  1. I like it because it's a callback to our rugby roots.
  2. This advertisement is full of lies. Pop-Tarts haven't looked like that in decades. I can't remember the last time I bought a pack with eyes and legs and walked around and talked. Fuckin' things don't move at all, now. Back in college we'd go to HEB and pick up the family pack, drag 'em home, and have whole philosophical conversations about whether trees dream and shit. Then we'd eat them. It was a cruel existence.
  3. There we go. Nicole Randolph. Not bad, not bad... NICE pass break-up there!
  4. uhm hang on a second... I need to know more about this officiating crew, suddenly
  5. Surly-worthy. We gotta get this guy on here. They really do. They aren't what I grew up craving. Bland-ass crackers with half-frosted with granite and the legal minimum amount of filling made of homeopathic fruit substance.
  6. NYTimes Gift Link -- Though he played a naïve buffoon onstage, he was the driving force behind the folk-singing duo’s groundbreaking TV show. I remember my parents playing Smothers Brothers albums for me as a kid. Mom would remind me constantly that what I was hearing was incredibly radical and controversial for the time. It was a pretty important part of how she helped to nurture the subversiveness, irreverence and general disregard of authority and mass movements of any kind that I otherwise gained naturally from her genetics. Dad worked diligently to counter this. Always strait-laced, that one. So I found my rebellious outlet through music, and not just through the stuff I listened to, but in the incredibly awful things I wrote. But even the stuff I listened to growing up couldn't touch the unhinged things the Smothers Brothers, Tom Lehrer, and Weird Al did with music. And with the Smothers Brothers, you could tell that there was method in their madness. There was a very serious purpose behind the clowning. They were crossing lines on purpose to show not only could they be crossed, but that they should be crossed. Take it, Tommy! ...TAKE IT, TOMMY!... ......TAKE. IT. TOMMY. Tommy, when I say "Take it," you're supposed to take it. It's in the Folk Song Rule Book...
  7. It's also based off of Brooks' performance against Texas, which also featured our D-line dominating Tech's OL. Brooks managed almost triple the yardage, most of which was after contact. What I saw in both games was that Tahj Brooks was a lot harder to catch and bring down for our defense than any other running back we faced -- and for the same front seven guys of ours. Tech wasn't doing any better job blocking -- worse, really. They sure as hell weren't scheming him into better plays. When they brought down Ollie Gordon, it was: Another day, another dollar. But when they brought down Tahj, you could just see the guys going, "Whew, thank GOD we got him down." And if you look at the statistics of both games, you'll see what I mean; Tech managed 80 yards less of total offense than y'all against our D (281 for you over 56 plays for 5 yards per play, 198 for the Zorros in 61 plays for 3.24 Yards per play). But Tahj had much more success: 95 yards on 19 carries at a nice even 5.0 yards per carry, versus Ollie's 13 for 34, a downright pedestrian 2.6 yards per carry. So the evidence of both my own lying eyes and the statistics is that both of y'all had shitty OLs, but Tech's is even shittier, and yet Tahj managed to get double the yards per carry that Ollie did. And that's just if we take the games in isolation, here. I put to you that if Ollie played for Tech and Tahj played for y'all, Tahj would be the rushing leader and Doak winner, and by a lot more than Ollie won it this year.
  8. Gordon wasn't the best top 5 RB we faced. The Tech guy... that guy's legit. Absolutely the real thing.
  9. If you're driving from Amarillo to Austin and have to take a dump two hours in, something runs through Lubbock, all right...
  10. Same, but it became clear that even A&M's dregs were bigger/stronger/faster than OSU. They really did recruit well under Jimbo, and that amount of talent is hard to hide... ...and yet they found a way to lose anyway. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
  11. It's on the Internet. I'm not a total Luddite! And it's a comic, IF you must know. Thus the "read" portion. But of course it is illustrated, every panel...
  12. oh thank god this is over and i can go back to reading porn
  13. oh yeah, I do vaguely recall that it rained that morning, too. 'nother 1st down. yeah.
