  1. 100% yes. No team has ever subverted their own home-field advantage like we do. We win home games *despite* the non-stop effort of the jumbotron to distract and silence the home crowd. We do sooooooooo much dumb shit to take 200,000 eyes off the field, and tranform the audience into passive consumers watching fucking commercials during a game. It's awful. I cannot count how many times we're in a 1-score game in the 4th quarter, and trying to get a critical 3rd-down stop on defense... so we BLAST a lip-sync contest or a Foot Locker "follow the hidden ball" dumb shit, or we try to make "who wants a t-shirt" happen. It's just monumentally stupid. Idiocracy stupid. All these silly songs intended to be funny, like playing "Don't Do Me Like That" after a penalty against us... it's so cringey. It would be cringey if a junior college did it in 2002... but for UT to do it in 2025.... Ugh. Fortunately the place was so incredibly rocking on Friday, even the jumbotron was unable to spoil the party (like it often does). Call me, CDC. We can fix it.
  2. Now you're completely moving the goalposts. This is 100% different argument than your last statement, which was objectively wrong.
  3. That's like saying the deep fly balls your team caught on the warning track hurt you just as bad as the homers you gave up. They didn't. They just didn't.
  4. LSU's best chance might be three Hail Marys.
  5. Has a team ever been this awful, yet still ranked in the top-8 post-Thanksgiving? I've never seen anything like it. All they've gotta do is beat the team that had to survive an onsides kick vs the mighty Hilltoppers last week, and I'm not sure they can do it. And just as I'm typing that, Mateer damn near throws another one...
  6. To score, you have to 1 Have the ball 2 In the end zone There's some exception for goal-line-extended +/- touching the pylon, but those rules are irrelevant here. He was juggling the ball. By the time he regained control, he was already out of bounds. That's a fumble, not a TD. And I'm rooting for them, but it's a terrible call.
  7. Wow. Thats the wrong call.
  8. Touchback?
  9. Never rooted for Ohio State in my life. Feels gross. Plus I have this weird desire to burn furniture.
  10. I'm generally a "take the points" guy, but I'm not sure about that one. 4th and 4, and it's looking like you're gonna need 30-35 points to win this thing...
  11. ESPN trying to be careful with its camera angles so as not to make it overly obvious to the TV audience that KU's own fans didn't bother to show up. Of course, I'm only watching because I'm one of those who is clinging to the teeny bit of hope that enough teams in front of us will lose this weekend that the door to the playoffs doesn't slam shut before we even take the field today. Also, my limited interaction with Utah fans is that they wildly overestimate their (low) place in the college football hierarchy. So fuck them.
  12. About 20 years ago, on a summertime family vacation, my niece (young guitarist and songwriter) asked me what I thought about Elixirs. "I think they sound pretty mediocre for a very long time. If I were recording my masterpiece, I'd definitely use something else." She said nothing. I later learned that weeks before she had emptied all her savings to record her first record. Me and my f*cking mouth, man...
  13. My wife and I were at that show. We were trying to remember what year it was. It was a magnificent show. Just brilliant. Snider's between-song banter was funnier than most stand-up comedians, and the songs were brilliant. Many of those songs are among his all-time classics now, but at the time, I think a lot of them were fairly fresh.
  14. Admittedly, that's pretty cringey. But a lot less cringey than the previous decade of spandex, hairspray, and eye liner. If that's 1990, you gotta at least give them props for not looking like Warrant.
  15. Yeah, I've seen the Beato clip. It's a great song... probably in my top-5 for the decade.
  16. That's a bad rule. If team A goes 2-0 vs B and C, and B and C did't play each other.... it wouldn't actually matter because the very best either of them could be is 1-1.
  17. This is the best use of AI I've ever seen.
  18. They're great amps. You wouldn't regret it.
  19. I also once sold an Orange 4x12 cabinet (on wheels) in order to "downsize" to a 2x12 (handles only on sides, and quite a lift). I'm not a smart man.
  20. I bought one of those 1-speaker AC30, and it only weighed 78744585 lbs. Wasn't a very good trade-off, obviously (which is probably why they only made them briefly).
  21. Man, you gotta love Westbrook. He was pretty skinny... not a ton of muscle on his arms and legs. I bet he was less than 180. And he would PUNISH guys 30-40 pounds heavier than him... like Kinder and Greg McElroy. Fantastic cover corner too. You just never see that combo. You have cover corners and then you have 200+ pound safeties who can hit. Not both.
