  1. This reminds me of watching my 8th grade head football coach die on the field right in front of me. He had just been hired away by a smaller school district to be their varsity head coach, so instead of doing offseason practice, we had a pick-up game of touch football. The QB threw the ball to him and one of the other coaches flew over to try and breakup the pass. He hit him hard in the chest and coach dropped to the ground. The other coach laughed and asked him if he was okay, and he kinda chuckled, got up and started to say "Ya, I'm okay" but he didn't even finish the statement before he dropped back down and let out a brief groan. The whole thing played out no more than 3 or 4 feet in front of me. They immediately started CPR and called and ambulance and everything, but he never regained consciousness again. Apparently he had an underlying heart condition and the impact just stopped his heart. That happened in 1985 and I still remember it like it was yesterday.
  2. CSB: The date on that is my dad's 50th birthday.
  3. In a surprise move, Fedora out at A&M Consol. https://www.kbtx.com/2022/12/02/lee-fedora-era-ends-abruptly-am-consolidated/
  4. I'm confused. How is Ok St out? We both have 3 losses and they have the tie-breaker over us (although they're currently being throttled by OU suck 28-0 in the 1st qtr). Why are they excluded already?
  5. He looks like a young W. C. Fields with Downs Syndrome.
  6. So apparently they will be using the instrumental version of some song called "Bonfire" by Childish Gambino (whatever the fuck that is). It's a good thing it's the instrumental , because the lyrics to that song are racist in every direction and offensive as fuck. I can just see the faces of all the old redass aggy if they accidentally played the lyrical version. My guess is that they chose it simply because of the song title.
  7. All of the Yankees bullshit talk about the roof being open perplexes me. They play in a stadium that doesn't have a fucking roof. They should be used to winds and other conditions affecting the ball.
  8. I think it's 3. The Astros have played 154 games and won 101. The Yankees have played 151 games so far and won 93. That means the most the Yankees could win is 104 if they won out. Since the Astros have the tie-breaker, they only have to win 3 more to get to 104 to ensure home field through the ALCS. But I'm pretty shitty at the maths so who knows?
  9. I would quit my job right fucking now for $10 million.
  10. Actually the reason that SHSU can't compete for the FCS playoffs is because as it's their transition year, they have upped their scholarship level to 85 like the rest of the FBS, instead of the FCS level of 63. That would give them a huge depth advantage over all of the other FCS teams if they were allowed to compete in the post season. Also, Sam is in the WAC, not the Southland Conference. The SLC kicked them and the other teams that were jumping ship out prior to last season, so they haven't been in the SLC for a while. Last year the WAC and the ASUN competed in an alliance because neither had enough football members on their own, so technically Sam won 2 conference championships last season. I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure they could play in a bowl game this season if they become bowl eligible and get an invite.
  11. This one is about 8 miles from my house. It's the third significant wildfire requiring aerial assistance out there in the past couple of weeks. My neighborhood is just off of a busy highway, with a greenbelt that's pretty much just a hay meadow separating the road and the houses. The hay was cut last week and hasn't been raked yet. I live in constant worry that some idiot on the highway is going to throw out a cigarette but and start a fire that races right up to one of the houses. Seeing this happen three times now does little to tame those worries. Holy shit we could use 6 or 8 inches of rain.
  12. Has anybody mentioned fuck OU?
  13. She was also hired by the city of Somerville as a police officer and they tried to keep it on the down low. Once the townsfolks found out they practically ran the entire police force along with the mayor and half the city council out of town. The former mayor is an acquaintance of mine and now he's out of politics working as a real estate agent in Dallas. Why anyone would hire her after everything that happened is crazy to me.
  14. Maybe he's talking about the 14 year old kid falling out of the ride in Orlando. It's horrible.https://www.reddit.com/r/ActualPublicFreakouts/comments/tnr44k/nsfl_14_year_old_boy_falls_to_his_death_on_free/
  15. Did he just say commentation-ary?
  16. Because I took something from one context and applied it to another. It's called irony.
  17. I've been here as long as there's been a Surly and was around for all of Shaggy too. I'm just not terrible active posting because people can be so bitch-assed about shit . I hit these threads for pretty much every game because most of you guys are pretty entertaining.
  18. Settle down Beavis. I spent my whole like not giving a shit about your feelings and I'm not about to start now. It was just a smart ass remark about the lack of effort tonight by the younger guys. Win or lose I'm not worried about this glorified scrimmage.
  19. Remember, winning too much isn't good for the kids.
  20. I'm hoping that soon we'll see her carrying Putin's head in a jar.
  21. Any day you beat LSU is a good day.
  22. This game felt a lot closer than 6-1.
