  1. I'm fairly satisfied. It was a good win by 31 and there's room for improvement. You can't complain about 4 turnovers. Arch did good after a slow start. He's going to improve. This is the tune up he needed before Ohio State. Running game was decent. We're still lacking a home run threat. WRs were average outside of Livingston who will be a star. TEs were great. Defense is championship level. Penalties are still an issue. We need to beat UTEP by 50. Glad we kicked a FG for once.
  2. I have some complaints but not just a ton. Defense was great. Arch did better but has room to improve. Running game was good but also can improve. Wingo needs to figure shit out. Livingston is going to be one of the great ones. Simmons had a bad game. Can't argue with 4 turnovers. Offense was much improved but still has room for improvement. Yes, Virginia, Sark can kick a FG.
  3. That looks like a mountain of dogshit. I don't get why these restaurants think a mound of food is appetizing to look at.
  4. Yeah, it was better when he was just an asshole to everyone and not what he later became towards women. I can't really listen to that album given how he treated Mandy Moore but she came out on the better end of it and he's faded into obscurity. I still listen to his early catalog and have fond memories of the shows I saw of his.
  5. I know he's a piece of shit but man, what a writer and performer he was.
  6. "Your mascot is a fat weasel". Yeah, your mascot is a person who cheated to steal land.
  7. The classic OU hand sign on display.

  9. Season 4 will be set in France. It will be set at either the Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat in the French Riviera, the Megeve in the French Alps, or the Hotel George V in Paris. https://deadline.com/2025/09/the-white-lotus-season-4-location-france-hbo-1236507930/
  10. They played this live at the two shows I saw in 2023 and you could hear a pin drop.
  11. This is our watch list starting this Friday. My oldest and I will try to knock out two a week until Halloween. We'll start out with the classics. I have a good number of these in 4K. Universal classics as I have a box set of these- Dracula, The Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man Hereditary The VVitch Se7en The Thing Bram Stoker’s Dracula Longlegs Psycho The Birds The Invisible Man (2020) Event Horizon Evil Dead 1 & 2 Barbarian American Werewolf in London
  12. Texit Coin brought to by Kristi Noem and Donald J. Trump's leadership?
  13. Nah, she's one of the "good ones".
  14. Wife beaters, incels, alcoholics, drug abusers, people with known behavioral issues, all fine to own a firearm. Transgender people, nope.
  15. In the good old days, a guy spouting off nonsense like this is put in an insane asylum. Today, he's given a massive platform and a cabinet post.
  16. Rice doing Baby Blues for the Bayou Bucket Rivalry game
  17. I think Cregger has shown he's not going to hold the audience's hand during a movie and for that, I'm thankful. That's what helped make the story so unique to me. It's already asking me to suspend belief so one more layer of that just doesn't bother me. You can pull at the thread of most stories if you look at nits to pick hard enough.
  18. So I guess over to the Cinemark 17 I will go to view this.
  19. I'd imagine Gladys took care of all that like she did with the principal and the police interview. She could've called into their work and said they were sick. Maybe they both worked remotely at home. The kid walked home once. The other times he took the bus. The movie showed the police just threw up their hands a bit after cursory checks on the kid and his family because there was nothing further coming in and they checked out the family and the teacher. They didn't strike me as an elite police unit. The teacher seemed to be the only one who noticed anythinge was up with him and that was more to satisfy her own curiosity on why only the two of them were still there. Given the entire rest of the class was gone, the parents seem to only focus on the teacher as the cause of things and didn't really interact. Archer's interaction with the wife he was trying to get the Ring footage from showed it wasn't a tight-knit group. Also, the families were grieving the loss of their children so I'm sure most were in a daze. Only Archer took matters into his own hands and kept trying to figure out why. Now one thing that is harder to buy is no Ring cameras around the kid's house at any point to record all these kids flying towards the house.
  20. Yeah, I think my dad if he were still alive would argue that Disney was never about the middle class given how much he had to pay in 1986 when he took us after Star Tours opened. That was after staying offsite in a sleezy motel and driving in every morning for 3 days at WDW. We never took our kids to Disney World until we were in a much more secure financial position and that was after finding the best deal as far as dining, hotel, and park tickets. Disney vacations have always been a stretch for most people. Disney has been into analytics for decades. The fastpass system and keeping track of wait times are easy examples of that. Now Disney has shifted their focus some from kids to Disney Adults because that's an easy demo to hold as a captive audience. They buy merch, they buy popcorn buckets and other dumb collectibles, they go to bars and restaurants on sight, they are active promoters of Disney and Disney FOMO, and they spend more of their discretionary income than most families going once every few years. I'd argue where Disney is actually doing good work as far as Imagineering is in their restaurants and bars. The new Pirates bar at MK looks like a fun place to go and I'm sure it will do really well because it's a scene like the Oga's Cantina was for a time. Disney is spending a lot of resources on cruise ships now, probably more than most of the other arms of business. Maybe that's the new middle class Disney vacation. There's a reason we go to DLR vs. WDW. It saves at least 2-4K to do so, the weather is 1000X better, and I can fly into and out of SNA fairly easily. All that said, oldest said she'd love to have her graduation trip be to WDW again. Ugh.
  21. We just cancelled Netflix but I might have to buy a month for this. It's supposed to be Oscar caliber.
  22. Can this end with 10 paces and someone getting satisfaction?
  23. I don't rent a car when I go to Orlando because where am I driving to other than the airport? They have a shuttle that takes you to Animal Kingdom and MK but you can walk over to the Boardwalk and use their shuttles which we did for MK every time. We walked to Epcot and Hollywood Studios and took the boats back. I had zero issues with Swan and would stay there again. It was easily cheaper and offered more in a room than most of the other options for that same time frame we went during. I can't remember if we booked through Disney or not. I'm never booking through Disney going forward because you can always get a better deal online from a place like Getaway Today or Undercover Tourist. With the app, there's no real reason to book through Disney when you can just add tickets, at least for Disneyland.
