which is hilarious given that buzbee was arrested for a dwi.

man, you can try and take the attorney out of personal injury attorney but your can't take the personal injury attorney out of the attorney. what a fucking greasy scuzz.

My takeaway from this game is that it’s my hope that the Patterson defensive culture is finally out of TCU’s fabric and that Dykes is turning them into cal and smu where they give up 50 points a game. Last year there was still holdover defensively…as well as a 100th year qb and a some talent on offense that’s not there.

God fucking damnit I hate being right.

Lol

tell me why i'm wrong for tonight? over 43 on corn-minn, over on 44 fla-utah, wake -31.

your latte art is looking pretty good these days, dutch. no one asked but i am 2.5 years into the rocket mozzafiato and i still love it. fabulous machine.

sorry, didn't realize there was anything longcatting. firefox doesn't actually display twitter shit. edited ot.

also, i can't believe i wasted 3 minutes of my life looking into the author of those grifter books for simps. he's a real piece of work.

*brouhaha. a charter school? i don't know anything about colorado schools and whether or not the vanguard school is in the same vein as a charter school in texas but it hails itself as a school of choice. seems like an overreaction to me. despite that flag being symbolically misappropriated by lunatics (including unapologetically racist shitheads) in the last decade, it is not something that, in and of itself, should necessitate suspension of a student. that's a fairly absurd position.

Fun collection.

That freaking sucks. They were awesome. Great post modern ambient music.

Won’t be able to do anything musical for the rest of the week but I did slide in some paradiddles, seven strokes, and Swiss army triplets for about 20 mins tonight. No Morello or Art Blakey.

I tried that…didn’t go so well. ohchaucer already scolded me for it.

me listening to myself yesterday afternoon (starting at 5:15): anyone else listening to me yesterday afternoon:

would love to. i have to be in portland, maine for something soon and just wanted to confirm that wouldn't be an opportunity.

yeah, i recognize that going from hitting youth coach pitch to facing justin verlander is a bit of a jump but one of my biggest challenges in music is patience. and i will sometimes use a mount everest as a good way to keep me patient...meaning, i know i can't do this but if i am making progress, it will get better each time and i will see it/hear it/feel it. playing something like take five feels like a good way to check in on progress for myself. but it is not...it is too ambitious...that's not a check in. that's a discourager. i need to find something else that's not achievable in my current state but is eventually which i'm not sure morello is unless i dedicate my life to it which i'm not. fwiw, i did do ten mins of flams to start. i can't help but wonder what it takes to get my legs and arms to work independently enough to play polyrhythms like that...particularly on a 5/4ths time sig. crazy.

Nuge, are you in Portland, Oregon?

So I did like a 2.5 hour session yesterday because my wife and kids were busy with some stuff out of the house all afternoon. I spent the first 2:15 playing along with a variety of pop and indie rock songs with fairly basic 4/4 time and some easier fills. Reasonably slow tempos like something in the way, etc. Towards the end I was like “fuck yeah man, I got this stuff. I’m making really good progress and don’t just sound like complete beginner shit.” so I decided I was ready to take on Joe Morello and Take Five by Brubeck. Gave up after about 90 seconds and thought seriously about selling the kit for ten minutes. I don’t know what it takes to get to a point where you can jump to true polyrhythm playing but I’m pretty sure I never will.

as for suggesting prompts, no particular story jumps to mind but i would love it if we could do one at some point through this that requires a non-4/4 time signature. maybe 5/4 or something to force me to do it.

i had to wrap this up a little early due to restraints on time this week. i did not do a songwriter submission on this one but instead, "scored the scene" per my typical style of composition. i will take a swing a songwriting in next month's prompt. i effectively envisioned the last half hour or so of rust's effort...descending through the thick clouds over moscow with a sense of peacefulness building up to a dramatic climax touching down despite expectations. but instead of it being from rust's perspective, it is from some unsuspecting person on the ground's. the early chords are intended and choir are supposed to connote a very eastern european feel...someone minding their business being miserable in the ussr. then the tremolo violin starts to build, representing the flutter of the engine and plane piercing through the cloud deck and catching the attention of our bystander's perspective...all the way down to the triumphant landing...with a small epilogue of "oh shit, we are still in russia after all the excitement." this was obviously done in logic...primarily with spitfire audio's bbc symphony orchestra. anyway, paul said we could do inside the box and this story just screamed dramatic scoring sound to me. i'll put my bob dylan hat on next month. regardless, here it is... looking forward to hearing everyone else's submissions next week.

I would be pissed if Austin fucking Fc signed that scrub ass underperformer Havertz. Go run intramural track brotha. You ain’t shit as a soccer player. I really don’t understand klopp’s thinking on personnel sometimes. Unless Diaz is in the ICU, I don’t understand any moment of live play that he’s not on the field.

Westlake in the house for an ND td. Not a bad way to get your first career catch.

so refreshing to encounter people with reading comprehension on the football board.

you seem to either a) be discussing this with someone else in your head you have constructed; or b) failed to consider the contextual basis of the conversation to which i was participating. the discussion from a couple of pages back was whether or not a ten win season was a reasonable expectation for a floor for the upcoming season. a number of posters - who apparently believe that posting useless bravado on this message board sufficiently conveys the toughness and vigor of their character - stated that anything less then said 10 win floor was a ridiculous expectation for the upcoming season. at no point did i say that we would "suck" this year. you are mischaracterizing what i said in order to project it as an extreme position. i don't know what your motivation for such a thing would be and i suppose it does not matter. but there is a significant couloir between saying that we will suck and saying that the typical preseason stupidity from the usual suspects of koolaid doused idiots (who will also be the ones who act hysterically shocked when we drop games like tech and okie state last year) is not based on anything tangible besides hope and ignores some key, specific variables at plays such as losing a game changing running back. quinn was not a true freshman. and while i hope he makes a great leap forward from his redshirt freshman year to his sophomore year, the presumption that he will do so that seems to be so popular here is purely speculative based on him finally grooming himself and losing the white trash dildo look. that's a joke by the way in case you need it spelled out. my speculation is not based only on bijan and quinn, it's on the offensive line showing no ability to dominate in run blocking, a few games of really poor pass blocking (like the baylor game discussed ad nauseam above), the defensive line's inability to convert pressures into sacks, the defensive backfield's struggles in coverage, and our head coach's long career of underperforming and consistently dropping games he shouldn't...and a consistent inability to make adjustments in-game after the first quarter. i agree with you that i will take an elite line, qb, and receiver group than an elite rb. i would take an elite oline over all of those other ones combined. you are presuming we have those things. i'm simply not yet based on the evidence. what i do know is that we did lose an elite rb and a really good rb who both made a difference quite a bit last year. hopefully those other units do become elite and it mitigates the impact of losing them. also hoping that some of the super talented guys from the last two recruiting classes can convert it to play on the field. an anthony hill or a derek williams coming in for and making major impact right away can change shit really fast. but ultimately, i can't agree that anything fewer than ten wins is an unreasonable expectation for this team. until games like at tcu, at iowa state, at houston, etc... can become presumed wins like they were from 01-09, that's not really sensible. and i have no reason to believe they are just yet.
