    The Marines are kind of aggy-like in their cultishness.

    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!

  2. 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?

    I mean, the history of the blues is one of handing the torch to the next generation.  Johnny & Stevie Ray are both in that iconic chain of Texas blues guitarists.

    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.

    Thank you for posting this picture.  I love me some Stevie Ray, but Johnny is the man, as far as I am concerned.  He put Texas blues guitarists on the map, and resurrected Muddy Waters' career, but is seriously under appreciated.

    Me and my girl were taking her niece to Houston and stopped for a Happy Meal and some coffees at a College Station McDonalds.  The dang Happy meal came with a Newcomer of the Year Award

  6. Anybody remember Baby Giant convenience stores?  I bought my first six pack of Coors in one when I was 14.  That was a big deal at the time not only because is was my first beer purchase AND I was underage, but Coors had only recently been made available east of the Rockies at that time.  Good times.

    Not only Star Wars but anything to do with space. If you see poling broken down in America there is literally not a government program that doesn't have like 75% approval until you get to Nasa, and then it's like- fuck that shit- cut Nasa to the bone.  I've heard it's changing some amongst the younger generation and they are becoming as big pf comic book nerds and star wars loving types as the average suburban white kid. 

    My wife hates Star Wars, Star Trek and NASA as well.  

    Gil Scott-Heron hates him some NASA...and apparently whitey too.

    So Sark reads surly confirmed. lol

    That would be funny.  But seriously, what this indicates to me is that Sark has a level of introspection and humility that Tom never had, or at least never showed.  This alone bodes well for his growth as a coach, and will hopefully manifest itself in more consistent ass kickings of opponents on the football field in the very near future.

    Damn y’all are way more optimistic on Ewers than I am.

    I think he is mindfucked, and beyond that, simply a bad, bad quarterback. Terrible decisions. Terrible mechanics. Not a leader. Deer in the headlights. So bad that we have to actually not use the QB position for anything but handing off to our badass RB room.

    He will shit his pants in Tuscaloosa next year.

    This seems like one of those posts that will get bumped several times next year to highlight what a terrible post it is.
