  1. If any team ever had motivation to go out and prove it on the field, it was them. The fact that so many players opted out means one of three things: 1 - they knew they couldn't win without their hurt QB. Or even with him. 2 - they didn't give a shit to prove the committee was wrong to leave them out. 3 - both of the above and they're a team of bleeding pussies. What was all the soapboxing about "if we're the last undefeated, we should be the champs" if most of the starters weren't even going to try? They would have been better off just rejecting the bowl bid and ending the season undefeated. Then they could at least (wrongly) proclaim they should have a share of the title - and probably would have gotten some votes.
  2. So basically.... Dallas. First time I was in Dallas (1990s) above 21 with a gf visiting her aunt and was going out to pick up food before coming back to watch the Cowboys game. She told me, "Pick up some beer, too." This was before cell phones. I didn't know it was a dry county. I thought it was weird that Kroger didn't have beer, but thought maybe the crappy neighborhood had something to do with it. Then the next grocery store didn't have beer either. Then several gas stations without beer. Eventually it became a mission to find beer no matter what. I got on 35 and got off every exit and looked around and then went to the next exit. The only reason I saw the liquor store was because cops were surrounding a car in the parking lot. Went in and got beer. That's when I was told it was a dry county and you can only get beer at liquor stores. Finally made it back to the aunt's house almost 2 hours later. Gf had been getting worried but was trying not to alarm elderly aunt. She knew it was a dry county but forgot to tell me I had to go to a liquor store. /csb
  3. It's better than those dumbasses who answer every question with "100%..." before answering.
  4. I'm driving. Wife is watching Love Actually (again) on her phone (I've never seen it and don't desire to). Wife: Did you know Rick Allen is in this? Me: What? Rick Allen? Her: You know - he was in Harry Potter. Me: Rick Allen? The drummer from Def Leppard? Her: I meant Alan Rickman. (Pause) You'd better not post this on that thread! Narrator: He posted it.
  5. Good thing they didn't use the understudy in Behind The Green Door.
  6. Some reddit posts that people were dropping their bags and running. And of course other people were grabbing those bags and running a different direction. I'm sure we'll hear about some stores losing merch. My friend sent me some crappy video she took while running out. Well, it probably isn't crappy on her phone, but the iPhone to Android conversion made it crappy.
  7. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/police-1-shot-at-barton-creek-square-mall/amp/
  8. Some reports on Reddit says it isn't a mass shooter event. Some people got into a fight outside the amc theater and someone pulled a gun and shot a couple times. At least one person hit because there was blood on the floor.
  9. Reddit automods keep shutting down "duplicates". Here's another thread with info: https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/s/x63YBI1HUT
  10. Some people there posting in this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/s/rnC55dWXxr Another thread with other info. Says it's not a mass shooter, but a fight in the food court and someone got shot: https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/s/evhJ0sa4vL
  11. Friend just called me. She was at Barton Creek Mall when people started running and yelling "Shooter!" She got out and says there are like 50 police cars and ambulances there now.
  12. I wouldn't be surprised to see Matt Rhule scrounge up some NIL money and make a play for him. They need a QB pretty bad.
  13. I just want to know one thing that I haven't seen yet - how is Penix when it comes to scrambling? Gabriel running is what got ou down the field quickly to take the lead at the end. Milroe had some big runs against us and his running has been big for Bama the rest of the season. If he's not a threat to break off a big run every once in a while, they're toast. Looking at the 2 Oregon games, he didn't run for shit. If we don't have to waste a spy for him, it should help in other ways
  14. Several local ladies in my neighborhood sell cookies, cakes, etc on Next Door and often sell out every week. If she can do these consistently well, she could easily make some money. Especially if she themes them to holidays, teacher appreciation, etc.
  15. Is this based on a certain number of touches? I'd think KRob moves faster at times.
  16. About 3 years ago we took a 34-day camping trip (with a couple hotels at certain spots) around all 13 of the continental western states (excluding Alaska) and 3 of those days were spent in Washington state. It just so happened that there was a major heat wave going on and it was 108° the day we arrived in Seattle. The entire fucking city shut down. Even the MEXICAN RESTAURANTS were closed! I was asking, "Have they ever been to Mexico?" In Texas, people would be sitting outside drinking Margaritas. They were like, "Yeah, but we're not used to it. You guys have air conditioning." Do you think we shut down if our air conditioning breaks? Nope. We open doors and windows and use fans. What I learned is that most Washington residents are pussies, and we're going to kick their ass. /csb
  17. The key to our offensive success might just hinge on how well our receivers block on those wide-receiver and TE screens. Block well, and we move right down the field. Block bad, and we're wasting possessions. Sanders, I'm looking at you. Also, Christian Jones needs to be spending the next 4 weeks learning how to not false-start.
  18. I think they were waiting to see if FSU's offense would improve in the championship game. We didn't know QB2 was out until close to the end of the week. If he had been in and they played much better than the week before, then they probably go in. Instead it was a shitshow. Maybe they play better with QB2 back for the post-season, or maybe it's still a shitshow. Too risky. So they got dropped a spot.
  19. So whose refs are we getting? I think Washington has probably capitulated letting the Big 12 ref our game. Big Asian population in Washington and Kevin Mar would be an instant ratings bonanza for them.
  20. Ok, assuming we're 3 and Bama is 4, where are we playing Bama for the title game? I don't recall where that game is held this year.
  21. Yes, which is why I was surprised to see them show that graphic AFTER the games were played and not mention "starting this morning, the odds were..."
  22. Fuck it. Eliminate Michigan for sign stealing. Washington Texas Alabama Ohio State
  23. Better. They should have mentioned when they showed the graphic that it was the odds ftom BEFORE the games. My bad.. No wonder it looked weird.
