    I've been going to South by San Jose for a few years.  I rarely recognize any of the bands, but they usually have a few solid performers each day, and I still enjoy the South Congress vibe during SXSW, especially if the weather cooperates.

    I'll probably only make the Friday show next week.  Houdmouth is playing.  I've seen them a couple times and they're pretty good.

    Steve Gunn, also playing Friday, is the real deal.

    lol Ian is so dug in on Card.  

     

    Sark could evaluate Card and Thompson in nothing but practice scenarios for 80 months and still land on Card, but the thing about all that is there's no way to simulate and then know how a QB will respond to the type of environment he faced on Saturday until he actually does. Hall of Fame practice player, and all that...

    Sometimes I wonder if there’s a more chilling truth and that a lot more people have experienced it than we’re aware of and just figure it’s a fact of life so just suck it up and deal with it.

    "Bo said, ‘Toughen up,” Kwiatkowski said. “Bo knew.”

    It doesn't excuse Bo, but it does make sense he might've been a victim himself.

    If you are hit with a hardship (of any kind) and your way to make it through the subsequent struggle was to "toughen up" and "play through the pain", then you'd probably dole that advice out to others you see going through the same experience you did.

  4. RIP. Some very early memories of my parents watching the LD miniseries when it came out back in the day. Didn't think too much about McMurtry again until being re-exposed to him in Don Graham's (also RIP) excellent Southwest Lit class at UT.

    Sophomore year at Southwest Texas State University (1986) Larry McMurtry came to Al's English class to read a few chapters of Lonesome Dove.  He and the lady Professor were friends and was there to share his novel with her classes.   This was a Thursday class so it ran an hour and a half, I stuck around for the next class because the few chapters he read wasn't enough.  He did allow for questions afterwards and was engaging with the students, this was all in a classroom that fit no more than 30 students in Flowers Hall.  One of the better 3 hour learning blocks in young Al's undergraduate education.

     

    Speaking of SWT, there used to be a really cool collection of Lonesome Dove set pieces, scripts, and other random collectibles on display on the top floor of the library as of about 6-7 years ago. No idea if it's still there or not but seem to think it was a permanent collection.

    Texas SUUUUCKS!!! Enjoy that L, baby! Entitled d-bags thinking you own the world. Go ahead and drop millions to fire this coach and hire another one, too. Hahahahahahah

    Y’all are hot garbage. Thanks for my entertainment for the night!

    Guy's probably just butt hurt about a couple of walk-ons that fucked his girlfriend back in '97 or something I'm guessing.

    Anyone have any advice on sprinkler backflow preventer/lines/valves for this upcoming freeze? 

    Bump.

    Was wondering the same thing myself. My backflow preventer is in the ground (appears to be a double check assembly) and this is different from 99% of any youtube sprinkler winterization advice/instructions.

  7. Looking really briefly at Keontay's Twitter comments to his announcement and I'm reminded how the type of people who hate on or talk shit directly to an amateur athlete through social media are just an entire special breed of bitch ass cunt.

  8. I'm personally struggling to be at the excitement level towards Sark right now that I was before last night. 

    It feels like I had a banging, stacked, badass chick I just started going out with and then I found out she was texting one of her exes last night and now I have to walk around with her at my Aunt's bday party or something and knowing she's a sneaking little skank whore in my head but faking I'm still just as stoked about her as I was because that's what all my family thinks.
