  1. G.C. Scarborough in Houston, when I graduated in 1979 had Texas Fight as their fight song. The only things I liked about that school were that the colors were burnt orange and white, and the fight song.
  2. Didn't quite catch that...can you run it by me again?
  3. Not totally meaningless for the Lions. When sideline reporter asked Detroit HC about how the team stays motivated after they were eliminated from playoffs, he replied, "We don't want them to go either." If GB loses, they're out of the playoffs and Seattle is in.
  4. And just like that, a three point game.
  5. That's probably only part of it. My guess is that he would also have had to express remorse and contrition for the incident, and agreed to undergo anger management and/or substance abuse counseling while on suspension. The fact that he, through his lawyer, continued to contend that he did absolutely nothing wrong, and would be found completely innocent indicates that none of this was going to happen, and the fact that there are now photos of him in a prison jump suit standing before the man indicate that he did, in fact, do something wrong. And one more thing...why the fuck was she in NYC with the team? Since when did people start taking their significant others on business trips?
  6. C'mon man, I've had a rough night, and I hate the fuckin' Eagles.
  7. As soon as the music starts, the dust starts flying:
  8. Nothing...it's perfect as is. Ok, maybe a sling, but I prefer simplicity.
  9. In a little white box That I can sell uptown
  10. On a scale of 1-3, with 3 being the hottest? Yes, you're correct.
  11. Yup...on Academy Drive, just east of S. Congress.
  12. Yes...at first, but they did change the name around 1978 or 79 to the Austin Opera House. I think there was a convoluted lawsuit, or lawsuits, involving The Austin Opry/Opera House, the Texas Opry House in Houston, and the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville over the use of the word "Opry". Anyway, after the name was changed, I saw Johnny Winter there in September 1981, with young Stevie Ray Vaughan opening. Awesome night.
  13. Finally! Something to look forward to.
  14. No argument on the organ donation thing, if that's what you choose to do, but if you're going to make it mandatory for people who choose to engage in higher risk activities like motorcycle riding, skydiving, etc., you should also ban alcoholics, smokers, drug addicts, etc. from receiving organ donations. Take better care of your original set of organs, and maybe you wouldn't need that transplant.
  15. People who pronounce the T in the word "often". The T is silent, bitches!
  16. I'm normally a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas, but I friggin' love this:
  17. It was not obvious as a joke, which indicates it was a bad joke about something many people are passionate. Marines, and all actual service members, earn their valor, whereas aggy wallows in stolen valor.
  18. You sure that's a lady? Looks like the young kid from Dazed and Confused.
  19. I don't like negging, but this one deserves a neg for associating that kiddie corps bullshit in College Station with the USMC. BTW, in honor of my parents, brothers and nephew, Go Navy, Beat Army!
  20. Fabletics. Any ad that starts with some douchebag saying, "Guys, let's be honest. Buying pants sucks. It shouldn't be this difficult", just guarantees that I will never buy your product. What the fuck is so difficult about buying pants? Do you not know your waist size? Can you not operate a measuring tape? Are you so much of a pussy that trying to figure out how to buy pants gets you so frustrated you resort to buying stretchy pants?
  21. Absolutely. No argument from me on that. Johnny and Stevie are 1A and 1B on my list of favorite blues/blues rock guitarists. Johnny was the first I was aware of, being introduced to his music at the tender age of 8, in spring of 1970, when my oldest brother returned home from the Navy on leave shortly before my family moved to Texas. He brought with him a copy of Second Winter. As I had learned the previous summer that our family would be moving to Texas, I was enamored with all things Texas-related, and although I didn't know yet that Johnny was from Texas, there is a song on this album titled Hustled Down in Texas, so my attention was grabbed. Then I listened...it was eye opening, to say the least. I've been a huge fan ever since. Fast forward 11 years, or so, and I'm a junior at UT, and first saw Stevie live at the old Austin Opera House, opening for Johnny. That was one of my all time greatest concert experiences, accentuated by the fact that I was front row, less than an arm's length away from Johnny and Stevie. My previous post was really just a response to the fact that I believe Johnny gets overlooked too often when people discuss great blues artists.
