  1. Wasn't sure which thread this goes in... sorry if already posted.
  2. Very nice. Thanks for sharing that.
  3. You know, I haven't really put my finger on exactly why I hate Purdue so much... But maybe that's it. I remember Keady being SUCH a crybaby bitch after that game.
  4. Can you imagine how hard Virginia fans are rooting for FDU?
  5. Of course Purdue has a white guy who hooks the other guy's arm and then flops around and cries for a foul.
  6. What? This announcer thinks you should only use a timeout if the arrow favors the other team? Weird comment.
  7. Still better looking than Gene Keady.
  8. FDU needs to start using all of the shot clock.
  9. I mean, that was a foul on Cunningham, but there's just been an enormous disparity in foul calls when the guy with the ball gets shoved.
  10. Yeah, I can't remember seeing a team with less confidence down the stretch. They looked terrified.
  11. https://www.tmz.com/2023/03/16/def-leppard-drummer-rick-allen-attack-florida/
  12. I'm in the still-can't-fucking-believe-it camp with y'all. He's on YouTube telling an interviewer that he's never asked God for forgiveness, he mocked a disabled reporter, he called actual flag-waving Nazis "very fine people," he paid hush money to a pornstar with campaign funds (a crime for which his lawyer went to jail), and he invited his followers to DC and directed them to overthrow American democracy. And people who claim to be patriotic Christians are just lined up to vote for him again. I mean... I've had to reconsider a whole lot of things that I thought I understood. I chalk most of it up to right-wing propaganda that these people absolutely cannot distinguish from news.
  13. I'm impressed that he can throw a baseball with his little high-heels on.
  14. Ha. I'm not totally down with this opinion - I think he's got a few really good songs - but those Parrotheads... ugh. I have long held that with regards to the Grateful Dead, Jimmy Buffet, and Jesus - I'm down with the artist, but the followers are fucking insufferable.
  15. Dwight Schrute drove a 1980's Trans Am. He would have been a HUGE Rush fan, fwiw.
  16. Yeah, I think we spent a ton of effort while Kansas coasted. I'm not sure that automatically favors Kansas though. Maybe some of that grittiness and effort spills into tomorrow.
  17. A million kudos for not using "disinterested" here.
  18. God, I hope that the Texags politics forum participants aren't a representative sample of their graduates. Because a lot of their threads - threads that feel like CONSENSUS opinions over there - it's unimaginable to me that they could be written by people who went to school past the 8th grade. Or by people who have ever had a single friend or family from a marginalized group who they loved, and whose humanity they recognized and were willing to defend.
  19. I've been to a few concerts where I look around at all the grey hair and bald heads, and I think, "Please God, don't let this be my demographic." Most recently that was at Springsteen. But even more depressing than that is the rare moment where I'm traveling somewhere in Texas, and I decide to scroll the radio dial and try to find a Texas basketball broadcast, and then I pass a "classic rock" station. And hey! What do you know? They're playing the SAME FUCKING 30 SONGS THAT THEY'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR 45 YEARS... with the only difference being that they've slapped a brick wall limiter on those songs, so even if I wanted to crank them up, they would be utterly unlistenable. I have a coworker who I really like, and sometimes when we're at work he'll stream some classic rock on Spotify, which seems like getting a McLaren supercar and then towing it with your horse and buggy.
  20. Ha ha. Never in history has an artist offered a more accurate self-assessment: edit: the fact that he's sporting half a can of hairspray, and wearing sunglasses indoors in his nouveau riche home just kind of makes this a *chef's kiss* perfect interview.
