  1. Call the waaambulance. This is nothing new in college football. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/20918212/visiting-locker-rooms-college-football-nice-reason I am sure that the locker room was not nice; maybe it does or does not have AC. I guess your offense did not use the locker room? Considering LSU's library is in poor condition, but just spent $28M on their locker room, are you sure that LSU even has AC in the visitors' locker room? If it does, can LSU afford to keep AC running or in operable condition? https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_116f4336-acd2-11e9-9b43-43677be4c82c.html https://www.thenewsstar.com/story/news/2019/07/23/la-s-college-campuses-crumble-lsu-locker-room-gets-28-m-makeover/1802916001/ https://www.insider.com/lsu-spent-28-million-on-a-locker-room-and-students-arent-happy Just admit your defensive players are either unconditioned pussies, or your team uses unethical/unsportsmanlike tactics to slow down play.
  2. Username checks out
  3. Totally with you on 1-3, especially 2. But, come on, 4? He was busy selling cuhSEEtuhs.
  4. Straight up. He hiked the ball to Jesus, raised his arms and staff and the whole center of the field opened up. Peter could tote the rock right up the middle at will. Jesus killed it with the RPO.
  5. We volunteered at some Duke football games a few years back as a fundraiser for our kid's HS band. The long-time workers were still talking about when Bama came to Duke a few years before that. I think it was 2010? Would be interesting to see their reaction to a visit from Texas. Yes, you are in the land of the round ball now. As you quest for brisket in the Triangle, do NOT go to The Pit Authentic Barbecue in downtown Raleigh. I have given them two chances. Both times I got overpriced, under-portioned slices of rubbery, flavorless meat. The best (not saying much) brisket I have had here is at the original Q Shack in Durham. I believe the owner is at least from Texas.
  6. Bama is playing Duke in ATL. The ECU @ NCSU game in Raleigh might be interesting for lunchtime.
  7. Geez, that skull is a little nazi-esque. Well, adidas is a German company and this September will mark the 80th anniversary of the blitzkrieg in Poland kicking off WWII. Coincidentally, it also marks A$M’s one and only national championship.
  8. If you are ever president. Make sure all kids learn. How to properly form a sentence. Holy solecistic construction, Batman!
  9. I don't know, man. Since the redesign, I think Pilot owners are just driving a minivan with swingout doors instead of sliders.
  10. I would say no, you are not correct. I have the DTV Now and ESPN+. I think I was able to stream LHN through the ESPN app with just my DTV Now subscription. I added ESPN+ to get some of the original and on-demand programming that ESPN moved to ESPN+. If you subscribe to ESPN+, I think you should have no trouble streaming any* of their content. *May be subject to blackout rules based on location/billing address
  11. You probably need to adjust the digital audio output on your devices to PCM. What models are all your tuners/streaming devices, TV and soundbar?
  12. October 18 in theaters http://www.foxsearchlight.com/post/4333/jojo-rabbit-in-theaters-october-18-2019/
  13. Adrian "bAD"* Peterson? *broke All-Day
  14. This looks interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTqd4yNFuSw http://www.foxsearchlight.com/jojorabbit/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jojo_Rabbit Just very first impression from the trailer gave me a Moonrise Kingdom/Inglourious Basterds impression. Count me in for this one.
  15. I just noticed blowU Superfan John Slate gives an OU salute with his head and neck: His head forms the O and the fat roll of his neck forms the U. He is the perfect Sooner fan. Howver, now that I think about it, he also has an upside down OU working with his round belly and arms held down. Ha. He is simultaneously giving the horns down and a downward OU.
  16. Was it 2009 or 2010 that Trump accepted Christ and became a Republican? Is that when he saw the error of his ways and disassociated himself from Epstein, the Clintons, and stopped living a hedonistic lifestyle?
  17. Yep, when a family is living paycheck to paycheck, which are they going to buy: Lettuce $2-3 Tomatoes $1.29/lb Chicken Breast $1.99/lb or Loaf white bread $0.69 Jar peanut butter $2 Bag of Chips $0.99 And I've got to wash and cut those veggies plus cook the chicken and clean the dishes? That fresh food is gonna spoil quicker, too, and my kids don't like it. I'm too tired from working my 2-3 jobs/part time jobs. Ain't nobody got time for that! Subsidies are going to the wrong foods and producers
  18. WRT A&M SaberSlinger: https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/smu-cheerleader-texas-aandm-cadet-7101684 The article ends on this note:
  19. If you're that concerned, why didn't you send out the PhlegmSignal (TM): "Texas Aggie" Now he ought to be here any minute to chastise me for spelling aggy Aggie and omitting the A$M.
  20. FRANtastic! Haha, Jolly didn't quit though, did he?
  21. That seems to be a good deal on the VZW network. I wonder if they will let users keep the plan if they have no plan changes after the "limited time offer" expires? This is correct. Although, we have never noticed a real difference. AS I mentioned above we routinely stream video from the major streaming services with no problems except as noted above at the FCS football stadium in a rural area.
  22. This motivated me to share my story on long story phones. As I mentioned, I had been a long time Sprint customer. With the lack of deals on phones that they were doing at the time I was ready to switch, I started looking at ATT & Verizon. I decided if I was going to pay Sprint's going rates at the time with no phone deal any better than VZW or ATT, I wanted to get better coverage. Thus I tested our unlocked iPhone 6 phones on Cricket to test ATT. I loiked it, but still heard that Verizon was best. In the meantime, I had seen an ad for a T-mobile offer called "Get Out of the Red" where they were offering to pay up to $650 per line for people willing to switch from Verizon. The catch was that you had to have been a Verizon customer for 60 days. Since I wanted to test each network, I went ahead and purchased 4 iPhone 8+ from Verizon while they had a buy one-get one promotion on an installment plan using monthly credits. I stayed with them for my 60 days and switched under the promotion to go ahead and give TMO a chance. I immediately sent in my authorizations for the $650 credit per line. I think all in, the rebate for $2600 on a Mastercard debit card came in at about 40 days. This was just in time for my final bill from VZW. I paid off my phones. I used TMO for 2 months and decided it was not for us. So, after giving each major network a 2 month run, we decided that the ATT network was best for us where we lived and roamed to most often. I've now been on Cricket for almost two years with no complaints. Now for the bad: The 4 unlimited lines for $100 plan is technically throttled at 3Mb/s and videos are typically shown at 480p rates. On a phone, I have not noticed a problem with video quality even if I use AirPlay to our Apple TV 4th gen. Note that I still have a 1080 p TV and no 4k Apple TV. I have seen rates occasionally up to 10-15 Mb/s. Cricket does, or at least used to, offer a plan with higher speeds. I think it was a whopping $160 for 4 lines. We decided that the "slower" plan worked for us. I have been able to watch games streaming on WatchESPN while we were at HS marching band competitions in NC, Atlanta and Indianapolis. Now that my youngest is in a college marching band/dance line, I have had trouble streaming at her Div IA school football games in rural Alabama with attendance of about 12,000. However, when I carried a VZW phone for work I had the same issues to some extent. I think there it is just a lack of network build out for all the carriers. I am sure as a CW customer, I get less priority than a full-fledged ATT customer. BOth of my daughters are heavy users. The youngest has gone over 22gb in a month twice, but said she did not notice a significant drop off. She was able to still watch videos on the phone and cast to the TV. The phone was her primary television device rather than cable or satellite. We all also routinely stream Netflix, DirecTV Now, Hulu and/or Amazon Prime Video while on road trips.
