  1. They lean into the vinegar aspect quite a bit and have more seasoning than you'd expect. Better than actually dipping chips in ketchup. Which is where barbecue chips usually go off the rails. They're fine, but I'd almost rather never eat barbecue chips than just have regular chips dipped in barbecue sauce.
  2. This sucks, but there's only two episodes left so I'm probably going to finish.
  3. I suspect that he shows back up. Those guys just can't shut it off forever. Except for Paul Westerberg, seemingly.

    Toby Keith RIP

    He had some good songs smattered across his career. He's an OU fan, and I don't agree with him politically, but I'll always enjoy this song.
  5. Yeah, I mean that's what happens more often than not. Off the top of my head I can only remember 2 wins in Austin. 2005 and 2015. Better ISU teams lost in Austin than either of those.
  6. I remember him saying years ago he was only gonna make like 4-5 albums and then just kinda peace out
  7. Like what you like. I don’t think he really fits this thread. He’s probably somewhere on the country spectrum to be sure.
  8. It gets played on terrestrial radio a ton. I think that still generates significant royalties.
  9. This wacky winter has me confident I'll be riding my local dirt by Friday afternoon. Got an NWA trip planned for March. Going to stay in Eureka Springs and spend a day riding Great Passion Play trails, and another day where I do the whole Back 40 (the original 22 mile loop). Really excited about that. Had a trip lined up last year, but my wife got a major promotion and was unable to take time off in that window. I went to Eureka in the spring of 2021 and loved it. Can't wait to get back.
  10. Luke Combs has a few songs I actually enjoy. Seems like the kind of guy who'd make for a good neighbor. His cover of "Fast Car" was competent and brought new attention to a great song and made Tracy Chapman a shit load of money in the process. I have zero issue with any of it.
  11. We went to the Sweet 16 too. Undefeated non-con full of Quad 1 games was our saving grace.
  12. I just think our guys are completely wiped out after last night and obviously they’re living out of a hotel the next few days. Combine that with a game against a talented (if underachieving) squad that needs a big win in a place we’ve rarely played well, and I’m just ready to get back to Hilton ASAP.
  13. I suspect Texas is picking up another ranked W this week.
  14. Fuck Tang and K State. I hope we run them out of their stupid fucking Octagon of Bullshit.
  15. They were terrible and it mostly benefited us. Which makes the loss sting more. The refs gifted us an opportunity and we couldn’t capitalize.
  16. I don’t even think we got screwed. I’m still wild
  17. Thoughts: -It's a thread about the Big 12. No one is spamming UT or SEC threads with these conversations. Ban non UT posters and get it over with if that's what y'all want, or just stop replying to this thread if you're tired of it. -Well, it's the current reality. What's your vote for #3? An ACC who's 2 best schools are trying to sue their way out and actually makes less money than the Big 12? -Sounds like the other conferences at this point. -Yes. The Big 12 has survived because the remaining schools understand what they are. Long time power conferences schools that have never sniffed blue blood status, have smallish but generally fanatical fanbases, and has to market themselves in a completely different fashion because they lack the monster fanbases, media markets, and historical cache of the upper half of the SEC and Big 10.
  18. Neither of you actually read anything in the posts you quoted.
  19. I have 20 years of media narratives to base that off. The most obvious example is how when you guys announced you were leaving, the Stewart Mandels of the world were popping champagne and dancing on the Big 12's grave and then they spent all last summer bemoaning the end of the Pac 12 and painting the Big 12 as some kind of lecherous villain intent on ruining the sport. The constant PR assault on the league has been cited by many on this board as one of the main reasons to leave. When Texas was in the Big 12 and seemingly stuck 5-6 years ago, people were constantly pointing out how the narrative surrounding the league was basically complete bullshit.
  20. I'm not disagreeing on that specific point. Those tie breakers were horrific, and the Big 12 has made plenty of other mistakes over the years. However, my general point is still true. If the Big 12 cured cancer, the national narrative would be about how the conference fucked all these researchers out of a job. Whatever decision the Big 12 makes on anything is going to get shit on in the court of public opinion, regardless of the merits (or lack thereof) of said decision as a result of who is making it.
  21. Lucille Bluth is a perfect avatar for this thread.
