  1. Loved that place. My brother and I would go there for there 2 for 1 nights.
  2. Man, I know. It was a lousy little house on a mediocre street (Oak Ave) in a great neighborhood in MB. If I could have held onto that place when we moved I would have. It was bought by our rich next door neighbor and torn down. It’s a basketball court now. I can’t complain too much, we still live in CA just in the East Bay. Our house up here has done well for us. I was just literally laughing at the faux concern that if Riley bought a house on the beach in MB that he could lose as much as A MILLION DOLLARS in value on the house on a whim. Of course, that would be less than 10% of the value of the home, but A MILLION DOLLARS! If he buys on the upswing, the house will be worth more than $1mm than what he paid for it in a couple years, plus you get to stare at the ocean for the whole time you live there.
  3. Hahaha. We sold our house in Manhattan Beach 8 years ago when we moved. We sold for $1.3m. A house that was torn down and rebuilt across street from it on shitty side of the street (backing onto a tire store on Sepulveda) just sold for $5mm. That guy’s cracking me up with his concerns about LRs home appreciation “issues” he’ll experience in awful LA.
  4. Well, Jimbo did mouth off earlier this year that would beat Bama’s ass. I wouldn’t be surprised if Saban let the team run it up a bit just to keep Jimbo in check.
  5. The third down conversion pass to bijan I never even saw him throw it. I had to rewind to see the pass happen. Love his release. Same here. I actually thought was batted down at the line because it seems like it never traveled through the air.
  6. Seems like it got a lot more popular after Gladwell’s book Outliers was written. It was all over the news at the time. The book addresses the evidence that kids who are older for their grade perform better at sports and academics That advantage follows them all the way through their development, even to the extent that most pro athletes (in hockey, I think) fell into that category.
  7. Free degree with each bag of Funyuns.
  8. Yeah. Sorry. Quoted wrong post. Someone just posted UW vs WSU stats recently and PK really shut Leach down to the tune of WSU only averaging in the teens when they played against PK's defense.
  9. Why? PK was pretty successful shutting down Leach.
  10. There’s nothing they can do about it so they might as well sit back and enjoy it.
  11. Maybe they’ll stop calling other SEC schools their “brethren.” “Rue the day? Who talks like that?”
  12. Campus police parking tickets. As toothless and impotent as their rage.
  13. Sure. I understand that. But three potential is there for UH, especially with rich motivated alum. Maybe I’m being naive, but having a big alumni base means you only need a few years and/or flashy stars and those alumni will convert from or add to their fandom. Now with NIL, Fertitta can go big on a few star players to try to drum up excitement.
  14. Seems like everyone is talking about picking over the carcass of the Big 12. If the PAC wants to expand into the TX market, then they're not going to take Baylor and might not take TCU, if not because of their loose religious affiliation, just because they're too small to be useful. UH is the next best TX market school to take. They're large, they're in a major metro and they were sort of on the verge of continued relevance when we stole MENSA from them. Without UT blocking their entry into our conference, they stand to be one of the more attractive expansion candidates it seems.
  15. UH might be a winner out of this whole thing.
  16. Spread it far and wide. It makes a great gift for family!
  17. That title didn’t age well. A million dollar listing in LA is now a 1/1 condo that needs kitchen and bath renovations.
  18. A friend of mine cooked for his family out at his ranch a good bit. He said Leblanc is totally down to earth and normal. He wrenches in his dirt bikes and fixes shit around the house.
  19. I guess marquee letters are all the rage on recruiting visits now. We need to set up one of those virtual Unreal Engine greenscreen sets like for the Mandalorian for our photo ops now. I'm only half-joking.
  20. I have to respect her though because she was in a short-lived NBC sitcom set in LA called “It’s like, you know”. She played herself and the running gag was that nobody recognized her since she got her nose job and she couldn’t find work as an actress anymore.
  21. No kidding. I could literally rebuild that old LED set with individually addressable color-changing bulbs for less than $1000.
  22. Kent, this is God. Stop touching yourself.
