  1. I’ve liked Fralins better than stock Gibson P90s. I wasn’t impressed with Lollars. Just my opinion.
  2. I feel pretty confident we are going to win this game unless the SJSU coach employs the Caucasian nickel defense in the 2nd half. 5 white walk on dbs that will confuse Arch as to where he should throw the ball.
  3. Arch QB rating Targeting white players: +578357.0 Targeting black players: -58338.0
  4. I would like to go on record saying that Ewers would have self sacked for a 47735 yard loss on that last play.
  5. Hey, we may not be good enough to hang with SJSU, but at least Tre Wisner has 488337883 lbs of bling. #winning.
  6. Not much to tell, really. As a dude in his mid-50s, I find it easy to overplay if I don't warm up and gradually get into a session or gig. I sit for a living, so posture is generally an issue, and put a 10lbs weight around my neck pulling me forward and it doesn't take long before I'm feeling it in my lower back. So I have a little stretching routing I do before any session. Mostly upper body stretches (hand, arm, neck, back), and some warm up finger/picking exercises I do to get things going. I'll avoid the tunes that really require an effort until later in a set. I have back stretches I do nightly for the lower back. I find all this helps a good bit to avoid feeling like I've "overplayed." Arm fatigue, tingling, pain. If I ever feel any of that, I'll let my arm rest a week and it goes away. I don't gig a lot, 4-6 times between Memorial Day and Labor Day , so it's not a big thing to deal with the physical limitations in that context. Most of my playing is writing/recording, and that's where I'm finding myself impacted if I don't adhere to these routines.
  7. Proper warm up and posture is pretty fucking important, more so as you get old and decrepit like me.
  8. They are getting more and more Whiggish by the day.
  9. Steven Hawking has really let himself go.
  10. Big keyword there is "trying". It is a very badass track, and was a lot of fun to be a part of. Thanks!
  11. I really appreciate being involved, it was a very inspiring piece of music to have as a canvas.
  12. Not just them, but you (the proverbial you), too. No one of any ideological leaning is exempt, unless you make the conscious decision to ignore the shit you can't verify or do anything about and focus on your proximal life and the things you can directly affect. If people of any ideologically zealous position show up on my property looking for trouble, they'll find it. Until then, hell, let's have a look at Tay-tay's bridal registry.
  13. An angry, afraid and stupid populace is a manipulable populace.
  14. Why the fuck are we not talking about a President from one political party deploying federal troops to cities in states controlled by the opposition party to intimidate its populace and usurp the lawful authority of duly elected local governance and law enforcement? Fuck all this Epstein pedo shit. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not, but there is no way we'll ever know definitively one way or the other. But what we do know, definitively, is that the President from one political party is deploying federal troops to cities in states controlled by the opposition party to intimidate its populace and and usurp the lawful authority of the duly elected local governance and law enforcement. The only people more manipulatable than Trump are all the people who abhor who he is and everything he stands for.
  15. Best prediction, imo. I don't see SJSU scoring a touchdown. We are a work in progress on offense, and not super explosive, so I think we will somewhat methodically kick the shit out of them. However, I am a shitty prognosticator, so... This is probably more correct. Arch pulled for a walk-on at halftime.
  16. Don't accept a drink from you under any circumstances?
  17. *pulls pin and counts to 3* So what are Arch’s chances to still win the Heisman? *runs for cover*
  18. Through 3 quarters that was an offensive game plan you use against Rice the week before the OU game. It couldn't have been more vanilla. The only thing daring (stupid?) was going for it every 4th down. After we went down two touchdowns, Sark started opening it up, we moved the ball and Arch looked better if not exactly good. I am not excusing Arch, he was objectively shitty, but we might win that game if Sark had made those changes at halftime, or actually went into the game trying to be aggressive on offense. I mean, for as ugly as it looked on offense, we lost by 1 score. I still think this outcome might be the best case scenario for this team. They were picked to win it all, Arch was going to win the Heisman and be drafted #1. There was no where to go but down with those expectations. Hell, there weren't those expectations for Texas the year VY won it all. USC had those expectations on them with all the senior talent and multi-year starters at key positions like QB -- and they didn't live up to them, either. There was no way this Texas team was going to run the table with Arch playing at a Heisman level every game as basically a sophomore with 2 starts against mediocre teams. Now no one is going to put microphones in the player's faces asking them how they feel about being #1, or the Heisman favorite, yada yada. All that shit detracts from the development this young team needs to go through to be something close to its potential. I think we've seen Arch's worst game, and I think we'll wind up being very, very good by the end of the year.
  19. I think we will be ok. This team and especially Arch were the subject of ridiculous expectations. There is no way they could have been met without a first year starter doing what only 3 people have done in the history of college football: finish #1 with a national championship, win the heisman and be drafted #1. Well, that pressure is off Arch and this team now, and they can hopefully develop “normally” without the ridiculous hype. We were 1-5 on 4th downs, +4 in penalties (2 providing first downs on their first scoring drive), and +1 on turnovers with really poor play from our QB and we lost by a touchdown on the road to #3. I think that bodes well for being able to tighten things up over the rest of our non-conference schedule and finish strong. I will be pretty surprised if this does not prove to be Arch’s worst game of the year.
  20. Arch sucked today. The guy people predicted would lead Texas to a national championship, take home a heisman and be drafted first overall before he had any meaningful experience had a shitty start to the season. He had nowhere to go but down and he went down hard, like it was his first day in prison. Today’s Arch would have lost to last year’s GA and Ohio State’s teams. He’d have an 0-3 record against them just like Ewers did. As it is, he’s 0 and 1 against elite competition in his young career. It will be interesting to see where he’s at in November against GA after he has had some time to develop without the ridiculous expectations.
  21. Most realtors I know are people who want to be entrepreneurs but don't have much to bring to the entrepreneurial table other than a desire to be entrepreneurs.
  22. This deserved to be repeated. The leadership we have at the national level has had to pass the test of public scrutiny and acceptance at multiple levels over more than a decade. This is what the U.S. has said it wants. Repeatedly. Over and over, prevailing attitudes in myself and on these forums notwithstanding. Its a really interesting time to be alive. The context of the times gives rise to all sorts of philosophical quandaries, such as: if a majority of people in a democracy want to end democracy, is it tyranny to force them to live under continued democracy?
