    Wow, you are so right.   Story to come after I leave the bar!  Also got pics of the ring and her.  Does imgbb links for pics work here?

    So how long do before we start negging for lack of follow-through?

    Someone buy Kyler a bottle.  There is some lulz potential with this one while he perfects his mugshot pose.

    Here's a photo that has never been seen by anyone.  One of my readers was going through some slides taken by his father when he came across this photo of DKR on October 4, 1952, when # 5 Texas played # 19 Notre Dame. Score is 14-3, Notre Dame. Ended up being the final score.

    There aren't a ton of good quality pictures during this era.  This picture is amazing.  any chances there were more pictures of the stadium and surroundings that day?

    Mainly, that it is trying too hard to recreate Shaggy instead of creating its own identity.

    This is an interesting take.  I think one of the differences is that there are a bunch of posters missing and there is not really anything, right now, drawing in new visitors.  I'm assuming football season may change some of that, but it's going to take some creative and talented posters to bring that kind of draw again.  Some of the most creative/talented posters on shaggy aren't posting the same kind of content that they did in the past.  My opinion isn't that it is trying to hard, the content is just not what it was.

    You could also argue since Shaggy was torn away, that Surly is supposed to be a replacement.  Why should it have its own identity?

    And since none of that is really about Tapa, I'll post a Tapa comment here.  I never use it anymore  because the mobile version of this site is easier to use.  For the folks who posted lots of gifs and pics, that's probably not true, but as someone who mostly lurks, I hate the way Tapa works now for Surly compared to the way it worked on Shaggy.

    That's because she wanted to try the chocolate with peanut butter, but had already made her other choice. So - she got it for you so that she could "just have a taste". If you don't like it, then she gets to put it in the freezer for tomorrow.

    This man knows how to think like a woman.  

  6. It's hard to tell.  They have been mediocre at best for the past 20 years.  I lived in Pittsburgh from 2000 - 2004 and Larry Fitzgerald was there during that time.  I'm convinced that if he had he played at any other D1 school, he would have won Heisman.  In Pittsburgh at that time, if you weren't a Steeler or Mario Lemieux, you could get no ink.

    Interesting.  I always assumed that the Cotton Bowl was that large due to the Cotton Bowl game and Red River.

    I wonder if either would have been able to maintain a viable fanbase if they had remained in a power conference.

    Consider the case of Pitt as well.  Their story is similar to SMU and Rice.  I don't know their attendance figures, (and I'm too lazy to look them up) but I doubt they are much better than SMU.

    Ovi’s reaction is exactly why sports are so fucking awesome

    Indeed!

    As someone who "gave up" on Ovechkin a couple of years ago, I could not be happier for him.  To see the joy on his face made me really, really happy for him.  He deserved this and I don't think I've ever been happier for any player.  He had to wait a long time and he put in the work to earn it.
