  1. Past hour
  2. My room was on the fourth floor, which was just the front part of the building, and my room faced the back alley rather than 21st Street. To move this thread back on topic, I doubt either of my kids will be going to UT or staying in Moore Hill. My 17yo daughter will get in but just doesn't want to go to UT, she really dislikes Austin, having had a couple of unsettling run-ins with homeless dudes over the past couple of years in the downtown area. And my 15yo son is... well... not motivated enough, to get in, I suppose.
  3. Preseason Rankings are posted. Singles # 12 Sebastian Gorzny #37 Jonah Braswell #54 Sebastian Eriksson #87 Oliver Ojakaar #99 Lucas Brown Newcomer Category #12 Lucas Marionneau #16 Mariano Dedura-Palomero Doubles #39 Lucas Brown/Sebastian Gorzny #46 Sebastian Eriksson/Oliver Ojakaar
  4. Kostyuk has choked away a few match points now
  5. Texans cuts so far: Blake Ferguson, Casey Toohill, Arthur Maulet, Trent Brown, Nick Niemann, Jalen Mills, Kedon Slovis, LaDarius Henderson, Irv Smith Jr. (sprained ankle, IR candidate). Brown is the only one that might be considered somewhat a surprise.
  6. My first thought was, "I really don't want Rupert Murdoch to have any more of my money, but I really want to watch football." Then I went to the Fox streaming site and I see Greg Gutfield's and Tom Brady's faces and I realized, "Maybe I don't need FS1 that badly." So if I put up some rabbit ears to get the main Fox station, what would I be missing without FS1 and 2? I looked at the college football schedule and there's no big games on either station for the first couple of weeks. If there is a big game, I might get the Sling one-day pass. I do want to watch the MLB playoffs, so maybe I'll get the Fox stream for just October.
  7. This was my experience as well. I was with 8 other guys and I was one of the smallest of the group, and I am not small. We basically ignored everyone and stayed together as much as we could. We had mixed seats and I was not in the Texas section. We had no threats at the game but a ton of shit talking. The worst was getting back to town from the game. Even the cops were constantly warning us to try to get back to the hotel as quickly as possible. The problem was that proved to be very difficult and we walked forever. I saw a lot of fights but almost all them were between Buckeye fans fighting each other. I did meet Kirk Herbstreit briefly after the game and he was cordial and friendly, whatever you think of him as a sports personality. I regret I am not going this year but most of my travel crew is dead or disbursed. This is not a game I would take the wife/girlfriend or kids to. Having the game at 11:00 should make a huge difference. I am jealous of those who will make the game but I am not jealous of having to deal with Columbus, at least as it was back then.
  8. Based on the re-modeling job the dotard has done, I would also be thrilled if he burned down the White House. I would be even more thrilled if he was trapped inside.
  9. Come on man make your damn bed.
  10. ou sucks venables is a meathead stoops eats dicks switzer can gargle my balls and choke ou sucks hook 'em
  11. FUCK OU I look forward to them trying to explain why their chode QB deserves the Heisman even though they went 7-5 and got absolutely mauled by Texas, Bama, and LSU. I also look forward to their new perpetual irrelevance. Go sit down next to Nebraska, you fucking losers. Also, fuck ou.
  12. I have an ultra-lite Poncho shirt that I'm happy with but I wasn't a fan of the regular weight fabric version (The 1969?) I had before that. I'd advise that their slim fit is a normal fit and their regular fit is a garbage bag fit.
  13. I hope that team is the disaster I expect them to be. I’m thinking 6-7 again.
  14. i don't care if they like it or not here's the reality when it comes to your school, ad, fans and media on the nightgame topic: (confirmation bias + cognitive dissonance) * 1/iq =
  15. when does it stop ??? it stops when dear leader says it stops
  16. Seeing how I work for LM, I feel attacked.....
  17. Fuck yes it's here. The Cyclones and Rainbow Warriors were a fun amuse bouche but it's time for the real deal. I will be in Vermont for a dreaded fall wedding, but thankfully the ceremony is on Sunday. Anyone know a good place to catch a game in Burlington? Thursday #25 Boise State (-6.5) @ South Florida (5:30 / 4:30 ESPN): The only ranked team on Thursday is Boise State, which is in solid position to run back their Playoff run. It starts in Tampa. Unfortunately, USF is still playing in an oversized NFL stadium until 2027: https://www.usf.edu/stadium/ East Carolina @ NC State (-14) (6 / 7 ACCN): A very underrated level of hate between the two bottom rungs of North Carolina's "The Lowells speak only to the Cabots and the Cabots speak only to God" ladder of rivalries - ECU's biggest rival is State, whose biggest rival is UNC, whose biggest rival is Duke. (Wake Forest is just happy to be included, while App State's biggest rival is Georgia Southern for some reason.) Fun features of the Battle for the Victory Barrel: State graciously allowed ECU to use their field for a 1999 "home" game after Hurricane Floyd. ECU upset #9 Miami, tore down the goal posts, and trashed the stadium. In 2022, #13 NC State ground out a putrid 21 - 20 win in Rowdy Dowdy after ECU's kicker missed a winning field goal AND a tying extra point. I was there, it was approximately a billion degrees in the stands, and both fanbases were completely miserable. And last year's Military Bowl ended with an ECU win and brawl between the teams. No love lost! Nebraska (-7) @ Cincinnati (9 / 8 ESPN): Two coaches with sharply differing storylines this year. Matt