  1. I do pity an announcer who has to find new insight to communicate past the second or third overtime. But if any announcer can do it, . . . Joe Tessatore is not him. I mean, Jesus Christ, Joe—can you really not find anything to say other than “good, old-fashioned hate,” 30-game home winning streak,” and “seniors haven’t lost a game at home?” It’s just an unreal lack of talent at the announcer and Georgia QB position tonight.
  2. They definitely should’ve gone for 2. Their defense has given up touchdowns on four straight drives.
  3. Roll Left, baby!
  4. That was definitely targeting.
  5. We throw down some real main-character energy.
  6. Yeah--it's my birthday, so Mrs.LL sprung for some premium tickets. Something about the locker room--like there's a club in the locker room NFL teams use when they're playing there? I don't exactly know, but whatever.
  7. Heading to London Town in January to catch the match against Leicester. This is going to be a fun time. But I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, and would sure welcome any suggestions.
  8. That's on the list. It's one of the several properties Marriott has in Mayfair. And I guess that's a big question I have: for neighborhoods, should I hang out in Mayfair or should I do the Edition (kind of on the north end of Soho)?
  9. I stayed at the St. Ermin's last time I was in London and really liked it. So that's a plus and minus, right? On the plus side, I'm familiar with it and really liked it. On the downside, it's not new. And I like staying at a different hotel in a city like New York or London each time not just for the hotel, but also to explore the neighborhood a bit. And thanks for the restaurant recommendations. I don't think I've ever had Cambodian, so that may be something to check out.
  10. Ok, London people--I need a little help. Mrs.LL and I are thinking about heading over for a long weekend in late January to go to a Tottenham match and maybe a Fulham match that night. Where should we stay (preferably a Marriott property because points). I can do one of the Marriott properties in Mayfair; the one that is across the river from Westminster Palace, the W in Soho or one of the places in the City. Or somewhere else entirely. Or I could blow off the Marriott properties and stay at the Savoy. So help a brother out. I'm just not up to speed on the London neighborhoods right now, and need to know where I want to walk around, pop into bars/pubs, and just hang out for a few days around the football matches.
  11. Pooooor aggy
  12. I think every SEC game today has had a wonky ineligible downfield receiver call.
  13. God, I’m so conflicted. A few more things like this and SMU gets in even with a loss in the CCG.
  14. What the hell happened to putting your heels on the 10 and not fielding it if it was over your head?
  15. What the everliving fuck was that SMU returner doing?
  16. Mr. Pibb is superior to Dr Pepper. Yeah--I said it. Just because it's from Texas doesn't mean it's superior. Or even good. Actually, many of the things we've come to conclude are "great" just because they're from Texas are, in fact, barely adequate (see, e.g., Blue Bell, Whataburger, Southwest Airlines). I came to this realization yesterday at the AMC movie theater, which is one of the few places where you get Mr. Pibb because Coca-Cola has a stranglehold on the pouring rights there. But the cherry vanilla Mr. Pibb is fucking sublime.
  17. Big leads in the first half this year? Texas 35, Florida 0 Texas 21, Oklahoma 3 Texas 28, UL Monroe 3 Texas 28, UTSA 7 Texas 24, Michigan 3 Texas 31, Colorado State 0 So, what--six of our nine wins?
  18. But I thought there were no off-weeks in the SEC. I thought an "easy schedule" was impossible in the SEC because every game is a fucking war. Was that not true? Is Finebaum now saying that a trip to Vanderbilt and a trip to Arkansas are, in fact, easy? Because if so, that'd be news to Alabama and Tennessee, respectively.
  19. I remember when Nebraska at USC would’ve been appointment television.
  20. Ponies are probably the best team in the state.
  21. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a network announcer so angry at a missed ref call as in this Pitt game. He stopped just short to calling the game “rigged.”
  22. But on the other-other hand, we're going to need a steady supply of low-skill, low-wage workers if Trump is going to undertake his mass deportation. And I can think of few better places to get those workers than rural Arkansas, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Texas once the federal government cuts their communities off from the federal largesse that keeps them inhabitable.
  23. Next you're going to tell me that Sinbad didn't star as the genie in Shazaam in the mid-1990s.
  24. FSV Mainz is at home on January 11. But it looks like Bundesliga takes a break over New Years.
