  1. I always liked the yo-yo up the stairs metaphor. It’s not as low as it has been, but it is as low as it has ever been for this part of the staircase. There’s never a guarantee that the yo-yo will come back up. It’s our job to make sure it comes back up. It feels like it is about to snap off the string and tumble back to the bottom, right now, but society needs to band together and yank that hand up one more time.
  2. It’s about to be Con Law season and being able to sit in those classes and listen to the prof try to maintain control of the class might be worth the price of admission.
  3. That would be worst case scenario for SATX/ATX. A storm taking that angle would just drag all the remaining moisture out of us and leave us with an even hotter and drier forecast.
  4. I wholeheartedly disagree with this statement. Plenty of evidence of unfettered courage in those towers. Their selfless sacrifices solidified the expectation that all firefighters and police should have the mentality of laying down their lives to save others. Anyone not willing to do so should find a different line of work.
  5. Pretty similar looking pitch just called a ball right after, too. Shame.
  6. That wasn’t a strike. That kind of day.
  7. This next half inning is the game. If we can get out of it without taking on any more water, there’s still hope.
  8. Plate discipline has absolutely eroded.
  9. This shit ain’t free, y’all. You’re going to have to get a little stressed to enjoy the glory of sending aggy home from the CWS to extend their winless streak.
  10. If A&M doesn’t start warming up their bullpen soon, the 3rd inning is going to explode.
  11. I’ll take that inning. Made the pitcher work hard and put one on the board. He’ll really start to fray in the 3rd.
  12. In 15 minutes you guys will be passed out drunk, so I'll just sum it up this way as fast as I can that this is the most humiliating thread in the last fucking 10 years that I've been involved with on Longhorn message boards. How the fuck can you be worried about playing Texas A&M?! How can you do that? What the fuck is that about?!
  13. Or Pence because of COVID. Or Gore because of heart issues. I think Obama is the last president since maybe Carter that didn’t have a near death experience while in office.
  14. This political jousting with our energy security is exhausting, pointless, and dangerous. We need both. We need both to work well. We need both to be reliable. We need to be open to maximizing the efficiencies of both. We need to work on minimizing the environmental impact of both. Both. Not one or the other. This isn't a winner take all cage match. For energy security and stability, we need both.
  15. Sounds like it is circling back and getting the rest of those who didn't get it. Lot of first timers in my circle.
  16. Hard to make a case to shut-in at $7.
  17. Only suckers pay for cable.
  18. This being on ESPNU is horseshit. Totally screws out the fans who don’t sub to their total package. They could either bump sportscenter or bury the Texas game. Nobody watches sportscenter anymore, anyways.
  19. If we're talking the 2009 BC game, I was in the second row behind home team dugout struggling because I showed up just in time for first pitch after floating the Comal twice. Went from drunk to hungover well inside of Austin Wood's no-hitter, but the hangover cleared when we got out of the inning even though his no-hitter was broken up. Spent the rest of the night slamming water and made it all the way to the win. Pretty sure I'd die if I tried that now. Youth is wasted on the young.
  20. Sports in North Carolina in June seems like they suck.
  21. OU advances and is slated to face aggy. Break out the Team Meteor shirts.
  22. It’s the response from a fan of a school with no traditions or history. The Eyes means something because they have bookended some of the most historic sporting events in college sports history. Can’t expect someone from ECU to understand that.
  23. Fixed that for Surly. What was once one of the best features of this community became its worst with a bunch of one liner dipshits trying to one-up each other on hyperbole and stupid takes. No relevant analysis, insight, or even a basic, coherent opinion on any game.
