  1. Setting up for a granny gangbang record it sounds like.
  2. I've done that with my IWC. It dominates over everything else but this Overseas just blows me away. I'd probably keep the IWC as the everyday wearer at the office. Fucking love the brown dial though. They don't have it though so haven't seen it in person.
  3. Speaking of Centennial. I hit up Centennial Liquor there on Guadalupe during halftime of the Notre Dame game in 1996. Smuggled in a handle of Jim Beam. In the bottle. I'm guessing its a little more difficult to smuggle in liquor these days.
  4. https://www.vacheron-constantin.com/en2/watches/overseas/overseas-chronograph-5500v-110a-b147.html hmmmm Checked out the blue yesterday and its just amazing but I think I may prefer the brown. https://www.vacheron-constantin.com/en2/watches/overseas/overseas-chronograph-5500v-110a-b148.html Also thinking I'm nuts for considering this.
  5. I'm coming around on this somewhat. I really like this album. It just should not be The National. Once you set aside the name of the band, it really has some great songs.
  6. It's a mess and I haven't watched it in years other than occasionally checking in to see if they talk about Texas. Someone basically stated it above, but ESPN:Sports = MTV:Music. Ain'tNobodygottime.gif
  7. The problem is it isn't about sports, its about making "reality TV". I think this is due in part to attempt to make the network more desirable for women viewers, and also because that's just the trend in network programming. The sports is real enough. Most of the programming isn't about showing sports action/breaking down sports action, its about creating drama. If I watch sports, I want to watch sports. Maybe an occasional human interest story, but stay focused on the goal. Provide sports and sports analysis. Politics needs to be kept out of it. ESPN has enough programming for 1 24-hour channel. They have so many channels they have to fill them all up with shit. It's like 24-hour news. There's only so much interesting content. The rest is shit. If games overlap, provide a streaming option. People are too busy to spend time watching shit and they don't want to pay for shit. Give me a 1-hour SportsCenter. A one-hour Gameday. Actual sports content that I care about watching. One-hour show of reasoned analysis. I'd take that channel. The rest is fluff and people are tired of paying for the remaining 99% of shit.
  8. Re: Bash Brothers This is thirty minutes of my life that I'll never get back. And there will probably be at least another 15 or 20 times I won't get those thirty minutes back. Pretty great is selling that short.
  9. Tiger definitely faded. But his first 12 holes were pretty great. Easily could have been 9 under through 12. Cantlay's round was on another level. Just rock solid play even after he had the lead and a hell of a comeback victory. Jordan putted pretty great today to make up for a lot of loose shots but overall his game certainly seems to be getting back to where he can compete in the majors. Good to see, but I wish he had a different demeanor on the course. Adam Scott's game is on point.
  10. And he's missed two birdie putts of less than 10 feet.
  11. Baseball screwed the pooch and changed the format. Texas got screwed two years because of this. Flip those years and Texas wins both titles based on the format. They lost both. But golf and baseball are different sports. I really like the format now in NCAA golf. You prove your team is good, then you check the mettle of the individual players in head to head combat. Golf is an individual game, so show what you can do as an individual when someone is right there matching you shot for shot. Its much easier when your score may/may not count because your team is full of badass golfers and you are 20 strokes in the lead. Its much different head to head and you have a one-shot lead going into the final hole.
  12. Agreed to some extent. But having played a bunch of tournaments in my past, its a different game with Match play vs. Stroke. And not to take anything away from OSU and their overall excellence, but making golf a one on one matchup is fun. You have to beat your opponent and now its not just you against yourself, but you against someone else. Its an added challenge. It isn't for every tournament, but for the NC, you need to face off against your opponent and I like this format. Prove your team is good. Prove your players can stand up to the challenge.
  13. I tried for a long time to make this my gif/avatar on the old site and could never get it to work. My favorite as well.
  14. Definitely a tough loss but they just outplayed us today. Future looks bright.
  15. It's a nice looking course. Greens roll fine, but just interesting how many putts are off on distance which makes me think they are inconsistent.
  16. You are right. Brainfart on my part.
  17. Trees in the middle of the fairway. Bunkers in the middle of the fairway. False edges on greens which over penalize anything less than really good shots. Greens seem inconsistent, although that could just be horrible putting. That would be my main issues.
  18. Gotta hope for some choking from Shimp.
  19. I think that's right. Btw, this course is a terrible design. Pretty much what I would expect from Arkansas.
  20. As noted above, this is incorrect. In fact, it came down to 18 and part of the reason JS won was that JT nearly whiffed a chip shot in heavy rough. I think Jordan made a longish putt too to close it out.
  21. Played as the final song for my wedding reception and several of my buddies too. Funny it's not even the 2nd best cover on that album. Two Girls is better. Ziggy Stardust is the best. Went down a rabbit trail last night and just amazed at the quality of music they produced for so long. Saying that as someone who already considered them one of my top 5 bands. If you like Jimmy, check out Clocker Redbury & Dusty Slosinger. Greatness.
  22. Matt singing this entire album would be pretty incredible. I love the songs. His voice is an instrument and they've taken that away here. Why is he backing someone else? Make another band if you want to do that.
  23. And that isn't meant to say I hate female singers. Just doesn't fit.
  24. Hate the female vocals. Great Album. Weird dichotomy. I literally hate the female vocals. I love the lyrics.
