  1. Glad there weren't cops around, or else that rabid animal would have been dealt with
  2. I have no idea how I missed this post. No surprise is right. That guy is a Grade A douchebag, and Rivalries posters worshiped him. I haven't posted or lurked there in years, but I remember his posts reeking of superiority and condescension. I get that it was Rivalries, but his posts were different than other trash talking (which could be quite funny), and there was always something I couldn't put my finger on. Like he was overcompensating. Then out of the blue TexAgs starts putting him on their radio program and sent him to Aggy's first SEC media days. I remember he spent an inordinate amount of time trying to troll Texas fans by making 80% of his random interview questions about the Longhorns. It was at that point that I questioned if that guy even had a job, much less was a lawyer. He looked like a bowling alley cashier and he posted ALL THE TIME. And then he finds time to do TexAgs radio and go to SEC media days, where all he could talk about was Texas. This all makes so much sense. I hadn't thought about him in years, but this really brightened my day.
  3. I've always wondered how these people explain the difference between day and night. I've never wondered enough to actually read their theories, but it seems like a logical place to start if I ever meet one.
  4. Thanks. Have some rep
  5. Intuitively that doesn't make sense to me. Home favorites win at a higher rate than road favorites, although I guess home favorites likely have a higher average spread than road favorites. With no home/away distinction, what I saw was 8 point favorites win 80% of the time, and 10 point favorites 88% of the time. I assumed the home side of that was a bit higher. Anyway, the reason I'm asking is because I'm trying a new strategy where I parlay 5-6 money lines in which I take only home favorites in the 8-10 point range. Depending on the exact line, you get ~1.5 : 1 odds on that type of parlay. My sample size is low, but so far it's paying off. If there are any HUGE home favorites, I'll throw those on top just because, but the core part of the strategy is 5-6 home teams in the 8-10 point spread range.
  6. Does anyone know a good site to get analysis on ATS, W/L, home/away, etc results for college basketball this season? I'm specifically interested in finding straight-up W/L% for home teams favored by 8-10 points. I found something that had straight-up win% based on what the spread was, but there was no way to further filter home vs away. Curious if there is some master set of data available or you can pay for and analyze from various angles.
  7. My Aunt died over the weekend of Pancreatic cancer. Diagnosed 4 years ago @ Stage 4. A bit of a miracle she lasted as long as she did. The kick in the teeth was she was diagnosed 3 months after burying my uncle, who died of Mesothelioma. He lasted 3 years. It got me thinking that their kids (my cousins) have spent the last 7 years of their life caring for a parent they knew had a death sentence. Fucking brutal. They are ~33 and 35 now, so that is prime years of their life likely spent in sadness. I think they met both of their spouses around the same time my uncle was diagnosed, so that's been all they know. My hope is they can start to live the life they haven't really had a chance to the past 7 years.
  8. All that's missing is a Lego handgun
  9. Even after about my 500th viewing, all those old videos are better than 95% of what's posted in this thread.
  10. I mean, it sounds like a goat getting castrated...or at least that's how I imagine a goat sounding when it's nuts get chopped off. How those news people weren't doubled in laughter over is truly amazing. Pure professionals, although their concern was clearly fake. Grape Lady must not be well liked at the office.
  11. Having a pretty shitty day, so watching Pinky and then googling the grape lady video is turning my attitude around. I had forgotten just how awful the noise was in the grape lady video
  12. Did you put the pork into the oven in the same pot as you marinaded? i.e. you didn't strain anything, right? That looks amazing
  13. Fucking pumped. After a 3 year hiatus, we'll be hitting Crested Butte for 3 days of skiing in early March. And the flip side of that emotion is I just had a work trip to France last week, including a day and a half in Grenoble. I considered arriving a day early to go skiing because...well, how often do you find yourself at the base of the French Alps? But I've been traveling a lot and was already going to be gone for a full week, so I didn't want to press my luck with the wife. I didn't even mention it to her. The day before I left she asked me, "are you arriving early so you can go skiing? That would be fun." I felt like I got kicked in the balls.
  14. So is preparation
  15. Bru never actually signed a NLI at USC, did he? That's a pretty big difference between most cases and his. He enrolled at USC, said fuck this shit I'm going to Texas, and transferred before classes closed at Texas. This should be a no-brainer
  16. I distinctly remember posters on Texags stating as fact that the NIT championship was so important because the winner got an automatic berth into the real tournament the following year. 1 or 2 posters put it out there, and the other dumbshits that post on their basketball board accepted it as fact until a couple of other people gave them the sad reality. It was like a day or two before someone corrected them.
  17. I guess this is pre boob-job
  18. Clemson isn't a bad school. Now these guys may major in Underwater Basket Weaving for all I know, but shitty degrees are available at any state school.
  19. All things relative. And relative to the Bay Area, Austin housing prices are dirt cheap. Stanford is a fantastic school obviously, but unless you live in SF, the rest of the Bay Area is pretty uneventful. It's a concrete jungle, traffic is 10x worse than austin, and it's pretty boring.

  21. Richard was friends with a guy that lived on my floor at Dobie and used to come hang out in our room. He must have brought Richard over 6-8 times, and every time Richard would complain that he'd be starting if he'd had gone to Tennessee instead. The guy was not bright and was a complete fatass. He struck me as being completely lazy, but I never saw him on a football field.
  22. They might have won it and you didn't realize it. Check with TheFlyingBoat
  23. I would like to completely rescind my "this post did not age well" comment. The guy sold 2 houses in 1 year. It's time to recognize him for the hustler he is.
  24. I was on the road to a family gathering listening in the car. I believe that was the first time my son (3 or 4 at the time) heard me say the F word. As in "What the fuck are we DOING?!"
