  1. That's because they're preordained to go 8-4. No sense overthinking this.
  2. Some of y'all get so worked up about the dumbest shit. The kid threw a Texas hat on the ground. He didn't fuck your wife. Let it go.
  3. Maybe a dumb question - how much does Texas have tied up retaining the current roster? How much "salary cap" do they have for this incoming class? Do we have any idea? I guess I'm wondering how all these programs are reconciling the new "cap" with what has already been committed to the current roster. I had assumed we were already well over $20m with just the current guys on the team.
  4. Honestly, Carlton is exactly the kind of guy a program like Baylor (and previously Tech, before the Double Eagle guys came around) should be looking to money-whip. He's not quite good enough for UT or Ohio State to blow a huge bag on because they'll have higher-profile targets. But Baylor could offer more and make him one of the focal points of the defense. If he turns into a stud, he could have a bigger impact there than he might have splitting time at Texas.
  5. Or you could just give a guy a bag with a half mil in it and not worry about anything because you'll never get in trouble for breaking the rules.
  6. The only person ranking him as a 5 star at this point is Gerry. I’m thrilled to have him though.
  7. I look at it like this - we may have lost a recruit, but we gained a villain. How much fun was it saying "fuck the brocks" and then watching them such shit through a straw at Bama? The answer? A FUCK TON of fun. Now we get to do that with Ojo, but instead of sucking at a real program like Bama, he went to fucking Texas Tech! Hilarious!
  8. Jesus, fellas. Act like you’ve been here before. Jeesh!
  9. Addams Family is fucking awesome. One that I love that is underappreciated was the Sopranos.
  10. Please ignore the carpet stains. Our dogs have chosen that room to throw up when they eat too much of their own shit. They're fucking gross.
  11. Here’s my juke box. It’s heavy on crowd-pleasing classic rock and country
  12. My grandfather started a vending business in the 70s and sold arcade games, pool tables, air hockey, foosball, crane machines, etc. Basically anything you put quarters in, he sold. We had a Galage (my favorite game ever), Ms Pac Man, a Cyclone pinball table, juke box, and a pool table at the house permanently. We also used to rotate in a few games and had Joist, Spy Hunter, Star Wars (fucking loved that game), Pole Position, Donkey Kong, Tapper, Frogger, etc... It was awesome. I used to have sleepover birthday parties at his warehouse and he would turn on about 50 arcade games and we'd drink all the sodas from the soda machine (which was mostly filled with beer) and play video games till like 2am. Pinballz seems to do everything this new adult Chucky Cheese arcade does. I love pinballz, but my only complaint is that my 9 and 11 year olds can blast through a couple $100 cards in less than an hour. I've still got an old 45 juke box. When friends come over we just turn that on and let people play whatever they want. I played about 1000 games of Street Fighter 2 at Crystal's, as I went to both grade school and high school across the street at St. Rita and Jesuit. Sorry we were all a pain in the ass. However, I did something similar when I worked at the TCBY at Preston/Forest in 1994/1995. I would leave all the frozen yogurt machines on when I closed. We would go see a rock show down in Deep Ellum where the age of admission at most of the clubs playing punk/indie shows was 16. We would go back to TCBY after the show and make gigantic sundaes and eat them with the WW2-vet security guard at midnight. That was kinda fun.
