  1. Got ours for Michigan. FYI for those looking at the ticket market, face value for tix through UT are $215.
  2. Getting better after a few games a day this week. RPOs were really pissing me off at first until I did a bit of practice and realized the actual RPO play call (alert vs read vs peek, etc) is really important to the mechanic. Most of them are a one-read quick pass or a handoff where it hands off if you don’t throw it quick. But if it’s a slower developing multi-route RPO, that’s when you can press A (Xbox) to pull the ball back from the RB and then throw it to receiver. Defense is tough and my biggest complaint is player switching. Haven’t played this game or really any Madden since 2012 probably, but it used to be where when you hit the switch player button on D it almost always put you to the player you were expecting it to, most often the player closest to the ball. Here I often end up switching to some CB up the field who dives and takes himself out of the play.
  3. Haven’t been notified about Michigan tix yet. But yes they had previously said they would notify for away ticket requests by July 15.
  4. Every year, like clockwork, some media jackwagon asks the head of officiating to comment on Horns Down and taunting. And when the given answer is aggregated everywhere the story becomes “why is Texas so soft?”.
  5. What a save!

    Could have been. That’s what I thought at first.

    Yikes. Crowd control issues up at the stage? Hartzell just stopped his speech . edit: back on. But I was down there an hour ago and it seemed like the crowd was bigger than had been planned for.
  8. Biden just challenged Trump to a driving contest.
  9. Trump spouts non-stop bullshit but the relative strength of his voice is noticeable.
  10. Tennessee’s first NCAA title in any sport since 2009.
  11. Nicely done Vols. made it about as agonizing as possible
  12. Vols starting to fuck around.
  13. Missed it Friday but caught it this morning. “A wild pitch set the barn ablaze” been cracking me up all day.
  14. Worst case scenario is dramatic Aggy walkoff win
  15. Lost my mom this week, from a rare Leukemia (T-ALL). Just about 20 months since she was diagnosed. She went through some really rough times over the last year and a half with some brief reprieves mixed in, but never got much of a break despite wonderful care at MDA and many rounds of chemo, stem cell transplant, etc. Shit just kept popping back up Only 64. Huge longhorn fan who I’ve gone to hundreds of football, basketball, and baseball games with, including multiple shaggy/surly road trips and tailgates over the years. I’ll never have a better friend. Fuckin cancer, man.
  16. Commentary audio is a couple seconds behind the video for FS1. Annoying.
  17. Cool, that makes sense, but last year the email only said they would select them the morning of the next day and nothing about an hour time limit. Glad they cleaned up the language.
  18. June 25th. Last year when I was a couple hours late for my selection, I got an email with my seats before I had picked. Seats were fine so it worked out but was a bit weird.

  20. I go to the movies probably once a month or slightly above that on average. Never anywhere but Alamo except the occasional IMAX at the Bullock. Of all the times I’ve been to Alamo over the years I honestly can’t recall someone on their phone for anything but a brief moment. A few times I’ve seen a loud table get a warning but other than than it’s almost always a good experience in terms of audience courtesy. Waiters, food service and eating can be a bit distracting but I don’t mind it thanks to the rest of the environment that Alamo has built at its Austin theaters. Love to get a cocktail during the show (although the bill at the end can be alarming if it’s a long movie). Bummer about the closings in DFW.
