  1. Also not legal under current NIL. That being said, I'm sure there are ways around it.
  2. No one's giving up on Colin Simmons. Just like no one's giving up on Parker Livingstone. We're gonna have to fight tooth and nail to hold on through December .
  3. While eating last night I thought that adding olives would be nice. Good call on the capers and lemon zest. As I mentioned above, when I pulled it from the oven and took out the thighs and pepperoncinis, there was a bit too much fat/brine in the pan to properly brown the potatoes, so I reserved about 3/4 cup and browned the potatoes in the remaining fat. I think next time I'm going to pull the potatoes after browning, deglaze the pan (which had a ton of fond) with a little white wine, add back the fat and brine and reduce it down to a bit into a pan sauce to pour over everything.
  4. There's a thread for this dumbass conversation, dipshits.
  5. The potatoes really are the star. I had to actually reserve some of the fat/brine from the pan so the potatoes would brown up the way I like, and then poured that mixture back over the plated dish. Chef’s kiss. Will make again.
  6. Made that Bon Appetit Pepperoncini chicken thigh recipe that @South Austin first posted and it definitely fucks. Next time I’m gonna throw the whole jar of pepperoncinis in there, as the ten that the recipe called for got gobbled up quick. It’s relatively simple but it does take a lot of time to make
  7. It was a banged-out football team after App State, Billy.
  8. I'm not guaranteeing KJ Lacey ultimately signs with Texas, but QBs and WRs are VERY different. QBs tend to lock into a commitment and stick with it. WRs are WRs. We'll see what happens a year and a half from now.
  9. Well, he did. But then he said "fuck that shit, I'm going to flip to Ohio State" Everyone agrees that recruiting is headed in the right direction. We (expect to) sign the #1 overall player in Texas, which we have done only twice in the last 12 years in BJ Foster (of course the year we sign the top dude he ends up being a huge fucking bust) and 2015 in Malik Jefferson. Sark's kicking ass at recruiting. And, sure, it doesn't matter what position the services rank as the number 1 player. But letting the top player in the state go elsewhere is not good. We need those dudes to be competitive. We gotta start locking that shit down.
  10. Full disclosure, I had had a few whiskeys when I responded and what I thought was written in good-natured shit talking came off totally dickish. My bad and sorry 956. But I don't think your analogy is comparable. The guy at McDonald is punching an order into a computer, grabbing a bag of food someone in the back put together, and handing it to the customer. 956 wrote "So today at the bagel place there was one guy working, and he took the order then sliced/smeared the bagels and wrapped them up and handed them to me." So in this case, one guy is working the entire place, takes the order, makes the food, packaged everything up, etc. He facilitated the entire transaction. Bagel guy did more work. Certainly more work than a bartender opening a bottle of beer or even making a cocktail. However, unfortunately, "tipping culture" has blurred the lines of who we tip and who we don't, as well as how much we tip. And to reiterate on my second point, if I can get a whole burger AND wings for $12, I'm not gonna complain about them not making change. Basically because I can always use a debit card. Who ONLY carries cash, and who pays cash when you can use a card? I save my cash for transactions that REQUIRE cash like tipping hellhops and airport shuttle drivers. And again burger PLUS WINGS. $12? Sign me the fuck up.
  11. "So if you do less than a waiter, the tip is less than 20 and if you do more or more strenuous work, the tip goes up. " Immediately after you say that you go to a bagel place, place an order with the guy, he takes your order, makes your food, packages everything up, serves it to you, and you only tip "a bit over 10 percent." You're a cheap bastard. You're at a place where you can get a cheeseburger AND WINGS for twelve fucking dollars, and you're complaining that they won't make change? You're a cheap bastard.
  12. Unless Colin Simmons is Soso Jamabo, I don't think the percentage of asians at one school or the other makes much of a difference.
  13. That's a damn fine dick-duster you had back in the day, brat.
  14. Any douchebag that brings an acoustic guitar to play while sitting on the concrete bench at the deep end of Deep Eddy. We don't want to hear your little riff on "Under the Bridge", Chad. Also hate that guy at Barton Springs, but I can at least find another spot there.
  15. I think it’s fairly obvious he’s a silent to both. Which is why silent commits are, and always have been, completely meaningless. I figured he was going to LSU but their mod hedging makes me think that CS might not know where he’s going at this point.
  16. I think there was another thread about the absurdity of tip culture. In it I posted that at the new Moody Center they have kiosks where you can go to a fridge, grab a $15 beer and self-checkout. They're completely unstaffed except for a security guard there to make sure people don't steal shit. When you self-checkout, it asks for a tip. Fucking absurd. Are you sure it was for all tabs? Because most bars do this but only for all walked tabs. And I think it's a good system. I'd even pay 25%. I don't have to wait in line to close out and the bartenders don't have to waste time running my card and can serve more customers. Win-Win. Either way I'm fine with it. Don't want to tip 20%? Pay cash. But see how long it takes for you to get your second/third drink if you're not tipping appropriately.
  17. Never bet on the guys that are "sticking with their pick". I'm not saying he goes to LSU, but if I were a betting man, that's where my money would be.
  18. Impressive word soup. Whatchoo tryin' to say dude?
  19. Yeah. The point i was trying to make is that I haven’t heard a “new” popular rock band formed by people in their 20s in decades. All the groups you cite have been around for more than 20 years and are well into their 50s and 60s.
  20. I think a lot of me not understanding shit about modern popular music is because kids are not really into, or making, rock music. Am I wrong about that? Has a rock group that formed in the last 10 years had a number 1 album or song over that same period of time? I can imagine someone like Foo Fighters hitting number one based on nostalgic olds buying a new single/album.
  21. I don't want to say all music today sucks, because I recognize I'm 45 and no one's making music for my demographic. That being said, I don't really get it. My 7 year old son listens to the second song from that clip (or at least I think he does. It all sounds the same to me). I just don't get autotune rap and drill rap. I like a lot of rappers making music today like Freddie Gibbs (especially with madlib), Danny Brown, Kenrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, etc. And it's because I can actually understand the words they're saying. But most of those dudes are also old as fuck, and I'm an out of touch 45 year old white father of two.
  22. I mean, he put a video out explicitly explaining his perspective on the song. So if they still don't get it, they deserve to be surprised by the new video.
  23. So this video dropped this morning. Don't think it was planned, but it's pretty much the antithesis of Aldeanism. For those that like Tyler Childers, he announced a new record's coming out in September.
  24. So Tyler's back out there making noise, releasing the opposite side of the Jason Aldean coin. New album coming in September.
  25. From the post: I have no idea if the person who posted this is a man or a woman, so I'll use the "they" pronoun. The author didn't say it's not racist. One of the first comments on the post after it went viral was from someone asking why they downplayed the racism of the song. They acknowledged that the song was overtly racist, but basically said it was a more nuanced discussion, and that the post was their perspective as someone from a small town. At the time they had only four followers when they posted it and didn't expect anyone to see it.
