    We need some place to mock Tech for giving up a TD on the first play of the game. I heard Ole Miss was going to have a Shark as a mascot, but the thing is very odd. Not sure what the O/U on the tech game is but it probably was around 100. Look at Rice up 7-3 on Major's Coog High.

    We're seeing why North-East football is so feared. Those boys up there can play.

    WTF man, delay of game on the opening play of the season? wow.

    On the bright side, we didn't give up a TD on the first play of the season like Tech just did.

    It almost doesn't matter what happens on the first few drives.... Opening day jitters... Things will settle down

    Sobieski is a really good vodka for the price, but you need a better quality one for drinking straight. I'd suggest a Russian vodka called Imperia. Not everyone carries it though. It's expensive compare to other vodkas, but it's dirt cheap compared to high quality Scotch.

    This tread started in March and is still on Page 1 in August...surprising. The old Shag thread had 64 pages, with most people not pleased with Beck. Can he grow as a play caller? Can the Offense compete in the upper levels of the Big12? Are we doomed to another Shawn Watson type demotion? We find out soon enough. It would be great if the OC/play calling wasn't a problem, but I have no confidence in Beck. Fixing the play calling is more than Herman just vetoing a play here are there. Sadly, I think Beck remains a problem and this becomes the 'Fire Time Beck" thread.

    The problem with reading someone as good a Massie is my next book always seems like it was written by an hack in comparison. I just started Monash by Grantlee Kieza; supposedly an "award winning" author. It's.not.very.good.

    Just finished Dreadnought - Britain, Germany, and the Coming if the Great War. By Robert Massie. While it was incredibly insightful as to the politics and personalities that drove the world to war in the 75 years leading up to WWI, it does drag at times while digging into the childhood and upbringing of some of the major players. The 1000+ pages should probably have been edited down by a few hundred. That said, before reading this, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the causes of WWI, but most of what I knew, while not wrong, was a simplistic understanding of things. As always, history is rich and complex. I recommend it highly for anyone who is a history buffs.

    That is unbelievably bad. Painful even. It's like an wannabe Iron Butterfly band.

    I was in Bangkok a year ago, and 7-elevens were on just about every corner. I had no idea they it was such an international company... For what it's worth: http://corp.7-eleven.com/corp-press-releases/08-17-2016-7-eleven-celebrates-60-000th-store-opening-worldwide Asian Countries seem to love 7-11s more than we do.

    First game of the year is always hard...Picking a generic Texas win, but hoping for more and fearing less. Texas 24 Maryland 17

    Remember Strong's year-2... Everything was supposed to be better, even though we were keeping our sub-standard OC. It didn't work out well then, and I can't see it working out now. Beck isn't anywhere as bad as Watson, but really, nobody thinks he's one of the better OCs in the Big12. Maybe the days of us winning in spite of an uninspired OC will return under Herman, but we're not there yet. I'm in need of some Koolaid.

    It's a blowout ... it's lower level ball....but it's real football. My liver has been put on notice...Next weekend is the best day of the year.

    I voted 7-5, but I think, we're better than that. Sadly, I think we're going to lose a couple games we shouldn't because... ...Tim Beck is still our Offensive Coordinator Between Beck and Watson, I yearn for the days of GDGD.

    I signed up with energy ogre about 5 months ago as my Reliant contract was up. They switched me to a company I'd never heard of called called OurEnergy. I've already saved more than $120 over last years bills. ...Seems like this years has been much hotter (more AC) than last year. Well worth the $10/mo

    I'm lost, I admit it. I've been really heads down with work for the past couple week and haven't followed this story. When I google it, the articles just talk about "potential knowledge of a 2015 domestic violence claim" Can someone spell it out for me. 1) What was Meyers suspended for? As far as I can tell it was because he had (second hand?) knowledge that an assistant was involved in a domestic abuse case where there were no charges pressed? Was he a witness to it or something? What am I missing here? Did Meyers pressure the victim not to press charges? I'm not defending Meyer, I'm just not clear what he did (or didn't do) to get suspended.

    So all these book snobs want a 6'5" actor to play Reacher. Pretty much they all really want The Rock. Sorry, you can't have The Rock. But you can have one of these 6'5" actors to play Jack Reacher: Tyler Perry, Sinbad, Armie Hammer, Dolph Lundgren, Vince Vaughn, Tim Robbins, or Craig Kilborn. Suddenly Tom Cruse doesn't seem like such a bad casting decision.

    Austin FC

    0xdeadbeef replied to Bottlecap's topic in Futbol

    I really didn't think Austin was going to get this done. Look for the opposition to shift to lawsuit mode via some group like the SOS Alliance. I'm sure they're busy searching for their next Salamander or Golden-Cheeked Warbler. As for the name, I'd go with Austin Embiggen FC
