What station is it broadcast on? English announcers could learn a lot from Ruben.
The internet tells me that the flagship station for the Spanish Longhorn Radio Network broadcasts is KZNX in Austin, 1530 AM. Also might be on 104.9-2 on the HD FM dial if I am reading it right.

Aren't there a few pilots here on Surly? If so, did any of them work for British Airways?
QuoteA BRITISH Airways pilot snorted coke off a woman’s bare breasts before trying to fly a packed jet to the UK.
Married Mike Beaton, of Devon, boasted of his drug and drink orgy to a stewardess friend, admitting: “I’ve been a very naughty boy.”
The appalled pal reported him to bosses who cancelled last month’s flight from Johannesburg to London, then drug-tested and sacked him.
First Officer Mike Beaton was about to fly from South Africa to London when a worried stewardess raised the alarm.
Shocked bosses then cancelled the 12-hour flight, costing the airline an estimated £100,000.
The dad of one was suspended then flown home the next day as a passenger, before being drug-tested at Heathrow.
When that proved positive, he was sacked.
BA’s latest booze-fuelled drama came to light after Beaton flew to Johannesburg, where he had downtime before he was scheduled to co-pilot a return flight to London.
However, his night off descended into debauchery, which he then described in intimate detail in texts to his stewardess colleague, who was a close pal.
Beaton told her that he met two local lads, a female Welsh holidaymaker and a “young Spanish bird” at a nightclub in the city.
The pilot boasted: “We all walk (stagger) back up to the hotel bar for ‘one last one before bed’.
“Welsh and one of these guys is getting on very well, but she’s told him that I’m her boyfriend.
“Couple of drinks in the bar, bit of snogging, and then we’re somehow all on our way to this dude’s flat.
"Welsh has decided that I should actually be her boyfriend — Spanish has hooked up with one of the two local lads and is having her t**s sucked on their sofa.”
He bragged about how the “girls are dancing topless”, and he decided to strip off too — before some Class A drugs arrived.
The ex-pilot went on: “I’ve lost my shirt somewhere and one of the local lads produces a plate with a few lines of coke.
"So then there’s a debate about whose chest is the best to do a bump off.”
He added triumphantly: “That’s the story of how I ended up snorting coke off a girl’s t**s in Joburg.”
Beaton then admitted the evening had taken its toll, confessing: “Stayed the night with Welsh, sh** her for ages (I guess the coke played a part) and then was so f** I couldn’t even lift my head until gone 2.”
An airline source said yesterday BA has been left in shock at the behaviour of their former employee, who runs a hot tub retreat in Devon with wife Jagoda.
They told The Sun: “Of all the bad behaviour that goes on downroute between flights, this incident is hard to believe.
“A First Officer is trained rigorously and knows the law inside out. Their remit is protecting the safety of passengers.
“This behaviour was the opposite of what is expected of British Airways pilots. The airline is in shock. This pilot has hoisted himself by his own petard.
“The idea of sending details of his drink and drugs session to a stewardess between flights is extraordinarily dumb.
“Furious managers followed protocol and the pilot was drug-tested on his return to the UK.
“The alcohol would no longer have been found in his system, but the Class A drug was. He will never fly again.”
The scandal is the latest wild tale of BA crew on boozy nights out.
Earlier this month we revealed how a stewardess was nicked outside a strip club in Miami after downing drinks with crew from rivals Virgin Atlantic.
In April we told how a BA pilot was reported to cops in Singapore after allegedly sexually assaulting a stewardess on a boozy night out.Last March it emerged staff were banned from all-inclusive deals in the Maldives after a drunk stewardess passed out on a beach.
Last night, BA sources insisted there was no risk to passengers following their pilot’s Johannesburg binge four weeks ago.
An airline spokesman told The Sun: “Safety is always our top priority.
"The matter was referred to the CAA and this individual no longer works for us.”
The Civil Aviation Authority has withdrawn his medical certificate — banning him from the flight deck.
A CAA spokesman told us: “An airline must immediately inform us if a UK pilot has misused drink or drugs boarding, or being on board, an aircraft.
“In these cases we would immediately suspend the pilot’s medical which means they cannot fly.
“In most cases the pilot would have an assessment with an expert medical team and if they wished to return to flying then a comprehensive rehabilitation programme would be put in place."The medical would only be reinstated if we were completely satisfied.”
Last night Beaton’s wife declined to comment at their £750,000 home, saying: “You must speak to my husband about it.”
FIRST Officer Mike Beaton laid bare the graphic details of his Johannesburg stopover in texts.
A source said the sacked pilot was “extraordinarily dumb” to spill the beans to a stewardess, who raised the alarm.

