  1. Appointing a billionaire booster as the czar of all of college football seems like a smart decision.
  2. They also have Mario fucking Cristobal as their head coach.
  3. Excellent internetting.
  4. Class implosion season starting early for Clemson and Florida
  5. Regulation does not equal infringement. We've decided it's appropriate to regulate firearms like fully-automatic weapons. Precedent exists. But, I get it. It's fun to reply to people on the internet with words printed on the t-shirt you're wearing that you bought at a Flying J in Vidor, TX. Tomorrow you can come back with "Don't Tread on Me" or "Back the Blue" or "These boots taste delicious!"
  6. Hilarious. Also hilarious: Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s 2024 Report Card Introduced the fewest bills compared to Senate Sophomores Tuberville introduced 21 bills and resolutions in the 118th Congress. View Bills Β» Compare to all Senate Sophomores (0th percentile); Senate Republicans (12th percentile); All Senators (6th percentile). Got bipartisan cosponsors on the fewest bills compared to Senate Sophomores In this era of partisanship, it is important to see Members of Congress working across the aisle. 4 of Tuberville’s 21 bills and resolutions had a cosponsor from a different political party than the party Tuberville caucused with in the 118th Congress. Compare to all Senate Sophomores (0th percentile); Senate Republicans (4th percentile); All Senators (2nd percentile). Cosponsors who caucused with neither the Democratic nor Republican party do not count toward this statistic. Cosponsored the fewest bills compared to Senate Sophomores Tuberville cosponsored 228 bills and resolutions introduced by other Members of Congress. Cosponsorship shows a willingness to work with others to advance policy goals.

Joined bipartisan bills the least often compared to Senate Sophomores
  7. OK. Remove politicians from rule-making in the electoral process. State and federal legislative district maps should be created by independent third-party citizens and statisticians instead of allowing incumbent legislators and/or political parties to draw legislative maps. By addressing gerrymandering directly and illuminating objectivity and transparency, it might help to create more trust in the process and potentially provide some degree of protection against people who are inclined to believe conspiracy theories and think elections are rigged against their guy.
  8. I saw SUR and Y on the bond and thought it said "Surly Bond". Then I thought we'd gotten into the bail bond business, and I secretly was kind of excited about that.
  9. Implement regulations and laws requiring a minimum level of competency when operating a piece of equipment that has the potential to kill people. Require education and safety training like we do for automobiles.
  10. Someone should find these missing migrant children so that we can lock them in cages in the Florida everglades!
  11. Fuck. They're onto us. We're screwed. Our diabolical plan likely would have succeeded if it weren't for those meddling Aggies!
  12. I think the insinuation is he'll go to Florida when Billy gets shitcanned.
  13. I scrolled through this thread and didn't see this posted yet, which seems impossible given the subject. Submissions for Sweet Child O' Mine and Paradise City from the same album will also be considered.

    The only thing I know about this band is that they keep having to kick dudes out for sexual assault, and gaptoothsnodgrass makes fun of them a lot on instagram.
  15. I think the Rolling Stones are the biggest and best rock and roll band of all time, and I don't think it's particularly close. The Beatles were more influential, but I listen to the Stones 10x more often. Everyone's gonna list the monsters here - Paint it Black, Satisfaction, Sympathy for the Devil, Gimme Shelter, etc. There are no wrong answers. But for me, those tracks are ubiquitous. I hear them often enough that I don't need to seek them out, and their impact has been blunted by overexposure. Those songs are just so popular they no longer resonate in the way they used to. My favorite Stones tracks right now are: Rocks Off (the most underrated song in their catalogue. Starting Exile with this song, and then going into Rip This Joint told you right off the bat they're not fucking around. Shit, we could have a whole thread talking about Exile only) She's a Rainbow Shine a Light Factory Girl Angie Dead Flowers As is the case most of the time, my favorite songs are ballads written by rockers. It's probably why I love the Replacements so much...
  16. I love everything I've heard about the band except the music they make.
  17. This cycle is gonna be wild with Tech spending money like a chimp in a beat off contest.
  18. None of the Florida programs have their shit together.
  19. I'm not really understanding the stanning for the Klubniks. This may be a tough time for them, but it comes with the territory of the life they chose. You take the good, you take the bad, you take the rest and then you have the facts of life. Why is his dad religiously reading this website? We barely even talk about him here, and I don't think anyone has strong negative feelings toward the kid. I think most people generally cheer for him to do well. It's weird he would follow what little is said about his son here. I don't feel bad for parents of college athletes who are making millions of dollars off of their son. Those are problems that 99% of the world would love to have to "struggle" through. You know who else "never got a fair chance himself to be a star?" Pretty much everyone. Who is avoiding talking to the dad at the supermarket because Clemson isn't winning football games? Did his family move to wherever the fuck Clemson is? Or are they still in Westlake? That doesn't make sense to me.
  20. This is one of those bands that makes me say "what am I not getting here?". A ton of people whose music opinions I respect absolutely love them, but I do not understand the appeal at all. I've heard they're incredible live, so maybe that's the draw. But I feel like I'm getting lectured by an angry british guy when I listen to their albums. And I just don't find their songs all that appealing.
  21. Inherent Vice is probably his most polarizing and least popular film. It's the only one I've been unable to finish, and the only one I didn't enjoy on pretty much any level. Fwiw, it's probably the only film I'd tell someone who has never seen a PTA film to avoid. I'd start with Boogie Nights, as it is probably his most well known film. There Will Be Blood is his masterpiece. Magnolia is one my personal faves. Punch Drunk Love is also so very good and Sandler is amazing in it.
  22. Dabo = Mack Brown
  23. The 90s was fucking wild. I have only seen NIN twice way back in 94/95, and both shows were at Fair Park Coliseum in Dallas, and they were only four months apart. And according to this website, they played the exact same set in the exact same order. I mean, why? 1994-10-29 1995-02-11
  24. Saw Magnolia & Johnson Electric Company at 29th street last night. WIll Johnson of Centr0-Matic (and current member of the 400 Unit) played with the surviving members of Magnolia Electric Company. They played for nearly three hours. They closed the set with Farewell Transmission and it was pretty fucking electric. Very happy I went. Just a great experience.
