No one reads or uses literary characters for avatars or handles anymore. It’s all about Reddit and TikTok.

Spoken like a savage who doesn’t appreciate nugget ice.

If Washington scores 27 again this time they’ll lose by double digits.

It’s not even so much the hang time as the bounce. They’re a lot better at that than they used to be.

Yes, with maybe a -4.5 around.

Michigan is favored over Alabama. That’s the easiest “upset.” But, yeah, the “sure, the favorite was supposed to win, don’t blame me” vs. “look at me picking the upset” trope is tiresome.

If his path to success is physically dominating Texas, his season ends very soon.

He said in response to a direct question that he isn’t 100% but he’s getting there. Maybe in 10 days, it sounds like.

Imagine losing to the team that lost to “this” OU team. Alabama should’ve been the guys pounding Iowa State, I guess. GreenRiverGatorz sounds like a denizen of the short bus.

Back in 1993, I could still dunk. Inflation alone makes the $4.09 go to $8.81. Granted, a #2 whatasized with cheese is so pricey I’d just about be better off getting sit-down Tex-Mex, but only a small part of that is actually on Whataburger.

Yeah, I have it for shipping, 5% back, and Reacher.

I admit to hearing about his short tenure as HC when he was hired, not the particulars. His O-line recruiting here has been stellar so far so this makes me feel better about keeping him. He already has "offensive coordinator" as part of his title so the only thing that could realistically lure him away is a HC job...assuming he doesn't want to actually be OC. You never know about what drives someone. imo, he basically has a golden ticket at Texas as long as Sarkisian wins and the OL produces… and he has that with fairly circumscribed responsibilities that he appears to be excellent at carrying out. Does he want a higher risk, potentially higher reward OC or HC position when he, at best, hasn’t demonstrated the same aptitude as he has in his current position? A risk-averse person might be tempted to keep cashing those fat checks and have as close to carte blanche in selecting his players as anyplace in the country, while getting, at least, the very possible “rising tide lifts all boats” salary bumps that come with kicking ass. A less risk-averse person might want different challenges. I don’t write the checks, but he’d be one of three guys after Sarkisian who would not be allowed to leave because of money.

Didn’t you see them almost not lose to UGA, the one time they’ve played since moving to the SEC?

The upside is that, lately, they play it like they’re the Bills.

The path of his life is strewn with cow pats from the devil's own satanic herd.

Dog with the GoPro has been the highlight of bowl season so far.

Jonathan Brooks’ injured knee is that reason.

I listened to the first two episodes while I was doing my afternoon cardio. Nate may already be my hero. He’s out there with a lot of gringo pronunciations, especially on the vowels, along with mismatched adjectives here and there and he’s still communicating like a MF, which is the entire purpose of learning a language. Me gusta mucho.

“We had some real Aggies out there.” I feel like maybe I’m reading that with a different meaning than he meant.

“…anything but meat-judging.”

Equestrian?

Probably shouldn’t quote, but here we are. I’m not a duo, though “nerd” would probably be fair, but I’m thinking Texas by 17 or so. (Keep in mind I said Texas would win in Tuscaloosa by 10+, that Ewers would outplay Milroe, and the math said Texas would likely fuck away a game and that OU was the most likely one.) Something like 45-28 or 41-24.

I haven’t. I’ll look into it. I’m not an expert in the subjunctive, but my understanding is that it’s used to express various permutations of uncertainty: doubts, wishes, desires, and like. It’s conjugated as “sea” there due to, I suppose, the uncertainty inherent in “it may be…” I don’t really agree with focusing a lot on the grammar a priori. Imo, in our native language we use set phrases rather than thinking about the grammar. When I say, “If I were you…” I’m not remotely thinking about why I use “were” there (though I know), I’m just saying it the way I know it needs to be said. Same with “Si fueras tu…” But, yeah, things click differently for different people. HelloTalk helped me for a while. I found a few people in a city I like and we could converse about the various places I visited and that they knew and it was really cool. Quite a while ago the signal to noise level got so low that I no longer bother. $150 a month would be cheaper than relocating. And, yeah, of course one doesn’t have to be immersed to progress, but it takes us years of 24x7 exposure to get proficient in our native languages and even a couple of hours a day of speaking will end up taking a lot of time to make strides. Along those lines, though, one of my targets for the new year is to keep track of common phrases I use to get through the day but that I don’t know or that don’t flow well for me in Spanish and Anki them. And to watch more Spanish shows and snag some useful phrases and do the same. Thanks for the recommendations. I appreciate them. Edit: It’s cool that Espanolistos is Latin American Spanish. Adding it to the playlist.

I’d never really thought about it, but I guess it makes sense that they’d have freight elevators to the pressboxes.

Is that 9 of the possible 55 scholarship guys they were talking about having? I want to revel in their misery but not get close enough to get any on me.
