    Wut?

    Unfortunate for that young man (and hope he's not injured too bad), but that is a very good development for the Texas CFP hopes.

    Hope you had him drinking Old Crow while you and the others enjoyed the good stuff.

    Way to butcher Sark's name, you numbnut.

    Shut the fuck up, you sec shouting motherfuckers.

    Good news about Worthy. Really happy to hear that.

    Defense didn't look like they wanted to play too bad on that drive. I know the game is a blowout, but there was some uninspiring efforts by various Texas players on that drive.
  8. Carl Spackler
    Damn. Hope Worthy heals up fast.

    Don't really think so. If Oregon and Texas both win, they would both be one-loss conference champions. But Oregon's loss is to a top-5 team (Washington), whereas Texas lost to a lower-ranked BlowU squad. IOW, Oregon has the "better loss." Also, Oregon is currently ranked ahead of Texas. Can't really see the Committee leapfrogging Texas over Oregon under the circumstances if they both win.

    Ironically, I learned about his death via a Facebook post by Marshall Crenshaw, who was part of the same NYC scene in the late 70's and early 80's. I'll have to check out DA's post.

    Just learned that Scott Kempner died yesterday. If the name isn't familiar, google The Dictators and/or The Del Lords. Kempner a/k/a Top Ten was part of some really good music -- proto-punk and humorous straight-ahead rock in the Dictators and rootsier stuff in the Del Lords. Between his death and that of Shane MacGowan of the Pogues, it's a sad day for edgy, honest, rock and roll (both Celtic- and NYC-influenced). Guess I'll be listening to Go Girl Crazy! in addition to Rum, Sodomy & the Lash tonight . . .

    Unsurprising news, sadly. He inflicted so much damage on his liver. Was a perfect front man for the Pogues, a great band. I'll probably spin Rum, Sodomy & the Lash tonight (or maybe If I Should Fall From Grace, or both) and toast him with some whiskey.

    Interesting that Sweat gets D-player of the year, but it's Murphy who gets D-lineman of the year.

    Any idea how old?

    O'Connell coached a really bad game. Total shit show on offense, which is his department. Stupid decision to go for it on 4th and 7 on his side of the field leads to 3 points for Chicago. And then when the Vikings had an opportunity to pad the lead and at least make Chicago drive the field and score a TD (something they hadn't been able to do ALL FUCKING NIGHT) his playcalling showed no imagination and his offense couldn't even pick up a yard. Just a really bad job on his part.

    pretty stupid decision to go for it on 4th and 7 on your side of the field. You have an offense that is struggling (only 76 yards the entire first half) and a defense that has been playing well (only 3 points allowed in the first half). The decision should have been to punt.

    It's simple. So simple. Yet aggy has never even sniffed winning the SEC, and the last time they won a NC was just after Hitler invaded Poland.

    Thanks for this. I had an appreciation for how groundbreaking his Monterey Pop performance was, but did not know the backstory on his Hollywood Bowl gig.

    Obligatory: Glad you had a good time. PB is a cool area and, yes, OB is a little more rough around the edges. I trust the weather was great for you. We had a little rain farther north, but I'm not sure if SD got any of it.

    Saw it last night. Thought it was very good, but not great. Loved the depiction/discussion of all the details about his "craft. Thought that some of the opening voiceover could have been trimmed down -- after a while his droning voice was starting to wear thin. The big fight scene was outstanding. The conclusion was pretty anti-climactic. One of my biggest dislikes was that the score was like nails on a chalkboard in certain places. Never cared too much for Trent Reznor or NIN, so that dislike probably factors into it somewhat.

    Saw all of that in real time while watching the game and was just aghast. If I was his coach, my head would explode.
  24. Carl Spackler
    Stoops is 35-55 in conference play since becoming head coach at UK. He's not the guy who was going to raise aggy out of mediocrity, though I'm not sure that person even exists. He absolutely would have been a terrific hire . . . from our standpoint.

    I have some land that I think you might be interested in.
