  1. My wife and I are gigantic fans of FNL the film and series. I’ve enjoyed the vibe of the last 2 episodes. I think Sheridan is pulling on those heart strings, and I’m fine with it. I’ll give him credit for focusing on the vibe instead of Billy Bob and Jon Hamm defeating the Big Bad like the first 4 seasons of Yellowstone. But yes, there are plenty of No Notes Sheridan plot hole to point at. I think there are 2 kinds of viewers. The Chris Ryan viewer that is riding with Sheridan all the way to the train station. And the Andy Greenwald viewer that hate watches to point out the absurdity of Sheridan’s writing.
  2. Let’s look at this way. What about Etienne’s game gave Texas fits? Does Skattebo have any similar traits?
  3. Anybody have the transcript of Herbstreit going off on fOSU fans during the Tennessee game?
  4. IT reporting that Lance Jackson and MT3 are practicing with the team. I assume on scout team.
  5. You are truly demented to spend your Christmas Eve and Day camping out in Midtown Houston.
  6. I could have worded that better. Boise has a better defense than ASU.* I think Boise’s defensive line specifically is better. They have a couple dudes while Arizona State has Swanson and Durbah in their 2 deep.
  7. The Arizona/California radio guys were about what you’d expect today. Everybody has counted this team out all year. Nobody gave Skattebo a chance. Nobody gave Leavitt a chance. This team hasn’t lost a game since September that Leavitt has started. This time doesn’t care. They’ll be ready to play. Completely glossed over no Tyson and level of competition. Boise’s defense is better and Jeanty is a better back. We couldn’t ask for an easier draw in the quarterfinals.
  8. I wonder if these deals are backloaded? Van Buren to LSU was baffling. Norland is curious. You’d think Just for Men Mustache and Beard will have an open QB competition in the spring before making a decision on a transfer QB. fOSU might already have one in the chamber, but I doubt they’d share that with the QB Room.
  9. Again, Memorial is great, but it’s not walkable. You’ll be lucky to have 1 or 2 walkable restaurants nearby. And there are only 2 dedicated neighborhood bars, Cowboy Surfer and By Popular Demand. I’ll probably get negged to infinity, but I think The Heights is too busy now. I have an acquaintance that lives next door to Cedar Creek and I have no idea how he sleeps. 19th and 20th are basically a less good version of Rainey Street. They dropped a large shopping centers on 11th, 6th, and 34th. I liked the neighborhood better when there were a few bars on White Oak, and you could eat a quiet dinner at Lola and you needed to sign a club membership at Eight Row Flint.
  10. Agreed. By all accounts they asked their boosters to dig deep on NIL in all out effort to beat Michigan in 2024. Didn’t happen. It’ll be a tough ask for 2025. Then again maybe not. These people are insane. “I’d rather Day be 8-56 if it included 4 wins against Michigan.”
  11. That’s a masterclass in mental gymnastics. - Tennessee deserved to be there because they beat Alabama. SMU and Indiana didn’t beat anybody. Also if not Tennessee than who? - fOSU should be embarrassed that Tennessee invaded their stadium. Their fans put Day on the hotseat not ESPN. - fOSU cares too much about the Michigan game. - Sankey had a good plan, but the other commissioners blew it up and we got what we got.
  12. Seconded, on The Woodlands. There’s a ton of stuff to do near Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. You might even be able to walk a few places. Also close to IAH. While it’s pretty great, it’s going to be $20 each way to Uber from Memorial. The Woodlands has a much better bike and hike set up. The Heights, West U and parts of the Montrose are the only truly walkable neighborhoods. If money isn’t a concern, I’d strongly recommend a place with a pool. It makes the summer much more enjoyable.
  13. The season finale was suspiciously good. Like they brought in another showrunner for the finale. The show has a lot of promise.
  14. Watch episode 7.
  15. What are the chances a Tech QB : - Doesn’t transfer. - Plays in the Cotton Bowl. - Plays in the NFL. Odds have to be in the hundreds of millions. Mahomes is their once in a 100 years QB and he was 13-19 at Tech.
  16. Late era RC is my comp for Elko. They’ll spend like crazy at DL and neglect the offense. They’re already somewhat gadgety on offense. I suspect they’ll double down on the next OC hire and run some slow mesh bullshit to save money.
  17. Keep it rolling gang.
  18. I love Hozier’s second song. Well done.
  19. I hope all my Houston people got a bottle of EHT Rye today. It’s terrific.
  20. I didn’t see a single Clemson fan in the stands. Well done wannabe SEC team!
  21. Just dropping in to say Kern is the worst punter history of the program and should be cut.