Actual article on CBS Sports right now.
Short version: some stats are slightly better than last year for Iowa, so things are improving.
QuoteThe Iowa offense looked worse on Saturday than it has in a long time, which is saying a lot considering we're talking about the Iowa offense. The unit was so terrible last year that it felt compelled to tell the world that if the team did not average 25 points per game this season then Hawkeyes offensive coordinator Brian Ferentz, son of legendary Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, would be ousted.
Saturday night felt different, though. The Hawkeyes lost to Penn State 31-0 in Happy Valley, but the score didn't tell the whole story. The most damning statistic wasn't the zero points or that Iowa averaged only 2.3 yards per play. It wasn't even that the Hawkeyes finished with nearly half as many first downs (4) as punts (7).
No, it was that Penn State ran nearly three times as many plays on offense as Iowa did. Penn State snapped the ball on offense 97 times to Iowa's 33. There was a moment late in the third quarter where Penn State had run more plays during the second quarter (28) and third quarter (29) than the Hawkeyes had in the entire game to that point (25).
It was perhaps the most inept performance in a long, ugly list full of them from Iowa offenses over the years. You can point to the substantial number of injuries the Hawkeyes are dealing with (and there are a lot of them), but not even that does enough to explain away the futility of Saturday night in State College, Pennsylvania.
Here's the craziest part of all: Yes, you're aware that Brian Ferentz is behind on keeping up his end of the bargain as it relates to the goal of 25 points per game and that Iowa has only reached the 25-point mark once in four games, but did you know this? Iowa's offense has been better this year than last. Seriously, it has.
It still stinks, and I would rather undergo a rectal exam than watch an Iowa offensive possession, but the numbers don't lie. Iowa is scoring 19.0 points per game on offense this season compared to 14.15 per game last year. While points are the ultimate arbiter of games, they're the result of a process and there are improvements in other areas. You just have to look really hard to find them.
Now, if you look at the raw numbers in that table, you see some spots where there's an improvement. But raw numbers can be misleading. I've added Iowa's percentile ranks to provide more context with how the offense stacks up nationally. The higher the percentile, the better.
Of the 10 statistics listed here, Iowa has improved its percentile ranking in eight of them. The only two spots where it's gotten worse are passing success and turnover rate. What's somewhat surprising, given all the offseason hype surrounding transfers on offense (new QB, TE, WR), is that the biggest leap has been in the run game.
The Hawkeyes have made significant strides running the ball, which is pivotal for their overall philosophy and a key to their long-term success. The problem is Iowa's run game is still well below average and it's paired with a passing attack that may be improving but remains anemic. Throw more turnovers on the pile for an offense that can't score, and things snowball quickly.
Also, I'd be doing a disservice if I failed to point out that Iowa hasn't gotten through Big Ten play yet. These numbers could all come crashing down by the end of the season as the schedule gets more difficult (theoretically, anyway), so I don't know what conclusions we can reach based on any of this.
You could take the pessimistic approach and say that none of this matters, the offense is terrible and will remain that way. I wouldn't blame you. Nor would I blame you if you told yourself that the improvements could continue, even if incrementally, and a healthier roster might only improve them further. I'm a Chicago Bears fan, so I'm no stranger to being delusional.

I have this sick desire to see Iowa go 10-2 this year while winning every game something like 17-10 just to see what happens with the coaching staff and administration. It is a given that Kirk Ferentz is going nowhere, but would Brian really be fired if they won 10 games but did not hit the 325 points mark? Like the car wreck that you just can't not watch, I can't not watch this little sub-plot to the season.

Is there any chance that the guest picker is someone other than Coach K?
I suppose they could keep it in house and bring out Jay Bilas to rag on the NCAA with every pick.

