    Since I'm fairly confident the Boys won't make the SB, kinda pulling for the Raiders to win it all b/c....Madden.  Ghost to the post (season).

    Can none of you fat fucks use a goddamned grill? Martin’s Potato Buns + ground beef + American Cheese + 3 minutes per side and you have a superior burger than any of these fast-casual shitholes. 

    fast casual, fast food, fine dining and home cookin' are all completely different beasts

    In n Out in Southern California is good and generally shit anywhere else.  Ive heard it’s cause they source from local suppliers in SoCal and ship it frozen everywhere else.  Might be urban legend and In n Out is nothing special anyway but whatevs

    They apparently went to great lengths to establish the same supply-chain setup in Texas that they had in California/AZ. But the trick with a supply chain where the food is never frozen is that your food will never be better than what your local suppliers can produce. So I don't think they're freezing things, they... just don't have as good of a supply chain.

    I also think there's something to culture and hiring. I saw this happen once when County Line tried opening a restaurant in Amarillo... the place was garbage, closed after only a couple of years. I wonder if something similar is happening here. The people being hired in SoCal grew up eating In-N-Out, and their parents grew up eating it, and there's kind of a tradition there, an expectation that they have to make really good burgers to carry on this cultural tradition. There's a bit of pride in being the guy who works in In-N-Out in SoCal, more so than there would be at, say, McDonald's or Fatburger or Five Guys. And the closer you get to the beach and pick up the sundown post-surfing crowd, the more pronounced this tradition gets, I think. Whereas the folks making the burgers at In-N-Out Texas ... they don't have any of that. There's no pride, no cultural tradition to carry on.

    And, like a great pastor, this brings us back to the cultural rot in the Texas football program. It's been a dozen years since our squad has had a winning tradition. And a dozen years of winning before another dozen years of mediocrity as you go backwards in time. And you see that with Bo Davis' rant on the bus. Bo Davis isn't accustomed to this sort of thing, but the players, staffers, administration... they're comfy and cozy in their mediocre loserdom. I don't think you can build a winning program by hiring people who are used to losing. Or recruiting players who are used to losing...

    I did the same thing by giving it a 2nd chance and had the same reaction. Was working at a hospital in the Bay Area and my colleagues there were all about in n out. Had the pleasure of bringing one to a Whataburger when they visited for a golf trip. His exact words were “you are right, this is way better than in n out.”

    Y'all are going to far better Whataburgers than I've ever been to, or far worse In-n-outs than the ones I've been going to, or both. I've not had a Whataburger that wasn't grease-soaked cardboard compared with the average In-n-out double. But then, I've never been to In-n-out in Texas.

    The fries... are inconsistent. When you get them on a good day, In-n-Out fries are the best fries you've ever eaten. Most of the  time, they're . . . pretty bad.

    He was always fun to see and recognize in movies. My older brother and I were fans just because of his style.

    Something they point out in this YouTube doc is how heavy that weapon is he's doing his forms with. He holds it like it weighs nothing.

    THANK YOU! I knew I'd seen that guy before!

  7. I moved to San Diego the same year the Super Bowl was here -- the first one that the Broncos won. Got to see that one live. 9 years later, I got to drive up to Pasadena and watch a defense he helped build win another championship, this time us. (The previous year's Rose Bowl win, where he was more directly involved, I got to see on TV.)

    Terrible way to go and too soon. RIP Greg.

    Shit like this is where I laugh the most about the stupidity of parents and their inability to really understand the risk involved. I get taking the $$ (to a point), but to be brazen enough in this day and age to brag about it is opening up yourself as a target for no good reason.

    Back in the day, everyone was willing to keep their mouths shut (mostly) and even if someone did pop off, it was local legend that really didn’t have an outlet to become “news” Now everything reverberates through the internet echo chamber and everything tied to the business of sport is considered newsworthy.
     

    Keep this up and at some point some high and mighty feeling former D2 or D3 athlete that is at a position of power in the IRS is going to start auditing parents over this. Once they hit on one, it becomes a pattern of abuse and then they can go after an entire teams class over 5 years.

    We just got done seeing the FBI wiretap college basketball coaches and place a sting around buying admission for students to high profile schools by the elite. You don’t think that using the IRS to investigate student athletes and their families is now consider out of bounds? 
     

    NIL is really interesting in this regards because it gives those in power a justification of why they are going after it now, when it’s always been there. They can claim that we let these things slide (much like tax evasion and it’s implications to the marijuana dispensaries and growers) because there wasn’t a legal mechanism in place to pay these kids. Now since there is, it’s not like we are taking $$ out of there pockets, just ensuring Uncle Sam gets his cut…

    I mean, this is wishful thinking.

    I LIKE it, but it's wishful thinking.

    “Texas” doesn’t have shit going on with NIL. The Texas alumni base has numerous things going on that will be significant in varying degrees. 

    You guys still talking up the notion of parity between the bag game and NIL or, worse, acting as if the bag game will continue to matter more are just flat wrong. It’s too tedious at this point to break down, so I guess, keep handwringing with your delusions. 

    There’s a very real probability that Texas will have 6 figure floors per roster spot within the next 2 cycles. Donor resources are finite, especially for other schools. ATM’s now on the hook for paying guys’ handlers PER SEASON. That directly conflicts with donors also then having to pony up for NIL. I know folks here find it rather easy to spend other peoples’ money, but it’s harder for folks to bite both bullets in the future. Also, in many instances, donor contributions to NIL will be tax deductible. Everyone looking at all of this from the handler’s perspective are looking at the future precisely incorrectly. Nobody likes funding those motherfuckers anyway. 

    Those motherfuckers like it a lot, though. I don't see them going quietly into that good night, and remaining gatekeepers whenever they can. They got good at this.

    Not arguing against any of the points you're making, just pointing out that there'll be resistance for a while.

    No, but because *it's us*, there will be national backlash, and the sucking of Texas' gonads will be subsequently outlawed, even though it will be fine for anyone else in the SECSECSEC, because that's how it goes for us.  Lulz

    You seem like a pussy.
