  1. Past hour
  2. The American Experience episode on the near disaster in Arkansas nuke missile site was something else.
  3. Interesting sound on NIN new single... gave me a Peter Gabriel vibe
  4. Billboard fund: Thanks be to the Spectrum for our South African Nazi overlord.
  5. Phil Fulmer. Lloyd Carr. Gene Chizik. Ed Orgeron. Jimbo Fisher. There are several mediocre coaches I'd take Mack Brown over when it comes to running a program that also won a national championship. Before Mack Brown came along I thought the administration might be indifferent to Texas football for the rest of my life. Whatever faults Mack Brown may have, he is one heck of a salesman. He galvanized the campus and got all the BBs in one box. The other candidate at the time was Gary Barnett, who was demanding autonomy from the athletic department because the environment was toxic and not conducive to a winning program at all. Which was true, but would not have created a long term healthy environment. And for all his faults he brought Vince Young to campus and gave us 2005. That Rose Bowl will forever be my favorite moment as a sports fan. Regardless of Mack Brown's faults, I do not believe that moment occurs with someone else in charge. In any case, he did make the decision to recruit Cedric Benson, even if it was reluctantly. He did eventually play him, and Benson had a great career. And Mack Brown did share a special story about Benson's grief after the Rose Bowl win against Michigan, when he voiced the tearful realization he would never put on the Longhorn uniform for a game ever again. There's a lot of things to like about Mack Brown. I can feel two emotions simultaneously. I can feel gratitude mixed with some irritation. If I don't share the gratitude I'm being churlish, and if I don't share the irritation I'm inauthentic, so I share both. I am sorry it caused the thread to be about Mack Brown versus being about Cedric Benson, but Mack Brown can be a polarizing figure on this board in some respects, and that's just the way it is. In any case, here's to you, Cedric Benson.
  6. I can fix her.
  7. We are watching a series called "What Went Wrong..." on Amazon Prime. So far, we've have only watched season 1. The premise is to cover various types of accidents or catastrophic events. Season 1 had 3 aviation episodes that include the Challenger disaster, Concorde Flight 4590 (very good), and MH370 mystery. Flight 4590 was doomed from the get-go. The first show for season 2 covers the Ramstein Air Show. Just looking ahead, it appears there are a couple more aviation mysteries in the future. Recommended.
  8. Me too. I would let them tag team me.
  9. It's still important that they try it.
  10. After my workouts I like to take a 15 minute walk around the neighborhood to kind of stretch out and decompress. This itme of year I'm usually sweating as much or more after my walk as when I was working out but not yesterday. Temp in the low 80's, cloudy and I actually cooled off instead of staying hot as hell.
  11. She tragically is one.
  12. Its not going to blow you away, unlike Waffle House patrons.
  13. Also prompts the question why Seiko doesn't just rotate the date wheel 90 degrees. Maybe understandable on commodity watches like 5s or 007s, but that's a $1500+ watch.
  14. One of those reporters screamed something at him about Sydney Sweeney being a republican. Why, I have no idea.
  15. Last Angel with a swing that sweet was Wally fucking Joiner.
  16. "Texas fans will be simultaneously upset that I called them annoying and that they are not ranked #1."
  17. I would probably still be playing casually if my account hadn’t gotten hacked and banned. Anyone tried Ready or Not?
  18. Maybe you Texans are different, but us San DIegans, we've got a name for cheese less nachos. We call the motherfuckers "chips".
  19. Signed, Nico. And Max. And Vettel. What a dumb hot take.
  20. Rose Garden passions running hot tonight.
  21. I recently bought a ZRC Grands Fonds, which has the crown at 6. Love not having a crown on 3 or 9 https://zrc1904.com/product/mn64-heterium-gf421613/
  22. Fucking great, we get Fried tomorrow too. If big Josh is still being a bitch, IL him & bring Freeman back. At least we know Joc won't be starting.
  23. Boooooooooooooooooo