Las Vegas strip club offers free lap dances to MGM guests affected by cyberattack
QuoteLas Vegas visitors who got stressed out by the cyberattack can unwind at a strip club ... where they're offering up free lap dances, among several other perks, for affected tourists.
Larry Flynt's Hustler Club in Las Vegas is going the extra mile to make sure MGM Resorts guests who were caught up in the cyberattack still have a great time in Sin City.
Among the freebies for those who had their trips thrown for a loop ... free airport pickup, luggage storage for those experiencing check-in delays, complimentary $1,200 platinum VIP membership and lap dances on the house.
The GM of Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club Brittany Rose tells TMZ ...“Our hearts go out to both the employees as well as the tourists who have been affected by this devastating event. As members of the hospitality industry, we decided to do our part to help improve the guest experience during their visit to Las Vegas which will in turn alleviate the stress of the employees who are so diligently handling the situation.”
As we reported ... the cyberattack started at the beginning of the week, preventing some guests from getting into their rooms or checking in altogether. The attack then spiraled into issues with casino slot machines and the phone lines went down, among other issues.
Larry Flynt's says guests who are at least 21 years old just need to show proof of a valid hotel reservation at any MGM property from this week to take advantage of the freebies, but the free fun ends Sunday.
The cyberattack at MGM proved to be a boom for another Sin City gentlemen's club ... Strip Club Concierge tells us their club saw a spike in foot traffic, reservations and ride service usage in the wake of the attack ... with strippers bringing in up to $2,000 more per night.

Hollywood (not that Hollywood) man accused of torching car of then-girlfriend, who’s also his cousin
QuoteMIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Miami-Dade police arrested a 37-year-old Hollywood man Wednesday after accusing him of lighting a car on fire back in April.
Police said the car belonged to Melvin Alain Cintron’s then-girlfriend, who also happened to be his cousin.
According to an arrest report, Cintron was caught on camera April 29 lighting the Jaguar XE sedan on fire in front of a home along Northwest 120th Street and Fifth Avenue, near North Miami. Police said he also left a cellphone behind.
Police said they determined soon after that the vehicle belonged to Cintron’s girlfriend and cousin, but weren’t able to interview her until Monday after failed attempts to contact her over the subsequent months following the crime.
She said she initially lied to investigators and told them the car caught fire as she drove home because she feared reprisals from Cintron, who made her put the phone on speaker whenever she spoke to investigators, the report states.
The woman told police that she fears Cintron in part because he regularly carries a fully automatic gun with a double-drum high capacity magazine, which she told officers he refers to as the gun’s “t-----s,” due to the two round drums on the sides of the magazine, the report states.
She also told police that Cintron stole her purse and left her stranded at Miami’s Bayside Marketplace Friday after the two got into an argument because he thought she was flirting with the bartender. The purse contained numerous items, including $1,200 in cash, police said.
After issuing a warrant Monday, police said officers later located Cintron outside of a business east of Hialeah and arrested him at gunpoint Wednesday.
As of Thursday afternoon, he was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $12,500 bond on charges of second-degree arson and third-degree grand theft.

I've seen a bunch of SEC fans from other schools lately talking about Texas-Alabama being the "new rivalry" in the SEC. 9-2-1 is not a rivalry. Alabama is just another chump school who got lucky they didn't have to constantly play Texas while they became a "blueblood" just like Nebraska. LMFAO everybody wants to be Texas' rival. The SEC is a bunch of bratty children with losing records to Daddy Texas. Conference pride is for bottom-feeders.
Texas is 3-8-1 all time against Vanderbilt. And South Carolina has scoreboard on Texas right now (one game played, a 27-21 SC win in Austin in 1957).
The bratty children part, however, is not incorrect.

