I'm just on episode 3 and I'm already frustrated, but it's still entertaining. All the mixed reviews here are just about right... What's her hillbilly face extorting that old man for his business was pretty silly, as was his reaction, like they really needed to build that up for a 3 minute-shot climax. The FBI agent is also annoying as hell, what a trope. Just copy/paste scenes with the FBI dude from 'The Shape of Water' and call it a day, we already know his character.

The last two really hit hard. I didn't expect the second to last episode. A cartoon horse really had me feeling tense as shit watching him go through his choking thing on set, that's how I know it's great writing. I honestly didn't know whether I should be feeling bad for him at that moment but I did, bc he was f'ing everything up finally. I liked how they wrapped everything up this season. Not everybody got a nice little bow on their story (i.e. Mr PB), but everybody did get themselves into something or out of something to finish the season.

That Jan Levinson is a real firecracker.

I've been re-watching over the past few months and finally got to the seasons where Michael moves away and Andy becomes manager. What a terrible decision. Andy was always wack as shit and they decided to make him a focal point. Right about the time they decided to make Kevin a joke. He was always a bit slower but was still cool, then they turned him into a drooling idiot around the time Andy took over. Seasons 1-6 are still great overall. Creed is a very underrated character, he says some outlandish shit. And on 2nd watch Erin (receptionist after Pam) is pretty damn funny too, everything she does as a character is humorous.

What an aggy.

They gave Mr. Peanut Butter a little depth! I had always noticed how they kinda skated over the fact he has so many ex-wives, but to give that some screen time was interesting. I love me some Mr. PB. Funny guy.

I just finished a rec league basketball season at NW rec. You don't remember what scenes they filmed around there?

This is fucking great dude, thanks. I feel like a genius when I saw our guys line up with 6 guys on the line and Patterson trotted out 5 in the box and I'm screaming "PLEASE run the ball, we have them outmanned" and we ran inside zone one out of two times I saw it, and it was for a decent gain. This blows that shit out of the water. If you're seeing this shit live I'm assuming you've done some serious studying on the issues.

I mean Top Notch is down the street. Jalapeno burgers and soggy fries aren't going to eat themselves.

Just getting around to watching the offensive highlights from the USC game, and I am impressed with this O-line. They dominated pretty much from snap 1 versus a 4-man pass rush, and handled most blitzes and stunts well. They seem sound. Most of the linemen seem to handle stunts/loops seamlessly, and the blitzes are picked up conventionally (linemen handle inside and let the RB handle whichever defender is coming off the outermost edge) with the RB like they've been doing it for years. Sam had plenty of clean pockets to throw from, and showed some ability to hold onto the ball just long enough, even against blitzes. He missed some throws but also threw some darts when they gave him time. The run blocking isn't as impressive, but isn't bad at all. They seem to combo block well and most of them get off of the combo and onto a linebacker quickly. There's still some lead feet (from Vahe especially) that leads to D-linemen shedding rather easily if they have strong arms, but otherwise solid. An underrated part of the run blocking so far has been Andrew Beck too, he is put in many different positions and angles and is hitting people in all of them. I can see what we missed last year when he got hurt, they really ask a lot of the TE from this offense and he has been fearless. Probably my favorite player to watch in this video. Tre Watson is better than I expected. Anderson is solid, and about as good as I expected, not as strong was Connor was but very fundamentally sound.

Don't believe that backstory, but that was a good beat-down. Every video I see of a stadium fight with a guy in a lower row taking a swing at someone above him pisses me off. My first thought is always to yank the fucker down, get his bearings off, then beat his ass. This is a fight, rules be damned, kick his ass.

Finally watched 11 rounds yesterday (that's all I found on YT). I had Rounds 1,4,8, 10, 11 for GGG and 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 for Canelo. Round 6 was my tightest swing round, I couldn't call it, and I hear 12 was mostly GGG, but I didn't see it. That's pretty f'n even. If Canelo gets round 6 and GGG round 12 that's a draw on my book. I really hope Canelo gets his love when he's done. I already know GGG is the people's champ and will be revered, because he's revered now, but Canelo in the 5th round (after a huge 4th from GGG) coming on and stalking GGG, walking him down, is something I've never seen before. You don't stalk GGG, you go and "be a good boy" and go to sleep, supposedly. Round 11 was pretty great too, GGG starts throwing 3-4 punch combinations, starts getting some momentum and then Canelo revs up his engine and slows GGG back down. What a great matchup.

