  1. You have correctly identified the joke
  2. Purdue and Wake Forest are legitimately worse than several FCS schools. Northwestern and Maryland too. The bottom of the B1G is an absolute joke
  3. Ditto. DAC has some disgustingly racist songs on his banned albums and I remember kids playing those in high school. Never heard anything like that from Robert Earl Keen. Anything's possible, I guess, but it would be a shocking disappointment.
  4. I guess I was wondering more if anyone on here had gone / how it was. I meant to go but was need elsewhere. The only person associated with IT that I still listen to is Wadlington and I really enjoy his content. But I mostly listen to EGAT and read his prospectus, I don't watch the youtube channel. I used to like it when he had Ian Boyd on because Boyd would say some of the most bizarre, dumbass shit you had ever heard and Wadlington would be flummoxed. But even that is not enough to make me sit through a whole segment with Boyd. Randy isn't great, but he is miles better.
  5. Reddit: Everyone overrates the SEC! Also Reddit: Ranks 10 SEC teams.
  6. Did anyone got to the OTF happy hour in Houston yesterday?
  7. I don't understand the impulse to turn Buccee's into a cultural football or to cede it to the Aggies. Everyone likes clean bathrooms. Everyone likes brisket sandwiches. And I know who owns Buccee's but I don't think that's dispositive. I'm not going to stop listening to REK or Lyle Lovett either.
  8. I like his analysis but it's hard for me to listen to him for long stretches. He talks like every frat dude turned sports betting addict that I've ever met.
  9. Okay, but how long ago was that. Curriculums change.
  10. So neither of the recent updates mentioned Parker Livingstone.
  11. I remember we were playing OSU one season where we were unranked and they were ranked 6th nationally. We won, and everyone took that as evidence that OSU was overrated rather than evidence that we might actually be good. There was literally zero upside to playing 90% of our conference games. Worthy got a nice shot in on a DB as well. Skinny dudes from Fresno love contact.
  12. Anyone get their ass kicked or lose a footrace?
  13. https://knowrivalry.com/team/longhorns-texas-97/ The only team whose hate we reciprocate equally is OU. The only other team that comes close is A&M. All the other teams hate us and we don't think about them at all.
  14. He was a much older lawyer when I was a young lawyer, so I didn't get to know him that well. He had a pretty good rant about gay marriage one time that I always appreciated, especially coming from a guy his age. Reminded me of that old school Austinite style of libertarian, who just aggressively defended people's right to do whatever they want as long as they weren't hurting anyone. Late in his career he took a case that I happened to have a personal interest in and it never sat right with me. Kind of soured my memory of him. I really can't blame him for defending someone, but I also can't shake my personal feelings about it. But he was definitely a character who epitomized a by-gone era in the city.
  15. Roy Minton was an interesting guy. Kind of an elder statesman in the Travis County criminal court world. I ran into him at the courthouse one time and he was kind of muttering to himself. I stopped him to say hi and see what had him pissed off. Apparently his client (arrested for a DUI) had a great video, made the client look completely sober. The client had refused to blow, however, and the DA wouldn't dismiss the charges. But what really pissed him off was she hadn't watched the video and didn't think she would any time soon. He was like "This DA is an unreasonable child. She's younger than my son and dumber to boot. I am not going to work with her." And I thought, good luck with that old man. Defense attorney don't get any say in which DA handles which case. Sure enough, a few days later she was off the case and the charges got reduced to "blocking a public way". I was always impressed by that degree of pull. Made me realize that if I ever got in minor criminal trouble, I am hiring the oldest, meanest, most storied defense attorney in the county and just pay whatever it costs.