Drunk stripper attempts to seduce police officer, asks to be tased because "she likes it kinky"
She also pissed her pants in the back of the police cruiser if you are into that.
QuoteA 'drunk' stripper was caught trying to seduce an Ohio police officer during her hit-and-run traffic stop in newly released body cam footage.
Grace Spoonamore, 20, was taken into custody by Brunswick police in April after she allegedly slammed into a Chevy Cruze within clear view of a uniformed officer.
In footage from the arrest, Spoonamore - who appears visibly intoxicated - attempts to flirt and seduce the officer, even telling him to taser her as she 'likes it kinky.'
At one point, as the officer tells her to get into the police car, Spoonamore calls him 'handsome man' and says: 'You feel some type of way cause my leg ain't in the car?'
An edited version of the original one-hour bodycam video has gone viral on YouTube, amassing more than 1 million views in four days.
According to a police report obtained by DailyMail.com, the 20-year-old woman was driving in a blue Buick Enclave which came back with felony warrants attached.
The officer observed the woman speed off at a green light and slam into another car, prompting him to begin following her as she appeared to be fleeing from him.
The cop eventually pulled her over, and the officer noted Spoonamore appeared disoriented with bloodshot eyes and slurred speech.
In the video, she initially denies being under the influence but then tells the officer that she had 'two doubles' of patron at 'Trick's' house.
She later told a second responding officer that she had really had three doubles, which amounts to six total drinks.
After being put in handcuffs, Spoonamore is asked if she has anything on her, which causes her to laugh and tell the officer, 'I don't know, you want to check me?'
As she is sitting in the patrol car, Officer Dominick Demedal asks the Georgia native what her current address is, which she refuses to give.
'Don't worry bout all that,' she responds. 'I'm not giving it to you.'
'What are you going to do if I don't?' she asks.
'Charge you with obstruction,' he says.
'Construction of what?' she responds before he states 'official business.'
'Okay, that's cool, I don't care,' Spoonamore yells back.
During another wild moment, Demedal is caught off guard as Spoonamore tells him that she is a stripper at an undisclosed club.
'Where's that,' he responds.
'What the f**k do you mean what's that?' she states. 'You know.'
As Demedal is filling out the paperwork for the arrest and prior to her alcohol and drug testing, Spoonamore allegedly spat on Brunswick Officer Robert Dugan.
The incident was not caught on camera but the moments after show Spoonamore kicking on the car's plexiglass divider as the officer tries to speak with her.
Minutes later, she is seen crying and telling the officers she doesn't trust them and asks if she can step out of the patrol car and talk to the two male officers 'woman to woman.'
Another peculiar moment during the arrest comes when one of Spoonamore's buddies approaches the officers and tells them she is looking for her friend.
The unidentified woman tells officers that Spoonamore had 'left the family function and was in this area' and was concerned for her.
The officers then tell her about the drunk driving, hit-and-run, and the assault on a police officer, saying: 'Yeah, she's going to jail.'
Cops then ask the friend if they can give her address or tell them how long she has lived in the Northeast Ohio area but she says she doesn't know and asks 'why does that matter?'
As the officers were carting the Georgia woman off to the police station, she threatens to 'piss on' the officer's face, but only if he 'likes it.'
She ultimately does pee her pants in the backseat of the cruiser.
'I couldn't help it,' she says as they walk into the police station.
While standing and waiting for her mugshot to be taken, she repeatedly attempts to take off her pants while the officer looks for a female officer to help her.
Spoonamore steps out of the blue box taped on the floor as he tells her to stay there until she steps to him and says she would be okay with getting tasered.
'You want to tase me? Do it. I like it. I like it kinky,' she says.
As the officers take the woman back out of the station and to a patrol car, she begins screaming and crying and claiming that they are going to rape her.
'You're going to rape me, stop trying to rape me,' she calls out.
She then lays down and resists being put in the vehicle to go to the hospital, kicking and yelling that they are trying to take her 'down to Mexico.'
The officers comment on the odd Mexico statement while she sits in the car screaming, asking 'where does that come into play?' to no answer.
Online, some social media users have speculated and wondered if the 20-year-old from Georgia may have been sexually trafficked.
The video ends with Spoonamore and Demedal in the patrol vehicle on the way to the hospital as she continues to weep.
The woman was ultimately arrested on suspicion of speeding, operating a vehicle under the influence, obstructing official business and simple assault on an officer.
Medina County court records show she has been charged with at least one count of harassment with a bodily substance, purportedly for spitting on the officer.
Spoonamore will next appear before a judge on September 18 for pretrial.
Her criminal trial is set to begin October 2 in Brunswick.

