  1. I don't enjoy watching bad football on TV. And there's plenty of stuff to do when it's 20 degrees outside. There were less than 40 points to scored by teams with a combined 13-11 record entering the game. There was nothing fun about that game unless you had money on it. Participation trophies for all! Mediocre directional schools playing small private or commuter schools in what amounts to cripple fights isn't much of a build up. But point made...to each there own. The more I think about it, the more I think these games exist for the gambling community.

    Shit My Kid Says

    We've had a bunch of treats delivered by neighbors, co-workers, etc. We offer the kids some Godiva chocolate truffles after lunch, but we tell the 6 year old he has to finish his meal first. He's the slowest eater ever, so like 20 min later he pushes the plate forward and says "now can I have some of that vagina chocolate?"

    Shit My Kid Says

    No son. Jesus wasn't born in Austin. He only played football here from 2003-2005.
  4. They sure as hell didn't come down for the game this week. I don't have LHN so couldn't see how many butts were in seats.
  5. My memories of the Independence Bowl is a fairly well attended bowl featuring a couple of 8-4 or 7-5 type teams. Weather can be iffy, but the game is usually entertaining. W.T.F. These teams are shit. There's a team from Lousiana and Houston, which isn't that far away, and there may be 5,000 people there. The teams are 6-6 and 7-5, and only because they play in dogs shit conferences. Just terrible football. We really need to cut the number of bowl games in half.
  6. Because if there is one thing that goes through my mind watching a Mike Leach (RIP) offense vs. Jimbo, it's "yep, those are the same."
  7. We've made other plans. I'm not going down there just to be turned around because I need to pay $60 per ticket for a shitty weeknight game over the holidays. If you end up going, please report back what the scalping situation looks like.
  8. Interested, but i need to find another 3 together. My family of 5 is trying to go, and we can split up 2/3 if needed.
  9. What are the odds I could find 3 seats together for a reasonable price down at the arena before the game? I have a family of 5, and we could split up 2 and 3 if needed. Someone is selling a pair in the For Sale forum, so if I bought those I still need 3 together. Cheapest I could find on StubHub is $82 per ticket for 3 together. That's a little steep for a mid week game against a directional Lousiana school.
  10. This is really surreal. They were on Cloud 9 with unfounded hopes of a playoff birth and all the hype around their recruiting class just a few short months ago. Fast forward to today, and every day I wake up and it's like Nope. It's real.
  11. And what he really means is "time to just raise other people's money"
  12. This made me LOL. I think it's because 95% of Surly would have made a similar observation
  13. Chester always had time to sit with customers and tell a dirty joke or three. I spent more nights there than I'd like to admit between 1997-2001. One of my best friends was a waitress there and, by extension, I was friends with every waitress. I think every girl in that group of friends waited tables on occasion because it was a good, but hard earned, $100-$120 per night in tips. And free fried mushrooms for me. I lived with my cousin at the time, and one time we were there, and the Back Page Austin Chronicle hooker he ordered the night before was there with a guy. We both recognized her immediately and she shot us the "don't say a fucking word" look immediately. Always wondered if she had a boyfriend or husband and the guy had no idea. Took my dad there one time he came into town shortly after I turned 21. We walked in, and all the waitresses rushed to give me a hug and brought us a bucket of Miller Lite without me asking, which was my standard at the time. Dad: "How are your grades this semester?" Me: "Well, I'm learning a lot." Dad: "I can imagine."
  14. If you've never had boquerones, don't think of them as anchovies as you probably know. They aren't heavily salted and don't have an extreme fish taste. It's a completely different experience.
  15. Where did you get the boquerones? I fucking love those with just some olive oil and a touch of salt.
  16. Always cracked me up they snuck the Donger in there as a tourist.
  17. So did you get some digits?
  18. $100 AUD or USD? Also, the cheap birds in the US are garbage. Bread to get as fat as possible, as quickly as possible, with as much white meat as possible. Thus they are tasteless. And injected with a solution and then frozen. If that's what you're paying $100, AUD or USD, I'd switch to something else. Kangaroo burgers anyone?
  19. Rarely do you get a chance to look into to a crystal ball, but here we are. Wiler77 in year 2042. That must be my littlest's wedding. It'll be "Whole Lotta Rosie" for the middle boy.
  20. I wonder if Jimbo is Boomhauer in 1:1 settings? Because I can't fathom how that guys connects with youth of today, or how a group of grown men spend 5 minutes in his presence and this is the outcome
  21. Not sure what the fuss is. When texas is the favorite, take the points. I'm pissed we're losing, but I'm winning money on it.
  22. 2 boys, aged 6 and 8. Wife is out of town with the 11 year old. It's 8:50pm...time to settle in for some email and powerpoint.
  23. I feel like the ship is sinking, and the wife has only been out of town for 24 hours. Up at 545am to have 20 minutes to myself before getting the kids up. Drop off/pick up from school because our carpool partner is unable to for 3 days. Slammed at work. Get kids fed early because we have to be at soccer fields at 6pm 2 nights in a row. Get them cleaned up quickly so they are in bed shortly after 8pm. Put in another 1-1.5hrs of work because of everything I missed taking care of the family. Rinse and fucking repeat. Holy shit. So to all the single parents out there that have to do this day in and day out...
