  1. I think we can all agree that the Purple and Gold are back on track for the playoffs. You don’t just walk in and beat the Duncan-Parker-Ginobili trio back-to-back like that very often. Actually (checks notes) umm, none of them play anymore and (checks notes again) the Spurs have a worse record than the Lakers. Well at least we will have a high draft pick after the season and can build around that pick. Looks at the notes about the 2023 draft one last time as I throw them away! 

  2. I was watching the match at work yesterday, and while I did not get to see the entirety of it, what I did see looked pretty one-sided as far as which team was outplaying the other. The US deserved to win that one. England looked like a hot mess and their goalie looked like he was going to have a coronary everytime the US took a shot.

    How is Spencer Petras the best QB they have? His stats wouldn’t look good when Doc Blanchard was still playing. Really the entire Iowa offense should be stripped of their scholarship for crimes against offensive football.

    From the UK? lol nah, granted my friends and family live in Croydon but those folks are not to be included in this group

    They are always nice to me. The only people that aren’t fun to get are most tables from the Deep South and my home state of Texas. A whole region of the country where the people act like they were raised by wolves. 

  5. Glass Onion. First one in the series, Knives Out, was the better movie, but I love seeing movies with Daniel Craig. It was still a really fun movie to see. We all need some good laughs, especially at this time of year. I would watch it again.

  6. It’s a pretty cool facet of their societal values in Japan to do this. When I get Japanese tourists they are absolutely the politest group. It is them and the folks from the UK and the Scandinavian countries that have the best manners.

  7. Musk is not a genius. He’s not even particularly intelligent. I had a conversation this week at work about him. I made it very brief. Elon said he has Asperger’s Syndrome. I am on the end of the spectrum where I would have used that terminology at one point. One you don’t EVER call it that anymore because Dr. Asperger was responsible for the deaths of children in Vienna during the Nazi occupation. Two, if you want a sobering book to read go and get a copy of Asperger’s Children. You will break down several times trying to make it through the book. Some of you guys enjoy reading. That book will break your heart. 

    I also do not care if he destroys Twitter. I would prefer he just go away completely so he can stop giving off the impression that autistic people are all like him. He has some exceptionally strong traits of narcissism and when you combine that with an inability to completely understand human emotion you get this. A man child that does whatever he wants while not caring about any possible repercussions that may happen to other people.

    It’s almost that time of year.

    I’ve never bought anything off an Instagram ad but I may have to make an exception.

    That’s pretty cool. I am wearing one right now that has the quote about Santa finding the jolliest bunch of a holes this side of the nuthouse. I wore this to church before and the pastor laughed at it.

  9. UMass is their last win. As hilarious as it would be to see them lose to a glorified DII team, they’ll win that and finish 4-8 once LSU beats them by 40. Quite the accomplishment for Jimbo and his assortment of “NOT NIL” All-Stars.

  10. I think this election cycle went far better than anticipated for the Democrats. I am cool with keeping the senate. Georgia just needs to make sure Warnock is their senator and not a guy that can’t count to potato.

    New York’s Democrats performed, to be kind, not well. Jumaane Williams needs to be the Governor of this state at some point. He is plain spoken and makes far too much sense though. I would love to see him become a senator at some point. He correctly called out Hochul for her embarrassing comments following the election about how Democrats did here. I heard him speak at the March on Washington in August of 2020 and he’s a guy that Democrats need to be embracing as their future.

  11. I met an Aggy grad this week here in Manhattan. He was really nice and he lives in Austin. He did his student teaching with a teacher from my high school who had been there for 40 years. Again he was a real nice guy, BUT he thinks Jimbo is doing a great job and doesn’t want him bought out. In general when I’ve met them here they’ve been pretty nice folks. It’s when I’ve been back in Texas that I am around the crazy ones you do your best to just avoid.

    Ouch.

     

    I would be willing to give it until the trade deadline before I would attempt to find other pieces to put around those two that might make their lineup better. Sometimes guys need time to adjust to one another to make things work. They may well not fit together at all, but they need time together to find that out.