Which Surly boat owner is this?
QuoteA retired surgeon arrested aboard his luxury yacht last week after a police raid has terminal cancer, his lawyer has claimed - after cops found him partying with an assortment of 'guns, drugs and prostitutes' aboard the vessel.
Previously practicing in Colorado, 69-year-old Scott Burke had his 80-foot stormed in Massachusetts' Nantucket Harbor this past Tuesday - and was hit with a series of charges as a result.
Hit with felonies like possession a firearm without a permit and possession and trafficking Class A and B drugs, he was released on bail to the tune of $200,000 on Thursday, after pleading not guilty to the drug and weapons charges.
A new report out of the tiny New England isle claims that arrangement was only offered after attorney Henry Brennan - who once represented local crime boss Whitey Bulger - went up to bat for his affluent client using a bizarre defense.
The argument, The Nantucket Current reports, saw Brennan claim that Burke has an unspecified type of terminal cancer, now stage 4 and has not much longer to live.
After the claims saw the doctor temporarily released, they were later echoed by a captain who regularly works the harbor - though the account was somewhat dubious, and raised more questions than answers.
A new report out of the tiny New England isle claims that arrangement was only offered after attorney Henry Brennan - who once represented local crime boss Whitey Bulger - went up to bat for his affluent client using a bizarre defense.
The argument, The Nantucket Current reports, saw Brennan claim that Burke has an unspecified type of terminal cancer, now stage 4 and has not much longer to live.
After the claims saw the doctor temporarily released, they were later echoed by a captain who regularly works the harbor - though the account was somewhat dubious, and raised more questions than answers.
As for the captain who addresses those claims, but asked to remain anonymous while speaking to The New York Post, has he recently had given a ride to two people delivering 'cancer medication' to Burke's boat, the Jess Conn, the day after the doctor was cuffed.
'I took out somebody who claimed to be a friend of the owner. He claimed to be bringing somebody - and I now know it's the owner - his cancer medication to him,' said the captain, who added he people he gave a ride to then appeared to return with 'more stuff than they went out with.'
Earlier in the week, Burke was charged with possessing a firearm without a permit, having ammunition, as well as possession and trafficking of Class A and B drugs.
In court documents obtained by the Current, investigators, including a DEA special agent, boarded and searched the Jess Conn at 3:25pm, following 'report of a female party, on board a yacht, who did not want to be there, was under the influence of narcotics, and possibly has overdosed.'
They went on to confiscate 43.4 grams of cocaine, 14.1 grams of ketamine, and two pistols - a .380 Smith Wesson Shield and a 9mm Smith & Wesson - along with various ammunition, and found several woman said to be prostitutes by sources who spoke to the Current.
That said, no charges alleging prostitution have been filed, and there was no mention of such activity in the Nantucket Police Department's reports with the incident.
Prosecutors also did not mention prostitution over the course of the hearing.
'Anybody who is an anonymous source can say anything they want,' Brennan told the Current.
'Even the government never alleged prostitution or sex trafficking...You didn't hear a whisper of any type of that behavior. I find it disgusting, morally offensive, and it's slandering a good person.'
After police cuffed him, Burke allegedly confessed to owning the guns, and he told the officers where other weapons aboard the vessel were stores.
In their report, law enforcement officers wrote: 'Scott Burke does not possess a valid [license to carry] or [firearm identification] card.'
Pictures obtained by DailyMail.com also appear to show the man spending the holiday season with his wife Ellen, 65, and two children, Jessica and Connor aboard a similar boat in 2017 - also called the Jess Conn.
Burke, was arraigned on Wednesday in Nantucket District Court in connection with the incident after authorities boarded Tuesday morning following a call about a woman who had possibly overdosed and wanted to leave the vessel.
Burke also claimed he has licenses for the guns but authorities said it had been issued outside Florida and expired last year.
In a statement, Nantucket Police confirmed that the woman was taken to Nantucket Cottage Hospital after reports that she needed 'medical assistance' on Tuesday at 7.45am.
They added: 'As a result of this information, the boat was identified and located within the Nantucket Harbor Anchorage.
'Authorities responded to the boat and located the involved woman and identified the owner who was also onboard.
'The owner of the boat was arrested by Nantucket Police Department for one count of Possession of a Firearm without a license. This case remains under investigation at this time.'
Burke, who also owns a $2.3million mansion in Englewood, Colorado, appears to have named the vessel after his children.
He set up a medical insurance company where both his children work, and appears to have owned several other crafts.
He is also the manager of JessConn Charters - based in Florida - though it is unclear how much or if he was charging customers to travel on a vessel used in that venture.
It recently ran aground in Florida in May, but appears to have escaped without significant damage in the incident.
Coast Guard Station Brant Point's executive petty officer Jeff Wecal confirmed that his crew is assisting the Nantucket Police Department in its investigation.
The boat was designed by Jeff Leishman, and boasts four decks of over 24 meters each.
It has three large guest cabins, an owner's cabin, a laundry room, as well as a main saloon and formal dining room.
The yacht also has a hot tub on board, and can house up to eight guests as well as accommodation for two crew members. It was registered in the Cayman Islands.
According to public records, Burke has a hearing in Nantucket scheduled for October. He is allowed to remain in Florida until then.

