  1. The kits are out and Austin’s sucks ass. ESPN rating the kits. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39563280/mls-jersey-power-rankings-2024-style-icons
  2. My impression from his not listing Texas is that the Texas staff wants to be beaten out for his signature.
  3. The reason that you like “Won’t Be Home” (2004) so much is that it was written back in the meth-a-billy* mid-to-late 1990s. I had probably heard that song 7 to 10 times over a number of years when i saw the Old 97s at TREES (in Deep Ellum in Dallas) in late 2003 to 2004. Rhett announced that this next song was on their upcoming album. I was singing along in the middle of the crowd (no VIP for that show) and the guy next to me asked me how I knew the words. I told him that I’d heard it a ton of times over the years. I don’t know when it was first performed, but i think that Rhett had tinkered with the lyrics a bit and it didn’t fit the vibe of “Satellite Rides” and the stuff that Jon Brion produced for them, but it’s a great song live. *”meth-a-billy” is not a factual description, but a joke on my part to describe the speed rock-a-billy songs when Rhett would whip his sweaty head back in forth that led a doctor to tell him to stop and Philip would wail on the drums at a pace that must have been more than 200bpm. “Doreen” & “Time Bomb” are also fine examples of that era.
  4. If Christian Slater & Winona Ryder went to Lake Travis, he wouldn’t even make it to his high school graduation.
  5. The mom is probably upset because: -They won’t be able to use Texas’ interest when negotiating an initial bag from OU boosters. -The publicity may affect his long term NIL ceiling. She suck’s as a human being, but she’s a Sooner, so saying that may be redundant.
  6. Flops should be seen as a delay of game. -Warning, Yellow Card, Second Yellow Card Injured players should be give 30 seconds to get off the field at the nearest touch line where they can be tended to. Each 30 second time period should be seen as an individual Delay of Game. -Bloody head wounds, broken bones, and loss of consciousness/heart stoppages should be the only exceptions. -Flopping yellows should be awarded if film replays show flopping even if not detected by referees. -I would be for hands being required to be clasped behind all players’ back (other than the keeper) by all players in the box on set pieces until the ball enters the box. It would make skying for a header virtually impossible, but it would prevent 4 to 7 tackles occurring in the box on every set piece.
  7. All rules should be enforced. Then, if things seem overboard, the rules can be changed. Getting called for a foul because you got football/rugby tackled is fucking regarded.

    More internet whining (Facebook) about an under-appreciated pixie from Hershey, PA.
  9. Great goal, but I the opponents had tied or lost, #22 should have had to stand in the locker room with his arms behind his back as each teammate took a shot at his nuts with the soccer ball.
  10. Didn’t realize that Mirra had jumped up to the 33 ranking. Stearns is ranked 65th.

    USMNT 2024

    Gio Reyna played in Nottingham’ 2 Premier League matches before today’s match. You kind of missed his debut.
  12. Just randomly scrolled across this last night.
  13. Look what I just found… Yesterday’s post from Dallas, Texas. Perhaps he’s training at SMU. (Or T-Bar M) He’s been out for a bit. I spotted him at the Trader Joe’s @ Walnut Hill & Central Expressway. (3 miles straight up Central from SMU’s courts (the old Mrs. Baird’s Bread bakery). Maybe he/his parents have a tax shelter house in Preston Hollow.

    I hope that he’s been watching a lot of film of deep-lying midfielders who complete forward passes to attacking players that put them in dangerous positions. He’s had about a year off to actually learn a fundamental skill that he didn’t possess.
  15. Think that I just passed Jenson Brooksby coming out of a Dallas Trader Joe’s as I was walking in. Don’t think that that makes sense, but it was his doppelgänger if it wasn’t him, because he looked exactly like him.
  16. I feel like PSG has 3 to 3 1/2 month before they become completely irrelevant.
  17. Scrolled past a similar reminder on IG today. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2YZTL9vzCM/?igsh=MTAzeWkzN2QwajQxMw==
  18. Or Rice. Baseball academic school.
  19. This map was made by someone who has obviously never stepped foot in the state of Tennessee. Even Vanderbilt students who were born and raised in the state of Tennessee pull for the Vols. At least in football (baseball may be a different story), there is 0% of the state that pulls for the Commodores.
  20. Who are Texas’ TOP 5 Rivalries? 1) OU 2) Arkansas 3) A&M (I guess) 4) SMU ? 5) Rice / Baylor ? I’m stumped after the Top 3, because Kansas has only been basketball, TCU doesn’t register, Nebraska was only for about 15 to 20 years, and it was really one-sided, but it did also encompass women’s volleyball. LSU has never been what it could be. Just wondering who makes the TOP FIVE.
  21. In 5th grade, I was in Beginning Band. 1) Had a friend who was doing French Horn AND his left hand was in a soft cast from surgery or breaking it… ?? Anyway, it was a perfect mute cone that he had for the first 3 months of school, or so. 2) We spent more time listening to the teacher’s repetitive lecture than we did practicing. Band Master Mario Foster’s favorite sayings: A) “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” B) “You hear me, but you do not listen.” C) “[Random Student]! If you don’t stop talking, I’m going to plant my foot so far up your ass that we’re going to have to go to Nurse Eichenwald’s office to have it removed!” I was snare drum and we were in the back of the room. We spent so much time listening to him rant that I frequently did homework for the next class because the snare was a desk and the music stand was a blinder.
  22. I use “shat” for the simple past of “to shit”. I also probably still use “shat” for the past participle of “to shit” when former the present perfect, past perfect, future perfect, but not when converting the verb “shit” into an adjective like most verbs. I just use “shit” as the adjective.
  23. Probably taking class field trips to Target.
