  1. Do you guys get Big Grove in WI? Their Easy Eddy has lapped Psuedo Sue for Iowa’s best IPA, Imo. Cyber Sue is decent, but I’m not that jazzed about it

    Kayaking

    Got out on the classic Upper Iowa run for the first time in a couple years. Damn near perfect except for recent rains muddying things up
  3. Micro-penis energy notwithstanding, this is simply a weird response to a post about the logical extension of devaluing CCGs.
  4. If you kill conference championships, then you need to kill conferences altogether.
  5. I think if Boise was that valuable of a TV draw, the Big 12 would have jumped all over them. My guess is that the value they added to the TV contract was basically the same as the schools that added, and the geography was farther (more expensive travel) with less opportunity to recruit local talent. I realize that Boise's academics are a problem for a lot of people, but I don't think they're the reason the Big 12 post UT/OU passed them over.
  6. In the words of Waylon, "if we all sounded like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones"
  7. You’ve built a strong case, but I still prefer the albums without him to the albums with him. Mick, Bill, and Charlie make Under My Thumb for me, personally. I like the way the guitar weave sounds with Keith and Mick Taylor or Woody better. I like the songs better. I like the riffs better. I like the production better. This is just purely subjective on my end, but in no way do I wish Brian Jones had stayed with the Stones any longer than he did.
  8. If the Pac 12 had reached out to the Irate 8 (likely sans Baylor because religion) they could have absorbed KU, KSU, ISU, TTU, TCU and OK St and survived in the space the Big 12 occupies today. They wouldn’t have to fly all the way across the country and play most of the schools they’ve always played. But West Coast elitism won the day. They couldn’t associate with prairie trash. Although USC may be more responsible for that decision. AZ and CU wanted to bring them in.
  9. Marto Brewing slams and goes hard. Bob Roe’s wings fuck. They have some good mountain bike trails by flatland standards. Thats all I got.
  10. I loathed that town for a lot of years. 2 awful ex gfs, and 2 awful roommates/former friends came from there. The Sewer and I have made peace since then, and it’s improved a ton since the early aughts. But I’m about the last person one would need to explain leaving that town to.
  11. I don’t think that’s why Boise was left out of the Big 12. The 3 G5 schools that got called up are in major media markets that are also recruiting hot beds. Boise isn’t that big of a market, and does not produce much high school talent.
  12. It went from 85 to 40 in about 16 hours
  13. I’m sort of opposite. The older I get the less I care for Brian Jones. IMO the only thing they lost with Brian Jones was a raging fuckhead who wanted to make Beatles-lite sidebars. They became the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World when he exited. It might be cliche, my top 3 are some order of Exile, Sticky Fingers, and Let It Bleed with Beggar’s barely missing the cut. Some Girls would round out the Top 5. Hell, I listen to Black & Blue more than any (real) Brian Jones album. I know he’s technically on Beggar’s and Let It Bleed, but barely.
  14. The Stones run from ‘68-‘72 was the pinnacle of rock and roll for me. Every halfway decent rock album since has borrowed something from this window.
  15. You would actually nut if that happened.
  16. I’m coming around on Pete. I’m torn between thinking that this country just wouldn’t elect a gay man, but he’s just killing it lately.
  17. I’ll put an absolute hurting on some Leine’s grapefruit shandy.
  18. I almost feel like ZB is intentionally behaving out of control to set up the sober album. The “Southeastern Effect” if you will.
  19. Moreland has a habit of shit talking more successful artists, and sometimes in ways that show an extreme lack of self awareness. Picking a bar fight with Kyle Nix of Turnpike and then calling him a “midget” comes to mind. ZB has been increasingly shown to be an immature jealous dude-bro that generally treats people like shit and acts like he’s untouchable. Videos of him being a huge asshole in an NYC bar, his ex’s whole story (which I don’t entirely buy), and now Moreland’s allegations (which are consistent with the other things). Moreland is Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons. Bryan is generic spoiled celebrity. I don’t think I’d want to hang with either, even though I like both of their music.
  20. I wouldn’t go that far, but certainly on that spectrum. Ryan Adams was a complete piece of shit when he was nobody. My understanding of ZB is that his success has turned him into a shithead.
  21. I’m a little more careful with something that has raw egg but not much. When you’ve lived out of a lunch box for long periods basically throughout your entire life, you just get pretty inured to bacteria.
  22. Leftover brats in the field. Threw some Swiss on top, mustard, and banana peppers. Let it sit in a Pyrex container in my black metal lunch box all day, and the heat baked the cheese a little.
  23. “Communion, er no?” slayed me.
