  1. Aggy is fortunate that Reed is mobile, because that vaunted o-line is getting beat routinely in pass pro.
  2. Pretty obvious hold by Zuhn
  3. Ah, yes. Along with "rum, sodomy, and the lash."
  4. I'm no Matt Rhule apologist, but he did well at Temple before going to Baylor.

    Terrific pic. Mick Jones' pronouncement of "Split!" in Should I Stay Or Should I Go was directed at the two Joes (Ely and Strummer), who were engaging in some shenanigans in the recording studio at the time. Now both are gone.

    Really shitty news.
  7. I think it's pretty clear that poster was being sarcastic. He's the one ag poster in that whole string that showed any self-awareness.
  8. I thought it was a mixed bag -- a movie that couldn't really decide what it wanted to be. There were times (esp. early in the film) that I wondered whether it was supposed to be a straight satire of Hollywood. I thought Clooney was very good in his role, FWIW.
  9. We will miss Taafe next season for sure, esp. in the early going, IMO.
  10. Every so often it pays to check out the local Costco. 4RSB for $30 and OF1910 for $44 today.
  11. You sure it wasn't Superfreak by Sixpence None the Richer?
  12. Vintage Surly -- discussions about The Knack derailing a thread about the head football coach at Michigan performing career suicide by banging an administrative staffer and then having a psychotic episode in which he threatens to kill himself and others. You cannot make this shit up. (BTW, "Your Number or Your Name" is the best song on the Knack's first album.)
  13. A good attorney should be able to get that knocked down to following too closely.

    RIP. A friend gave me one of their CDs several years ago, which caused me to have a greater appreciation for the Mavericks. Fuck cancer
  15. They should be interviewing Hart -- his tip saved Jefferson's ass, who got beat on the coverage. I mean, it was nice hands by Jefferson to catch it, but that's either first and goal or a GW touchdown if Hart doesn't make that play. And then Jefferson (gee, a Sooner, no wonder) gets up and starts to run, risking a fumble, which was the only way Philly could have stayed alive after the pick. His own teammate had to tackle him. LOL Ex-Sooner stupidity.
  16. LOL. I won a copy of Black Bear Road (the album that contained the song "Convoy") by C.W. McCall when I was a kid -- and come to think of it that might have been my first album. It was either that or a Three Dog Night Greatest Hits album I bought because of late night television commercial. Good times. Cassette? I do not recall. But if Cheap Trick's At Budokan wasn't my first cassette, it was close. Compact disc -- Communique by Dire Straits Download -- I have no idea. It's interesting that I have at least partial recollections of my first LP, cassette and CD, but none whatsoever of my first download. And I'm sure it's at least in part because buying and listening to an LP (or a cassette, or a CD) was always more than just about hearing the music. You were also checking out the artwork, reading the liner notes, looking at the songlist, learning who played the instruments on the songs, discovering who wrote the songs, etc., etc. With downloads, click a mouse and two seconds later you have music but not much else. It's not the same experience.
  17. "As a team, we've decided to be whiny bitches about the fact that we think we got screwed out of the CFP."
  18. I suspect that's an error. He certainly didn't start at center in that game. I went back and watched the first offensive play of that game (the Wingo 75 yard catch-and-run), and it was Robertson at center.
  19. That would, IMO, only exacerbate the bowl oversaturation issue, which is already a problem.
  20. Well, you're in luck then. Be sure to tune into the Cricket Celebration Bowl and the Bucked Up LA Bowl, because both of those games are being played next weekend. I'm sure dozens will be enthralled.