I just watched episode three and thought it was great actually. All of it. One was ok, Diane's episode was cool but overall depressing. Ep. 3 hits some storyline notes but is just full of wittiness and one-liners.

I was in school 10 years ago and I loved that I arrived to my only TX-OU experience at the Cotton Bowl to hear that for the first time. It was great. Had no idea we did that until I was in the Cotton Bowl. It is pretty lame to hear it otherwise.

This. I've been saying to anybody who will listen that neither Hager nor Omenihu are even close to the level that our best DE's were on. (Post-Rose Bowl NC) Orakpo>Kindle>Jeffcoat/Okafor>... probably one or two more...>Hager/Omenihu. These guys aren't close to those All Big-12 players.

Or he could just read the first two pages, where that exact point is discussed pretty openly on this thread on a few posts.... Edit: Shit there's another example right above this post. I've heard a lot of racism from my extended family in the RGV. There's a special mix of being ignorant to any other people other than Brown/White down there, while also feeling the need to distinguish between "American" and Immigrant. Luckily my parents have always been good about that, but my sister's family lets the n-bombs and "wetbacks" flow freely over the holidays. Some people need someone else to shit on, or they'd have to realize they and their families aren't shit outside of their own little bubble.

Glad Porter won. Always liked him. Garcia has been coddled his entire career but there's only so long before you have to fight a live one, and he's lost the two most important fights of his career. He'll fight Berto or Broner or someone to make some money for as long as possible. It seems like Garcia/Spence might happen even before Porter/Spence. Both fighters want it, Mikey is being vocal about it. Although I don't think it's a good matchup, calling it a "suicide" mission is kind of over the top (not just here but I've seen it called similar on other sites). I wouldn't pick Mikey, but he's way too damn good to go out there and get obliterated by Spence. Spence isn't going to put his lights out or cripple him, if anything he will make it a phone-booth fight that wears down Mikey maybe for a late stoppage. I'm thinking like when DLH jumped way too high and challenged Bernard Hopkins. He had the skills to challenge but shouldn't have been in that ring like 3 divisions above where he should have been (especially not with a HOF fighter like B-Hop). The chorus of "nobody wants to see this because Spence is literally going to paralyze Mikey" is growing a bit too loud, lets temper the hysteria and remember that Mikey is a Top 5 fighter in the world right now. It won't be a career-ending loss if he gets stopped by Spence.

I grew up there in the 90s/2000s and I definitely heard it a few times. Guess we cancel each other out.

70s and 80s? The upstanding educated frat "kids" over at OU were singing "there'll never be a n---- S-A-E" chants on the bus like 5 years ago.... and I wouldn't doubt for one second that their peers across Texas share some chants like that in the comfort of their own spaces.

Gilbert has much more sample size than the one or two games of this year, but I caught some of that USF game this Saturday and their QB, Barnett (former Alabama player apparently) looked great. He took over the game in the 4th quarter. He's also 22 years old, and not an injured true freshman that should have been redshirted. Comparing Gilbert's time here to the rest of his career isn't apples-to-apples.

Yeah I really like Sterns and it's clear he's going to be a baller, but that first pick was gift wrapped to him, the ball was under thrown by about 8 yards. Both him and Foster will be fine though. Boyce was targeted for the entire second half. At least Boyd handled his side of the field. Hope Davis (who was targeted last week) and Jones are enough for us to slow down USC next week. Really wish we had a 5th-year senior DB to mitigate some of the problems we are having at CB right now, but alas, our coach who has told us for two years we have a national championship-level O-line is also telling us our DB room is overflowing with talent based on a bunch of guys who have no game experience. We've been beaten deep during our first two games since. Multiple times. Davis and Boyce need to get their confidence back quick because CB is a position that can turn on you on a dime.

We get why you wouldn't care. It's pretty simple actually.

This is assuming they want to experience "Texas" though, and not be amidst the throngs of hipsters and tourists in Generic Millenial City. And this is coming from a resident of the most gentrified part of the city. If I were visiting I'd put it on a different trip though. Maybe a central Texas town trip.

Friday/Saturday nights have gotten unbearable at White Horse. Hipsters/Tourists crowding the dance floor shoulder-to-shoulder, no common sense. Thursday or Sunday would be a blast though.

He emailed the AD about statues on the mall?
