Not to interrupt the erudite discussion re Ben Chode, but what time are we getting that sweet sweet commitment today?

This is great and all... but I think I'll wait until BO&W posts it again, 6 posts down, before I get too excited by it.
BO&W 5 minutes from now: Reading on multiple sites that Parker Livingston posted a side face and longhorn emoji

-I remember a long form piece about Manziel and his relationship with his dad. It painted his dad as kind of a pussy who raised an entitled cunt. This doc didn’t change my mind on any of that.
As anyone from Tyler or the Tyler area knows, the Manziels have a long family history of being a scumbag group of people. Johnny is just the latest edition.

Let’s pretend that fight happened in a Texas practice.
From the IT Staff:
Team Notes: You probably heard other sites reporting there was an altercation at practice. We won’t get into details because they shouldn’t be discussed publicly, but let’s just say a kerfuffle took place. As we’ve been telling you for some time, this team has a different fire to it and so fights are to be expected. It’s football. Punishment will be handled internally.
Torre Becton is just a different animal. Ian Boyd will have a brief article on Becton’s approach later this week, but simply put every player has added 20 pounds of muscle and lost 20 pounds of fat. Even the guys from Westlake seem to have turned the corner.
Recruiting: Eric put in an 80% confidence pick on [insert California lineman or position player]. Gerry is less confident at 67.23%. As always our sources are guys who know their stuff so question us at your own peril (but of course this is recruiting and things could change but only if school X cheats in which case we aren’t to blame).

Saw it Friday with my 15-yo son - we both loved it. Tightly knit horror with fantastic acting, especially by the main actress, Sophie Wilde, and Miranda Otto. The directors are apparently YouTubers with a huge following, and this movie broke out when it was selected for Sundance.
I mean this with sincerity: what a kick ass mom.

Finally saw it. Repeatedly thought of Amadeus and Asteroid City.
Wanted to look up who played Feynman cause I thought they had something and see that it was the Quaid boy. Also liked Safdie and previously liked him in Licorice Pizza and thought Uncut Gems was great so will need to check out Good Time.
Real good. Fuckin’ long. Bullock seats are too low and hurt my knees.Good Time is a great fucking movie.

Only in America can a white boy who went to Westlake, had his daddy pay for college and gift him 10 grand as an adult think that he was born on first base. A truly impressive level of obtuseness.
And anytime you are responding “This” to a Slorch post, probably worth taking a second to ponder.

Some people vow never to go back to prison. I vowed never to live in poverty again, and started making relevant life decisions in doing so very early on. Poverty sucks and there are no two ways about it. I don't feel guilty about what I have earned, and in all honesty, most folks would certainly not consider me wealthy- even if I have pretty much everything i ever realistically wished for. I don't wring my hands over the stability I have built for my family. I do know I never want to live that life again, and it drives much of my decision making. That's not to say one lives in fear, but with a certain degree of vigilance.
It's not some miracle or accident. That concept seems beyond many surlist's willingness or ability to reconcile in their worldview. Queue the bootstrap jokes and remarks; yet we cannot share that opportunity absolutely exists. I must discount my own experience, lest I disrupt the dystopian ideals.
It's frustrating AF.
Oh that’s right. I forgot you were the guy who grew up the beneficiary of government welfare programs and yet claims to have pulled yourself up by your bootstraps. This really is like an old shaggy thread.

Jesus Christ you guys turned this into an old school Rex Kramer and Slorch thread. Throw in a derka meltdown and a Rocko paystub and we’d have an old shaggy thread.
Ill give it up to Rex though. He’s never grown tired of being a silver spooned cement head.

Maybe you're not elite? Not smarter? Not better? Just throwing that out there.
As someone who lived in the Carmel Valley for 20 years, I can tell you that just about everyone I met absolutely believes, without any doubt, that the 270 million people in the US who don't live in California are complete Neanderthals. Glad Cal and Stanford are cut adrift. Wish USC and UCLA were too, but I'll take what I can get.
7 hours ago, Welshy said:That's the funniest shit I've ever seen. Cal cares less about its students than Stanford...and that's a lot less than atm, bamer or WVU does. This is one of, and not the only reason why, AAU sucks. These schools operate in very rarified research circles. They are not good educators. The 30-100 thousand students who attend and spend massive amounts of money at these schools are generally taught by student teachers, then by junior, non tenured professors. Think I'm wrong? Do you think those professors getting 10s of millions or 100s of millions of dollars for research are teaching 1 or 2 or 3k classes?
They are not.
Generally speaking, what the top 50 schools in the country consider education is exactly NOT education. It's a scam. And they know it. And don't care.
Cry me a river, Cal. Manage your goddamn bills.

Tech, OkSt, Utah, Arizona won't be too worried about whatever you spit. EVERYONE else will hate you like the black death. Great intro.
Welcome to the family, you lousy cunts. Also, byeeeeeee!
Seriously, Arizona State is too good for the Big 12?

So you think all of those coaches I listed are better than Sark at maintaining focus? You may be right, but he seems as good as any when it comes to rallying the troops...Bama game last year and how they came out against blowU are good examples. I'm worried about complacency against the "gimme" games on our schedule for sure though, especially those later in the season.
I really don’t think you want to go down the path of comparing Sark’s big game successes vs. failures. I mean you just cited a game we lost and a game against a team without a quarterback as the best examples of “rallying the troops”.
I like the guy and hope he succeeds, but the head coach should be your number one concern with this team. We will have more talent across the board than every conference opponent we play. Anything less than a trip to the Big 12 championship is a complete failure.

