  1. Elton's great on piano, but he sucks on the organ.
  2. AI is good, but NYT put their thumb on the scales for this one. In the original post #'s 8 and 9 are listed as real, but I'm pretty sure they've been run through an AI image enhancer that smoothed the skin. #3 is all kindsa fucked up, and it's supposed to be real. The eyes are shifted to the right. Check how much further the eye on the right sticks out over the mouth than the eye on the left. The nose and mouth appear to be from a straight on "mug shot" type photo, but the head and jawline look almost 3/4 "portrait" style. This is not to rag on the capabilities of AI, but if you run a photo through a program like Topaz AI, you are dealing with something that doesn't neatly fall into the category of real or AI. It's a little bit of both.
  3. They did make one change. Put a hole in the top of the cap cause dumbasses kept sucking on the cap and getting down their windpipe.
  4. Apparently, you were right and I was wrong. I didn't think he'd be able to pass up the bucks.
  5. Drew has to take the Kentucky job. It's more pressure, but the NIL money and network contracts with the conferences are too much of an advantage to pass up. He'll probably double his salary, also. Even if Baylor offered to match salary,(doubtful, since the only reason Aranda is still there is because the BMDs didn't want to pay his buyout) the admin sat on their hands and got years behind on NIL. Drew was always a good recruiter, but recruiting is now more transactional than persuasive, he's going to get better players at Kentucky. There are two drawbacks for him. His family has been raised in Waco, and the pressure is intense at Kentucky. He stays at Baylor, he gets a statue when he retires. He'd have to miss the tournament several years straight to look at getting fired. At Kentucky, his last two years of going out in the second game of the tournament would have rumblings going on about him being fired.
  6. That hits a little too close to home. Deep, seriously deep.
  7. Nobody knows for sure, except the people that were in the room. Story I got was that she wanted the new arena on campus between the Ferrell Center and the baseball/softball fields, and I know she made several public statements on that. There was serious money (the Foster Pavilion was over $200 million) from City of Waco & Investment groups to put it on the other side of I-35 for part of downtown renovation. Supposedly, she pissed off some of the money people at the meetings with her antics, & Rhoades figured with Drew winning a national title they could afford to part ways with Mulkey. I never heard that Rhoades was deferring to Drew, but I had heard that Mulkey did stuff like demanding the women's team get first pick at practice times, etc. I could see where that would seem strange to Rhoades, coming from another college. As far as the stuff about her bitchiness goes, yeah, she doesn't get any nicer away from the microphone.
  8. For some reason, your post reminded me of the old sportscaster, Vic "the Brick" Jacobs, who was on KTVV (now KXAN.) You had to have been in Austin quite a few years ago to remember Vic throwing foam rubber bricks at the camera. Anyway, on to something vaguely related to the thread. Baylor folks are still pissed that Rhoades ran Mulkey off. When LSU won the national title, somebody put a billboard up next to campus with her picture, LSU, and "National Champions" on it. Only things I heard on her at Baylor was she was a stone cold bitch, constantly ran over budget, and regularly threw tantrums during meetings.
  9. True story: I went to a McDonald's and bought a meal that was $5.37. Gave the girl a ten and reached into my pocket and pulled out .37 cents. She'd already entered $10 into the register. She looked at me blankly. I said, "Just give me two fives and a ten." She started getting it out of the register. I had to stop her, and explain it was a joke, and to just give me a five.
  10. You sure? They were never the same after what Dino did to them.
  11. The quote was cut off when I replied. The original comment was: I never wear a cowboy hat indoors. Baseball hat indoors, depends.
  12. Formerly, he was named Sneed.
  13. Riding in the back of the pickup. That's the big one.