Came across this press release today. Twenty-two years after the towers came down, remains of victims from the World Trade Center are still being identified.
QuoteSeptember 8, 2023
Represent 1,648th and 1,649th Persons Identified Since 2001 Using Advanced Testing by City’s DNA Laboratory
NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York City Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jason Graham today announced two new identifications of victims from the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. The man and woman, whose names are being withheld at the request of their families, are the 1,648th and 1,649th persons to be identified by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) using advanced DNA testing of remains recovered from the attack that took the lives of 2,753 people.
“As we prepare to mark the anniversary of September 11, our thoughts turn to those we lost on that terrible morning and their families who continue to live every day with the pain of missing loved ones,” said Mayor Adams. “We hope these new identifications can bring some measure of comfort to the families of these victims, and the ongoing efforts by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner attest to the city’s unwavering commitment to reunite all the World Trade Center victims with their loved ones.”
“More than 20 years after the disaster, these two new identifications continue to fulfill a solemn pledge that OCME made to return the remains of World Trade Center victims to their loved ones,” said Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Graham. “Faced with the largest and most complex forensic investigation in the history of our country, we stand undaunted in our mission to use the latest advances in science to serve this promise.”
The two new identifications used all the current capabilities of the city’s DNA laboratory operated by OCME to generate results after more than two decades of negative testing attempts. Techniques include recently adopted next-generation sequencing technology — more sensitive and rapid than conventional DNA techniques — which has been used by the U.S. military to identify the remains of missing American servicemembers.
The identification of the man was confirmed through DNA testing of remains recovered in 2001. The identification of the woman was confirmed through DNA testing of remains recovered in 2001, 2006, and 2013. The two identifications are the first new identifications of World Trade Center victims since September 2021. Some 1,104 victims — 40 percent of those who died — remain unidentified. In addition to the two new identifications this year, OCME has identified 60 human remains associated with previously identified individuals. The latest World Trade Center operational statistics are available from OCME upon request.
Established in 1918 as the nation’s first comprehensive medical examiner office, OCME provides the public with the highest standards of service across the forensic sciences. The agency operates the largest and most advanced DNA public crime laboratory in North America and houses laboratories in toxicology and histology, in addition to the nation’s only public molecular genetics laboratory. OCME is home to the country’s largest forensic pathology training program, having produced more than one-fifth of the nation’s board-certified forensic pathologists since 1990. OCME also houses a department of forensic anthropology and maintains a division of specially trained experts to respond to any and all mass fatality events and disasters.

When I was in school OU did it some, but it was mainly aggy. I don't remember it from anybody else. I don't know who started it, but its a very aggy thing to do.
I don't really remember even aggy doing it when I was in school. But then again I don't remember much of anything from when I was in school.
When other schools outside of OU do it, it doesn't bother me but more annoys me. Feels like they are just copying OU. Strangely, when Sooners do the horns down, it doesn't bother me and on some weird convoluted level I even respect it coming from a land thief. I think it has something to do with the length of time Texas and OU have been playing each other and the fact that OU at least has does something in its history in terms of winning championships. I mean, Alabama certainly has won titles but since they are not an annual game them doing the horns down just feels fake and superficial. When the old SWC schools and Big XII schools not named OU do it, none of whom have done much of anything in terms of titles, same thing. Just a bunch of wannabe posers.
