    Great example, for it was through the Replacements ("Alex Chilton"), the Bangles (their cover of "September Gurls"), the dB's, and R.E.M. that I discovered Big Star. Many years ago I was reading an article in Rolling Stone in which different artists were listing what they had listened to the most that particular. I think it may have been James Hetfield of Metallica of all people who raved enough about a compilation of soul singer James Carr that I went out and bought the album without hearing it first. Hell, I had no idea who James Carr was until I read that article.

    They played Sam Houston 3x during that period, not 2x. (2022, 2012, and 2013). They played Rice 2x during that period, not 1x. (2013 and 2014) They played Texas State 1x during that period.

    You know who Buddy Rich thought was a terrific drummer (aside from himself)? Karen Carpenter.

    And all your descendents' retirements.

    I've eaten many a Lucky Boy breakfast burrito. My go-to for such vittles in Pasadena. There are two locations.

    Yeah, good questions. And I'm sure that made Marky Mark even more thrilled. That said, he actually seemed to warm up a little bit with time.

    Wahlberg looks absolutelly THRILLED to be talking to the Mannings.

    While all of us would have preferred Jimbo's Reign of Error to continue, you should take heart that aggy will continue to fuck up somehow. It's what they do. They'll continue to invent new ways to shit the bed.

    That's more on KOC than anything, IMO. Terrible playcalling and designs when it's clear Denver is going to bring heat. Didn't have hot routes or safety valves on any of those plays. Contrast that with what Denver did on their last drive -- hit Perine flaring out of the backfield over and over again. Dobbs had very little chance when Denver was bringing extra rushers and no receivers were open or even looking for the ball immediately.

    That unnecessary roughness no call on the first Minnesota turnover turned out to be huge. Turned into 3 points for Denver, which was the difference in the game.

    In related news, Shough is gonna portal. Again. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38939164/texas-tech-quarterback-tyler-shough-enter-transfer-portal

    As usual, the rest of the SEC conspires to thwart aggy dominance.
  13. Carl Spackler
    Yep. For the record, here is the list of in-state schools aggy played during that time period. Juggernauts, all of them: SMU Sam Houston State Rice UTEP Lamar Prairie View A&M UTSA Texas State Abilene Christian

    RIP. She and her husband were/are quality human beings who cared about helping others.

    Fuck sand aggy. End of message.
  16. Carl Spackler
    Nah. I don't mind scheduling someone like Louisiana-Monroe or some other lower-tier FBS program in that slot, but scheduling Lamar would be shameful, just like aggy scheduling Abilene Christian is shameful.
  17. Carl Spackler
    Good. I would not be happy if we stooped to such aggy scheduling lowness.

    The Saturday high in Ames is predicted to be 58, so temps should be in the 40's at kickoff. NWS forecast for Ames tomorrow night -- good football weather. Saturday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 33. West southwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening.

    If it's still possible to order the "Don't Care, Got Jimbo" t-shirts, you'll be able to knock out all your Xmas shopping at once.

    A lot will depend on Ewers taking care of the ball (he had at least 3 turnover-worthy throws against TCU but only one got picked) & Baxter doing the same when he runs. Don't want to give ISU short fields in front of a liquored up home crowd.

    As if they would know about the "spirit and tradition of champions."
  25. Carl Spackler
    Yeah, definitely. Has your vag stopped leaking yet?
