  1. Past hour
  2. I hate him so, so, so, so.......SO much.
  3. His dad played high school ball in Indiana and has been a coach in Indiana at various locations. Maybe they didn't want to take him out of school once he got the job at Arizona. I don't know them personally or anything. I just grew up a fan of Arizona so it was interesting to see that we offered Jr. Maybe Sean Miller's connections in that region can give us a shot.
  4. That....is fucking AWESOME. Goddamn I love a jukebox. Just the other day on the way home, I got to thinking about one of my favorite Waylon songs: The Wurlitzer Prize (I Don’t Want to Get Over You). Truly one of the most clever, evocative songs out there. I still love hitting the Little Longhorn on an off day or afternoon, when there's no band, and you can pop a coupla songs on the jukebox. That's the good stuff.

  6. If at all possible, please make plain-text pasting the default setting, so that those of us who use dark mode don’t have to see a bunch of janky posts from carried-over formatting. Thanks.
  7. Some truth to this, for sure. But in the case of both Christians and Muslims, the fundamentalists seek and get more attention than the more devout and principled adherents. And potentially comprise a larger percentage of both religions. And, of course, one of the practical, if not theological, aspects of fundamentalism is a willingness to inject the religion into politics. Fundamentalism often IS politics.
  8. Rain, imo.
  9. Here’s my juke box. It’s heavy on crowd-pleasing classic rock and country
  10. This. Here's the TLDR version: stop trying to appeal to smart, informed people. They are too small a voting bloc to make a difference. You MUST win the absolute mouth-breathing idiot vote. That is the biggest voting bloc there is, and right now, they are under the spell of Trumpism. Promise them free shit. Promise you'll hurt their enemies. Send them free tit pics by text. Whatever it takes. Oh, and run a charismatic candidate that is willing to say all of those magic words at a middle-school vocab level, and/or use some Hollywood catch phrases. I'm dead serious, the most serious threats to Trump and Trumpism are people like The Rock, and McConaughey, and folks like that.
  11. The NFL must sign players for more than a few years to get them. They pay for time beyond the athlete's prime to secure part of their prime career. Therefore, their salary pool will necessarily be invested in guys who must only be capable of standing around the bench. College players cycle quickly. Ewers' portion of a limited salary pool becomes free immediately. That seems to be a profound difference from the NFL. It's my understanding from those in the know around here that Texas worked to establish a sustainable level of funds. Rather than believing we burn out and see decline, isn't it more apt to see the level of talent and potential talent assembled at any given time will be typical? The only thing that changes are the names. Further, I don't know shit about any of this. Maybe my premises above are incorrect. I'll add that recruiting nerds, such as all who post here, can't change their focus from the immediate and the minute. The program, to me, seems to be in a good place with every reason to believe that's where it will remain. There's my airplane. Shoot it down. I'll at least learn something.
  12. It's based on facts and data not emotion which you seem to struggle with. You're also acting like LSU stands to keep all of these guys that they currently have committed. Michigan and Texas both buttfucked their class last year. You're such a gaping vagina...
  13. I think Fantana is somewhat conflating New York Democrats with “liberals.” Yeah, a lot of liberals have some degree of anti-Muslim bias just because for most it’s still an “other” that they don’t have much experience with, but there’s nothing that your ordinary liberal loves more than to think they’re multicultural and tolerant so that limits it quite a bit. But a lot of New York Dems aren’t even liberal, they’re conservatives who happen to be Dems because in New York that’s the only real game in town. That leads to some confusion with New York liberal politicians as well who cater for those conservatives’ votes (I’m thinking Gillibrand here), but the real anti Muslim shit in New York isn’t coming from liberals.
  14. It seems to me that the primary bias that most American have, if they have one, is that they think of all Muslims as fundamentalist. Whereas they are willing to parse the hardshell and softshell Christians and make allowances to Christians who aren't fundamentalists, they don't give Muslims the same leeway, ant throw them all into one big batch. That's the problem. The other problem is conflating thoughts about religious beliefs with global politics.
  15. My grandfather started a vending business in the 70s and sold arcade games, pool tables, air hockey, foosball, crane machines, etc. Basically anything you put quarters in, he sold. We had a Galage (my favorite game ever), Ms Pac Man, a Cyclone pinball table, juke box, and a pool table at the house permanently. We also used to rotate in a few games and had Joist, Spy Hunter, Star Wars (fucking loved that game), Pole Position, Donkey Kong, Tapper, Frogger, etc... It was awesome. I used to have sleepover birthday parties at his warehouse and he would turn on about 50 arcade games and we'd drink all the sodas from the soda machine (which was mostly filled with beer) and play video games till like 2am. Pinballz seems to do everything this new adult Chucky Cheese arcade does. I love pinballz, but my only complaint is that my 9 and 11 year olds can blast through a couple $100 cards in less than an hour. I've still got an old 45 juke box. When friends come over we just turn that on and let people play whatever they want. I played about 1000 games of Street Fighter 2 at Crystal's, as I went to both grade school and high school across the street at St. Rita and Jesuit. Sorry we were all a pain in the ass. However, I did something similar when I worked at the TCBY at Preston/Forest in 1994/1995. I would leave all the frozen yogurt machines on when I closed. We would go see a rock show down in Deep Ellum where the age of admission at most of the clubs playing punk/indie shows was 16. We would go back to TCBY after the show and make gigantic sundaes and eat them with the WW2-vet security guard at midnight. That was kinda fun.
  16. But most observers of Judaism confine criticism of the Orthodox to that relatively small sect of the faith, so the criticism is more principled and limited. Fundamentalism in Christianity is more pervasive and even moreso in Islam. As legit as the criticism is, the baby gets thrown out with the bathwater. One thing, though, Judaism has almost always been a minority religion and lacked power. So its excesses have been somewhat limited and criticism considered unwarranted or unjustifiable, just like a lot of legitimate criticism of minority groups.
  17. so that’s the excuse we’re going to run with?
  18. If there was a president that ran and gave nothing but sports opinions and went on knowledgeable rants about all sports and pop culture stuff they would win. The DNC still lives in a world where they think people outside of the people who are already voting for them give a shit about policy. MAGA has legitimately no platform. Its just whatever hate and violence shit they come up with to distract people while they ransack everything. Sure a bunch of us have our eyes open, but the people everyone should be really trying to get involved or make a change for are the ones who love in an alternate reality where none of this impacts them or they want to ignore it etc.
  19. They don't have the Edge rushers we have on the roster. Their defense has been piss for a few years now.
  20. In my experience, you were either a Pole Position man, or a Turbo man. I was team Turbo. I rocked that shit. Man....I kinda wanna hit the arcade with my kid now. He'll be home in a month, sounds like a plan.
  21. Thank you for the heads up. I saw the Surly recommendations for this 2 years ago and was so impressed with it when I got it. I do the same as you. I read it and then give to my dad. It's great to have a discussion afterwards. I'm getting my son more and more interested in UT football now. It's going to be a great tradition.
  22. When LSU is back to blowing Texas and Florida out of the water on pay packages, something silly is going on with the money