Rhule's Huskers have some real hype this year as a dark horse Big 10 contender. Meanwhile, no one quite knows why Scott Satterfield still has a job in Cincy. Should be a good barometer game for both teams. Friday Western Michigan @ Michigan State (-20.5) (7 / 6 FS1): One of the MAC's best programs makes the short drive from Kalamazoo to East Lansing. Jonathan Smith looks like a good coach, time to show some improvement with Sparty. Auburn (-2.5) @ Baylor (8 / 7 FOX): Yeah, it's a potentially bad night if you're relying on YTTV. Hugh Freeze has the talent together (including the best QB room in the SEC if you listen to some of Auburn's more deranged fans), but Dave Aranda seems to have turned the ship around at Baylor. Fascinating matchup in terms of two teams with high deltas for this season. Georgia Tech (-4.5) @ Colorado (8 / 7 ESPN): The Sanders boys are gone (and Deion made it through cancer treatment), so the Kaidon Salter era begins in Boulder. The Ramblin' Wreck are ACC contenders in Haynes King's final year, this should be a great litmus test for both teams. Brent Key has done a really nice job in Atlanta so far. Central Michigan @ San Jose State (-11.5) (10:30 / 9:30 FS1): Well, if you're starting your Big Noon pregame really early... Saturday Early Games #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State (-2.5) (12 / 11 FOX): The Texas front seven has Sayin seeing ghosts. Arch manages the game well enough to win. We're all happy for a month and a half. #24 Tennessee (-13.5) vs Syracuse @ Atlanta (12 / 11 ABC): Not the most compelling counterprogramming, made even worse by being in an NFL stadium. Blah. Toledo @ Kentucky (-7.5) (12:45 / 11:45 SECN): It's an SEC team coached by a Stoops brother on upset alert against a spicy MAC team. This could be really funny. Old Dominion @ #20 Indiana (-23.5) (2:30 / 1:30 FS1): Hell yeah OOC Curt Cignetti scheduling! Nah, just kidding, don't watch this. Mid-Afternoon #8 Alabama (-13.5) @ Florida State (3:30 / 2:30 ABC): Bama is probably underranked, and I don't know how Mike Norvell gets the team back on his side after last year's catastrophe. The Tide should roll. Nevada @ #2 Penn State (-44.5) (3:30 / 2:30 CBS): God, this mid-afternoon slate sucks. The downside of spreading the games out all weekend. Hopefully Jeff Choate gets his guys out of State College with minimal injuries and avoids the general Central PA malaise / ennui. Montana State @ #7 Oregon (-27.5) (4 /3 BTN): Now, look, Oregon is going to win this. But the Bobcats are perhaps the best team in the FCS and Dante Moore is not the most inspirational starting QB. Here's hoping for some hijinks. Primetime UTSA @ #19 Texas A&M (-24.5) (7 / 6 ESPN): The Aggies think they're going to stomp a senior-laden G5 team that matches up well to their weaknesses. This has happened before, and it is not comfy for A&M. #9 LSU @ #4 Clemson (-3.5) (7:30 / 6:30 ABC): A popular national title pick in Clemson takes on the coach that can't win a season opener. Cade Klubnik finally looks like the QB announcers acted like he was for four years, Nussmeier is still the incarnation of "yeah, he's fine", and the home crowd at the superior Death Valley should be ferocious. Georgia State @ #21 Ole Miss (-35.5) (7:45 / 6:45 SECN): Ole Miss is a bit of a mystery this year. Kiffin might operate better without the bright lights and pressure of massive preseason hype. How will Austin Simmons look as the starter? Will the defense be worth a shit? We probably won't learn much this week. Late Hawaii @ Arizona (-17.5) (10:30 / 9:30 TNT): The nation's sweethearts travel to Tucson. Will Micah Alejado's leg be healed up or will he finally be dealt his first loss? Utah (-6.5) @ UCLA (11/ 10 FOX): Jesus, this is cruel scheduling for a fun OOC matchup. Pac 12 After Dark spiritually lives! Utah felt like they were better than their record last year, and are finally out of the Cam Rising era. Nico Iamaleava makes his big UCLA debut after already showing his whole butt on Twitter. Sunday Virginia Tech vs. #13 South Carolina (-7.5) @ Atlanta (3 / 2 ESPN): Oh good, where we really wanted to watch LaNorris Sellers and Dylan Stewart play was in a 2/3 full NFL stadium. At least it led to this fantastic jersey reveal: #6 Notre Dame (-2.5) @ #10 Miami (7:30 / 6:30 ABC): Catholics vs. Convicts is back! The national title odds drop precipitously between #9 LSU and #10 Miami, so let's see if Cristobal, Mendoza, and the Canes can battle their way into the conversation against a very strong Notre Dame team led by Lloyd Carr's grandkid. Monday TCU (-3.5) @ UNC (8 / 7 ESPN): Welcome to Chapel Bill. Belichick (and Jordon Hudson?) will lead out the Tar Heels in a tricky first matchup against the Hypnotoad. Should be a really fun crowd at one of college football's most beautiful venues for one of the most hyped football games in the Triangle in years.

  18. Currently considering: Talarico- it’s not clear he wants it. Joaquin Castro- the political equivalent of “Free Beer Tomorrow” Beto- is Beto Possible Dark Horse- Bill McRaven
  19. I was in Moore Hill (3rd floor in the back section) Fall 1989-Spring 1990. Rumor had it that the room across the hall from me had been Tom Landry's back in the day. What about you gentlemen? As for decor, I had a poster of a scene similar to this and this, but a red one
  20. Whoever built my house wired it for Cat5. So I have junction boxes just about everywhere except where I need it at the moment. As I mentioned above, a $40 preamp solved all of my reception issues, but I didn't bother running anything over coax. But if you're just running to your HDHR box, I don't see how distribution would be an issue. But my understanding of MoCA setups is pretty limited.
