    I prefer not to document my parents descent into paranoia and their journey to becoming openly and proudly racist.

    That was the beauty of MIL’s posts - they were the most mundane things and she inadvertently and invariably would type them out in verse form, so they read like poetry, but the subject matter was always stuff like the nice flowers you could get at Costco or whether anyone had any recommendations for garage door repairs. And she’d “like” her own stuff and respond to herself.

    When I was registering in person in the 80's, my dad had actually gone back to school as well.

    He already had a successful career with a string of Big and Tall shops.

    Anyway, the day of registration, I'm waiting in line with my buddy Derek.  Dad shows up and couldn't believe the lines, so he took matters into his own hands.

    He had his limo driver pose out front of the building with a sign that said Bruce Springsteen.

    Place cleared out quick....got into that Astronomy class!

    He beat Sark and Lanning twice. If those 3 guys are Klatt's top picks then DeBoer should be first of the 3 and put Bama in a good position to keep trucking. Especially if Saban sticks around to work the alumni. 

     

    I mean, context here matters. Beating the 2022 longhorns without Bijan and others isn’t really anything. Would we say Sark is clearly better if Mitchell had caught that last pass? Are we sure about how good he is without a QB in his mid-20s with freakish accuracy and first round WRs?

    Yep, I was reporting Live to my buddies flying in today and tomorrow on shit at Miami airport, landing at St. Thomas airport, time spent waiting for luggage at baggage claim/ bar serving drinks in plastic roadie cups at baggage claim, and ground transportation to local accommodations. (Mexican fell into the last group.)

     

    No humble brag yet. I am not standing in a Frenchtown hotel like my married friends, I am staying in a less-than ideal AirBnB in a convenient part of town (West Amelia)  that is near the cruise port.

    The first neighbor I saw when I arrived to the dilapidated building (that somehow looked better on AirBnB looked like he might charge me for a fight…

    …but backed down.

    But I peeked down through a window today and the cock look like he was waiting to start something.

    If any of my married friends arriving soon had booked this spot, they likely wouldn’t still be married by Valentine’s Day.

    The humble bragging will start tomorrow when I board the Sea Dream yacht as one of 110 guests of the “birthday couple” (Austin native girl/ Dallas native guy) as we take over the entire “yacht” for 3+ days & 3 nights as we dock around the British Virgin Islands on the hosts’ dime.

    1) what the fuck is a “birthday couple?”

    2) if my friend invited me to a goddamn birthday party (adult birthday parties, Christ) that required me to travel and be stuck on a boat for 3 days with a bunch of other people, and I actually had to go, I would get a crew together and give him the Full Metal Jacket treatment one night…

  5. Why is this always presented a a binary choice? Isn’t the most likely answer that they’re both great, and they both necessarily had to be great to accomplish what they did?

    Brady in 2001 wasn’t anything like what Brady became in later years. That team won it all on scheme and defense. In those early years, NE was thought of as a defensive team that was good enough on offense.

    And to Huck’s point - the SB losses to the Giants (and many other playoff games) were low-scoring games and, at least one of them required an improbable miracle play by the NYG to win it. (Conversely, they won a SB because the Seahawks threw a pass at the goal line despite having the best short-yardage RB in the league. Game of inches I guess.)

    You don’t do what NE did for 20 years without a great coach AND a great QB. It’s silly to try to dissect who gets credit for what.

    I remember some chud -- maybe it was Aaron Rogers, dunno -- during the lockdown went and tried to say that Fauci didn't know what he was talking about,

    And this, to me, speaks to the beauty of science and research - it is all there, the methods, the data, the analysis, the rationale. It is all laid out in black and white. It isn’t an editorial.

    As such, if you want to argue the science, have at it - but argue the actual science. Point out what you think is flawed in the actual science. That’s not what conspiracy kooks even try to do.

    Now, if you want to argue about how the science should be applied to society from a policy perspective- as is usually the motivation for people who make issues out of these things - that’s perfectly fine, and reasonable people can certainly disagree about this, because societies and cultures are incredibly complex.

    But don’t try to make your point by discrediting the actual science unless you can, you know, intelligently cite how the actual science is flawed, which means demonstrating that a whole bunch of really dedicated people all got something wrong in every paper that it relevant to a field.

    I remember some chud -- maybe it was Aaron Rogers, dunno -- during the lockdown went and tried to say that Fauci didn't know what he was talking about, and said something like "I've read like 5 books on the subject, more than most people" like those 5 books were supposed to be impressive.

    My roommate in college wound up getting the highest MCAT score in the nation, he was literally one of the brightest medical minds in the nation. Every medical school opened it's doors to him. That motherfucker *DEVOURED* books in college. Like, in addition to his text books, he'd just read everything he could get his hands on. In my time at Texas, I must have watched him read 200 books on general medicine.

    These people's "research" is a drop in a bucket compared to the actual research real medical professionals do. 5 books wasn't even a semester's load of work for my roommate, let alone something he'd hang his hat on as being an expert.

    Yeah. When defending your research in front of other researchers, you better know any and all important papers in the field inside and out, because they 100% will try to burn you with anything you found that may contradict something else (and you’d better have a good explanation about what may account for any discrepancy). You’ve got to know your stuff.

    Lol. Maybe he was just dejected that we lost generally. Maybe he didn’t like the play call. Maybe he didn’t like the OL failure, etc. You have no fucking idea what he is specifically thinking with that reaction.

    Yeah. And I mean…a guy who started for 4 years at Texas and then played for 14 years in the NFL may have seen something that the 20 year old kid didn’t? Is this supposed to be some indictment on QE? Christ.

    Good gravy. If this guy isn’t getting paid for this, he needs to find something better to do with his life. 

    It could be his job application…

    It’s truly their Achilles heel. They never choose to wait and see. They have to declare _____________ the greatest ever. 

    Yes, and then when a reasonable waiting period has transpired and the disappointing returns are in, they may backtrack a bit with the “greatest ever” talk, but will remain steadfast in their argument that whoever or whatever they’re talking about is still better than tu’s.

    This is how you get people who watched college football from 2002-2005 and concluded that Reggie McNeal was still better than Vince Young.

    She sounds like someone who dislikes women romancing each other.

    All I could ever think about, after reading that kid’s supposed opposition to women romancing each other, was the scene where Jerry (playing the part of the OU kid) tells George he’s not going to participate in the ménage, which George’s advice set into motion, and George (playing the part of Surly) is rightfully incensed and outraged…

    (Sadly I can’t find a gif for the best part of this exchange, where George yells at the top of his lungs, “ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?” J. Alexander nails the stunned/confused/outraged reaction there.)
