So you're saying my kid has a shot at going to college?

Usually the olds who don't trust using the app and are mad that they have to spend an hour in the store wading through fat people.

Just so y'all know what is going on and why I'm being the way I am. The tent set up for the whole season all 6 games and the 2 parking passes: 25,000 Season Tickets to giveaway at the tailgates for watch party guests: 1700 Food Budget for each game: SJSU - 500, UTEP - 850, SHSU - 1150 Halfway through the season and without the Florida Game we are at 29,200 in costs We've sold 41 season passes for ~4200 in Gross Sales. We've sold other walk up and stuff for ~3600 in sales outside of that. We had an incredible donation for 6000 at the beginning of the season from one of our users. So I'm out 15,325 right now with 3 games left. (would have been 21,325 without the donation) We were doing better than that last year when it was donation based and charging $40 for Georgia we cleared 9k. Vandy was supposed to be about 350 people @ 45 bucks. and food cost was going to be ~5k (10k back) Arky was supposed to be about 500 people (Georgia last year) @ 60 bucks with multiple whole hogs etc. food cost was going to be close to 9k with the budget for helpers, serving etc (21k back, finally in the money a little) TAMU was supposed to push as close to 1k as we can @ 65 or higher. Food cost was gonna push 10k with services and hired help etc. (50k back, rolled into tailgate fund) Even if we revise everything down to breakeven. Vandy 250 @ 35 food cost of 1875 ($7.50/head)- 6.875k net Arky 250 @ 35 food cost of 1875 ($7.50/head) - 6.875k net TAMU 300 @ 35 food cost of 2500 ($8.33/head) - 8k net I get that a bunch of you want a place to come and stay and be or whatever, but come the fuck on guys I'm working my balls off, losing a fuckload of money to do it and not enjoying Saturdays with my boy so that the people that do show up can have a good time? I'm fucking over it. Florida is still TBD, but it could be as bad as 25k loss on the day and as good as 10k loss That's roughly in the best case scenario 30k I could have spent doing WAY different shit for the website and the community or if I was a greedy guy I could just keep it for myself, but I don't treat the Surly pool as a pool for me. That's 30k we could have done in extra NIL deals, it's 30k we could send a group who would vlog an RV trip to away games. So yeah I get all of you want a tailgate, but unless you get fucking people to come to the god damned tailgate I'm not going to do it anymore.

I remember learning about that in college.

I have given this some thought and whew, boy, you have posed a difficult question. All I can come up with for matching academic and athletic futility is Rhode Island. But it's in a suburb of Providence so that's already better than Starkville. Fresno St?

Job hunting - A different kind of happy ending

Thanks! Anything helps at this point. -
Since Herbie is talking about it, it might be true. But I do have to admit, his take on refs is shit. My view on refs is they should be in the background and not part of the game. When they interject themselves every chance they get and make blown calls left and right, they absolutely need to be questioned on it, especially when there's clear bias (see OSU games in 2015 and 2022).

I've noticed construction has picked up on this place the last few weeks. There are some concept photos on their OpenTable site. https://www.opentable.com/r/lazy-lane-houston?fbclid=IwY2xjawNooapleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHndRKyGu9pSdWaWgVdUwXQN5nHB3U66ellM6m2x7b4RKZheqEUh_dFklncKI_aem_wB2jmK3J7G3-8nVg5dQqyw Looks like it will be relatively upscale. Carbonara, pork chops, tenderloin, old fashioneds....etc.

Yeah, it was a bad loss. Jok was off last night, though (and so were Braun, Murray and Johnson). And when he's off they usually lose. Hate to see them waste AG's career high. GS is so old there's no chance they make it through the season healthy. Horford, Curry, Jimmy and Draymond all playing 30+ minutes a night isn't going to last. And that assumes Jimmy decides he wants to keep playing there.

I was pretty shocked to hear Al Sharpton actually give a great message to the son during his sermon, on why he shouldn’t feel guilty about the murder.

Zero chance on planet earth that he only got a single enchilada...sure would be a shame if someone slipped some queso into that salsa right @Wulaw Horn

I did enjoy when a reporter attempted to ask him about his previous promises to not damage the building, and he pretty much said "Hey fuck you. You're an idiot and I can do whatever I want." (everyone nods along and moves onto a different subject)

we need to hire the hitting coach that can tell the guys - hit more hr's, strike out less and never swing at the first two pitches !

Maybe lack of gifts would be a good reminder to focus what Christmas is really about.

The remarkable thing about those Doritos Combinations is that it's the product of several weeks of brainstorming and marketing meetings by a dedicated group of mid-level executives at Frito Lay, when drunk college kids have been combining two different bags of chips in the same bowl for decades.

I can't believe this is a question I am asking in this life, but when was Seven Win Steve caught on camera, eating boogers? -

I'm just imagining 10-year-old me waking up Christmas morning and finding an empty tree, with my dad saying "Sorry, son. We can't do Christmas this year because the president is a shithead and we need to use the economy to send him a message."
