies and lyrics sound like they were snippets lifted directly off other country songs I've heard before. Not sure if I'll continue listening to them. I'm a bit of a music hipster and hate the thought of unoriginal shit, whatever. I grew up on about as much late 80s/early 90s George Strait, Clint Black, Mark Chesnutt as my Tejano dad would play me, but don't really claim to be a country fan at all these days. I try to give it a go once in a while. Not sure I'll stick with these dudes.

    Deftones

    Checking in a bit late, but checking in. I didn't join the bandwagon until maybe 5 years ago, only around then did I start getting into deeper rock anyway. Listen to White Pony fairly often, especially while working out. Don't mind the new albums (Ohms), it sounds so much like a continuation of their style, so yeah I agree they are consistent. Interesting that they invited Chvrches to their Dia de los Deftones show (tour?), they don't seem like a natural pairing. I saw them both at a SXSW concert in 2018 I think. It was a show put on by Spin magazine, and Deftones "opened" for Chvrches (as much as anybody really "opens" for anybody at SXSW), I left after a couple of Chvrches songs. Anyway, that show solidified me as a fan. Yeah Chino doesn't sound as great as he does on the albums, but I was genuinely impressed with the energy and his singing at Stubb's. Good show. Rocked hard.
  14. Reminds me of a good tweet a couple months ago, wish I could find it. A bunch of the RGV adults were commenting on that kid from Edinburg that ran over the Ref. "He ruined his team's chance to compete for a State Title!". Some valley girl: "Calm down. He ruined his team's chance to dye their hair blonde and lose 77-6 in the 3rd round to a team from north of San Antonio".
  15. Juuuust thinking about this. Father's family is from Kingsville so I grew up going to as many Javelina games as Longhorns...... and that program hasn't been a major player (DII obvs) since the early 2000s it seems. This definitely can't help.
  16. First time this season I've felt let down by our 3 guards collectively. AJ disappeared in the 2nd half, Ramey committed crucial boneheaded errors with the game on the line, and Coleman was clanging all night, 3/12 is no bueno.
  17. Unlucky for you, the taste buds have been back for about 24 hours, they seem to fade in and out. I'm gonna pick one of the "in" stages and just assume that's my body telling me it's time for whiskey.
  18. Buddy gifted me Maker's Private Select (Jack Allen's selection, 108 proof) this weekend. Had a couple sips, but could barely taste bc COVID. Will be trying again soon, or maybe in months if the senses go that long. Excited for it.
  19. Damn, it really didn't take long to forget about the death and multiple injuries to police. Like what, less than a week? It was just some "light treason", nothing to see here.... I kinda get the point of saying "they weren't going to overthrow the government", like I get that they would have been killed eventually, but I also don't think you fully realize just how far and close they were allowed to get because of the lack of response to them. The way the police were set up, sure they would have eventually been killed, but they would have been killed for either taking hostage or killing those politicians they don't like. I'm not sure you fully understand the gravity of the hate that these folks have towards the "devils" in the government.
  20. I would expect him to handle it well. And since he does, I'd like to add that damn this is some poetic justice. If you've ever seen the podcast he does with his wife (your mom's house), the first hour is usually them just subjecting the audience and/or their guest to gross/gruesome/disturbing/sometimes just plain funny internet videos. His video is literally something Segura would play to a guest and then just stare at their face with a stupid little smirk as he awaits a reaction.
  21. So many damn moves to go to. When DeMar is locked in it's beautiful to watch. Smooth.
  22. Don't let him get another shot off the fucking timeout please. There's only 1 second.
  23. Is that 3 straight buckets off a timeout? Huggins eating Shaka's lunch when it comes to actual coaching. Then again he eats lots of lunches.
  24. Ok man, don't blame me, I only learned enough 70s rock that my Dad could show me, but been slowly revisiting tons of that era that I missed out on because it wasn't his wheelhouse. But damn I just heard this song last week thanks to Spotify, and came back to revisit it tonight in my car, a tiiiny bit baked, and damn it hit hard. Guitar is insane.
  25. I started a rewatch a few months ago and was disappointed in the number of FOX seasons. I forgot there was so few before they got canned. Yeah it definitely doesn't hold up, I gave up on it somewhere almost through the Netflix season. Those original seasons are great though.
