  1. Yeah, Burr destroying him during COVID was probably the moment where I decided he was a fucking idiot that was doing more harm than good.
  2. I’m pretty sure the state you’re from has a far more problematic history of race relations.
  3. I guess I disagree. Don’t make me defend this dipshit, but I just don’t see why a white supremacist would routinely give black people a platform. There are plenty of objectively observable things wrong with Rogan. Piling unfounded charges of white supremacy derails from the mountain of legitimate criticism IMO.
  4. I’m no Rogan fan, but I don’t think he’s a white supremacist. He promotes a shit ton of black artists.
  5. OSU and Wazzu fans thinking they might get a Big 12 invite is like Utah and Kansas fans thinking they might get a Big 10/SEC invite. If it was going to happen, it would have a long time ago. For the record, I’d enjoy having both, but their profile is much more similar to MWC schools.
  6. Nah. Lots of non-sports stuff. Don’t really go into the UT specific stuff. Always enjoyable to watch Aggy getting roasted though.
  7. TIL Sark is a BYU alum. I always thought Armenians were super Catholic.
  8. That USD logo sips shit.
  9. Exactly this. I have friends who don't necessarily believe in conspiracy theories, but they tend to react to any facts inconvenient to their emotionally held beliefs as some kind of concoction of a biased media source. Or maybe they do believe it and just hide it from me because I tell them that conspiracy theories are fucking stupid. Either way, it's an internal defense mechanism to quickly explain a world that often simply defies basic explanation.
  10. I enjoy roasting a bunch on my grill, chopping them up, and bagging/freezing them for winter chili or smoked queso endeavors. I don't think they're hot at all, but they give that nice green chile flavor to stuff, and up here we don't always green chiles sitting around (not fresh ones anyhow). So the Hatch hype/marketing bullshit gets them in my hands in the first place, I suspect.

    Nirvana

    The riffs on Bleach fuckin' rip, but that drummer pales so badly in comparison to Dave Grohl that it's hard for me to spend as much time with it. I'd give a lot of money to hear a version of Bleach with Dave on drums.
  12. Michigan shut Iowa out in the Big 10 CCG. I think they'd have been fine in the regular season. But your greater point stands, and with the massive conferences we're going to see some seriously imbalanced schedules. Hell, we already are. Just look at Florida and Missouri. Same conference, wildly different difficulty of schedule. The committee has the ability to address some of this nonsense with their selections, but I doubt they'll let SOS and imbalanced schedules get in the way of picking match ups with better ratings.
  13. Holy shit that's amazing.
  14. It's awesome to see him succeed with this underdog group. He was the only reason that the 2018-2019 team didn't fully implode (albeit it got close). I think my incessant rage posting about the team he was on grinded the board's collective gears worse than anything that happened in the summer of '21.
  15. "Making biscuits out of beans" sounds exactly some codger saying for getting by with whatever you got on hand.
  16. My grandparents were late silent generation (all born in the mid 30's) and were raised by parents who weathered the depression or immigrated from Germany/Eastern Europe (6/8 great grandparents were immigrants). There wasn't much for fun/cherished traditions amongst these relatively hard people, but my grandma (Dad's mom) learned how to stretch what you have in ways to feed a bunch of hungry kids. The thing that always stuck out to me was a post-Easter dish my grandma just called "creamed eggs". She'd chop up all the left over hard boiled eggs we had dyed for Easter, and roast them in a big saucepan with heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper. Then she'd fry up some bacon, make toast, chop up the bacon and dump the creamy egg mixture on top of the toast and sprinkle the bacon on top of that. Cheap, simple, and I always looked forward to the week after Easter because it was the only time there were enough boiled eggs around for it. As I've gotten older, I appreciate the "waste not/want not" ethic more every day, and I think I'm nostalgic for this dish because it kind of exemplifies that unsophisticated, non-artistic approach to cooking that I was raised with, but don't necessarily embrace. I'm still a huge proponent of making use of all your food, never throwing anything out, etc but I guess having less energy directed towards simply staying alive has given me the opportunity to experiment more with making interesting food. This is not a rare occurence.
  17. And here I was feeling over the hill having a kid at 38.
  18. I think he used it more in their "compete with the Beatles" days, but by the time of the classic run, he was mostly in Open G.
  19. The fact that the World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band wrote some of the best country songs ever is such a fucking testament
  20. Pulpit Rock Little Italy Italian Pils, IMO
  21. Is it just me, or is Jupiter’s Faerie heavily tagging A Day In The Life? NTTAWWT
  22. Scooter Blues is maybe a little too literal in recapping his last few years, but it’s a whole vibe (as the kids say). I would agree others are growing on me more. One For The Road is fantastic.
  23. I loved that shit for like a year (basically '98-'99). When I heard (of all things) Blink 182 "What's My Age Again" I immediately swerved towards punk and that took me completely away from the ragey nu metal shit for good. Within a couple of years I'd picked up everything from the Velvet Underground to Phish.
  24. I was 13 when Devil Without A Cause came out ('99 IIRC) and I thought it was the greatest fucking thing I'd ever heard. Of course, I was shitfaced (for the first time) in a pasture listening to it around a bonfire. Being a dumb kid has consequences
