  1. I'm 38 now and just assumed Boynton was a good 10 years older than me.
  2. No shit? He always gave off kinda-old man vibes to me.
  3. Lutz seems like a very solid hire. He’s won pretty quickly as an HC and has recruiting ties in the Midwest and Texas, so he’s really well situated for OSU in a lot of ways.
  4. Stopped at one a couple weeks ago in Arkansas on a mountain biking trip. It took 20 minutes to get our order. It tasted fine, but if I'm going to wait 20 minutes for a burger, I better be bellied up at a bar with a beer in one hand and a game on the tube.
  5. Angel Reese seems like a bitch and a whiner. She deserves to take some crap for her antics. Her and Mulkey seem cut from an extremely similar cloth. The people who make her behavior a matter of race are far worse than she is. This is 100% a "both things can be true" situation. 6 more days until I don't have to watch Iowa fans use the women's program to hide their shame about how badly we've buried their men's program.
  6. I had some old GNR bootlegs with a really good cover of "Dead Flowers" on it. Speaking of GNR and the Stones, "I Used to Love Her" is just a complete "Dead Flowers" rip. I love it, but it's undeniable.
  7. Dead Man Winter is my favorite iteration of Dave Simonett and that album is among his best work. After his divorce, Dave spent a lot of time kicking around the Driftless Area of SE MN (the part of Iowa I live in is part of this region as well) when he didn't have his kids and the album is full of references to places I know well, all drenched in that reflective sense of loss. A lot of that era went into the TBT's "Life Is Good On The Open Road" as well (Kelly's Bar is a real place I've been to several times), which might actually be my favorite TBT album. I think this track (which might be my all time favorite Simonett song) fits the bill of this thread as well.
  8. Love me some Country Honk. It's a little behind those other 5 for me though. "You Got The Silver" should be in the conversation too.
  9. I haven't loved any of the new songs from this upcoming Old 97's album, but I kinda enjoyed the airborne Roger Staubach album cover for their last one.
  10. I remember essentially cutting out on JRE when it went to Spotify exclusively. It was a combo of just preferring the Apple Podcast for keeping track of pods, and all the whining he'd been doing about the COVID lockdowns. He was inserting more and more of himself and less of letting the guest talk. He'd constantly get side tracked whining about lockdowns and cancel culture and all I could think was "you're a fucking millionaire 100x over and ain't no way you're getting canceled for this stupid shit you say". I just lost interest completely.
  11. I needed that to remind me that I wasn't some red pilled nutjob when I listened to JRE. That idiot's the one who changed.
  12. I know some people hate Far Away Eyes because they feel like it's mocking country music, but I just can't relate to that. The Stones clearly loved country music, and they loved it so much they made it better than a litany of American artists that actually call themselves country artists. IMO their top 5 Country Songs are as follows: Dead Flowers Wild Horses Let It Bleed Far Away Eyes Sweet Virginia That can go shoulder to shoulder with a lot of the greats of country's top 5, and I say that as an avid fan of country music.
  13. Maybe it's just because it's Monday, maybe I'm just dumb as rocks, but I'm scratching my brain on this one.
  14. This definitely would take some of the fun out of being a hot shot college athlete today.
  15. Back in my trading days, any RR tion was about as prized of a get as I could come across.
  16. Had the exact same thought. A lot of those I haven’t drank since I was 19
  17. I stopped at Zilker last time I was in Austin (en route to 2018 Alamo Bowl). Damn good beer.
  18. Nah. I want Utah to hang around long enough to get their shit shoved up their asses in one of the numerous Plains backwaters they're so opposed to associating with.

    I would have loved to hear the Mats play World Class Fad.
  20. The only thing it's missing are his reaction tweets from when the schools actually left.

    Bumping this thread. What are people's thoughts on Westerberg's solo material? I've been down that rabbit hole a ton lately and while I don't think he made any great solo albums, there are absolutely staggering songs littered through that solo career.
  22. Yeah, I wouldn't call Prince (or any solo artist) a front man. Mick's the goat on the front. I think Plant, Daltrey, DLR, Bon Scott are all in the conversation, but it's absolutely Mick. I love Rod and the Faces, but he was onto the solo thing so quickly that I don't view him really as a front man even though he was for a couple of years.
  23. Same, but I also know lots of guys who work at the co-op or a factory and drive big diesels just because they have small dicks.
