  1. Giving up 20 to Iowa IS pretty embarrassing.
  2. Had the same thought. They're doing a lot of photo shoots with the new gal.
  3. One TD and 2 FGs to the Iowa offense. Iowa got a pick 6 in that game. It was before Cade McNamara, Luke Lachey, and Erick All got hurt too.
  4. I get a lot of really good ideas/pointers/useful tips from Meat Church. Plus, it just seems like that guy is always having a blast smoking/grilling and drinking. I'm going to assume someone in here will ruin it with a diatribe about how he's a poseur, or a huge asshole off-camera. As is the Surly way.
  5. This is where I'm at. Tipping alcohol based on cost is silly. The amount of effort to pour Johnnie Walker Blue is the same effort required to pour Black Velvet. I tend to center my tip around effort and the circumstances more than dollar amount, although dollar amount factors into it.
  6. I think a couple of the younger guys are going to be on the Hall/Hutchinson level by the time they leave. Abu Sama (true frosh RB) and Jayden Higgins (JUCO WR who reminds me a LOT of Hutchinson) are both NFL guys I suspect. Sama absolutely embarrassed BYU on Saturday. TE Ben Brahmer has a lot of Charlie Kolar in his game too. Rocco Becht (QB) is kind of a poor man's Purdy. He's a little more patient and more willing to just take the easy play underneath and less likely to try and make something crazy happen than Purdy was. He has a few pick 6s, but they've all been on timing routes where him and the receiver were on different pages, as opposed to forcing an unlikely ball into tight coverage. This team reminds me a lot of the one Purdy's freshman year, without a fully formed NFL guy in the backfield like David Montgomery. If you recall, Texas beat that squad relatively comfortably (Montgomery was suspended for the first half for responding to a cheap shot from a Baylor player the week before).
  7. That is kind of something we like to do. Every loss except OU has featured some form of late surge that came up a tad short.
  8. Well, fuck you too, thank you very much! For real though, I just want to see us give you a 4 quarter game. We're stupid young and really improving, but for the first time in a long time it seems like Texas is focused enough to make good on it's talent. We're much better than Cougar High and TCU, but we're not as good as K State. I'm just keeping my expectations reasonable.
  9. We didn't have a healthy secondary in either the KU or OU games. Malik Verdon missed OU and Jeremiah Cooper missed KU. Verdon's healthy and playing great, Cooper is possible to be back for Saturday, but if he's not, Ewers is going to pick on his backups all day.
  10. The prevailing thought among ISU fans was our best chance to win involved Texas being out of the Big 12 race and god awful weather so that your team would throw in the towel from Jump Street. Since of neither of those are likely to come to fruition (one for sure isn't), it really doesn't matter now. Our chance to victory is going to ride on whether or not we can force turnovers and then score off of them. If Texas plays a clean game, they'll cover.
  11. We’ve been rooting for that since the schedule dropped. Fucking La Niña.
  12. The Texas team that walked into Bryant-Denny wins comfortably. The Texas that walked into the second half in Amon Carter leaves in a body bag.
  13. That grass is certainly thriving in the 50 degree air
  14. I can’t make any promises for those white devils.
  15. Drastically better ratings than they would have gotten on Apple TV had the Pac survived
  16. We're always looking for ways to consume less resources per acre. Most of our nitrogen comes from the old fashioned source - shit. We use some dry urea and anhydrous ammonia as well, but the goal with nitrogen application is to get it into the plant and avoid or minimize any extra release into the atmosphere. A lot of the bad rap farmers get for nitrogen run-off comes from large livestock integrators who are either not involved in crop production, or only raise crops as a means to dispense of manure. Because they have more manure than land they can responsibly fertilize with it, they tend to over apply, and create the bulk of the nitrogen related issues seen in intensely row-cropped areas. An operation like ours has more farmland than manure, so we can apply the manure we do have in a timely fashion, and an appropriate amount of ground. This helps ensure that the soil absorbs the nitrogen and stores it through the winter to apply to the seed/plant in the spring. A lot of our land will never get manure, and on those farms we either apply anhydrous in the fall, or dry urea in the spring and growing season. Again, all of this is done to maximize absorption by the corn plant and minimize evaporation or run off. At the end of the day, the guys raising corn for ethanol want to capture as much nitrogen as possible and let as little as possible evaporate into the atmosphere or run off into the water system. Because they get more money for growing more corn. The guys raising corn because they need to get shit out of their stock yards or barns are less concerned with this, generally, because they get paid by selling more cows and pigs.
  17. It should really be "milk toast". And I'm glad that Allen Klein hates the fuckin' Eagles because Dead Flowers really ties the room together.
  18. In my experience, pretty much everyone that hates the Eagles was alive in the late 70's/early 80's and listening to a shit ton of punk at the time. Not a put down, because I love a lot of that music too, but it seems like there was a time and place where if you were into a certain thing, hating the Eagles was de rigueur.
  19. Would they even know? My assumption is that his entire audience was born before 1990.
