  1. Relegation hard on. That's what it is.

    Is Punk Dead?

    I don't know how you don't find punk rock in the DNA of this shit.
  3. Yeah, you make a good point that I forgot about. I keep thinking of it as an alternative to Pac 12 After Dark, but that’s just been absorbed into the Big 10 and Big 12. That said, I prefer a competitive game between schools in a smaller league than a bad game in a bigger one.
  4. I was close to the stage in the assigned seating on the right hand side as you were viewing it from the audience. Closest to Kyle Nix when Turnpike played. We snuck down into the very front during the encore. I had my eye out for any OSU gear. I wasn't wearing ISU gear though, so it wouldn't have been obvious. Definitely thought it was a mix issue with Old 97's. It seemed very muted/muddled, which really threw me off because the last time I saw them open for Turnpike in a very similar venue they sounded amazing. That was an ampitheatre in Mankato, MN. It was in 2018 and probably the same tour you're referencing. Shooter was opening the set that night.
  5. I think the MWC makes more sense than the AAC. With the loss of the 3 best schools, I'm not sure the AAC is better than the MWC in it's current form. And it's way more travel, for what will not be a significant raise. Oregon State and Wazzu in the MWC is a fairly entertaining league that I'll probably watch at midnight when I get home from the field.
  6. Yeah, probably next week at this rate. Plenty of time to dig into all of this.
  7. The new Turnpike has kept me from really digging into the new Zach Bryan. I kinda can’t put it down.
  8. The Avett Brothers did bring it. Hard. Turnpike then topped them. Old 97’s were a little more chill than expected, but I got to shake Murry’s hand after their set, so that was rad.
  9. That’s what he means. That isn’t what will happen.
  10. Kyle Whittingham isn’t wrong, but he’s talking about the Big 10 and SEC taking the top ACC brands, and the Big 12 getting the rest. Not Utah moving up
  11. Agreed. Wife and I are going to the OG tap room in Cedar Falls next Friday. They always have something fun in there.
  12. Almost every ISU/Texas revenue sport game in Austin from 2011 forward (except for the 2020 football game to determine who went to the Big 12 CCG) was on LHN because our AD was super willing to be the one who fell on that sword, as he viewed as something he could do to foster a good relationship with Texas.
  13. Most of the animosity towards Texas prior to the SEC announcement was just the typical dislike of the biggest, wealthiest school that exists in every conference. Iowa fans loathe Ohio State, even though that isn't a historic rivalry, and they only play 2-3 times a decade. They're the big dog in that league, and ergo receive that ire. Since then, it's mostly the "we aren't good enough for you? Well, fuck you, then" anger at rejection form of animosity. Any animosity I've tossed at Texas was 100% of this variety. All of this is really basic/typical human behavior and shouldn't be surprising to anyone. I don't think the LHN really has anything to do with it. It's just an easy scapegoat. The schools that left previously left because they were either getting a pay raise, or thought that the league was going to blow up and didn't want to be left without a life raft. I think Nebraska and Aggy were most jealous of Texas's rise in the Aughts and needed some more concrete excuse. I
  14. How was the show, @Kennythetiger? Love the new album. I wouldn't say it's better than Self Titled or A Long Ways From Your Heart, but it's really fucking good and I'm damn glad to have it.
  15. I’m going Saturday in KC with Old 97s and Avetts. Absolutely pumped. I can’t properly explain my hatred of Dorothy Lynch dressing and it’s enduring association to the western Midwest, but I know you can at least wrap your head around it.
  16. I wasn’t planning on smashing holes in my wall but here we are
  17. They have to try something. If it fails, they're in the same spot they're in now. They truly have nothing to lose. I don't think this will be successful, but it makes complete sense to me that SMU would attempt this.
  18. Not any worse than they already are. If the ACC gets poached by the SEC and Big 10, SMU could have used this raised profile to jump some of the other ACC schools in terms of Big 12 interest. I think it's unlikely, but it's not like they have anything to lose as it is.
  19. I'm not at all a Florida fan and I found it pretty enjoyable, honestly. I rooted for them in that first natty against Ohio State and then didn't root for them the rest of the way. I wanted more about Aaron Hernandez, but I've kinda made up my mind about most of the guys featured in there, so it coming off as a way to make Urban look good didn't bother me. It's pretty obvious who he is. I think it did inadvertently show how callous he is even if they were trying not to. Tebow comes off exactly the same as he always did. Spikes come off exactly the same as he always did. I found the storyline about those guys coming from wildly divergent places but finding a way to lead that squad fairly compelling. Finebaum is the worst part by a mile.
  20. When I was like 18 that was considered a delicacy as it was only available in Minnesota (despite being an AB product). It’s now available throughout the Midwest, but I almost never drink it unless I’m in Minnesota
  21. Exactly how I want an IPA anymore. A little cloudy, but all that West Coast pine and weed
  22. You’ll have to excuse me, I live amongst Iowa fans and they say things like that without a hint of awareness.
  23. No, no. It's only a problem in one small state in the middle of the country. Specifically at the marquee programs at the most visible and popular universities. This isn't happening anywhere else.
