  2. If you want to have your mind completely blown (and didn't already know), look up what Kip Winger has been up to the last few years. And then go listen to it and have your mind even MORE blown. I guarantee you did NOT have that on your "Where are they now? Hair Metal Edition" bingo card
  3. got nothin but good memories of Shakey's

  5. I'm sorry, I didn't take any math past undergrad
  6. There's probably not a bigger Texas sports fan in the world than Bobby. He took his obsession over it and built multiple companies out of it. Hats off to him.
  7. I feel like this needs a deeper dive. People say that about us because it has been true for a very long time. I've been following Texas football since the McWilliams era, and I can't recall a time it wasn't true. But now, you got T'Vondre Sweat (3-star; 2nd Round). Gunnar Helm (3-star, 4th round). Michael Taaffe (no-star, 2nd-round projection for 2025, returned for final year). These are the kinda hidden gem fuckers the Purple Wizard would bring into the Little Apple and train up into guys who'd beat our 5-stars' asses and get drafted. Unlike Purple Kryptonite, we also have all those 4-stars and 5-stars, and also unlike previous eras, they are coming here to work. Playing at Texas isn't the goal; it's a way to reach their goals. Yeah. The Georgia $9.95'er is seeing the difference earlier than even most of OUR fans are, to say nothing of the rest of the CFB fandom. Because this is a new thing for us. And I'm SO fucking here for it.
  8. Not if you can't fit the whole thing in there, it isn't. Yeah, ok, this is tight, nice, but what about the rest of the shaft?
  9. literally anything and everything made by Nine Inch Nails
  10. This is the second-greatest video on the Internet.
  11. and announcing when Georgia and Kirby are being interviewed is such a great way to teabag them
  12. if you mean femboy, just say femboy, it's ok we don't judge here

  14. There's nothing about the situation today that crushes my soul. We're in all these recruitments and winning many of them, adding more meat to a roster that is already nearly empty of fat. These are great days my friends.
  15. All right @G650, I'll do you one better. I'll argue in favor of what you're saying. And the reason I'm doing this is so that, instead of just going over the same points you've already repeated over and over that I already understand, you'll be able to take a step forward and see what I am trying to say. So here's Dave Mustaine playing with the San Diego Symphony. Now, I don't know about you, but it sounds like complete ass to me. It sounds like complete ass because of Everything Else. He's playing among instruments with massive and subtle dynamic range, among performers who have mastered that dynamic range. And on top of that, he's hitting notes out of tune that need to be bent into the right pitch. I don't think anyone's going to say that Mustaine is a bad guitarist, but in this environment, his skills are underdeveloped to the point of sounding amateurish. Why? Because he always only ever played or practiced his guitar with the gain cranked to metal levels. He doesn't have a lot of mis-hits in his playing, because that's how he practiced; but dynamics, tuning, subtlety... are completely absent. Again, because this is how he practiced. Until this concert, he never needed subtle dynamics, and being out of tune occasionally was acceptable for various reasons. But here? The guitar and symphony don't work together; it's jarring and painful to hear.
  16. @G650 I know what you're saying. And -- once again -- I've spent the past 45 years getting good at "everything else." I don't suck ass at everything else. Whereas the ghost notes/mis-hits are not just something I suck at, but something I've actively trained (over 45 years) to do on purpose, and have to re-train my hand to do differently. Of course you have to work on everything else. But saying you shouldn't do focused work at all on things you are particularly bad at -- or even saying that it's "bad musicianship" to work on exercises that build up different skills to improve ( @tigol) -- is singularly terrible advice.
  17. Yeah. Colt getting injured vs Bama was not a freak accident. It's the result of a sorry OL facing two real DLs in a row when your QB is also your best running back. now let us never speak of this again
