2025 World Series- Dodgers v Blue Jays
Fucking Blue Jays, you had it in your hands & just coughed it up. Can't squander that many opportunities against that caliber of a team. Great game, great series. Congrats to LA. They kept fighting the entire time & made the plays.

Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
JFC, just stop. Did you forget the first three fucking quarters?

Texas vs. Vanderbilt - 11am on ABC
OK, fair enough. But you do realize that play probably doesn't happen if the refs had properly called DPI on Vandy during the prior Texas drive, right?

Sark's responsible for the refs blowing obvious fucking calls??

Filsaime having a shitty game. Missed tackle on the Vandy TD and a stupid personal foul.

Now Marcia Ball - well fuck ALS
That's sad news about Marcia Ball. She certainly knows her way around the keyboard. Would play up a storm while kicking one of her crossed legs to the rhythm. Speaking of weddings, I once saw her play a wedding reception. The groom (who was a friend of a friend) absolutely loved Marcia Ball's music, so they came up with enough $ to get her to play the reception. Unfortunately, things got cut short when the groom hurt himself dancing during the festivities.

My first thought was, "Why the hell is someone dedicating a thread to a brand of sewing machines?"

Wine
The wife (no pics) and I are only occasional wine drinkers, and imbibe more red than white. But she does have a fondness for "old school" (at least from a California standpoint) Chardonnay, i.e., buttery, oaky, malolactic fermentation up the wazoo Chardonnay. That style is obviously no longer the trend, and it frustrates her whenever she tastes a new Chardonnay and gets nothing but bright, minerally, stone-fruit tasting notes ("If I wanted something that tastes like sauvignon blanc, I'd order sauvignon blanc!") My understanding is that the newer trend of lighter, more fruit-forward Chardonnay is actually more like the classic European Chardonnays and thus is actually more "old school" than the butter bombs that California produced back in the 1990's and early aughts, but that's not what she likes, so . . . Surly wine gurus, please recommend me some buttery, oaky Chardonnay, preferably $50 or less. I keep seeing Rombauer popping up when I do some online investigation, along with labels like Far Niente, Frank Family, and Hamilton Russell. Any others I need to be looking at?

Surly Jazz Thread
Came over to this board to post something about DeJohnette. One of the most significant jazz drummers/percussionists.

Texas vs. Mississippi State - 3:15pm on SEC Network
I didn't really interpret his comment as a dart at Arch. He was simply expressing gratitude that Caldwell is a capable backup. Arch didn't have a perfect day by any stretch, but he played winning football for the most part and was a helluva lot better than last week. Hope he recovers quickly.

Is there a better action movie than Raiders of the Lost Ark?
Such a great terrible movie. The Jamaican patois dialogue is awesome.

So we're going to bag on Caldwell for throwing a TD pass? Bold strategy there, Cotton.

Betcha Shipley is heaving a huge sigh of relief that Texas won.

Texas vs. Mississippi State - 3:15pm on SEC Network
I know PK brought extra pass rushers on a higher percentage of plays than he did in the second and third quarters. He blitzed a couple times really early in the game, but then went away from it for the most part until late in the game. Not sure why. It was as though he was calling the same defense that he threw at Pavia last season, i.e., rush lane integrity, drop 7 or 8, keep him contained in the pocket, don't let him beat you with his legs. And while Shapen can certainly run if needed, he was carving us up on intermediate routes because we could not move him off his spot and gave him a lot of time to throw during the first three quarters or so. I do not understand what PK's thinking was, but he moved away from what wasn't working and started sending extra rushers at Shapen in the 4th quarter and OT, and it's a good thing he did.

HELL YEAH!! Well done, Matthew Caldwell! I hope Arch is okay. There was a ton to dislike about this game, but one thing that cannot be questioned is that this team will battle regardless of the score. (Can't say the same for some of the posters here.)
