    If 49 Winchester saved their best songs for the full album release and didn't run them as lead singles, this thing is gonna elbow out Sturgill for album of the year on my end. These lead singles have been ridiculously good.
  2. Hey, some of us were early teenagers in that era.

    Yup. I think this is about spot on. You could make a legitimately great album by grabbing his best songs, but after that it gets thin.

    He really came off like a douche at first, and I found his early stuff to sound weirdly like Nickleback with a Southern accent. I did not get the hype AT ALL. There have been some really good songs from him in the last 5 years. The aforementioned "Ragweed" is the one that made me give him a second chance/another look. I'm not a huge fan, but he's improved as a songwriter and there are some great hooks scattered throughout. He's leaned more into an obvious 90's pop punk influence as well. If my wife left me tomorrow, I'd probably put going to one of his shows at the top of my social "to do" list for reasons that have fuck all to do with music, but at this point I think I'd enjoy enough of the songs.
  5. I hate to say this as an ISU fan, but go to Iowa. It's a fun game day atmosphere and I don't think they're total assholes to non rival fanbases. Might be decent flights into Cedar Rapids or the Quad Cities from Seattle. Chicago's like 4 hours away too.
  6. I haven't spent much time with it yet. Gave it one spin the day it came out, and felt like it was all in a similar vein, and I wasn't in the mood for that at the moment. I really like Pink Skies though. I'm sure I'll dig in at some point.
  7. So that means they're in until 2036?
  8. She’s almost beyond the scope of the argument IMO. She’s an icon and a lot of that is due to things beyond and outside music.
  9. Cash is one of those artists that is both great AND overrated. He’s the stock favorite country artist of people who don’t like country, but he’s also the man. My attempt at a country Mt Rushmore (as a big fan): Hank Possum Hoss Willie
  10. Zeppelin wouldn't have been the same with any other combination of people. I've always heard the story that Jimmy Page had tried to talk John Entwistle and Keith Moon into playing with him and Plant. While I'd die to know what that would sound like, I suspect it wouldn't be anywhere near as good as either Zeppelin or The Who.
  11. Yeah, this is spot on. I get why a lot of people find Yormark annoying, but without him it's hard to see the Big 12 not only surviving, but helping to destroy a conference that nearly destroyed it more than once.
  12. If Florida State isn't moving the SEC's financial needle, I can't see VA Tech or NCSU doing it.
  13. A well connected ISU guy said yesterday that the SEC has vetted FSU and Clemson and neither one is additive. Big 10 still cares about playing school and neither is AAU. Makes me think the SEC is done unless they can add Notre Dame. Also reinforces no Big 12 school is getting any kind of call from them (time to accept reality KU fans). I think Big 10 still might want UNC/UVA/Miami. FSU and Clemson need to decide if being in the Big 12 is better than being in the ACC minus them.
  14. Holy shit, that looks like it slams.
  15. Alas, it was my only binder. Sometimes you just have to deal with non-Shankworthy ingredients. I'll keep it a minimum.
  16. I love japs but the wife had bought the pepperoncini for some pasta salad, and per the spirit of the thread I tend to just go with what's in the fridge at the time. Same with the low carb tortilla. They aren't good, but they're good enough for having half the calories of a regular one.
  17. I don't think KSU belongs on that list, but agree on the others.
  18. Someone in that thread made an interesting point: if they can use the private equity to buy off FSU and Clemson, the gain in the next TV contract can probably more than offset their payments back to PE. Or that’s what Yormark would be attempting.
  19. Scheer was very well connected in the Pac 12 demise. I still can’t see this happening, but if the SEC and Big 10 don’t want them…
  20. Every school outside of the Big 10 and SEC that’s not a blue blood is in the same spot as we are. You desperately want me to say “Texas and OU are big meanies for not hanging around” and that’s not at all what I’m saying. USC, Oregon, FSU, Clemson all feel the same way. The SEC has a much higher ratio of contributor programs than the Big 10, so that situation is different. Again, my point was that the taker programs in the SEC and Big 10 are just guys born on on third thinking they hit a triple. The only decision those schools made to get themselves here was joining the conference they did 150 years ago. We ARENT a big deal, and neither are 2/3rds of the Big 10. But they get paid like it because of the ones who are.
  21. What in the actual fuck are you talking about or responding to? My point is that Iowa is a program that has leeched from bigger programs for years, but because those programs are content to allow it, Iowa fans have let it go to their head and not recognize how lucky they are to have just fallen in with the only blue bloods content with such an arrangement 150 years ago. It has fuck all to do with UT, OU, or any Big 12 TV deal.