Sark’s had years to figure out how to win 10 games
that defenseand he still can’t, so I wouldn’t expect the title game to change anything. It’s not like last year was the first time he realized his offense struggled against it.Sadly FIFY.
But I'm sure this is the year it all changes!

My God.
They're all Freshmen and Sophomores outside of the linebackers.
We are still very, VERY young.
But we are getting better.
This will be a fun year to watch, but I hate that the fans are basically already expecting a bunch of underclassmen to win ten games.
7 out of 11 starters on offense are upper classman (and that isn't even including Ewers and Brooks, who are both in their third years), and 9 out of 11 on defense are upper classman. We are young in some spots but it's not really that bad.

Doris is great and about a billion times superior to Mark Jackson. Van Gundy was a caricature, but he actually had decent insights into the game sandwiched between his stupid diatribes. Can’t say I’ll really miss either of those two.

Damn, that is terrible.

I fucking lived on this game when I was 10 years old. I can still hear that dumb laughing noise from the ice cream truck in my head. I guess I have to check this out.

Saw it this morning in 70mm Imax. Blown away (a pun, haha). Nolan is hit or miss for me but this was easily top 2 (the other being Dunkirk).
RDJ was incredible.
I felt the last hour was a little much. Could have trimmed a fair amount.

look yall, i don't really think this is hard. there are certain hard slurs that are going to get you the old suspension. everyone knows these. one of them: faggot, did not used to be bannable. as a matter of fact, i used it up until about 15 years ago (? somewhere around there? i dunno, i'm getting old) myself to express extreme displeasure at a person while driving. i rationalized it, of course, by saying things like "i don't mean that person is gay" or "i don't mean that being gay makes one a fucking terrible dumbass on the road" but the truth of it was i was using a hateful word in a hateful way. i had too many gay friends in my life to be doing such an immature thing. so i made a conscious decision to stop saying it. recently, i've made more conscious decisions to be more careful about gender language, like using the words bitch and the like. not everyone needs to do that, and i'm not trying to fish for compliments because fuck you, but it's a thing i'm working on.
i think "retarded" is such a word. i used it for years and years, up until recently, even. probably less than a decade ago i stopped. why? because i knew too many other parents with developmentally different kids.
it was the exposure and the personal connections that changed how i thought about that stuff. my dad was a racist with the known "good guys" caveat. he didn't mean nigger to mean all black people. just all the black people except the known good ones. and fuck the rest if they couldn't take a joke. that was his mindset.
that is not a healthy mindset. it's okay to change.
you don't have to resist all change. change can be good. you'll feel better if you stop using the word retard. i can't explain it, but it's true. i feel better trying not to say things like "stop being a little bitch." i don't always succeed, but i'm trying to be better.
and i think that's worth effort, being a little bit better each day, if we can. if someone tells you that you've offended them, you can immediately do one of two things: 1) tell them to go fuck themselves you'll say what you want, which is okay, or 2) think about it for a minute, take the person at face value that they are offended, and say "ok, sorry about that, i didn't know that was offensive, i won't use that word for that again." the first costs a ton of emotional energy, the second costs a little tiny bit of effort and no other real energy other than trying to be more mindful of people around you. THE HORROR.
that's all well and good, but I think you are discounting the fact that saying retard and posting Michael Scott and Norm YouTube videos for the millionth time without someone daring to complain about it is "the absolute soul of this website and its predecessor".

Question for the Surly Clotheshound mafia...
My son is finally looking to improve or develop some style in clothing. He announced this a few weeks ago and his mother I were optimistic that he's beginning to mature some. However, being his father, he pretty much will not hear a thing I have to say, unless it happens to align with his current thinking. It's always been the case.
He's a good looking kid (20yrs old) in college and wears jeans, shorts, tees, and a few collared shirts. It's hot here year round so winter clothes aren't really a thing.
The problem is that his last trip to the mall/stores (he's home for the summer) yielded truly shocking results. Literally some wife beaters and a new shitty gold chain that he ensures is constantly hanging outside his shirt. Out of nowhere it's Jersey shore up in here.
My question is where would you encourage a young man to look for styles and looks that they can emulate? I thought about magazines, but they're basically dead. Is everything just social media, influencers, and fast fashion? I was hoping he would go for a timeless/classic style vs douchebag chic.
You already know this, but your 20 year old son probably isn't taking clothing advice from his middle aged dad unless he is really special. I don't think throwing him a Sears catalog will do much good, so probably best to just roll your eyes and pat him on the head. We all wore our version of a gold chain at some point (well, maybe not G650, he probably had tailored onsies as a child).
But to directly answer your question, yeah pretty much everything is online for someone his age. Reddit MFA forums actually aren't terrible for someone who is 20 with (presumably) little money to get a read on basics. And I'm sure there is some tik tok shit I'm now too old to know about.

I’m pretty bearish on Sark in general, but even I have to give the guy his props. This is the best overall recruiting stretch (taking into account balance across position groups, particularly important groups) since before Mack gave up after 2005, right?
