I guess I can assume you've been to the downstairs bar at Esquire Tavern? Damn I loved their selection, and the fact that they would let me have 1 oz pours to taste a larger variety of whiskey. Damn, I really enjoyed that Old Rip VW.

I think I make pretty good burgers, but it's not the best thing I make. I'd love to make some chili for Jim, though. I love to compete in local cook-offs, purely for fun only. And I've learned a great deal from this board.

Hey Jim, My family and I will miss having you, Colleen, and your awesome food here on the island. My last time in was just a few days before the announcement. I was moved by the picture of you and your lovely wife that you had just recently placed on the wall, and I hope it finds it way to a place where you and your excellent culinary vision can thrive. I will always remember how I witnessed first hand your engagement with the public: getting feedback, making right on mistakes, etc. It was obvious you cared. I see a lot of people bashing the island and I can't blame you for feeling the same, but while I love it here I do admit this: Galveston didn't deserve you. You deserved better than this place. Vaya con Dios PS, If you haven't completely moved away, please come visit my place. Would love to serve you some food that is lower in quality than what you served me 😀

That's exactly how I remember it, too. IIRC, the usual professional leagues had only begun encroaching $1 mil per year around that time. And I remember being astounded that the LA Express gave Steve Young a 10 year, $40 mil contract. I've never been that interested in the financial aspect of sports franchises but my impression is that the lasting impact of the USFL was the exponential impact they had on sports salaries. Also, since I knew Brent Johnson on the Texas FB team, and had been recruited by his dad Jimmy Johnson, I note that I thought his $200k contract to move to theU was such a large salary for a coach (he makes as much as POTUS?). It's amazing to see how far coaches' salaries have come.

Yes to Katie's. And now they have a restaurant on site with legit crab cakes.

Good point, but it doesn't have to be a team captain...

I don't think I've had this much fun watching the Horns play football since the UGA beatdown. Wish Bevo could've had a ute mascot to run off to kick things off tonight. Otherwise, near perfection. Happy New Year, surlyworld!

Good stuff there, agree. Will add that we loved the Renaissance Lodge at Sonoma.

So...remember the Alamo Bowl?!?

"You said chiseled twice!" "I like chiseled!"

That's Latin, Surly. Evidently, MaybeACoordinator is an educated man.

Win or do not. Since he is staying, I'll be rooting like hell for him to succeed (our team to win). But if the team doesn't take a big leap toward championships, I'll be rooting like hell for him to be shitcanned.

J Abnorm Psychol. 1996 Aug;105(3):440-5. Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal? Adams HE1, Wright LW Jr, Lohr BA. Author information 1 Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens 30602-3013, USA. Abstract The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies. PMID: 8772014 DOI: 10.1037//0021-843x.105.3.440

Hat tip to all who for the past week + said that they didn't believe this had yet happened because USC would've made a public announcement. So here's to you, Mr. #1 Foam Finger Surly Sage Guy. You were correct!

If you finished the evening banging your Avatar, please put a link to your story with pictures on the "I'd pee" forum when you get chance. Begging for a friend.

C'mon man

Stopped by this last page to see what kind of intelligent insights are being offered about the Mueller investigation and how it relates to recent world events. But the Surly feckers are spacing out. OK, cool, and Hook 'em!

Portal hypertension.

I've read that Bama has had high staff turnover because of how intense it is dealing with being on Saban's staff, too. But gee whiz, the product on the field throughout such turbulent times hasn't been too damn bad.

On this board, the only person I trust to bring me sandwiches is Kate:

This. Bodacious on 2227 S Mobberly Ave, Longview TX 75602 is worth a detour even if you were heading from Dallas to Los Angeles.

Uh-oh.
