  1. Made gringo sushi rolls tonight for the first time. Got a half pound of tuna and a half pound of salmon from central market. Made some sushi rice and spicy mayo, cut up some cukes and some avocado, rolled them bitches and ate. ‘Twas good.

    EXACTLY. Why is it so hard for these idiots on this thread to understand this? In my business (selling scrap metal I steal from job sites) if I sign a contract it's my word which is my bond and cannot EVER be broken so how is a NFL contract any different? Guess what? It's not. So quit bitching and get out there and do your job just like everyone else because all jobs are the same. 

    I thought your job was evil genius/supervillian and owner of the Globex Corporation?

  3. This is fucked.  

    But also, WTF James?

    Inside, (James) finds two dead bodies, heads covered with bags, and his wife with a knife at her throat. As James turns to run, the murderer tackles him and slits his throat as well.

  4. It could also be Cine telling the Texas recruiting reporter nerds what the Texas recruiting reporter nerds want to hear, or the Texas recruiting nerds misrepresenting his words to make it seem like Texas is in a better position than they really are, or it could be that Texas is actually making up ground. No one knows shit.

  5. I am glad we have both Qb's plus the two incoming ones. I wish Sam could have red-shirted last season, but his various ups and downs will benefit him.
    Many people here don't understand how deeply committed he is to the team's success, as evidenced by the "Sam will transfer if he doesn't start" comments.
    Sam and the Horns are going to make a big move next season. Hook 'em.
     

    So you’re the Longhorn94 but for Westlake? Got it

  6. I lived in Chicago for 10 years. All above are great suggestions for family trip with a 6 and 3 y/o. Getting around is gonna be a bitch with a 3 y/o. Public transportation is gonna be your friend. Probably not worth renting a car because parking at most of these touristy locations is gonna be a bitch, and not sure if Uber and Lyft can send cars with car seats. Just something to consider. 

    Field Museum, aquarium, museum of science and technology, and lincoln park zoo would be super fun for you and your kids. Millennium Park will be fun to walk through with the bean and the faces (look it up). Architectural boat tour is very very cool but I would worry about a 3y/o on it. If your kid can sit for an hour and a half, then I'd go for it. If your kids need to walk around and will get frustrated being stuck on a boat with a lady talking about architecture, then it might not work. On a similar note, it might be fun to take a water taxi down to china town and walk around there. Plenty of cool shit, and some excellent dim sum. I'd say that the Art Institute is a must-see.

    Neighborhood festivals are fun. Looks like Wicker Park fest is going on while you're there. Not sure what kind of music you're into, but they usually have a bunch of great bands. This year Guided by Voices is playing for old indie rock dudes like me! But lots of good fun, street food, vendors, etc.

    It’s a Bloody Mary bar. They give you a glass of vodka and ice, and you handle the rest buffet style.

    I acknowledge I'm in the minority here, but I think bloody mary bars are absurd. I'm paying extra to mix my own drink? Fuck that. Make my bloody mary and give me a plate of shrimp and bacon and cheddar cheese cubes.

    This is the problem I have with the rankings. The number of stars is a good indicator of success but the system still has flaws. It is pretty apparent to many people that there are players under ranked like Brayden Liebrock and Roschon Johnson and there are others like Theo Wease who are highly overrated. 

    Our guys are underrated and their guys are overrated. I get it and I like it.

    Good stuff. A reference to a San Diego RB that won the Heisman could probably help with recruiting there too.

    I wonder if these kids know who Ricky Williams is, or how great he was. These kids were born four years after Ricky won his Heisman. He was already at the tail end of his career when they were like 4 years old.

    Kid's don't make a list and rate schools.  They go and get feel for the place.  Notre Dame has a classic old vibe and an old history and the Catholics dig it.  Stanford is calm and relatively nurturing.  Texas has energy and beautiful women.

    You lose kids to some schools that just feel different from yours.  That's all there is to it.

    All you can do is win and market yourself and not get pissy when you lose a few.

     

    We keep losing OL to Stanford. And we lose OL to Stanford because we haven't assembled a competent unit in more than a decade and they put OL in the league. It has little to do with "feel" and everything to do with being a black hole of suck at the position for 10+ years.

  11. While we're talking about awesome prince videos, if you've never seen this video of him playing Purple Rain for the first time live, check it out. This is actually the vocal track that ends up on the album. 

    A few amazing things about this video:

    • Wendy!
    • No cell phones!
    • No one knows the words!
    • There's an extra verse!
    • 13 minutes long!
    • 3:30 intro!

    Who is worked up about it?

    It’s not bad timing. They had bad information. A recruit does not go from wanting to go to Texas to a Stanford lock if admitted that quickly. They were either too optimistic in their interprepation of the information or they had bad info to start.

    So it’s your belief that Bragg was going to Texas Tuesday but then all in Stanford on Wednesday?

    He also said Texas was trending for Bragg and the new leader the day before it was out that he is going to Stanford. Unusual since he is arguably overly optimistic. 

    Well, you've posted 3 times this page alone pointing out that the $9.95ers were wrong. My point is "no shit".
