  1. Both true because they’re the same thing.
  2. Contrast this with Jimbo referring to players by their jersey number during Saturday’s post game presser.
  3. Watched jimbos post game presser and a reporter mentioned Miami had 140-something yards after the catch. Jimbo responded with the usual coach speak…tackling better, leverage points, cover better, wrapping up. All the same shit we heard when Texas had the same problem. Looking back, there was never an easy in season fix, and the issues were more talent, scheme, coaching and culture, all things that required multiple seasons and coaching changes to address. Fucking glorious to see Aggie having the same issues.
  4. Really pulling for you, Mac. At the risk of showing my ignorance or pointing out an obvious thing you’ve already done, are there recruiters you can reach out to who can asses to what areas your skill set will translate and push you for jobs in those areas? Also, do you know if the greater Houston partnership has any job search functions or events/mixers? I know some folks who used to work there and can reach out to them if you’re interested.
  5. In the very good but not great chorus. I read Strauss's wiki this morning after seeing the movie last night and think the movie would have been better served by exploring him more. There were references to his past (son of a lowly shoe salesman) but there was a richness and depth to the character that the movie ignored: He didn't go to college; was set to graduate at the top of his high school class, which would have gotten him a free ride, but he got sick and didn't graduate with his class; after he graduated he worked for a few years to save money for college then moved to Europe to serve in the rebuilding after WWI, while there he was offered a job at an investment bank where he made a shit ton of money; he was an active jew and may have resented that Oppenheimer was not a practicing jew; and he was strongly against the sharing of any nuclear technology with our allies.

    Getting old sucks

    How old are you?
  7. And also, no one really gives a fuck about a&m. They’ll raise their profile every few years (johnnys heisman, poaching jimbo, the 2022 recruiting class) but they’re just as often laughed at (5-7, jimbos contract, kyler and kyle transferring in the same off season). Ultimately, they only matter to the extent they provide fodder for the national cfb media.
  8. I'd never heard about him until this thread, but did some googling and found an old interview with him. I think George Costanza was channeling this guy when he told Jerry, "just remember, it's not a lie...if you believe it." https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc983406/m1/
  9. That sounds like a potentially and vague bullshit answer. How long with the investigation take place, and what did he mean by getting back to you ASAP (the end of the day or the end of the week)? What will the investigation entail, and is there a district wide procedure for how such incidents are handled or is the principal winging it? Will the coach be suspended/removed from campus during the investigation? Absent him immediately removing the coach from the school, I would contact the superintendent. I would also be concerned about him badmouthing your daughter to her classmates, if he's allowed to remain on campus, and is in fact a groomer.
  10. Did the principal commit to any course of action or outline what the next steps would be, ie will the coach immediately be removed from the campus?
  11. Just post your real name so we can all leave you a positive review to balance out the bad one.
  12. Got a date tonight. Any recs for a nice Asian restaurant in the loop? Grew up in Houston but live in Austin and not super familiar with good date spots. I’m 47 and she’s 29, so looking for something fun but chill. From reading the thread, Mala Sichuan seems like a good choice. Be good to have other restaurants or bars nearby that we can go to after dinner.
  13. Or a random shit I saw on reddit sub-forum
  14. There’s a ton of musical instrument headphone amps that have inputs for the instrument and an aux input. Is Bluetooth a requirement?
  15. You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know…morons.
  16. They’ve got no leverage and aren’t forcing Jimbo to do shit except collect a paycheck.
  17. Anyone have a presale code for acl nights?
  18. Of course these are trumped up bullshit charges, but Putin would use any other American caught with a THC vape pen as a political tool. So yeah, she's being treated like anyone else; anyone else defined as any other high profile American caught in Russia with drugs right before the country became a Western pariah.
  19. I use a spoonk, which is a knockoff I got on Amazon. It’s not a cure all for lower back pain but it helps. I credit the endorphin rush and increased blood flow. Not sure if the spikes are sharper on the shakti vs spoonk, but it usually stops hurting after a minute or two.
  20. He’s also on cameo. We could have some fun with that. (See Johnny Knoxville pranking Steve-O via cameo.)
  21. Yo, Chad Fuck, just because you want them to be hair metal doesn't mean they're hair metal. Granted Axle Rose could work a can of Aquanet, but they didn't wear makeup on the regs and weren't a bunch of pretty boys. Hair metal was the bubblegum pop of 80s metal, and GnR had an edge that was anything but bubblegum.

  23. I’ve got shimano xt shifters and the ergonomics and shifting are way way better than the equivalent sram shifters on the bikes I demo’d. YMMV. and fuck all that bs about deserving nice parts. Nice bikes are nice to ride and nicer bikes are even nicer to ride.
  24. Didn't make it to that show but mohawk's got some talkers. Lots of scenesters there. Saw the war on drugs on Thursday. I've seen them a ton of times, and can't help but thinking they're our generation's adult contemporary/soft rock.
