  1. Heating up frozen items isn't cooking, it's defrosting and/or warming.
  2. He had a great arm, nubbin wrong with that!
  3. Your wife sounds SUPER hot!
  4. Disagree. Their job is to do that and it is what they are paid to do. There is a reason there are two minimum wages. In Texas minimum wage is $7.25/hr (hopefully getting more), but for a server or someone who is suppose to be a tipped employee it is $2.13/hr. So not tipping bartenders or servers appropriately is a dick move, but people who get paid a standard wage (not tippped employees) are being paid to do that job.
  5. No, that game was in 2012 and was Johnny's Freshman and Heisman winning season. His last game was a dominating Chick-fil-A Bowl victory over Duke 52-48 to cap a 9-4 season which included fantastic victories over Rice, Sam Houston State and UTEP in addition to smashing the power house Blue Devil football team.
  6. Fuck those guys! I am team "People's Burmese Front for Liberation"!
  7. Here's what I said. Please identify what is incorrect and in-congruent with this and with the follow-on post. "Yes Texas, and UH, as public institutions have to comply with FOIA. However, Baylor (rape cover up, murder cover up, shit heads overall) can say they only have a "verbal report" about the wrong doings and nobody can FOIA them (They could be sued or part of a criminal instigation and that is different obligations than just FOIA requests/requirements). And as the Big 12 is made up of some private schools, with the rights of the private institutions, the Big 12 can use the same restrictions as other private institutions even though they have Public members. They can also release whatever they choose as well."
  8. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/03/05/big-ten-presidents-portal-football-covid/ Big Ten presidents kept return-to-school, football communications out of public eye Various sections from the article about 2021 communications moved to Big 10 conference communications in order to avoid FOIA. “I would be delighted to share information,” Wisconsin Chancellor Rebecca Blank responded in an email chain begun in August by Michigan President Mark Schlissel, “but perhaps we can do this through the Big 10 portal, which will assure confidentiality?” The Big Ten portal, which uses Nasdaq Boardvantage’s software, allows users to communicate with one another, share meeting materials and view documents — but the school presidents value it at least in part because they see it as exempt from open-records laws. The 13 public institutions in the Big Ten, which spans 11 states, are subject to Freedom of Information laws, which make exceptions for some private data, such as an individual’s medical information. Such material should be redacted from records that otherwise should be released. The conference itself is a private entity and does not have the same obligations to comply with public records laws.
  9. Fixed it for creepy accuracy.

  11. So you're saying life isn't fair? Come on man, spoiler that shit!
  12. This is an interesting discussion, and I don't necessarily disagree with you, but in reality it comes down to a dog-and-pony show as much as anything else. I found the following which has average football viewers in 2021 to get an idea of the teams and to work to segregate into the "Yes", "Maybe" and "No" in order to get to your Top 48 options. https://medium.com/run-it-back-with-zach/which-college-football-programs-were-the-most-watched-in-2021-49ef4f315858 Some assumptions I make are that SEC and Big 10 all get in (no change to current membership) and while I love the military academies, and Navy and Army have the eyeballs in top 48, they don't make the cut. One thing that is in question is what about basketball schools? I throw some into "Maybe" that certainly don't make it based on football alone (Kansas, Duke). The number next to them is their average football viewership from the link above. So who are your nine Maybe's to make the cut? YES (39) Ohio State — 5.22M, Michigan — 4.74M, Alabama — 4.64M, Penn State — 3.87M, Georgia — 3.61M, Oklahoma — 3.46M, Auburn — 3.22M, Michigan State — 2.89M, Notre Dame — 2.84M, Oregon — 2.57M, Wisconsin — 2.41M, Nebraska — 2.29M, Texas — 2.26M, Florida — 2.21M, Arkansas — 2.03M, LSU — 1.90M, Texas A&M — 1.86M, Mississippi — 1.81M, Clemson — 1.74M, Iowa — 1.64M, Purdue — 1.63M, Oklahoma State — 1.58M, Tennessee — 1.51M, Minnesota — 1.28M, Florida State — 1.27M, Indiana — 1.24M, UCLA — 1.18M, Illinois — 1.13M, Southern Cal — 1.11M, Kentucky — 1.08M, Miami — 1.038M, Maryland — 971K, Mississippi State — 858K, Stanford — 778K (if they want in I think they are in), Northwestern — 716K, South Carolina — 575K, Rutgers — 488K, Missouri — 462K, Vanderbilt — 37K So there are 9 from the Maybe list to get to 48. MAYBE (30) Iowa State — 1.219M, Cincinnati — 1.216M, Baylor — 1.16M (I say F'em), North Carolina — 1.032M (with basketball I think they get in), Utah — 994K, Washington — 985K, West Virginia — 948K, TCU — 907K, BYU — 893K, Texas Tech — 798K, Arizona State — 739K, Boise State — 657K, Kansas State — 636K, Louisville — 616K, Virginia — 611K, Pittsburgh — 550K, Kansas — 540K (Without basketball they are a hard no), Wake Forest — 526K, NC State — 525K, Washington State — 483K, Georgia Tech — 459K, Virginia Tech — 447K, UCF — 407K, Colorado — 366K, Arizona — 337K (need basketball to matter to be considered), Louisiana — 334K (basketball helps push them up a lot), Oregon State — 321K, South Florida — 303K, California — 222K (I think if they push they get it), Duke — 64K (need basketball to matter to be considered), NO Navy — 1.039M, Army — 804K , Tulsa — 358K, Tulane — 356K, East Carolina — 301K, Air Force — 255K, Appalachian State — 241K, Houston — 232K, Coastal Carolina — 223K, Syracuse — 219K, San Diego State — 198K, Memphis — 193K, Western Michigan — 171K, SMU — 164K, UAB — 163K, Northern Illinois — 163K, Boston College — 156K, Hawaii — 139K, Ohio — 130K, Eastern Michigan — 122K, Buffalo — 119K, Kent State — 117K, Temple — 112.7K, Ball State — 112.6K, Western Kentucky — 97K, Utah State — 91K, Akron — 90K, Marshall — 85K, Nevada — 78K, UTEP — 63K, Colorado State — 59K, San Jose State — 59K, UTSA — 51.9K, Georgia State — 51.7K, ULM — 50K, Fresno State — 45K, Wyoming — 38K, UNLV — 34K, South Alabama — 26K, New Mexico — 25K, Troy — 24K
  13. People keep talking about this, but Vandy is the SEC's only private school and all conferences want at least ONE private school so that the conference can deflect/avoid FOI type of requests or requirements.
  14. Stanford does care about athletics overall as can be seen by them winning, or coming close to winning, the Directors cup every year. While I would agree about their lack of interest in the Brave New NIL world as it pertains to Football, does Football provide the meal ticket to pay for all of the other sports as it does with almost all other programs? If so, then I believe they would be reticent to bail on football (and conference alignment and money) based on the impact to all of it's sports. Additionally, without a conference, and even if they kept all their other sports, it would be a struggle to get games/schedules as an independent (not impossible).
  15. Maybe it was a giant Reward Trip for Popeye's employees? They don't play.
  16. Hey, it's never a bad time for a Cupgrade!
  17. For him it's more like a side shuffle.
  18. Not completely. The island was located close enough to the Ukraine coast to be hit by long range artillery and MLRS systems. It is NOT that close to Crimea or Russian controlled areas. I am pretty confident that the improved artillery and MLRS systems were the key for Ukraine.
  19. Well if you were as drunk as .... well yourself, how do you really know?
  20. Per leg? This guy is one more piroshki from needing a crane to get him in and out of bed.
  21. Heck, with all the shit they like to talk they would die from "Disin' Terry" well before that!
  22. If she said "white" or "asian" would you have made fun of your colleague?
  23. I think The Brazos County Women for Traditional American Values Auxiliary Journal proudly stated that Texas A&M was #2! So yeah, put it on the stadium.
