Hooded Menace - just listened to all their stuff from beginning to end. Tritonus Bell remains my favorite. Mudvayne? C'mon, man.... 😉

I wonder how much Retzlaff misses Provo.

You don't just prance into 5th 3rd Field in Kennesaw and expect to convert a 4th and goal from the 1 with 30 seconds left, down by 28.

Damn, I'd better get off my ass and head over to Kennesaw. $9 ticket is tough to beat

I haven't slept since I got back from Gainesville. Eagerly anticipating the UTEP game.

Fun Gainesville fact: as in Austin, there are lots of bats, with "bat houses" on campus. https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/bats/

Locklear throws another TD. Alas, to the wrong team. 30-11 LA Tech.

Skylar Locklear rallying the Miners. I wonder if any team has ever lost to LA Tech and ULM at home on consecutive weekends.

Why waste your time on those minor games when you could be watching the Miner game? No score yet at the Sun Bowl after a Malachi interception.

I lived in DC at the time and considered driving to Charlottesville. Glad I didn't.

Beer 2025: Merry Christmas Everyone, Including the Haters and Losers
I bought a 4-pack to take home. I like the style, too, but I'm surprised it's (sort of) finding a following over here. When I lived in Prague/Brno in the mid-90s, you would see it on tap, but hardly anyone ever ordered it. I remember it being more along the lines of a Schwarzbier (a little sweet), rather than a Dunkel (roastier), but the US versions here tend more toward the latter. Of course, it's been a while since I've had a Czech beer in the Czech Rep. There was absolutely none of the side-pull lukr stuff back then either. That must have been recently resurrected from the pre-communist times.

I thought it was pretty good, but not outstanding. The best food I had in Gainesville was at a dive bar.

I miss that one as well, but Amber ales aren't exactly huge sellers these days. Full Sail used to distribute their Amber here, but no more. Same with Ballast Point. Not sure if the latter still brews that one.

Shall we talk about heavy music?
I'm going through the discography chronologically (like Maiden), and I'm leaning in that direction. However, I have always enjoyed the debut LP. The 2007 releases, Hope & Horror and Shadows in the Light, made me pay attention. None of the individual songs really stand out, but I dig the general vibe, and some of the leads are noticeably awesome.

Dive bar in the northern part of town with better than average bar food and great beer selection (and beer store next door): https://thecraftybastards.com/ Another pretty good brewpub close to campus and downtown: https://www.cypressandgrove.com/
