  1. Man.. I am so excited about all the foreshadowing with Kirsh. God damn I can't wait for him to go rouge. So much shit going on. Eye squid did not disappoint and man that post was creepy. Still waiting on dripping goo vulva and vampire caterpillar to surface. Nibs going full Aileen Wuoros, Slightly going off reservation and sticking with source material in that regard, man... this series really fucks.
  2. I'm really glad I quit drinking before Amazon deliveries really became a thing.
  3. Found THIS Homer breakdown on the Husker thread. Would be curious about your thoughts as it seemed like a good one to me. However, I don't know what I don't know and it was a homer.
  4. I bet she serves a damn fine cup of coffee. That said, I've had enough of morons and half-wits, dolts, dunces, dullards, and dumbbells.
  5. I'll give you a 2 for 1 that I frequently see idiots mistake for the other. Red herring which is to bring up a subject or item to distract folks from the primary subject and albatross which is an inescapable historical burden on someone, most commonly psychological. Examples always help. AnotherLawyer is using this idiom discussion as a red herring to move thoughts away from the Surly albatross. While I applaud his efforts, he should bite the bullet, stop beating around the bush and quit crying over spilled milk.
  6. 2, 1, 3, 4 x, x, x, x I'd use my old tried and true pick up line for 1-2 that never failed. "I only wore football jerseys when I was playing."
  7. Bjork is extremely problematic for multiple reasons. How he/OSU handled the Portnoy issue was sloppy as fuck for example. I know it's shocking a Surly poster doesn't like Bjork, but I'm really glad he's at OSU. Such as?
  8. Sadly, rage baiting is a very lucrative gig on social media these days. So.. yeah there is unfortunately.
  9. We should probably start a thread, if one doesn't exist, of good podcasters. We shit on bad ones, which I support, but to be clued in to some I'm unaware of would be nice. Perhaps it already exists and I'm clueless? Klatt, The Film Guy and College Football Nerds all have been discussed and posted here and those are my personal top 3. Would love to find more.
  10. Yeah, anywhere along High Street close to downtown area is plenty safe. I don't think I'd take kids there but otherwise I'd say it's less sketchy than 6th these days.
  11. Sadly, with Mike Leach's passing the lead lyrical writing genius will prevent it from ever getting a huge hit. In good news, they could dedicate one song to specific Surly posters and a former Longhorn QB.
  12. I fully agree that for these teams and more specifically this season for these teams this is being over emphasized as critical. I'd be pretty shocked if both don't end up in the cfp and likely the semi-finals or in a semi-final match up. That said, right now, broad strokes, its hard to argue that two teams are on a better trajectory. One could reasonably add Oregon and Georgia into the mix for the 4 best programs in the country currently. Given that reality, both teams lost similar amounts of talent to the NFL and both start new QBs. Plus it's a massive match-up of 1 vs 2 in the "first" weekend of the year. So which team can reload faster between the two best programs in the country has never, in my recollection, ever occurred the first game of the year. When you add the massive Arch question into the mix it's going to feel absolutely enormous, not only for the fans of the respective teams but for all lovers of college football. Just a few years ago losing 1 game could eliminate you from even competing for the national championship, and that reality echoes in the college football mind.
  13. I really liked Ewers, Major, Simms, Colt and Sam. I absolutely loved Vince Young. Does that make me racist? Or is that the exception that proves the rule?
  14. You say peak more ass off season and there are zero pics. I would have really liked a peak, and it's never too early for more ass.
  15. So there are not more tickets than there are seats.
  16. I had pre-game drinks at a buddy's place who lived in Dobie. Once.
  17. Humphrey stay with NYG practice squad
  18. If someone told me after the game was play it was more than a 14 point margin of victory, I'd be very certain it was Texas. I don't think it will be lopsided, but if so, I'd be confident it was Texas. In fairness, while I'm pretty confident Texas wins, I'm smart enough to know it sure as shit ain't a given.
  19. Yeah side motion AND possibly under 6'. I called 2 turnovers for Sayin/OSU prior to hearing about that aspect. It only made me more confident about that call.
  20. I thought it was okay. Definitely had some good points. I get why, but there is some B1G Homer in that interview. It's not bad, but definitely there in a few spots.
  21. Cool story bro... no seriously, thats a cool story. Thanks for sharing!
  22. In broad strokes I can agree with some of you takes. Michigan is a very bad comparison imo. We could head down that rabbit hole but I don't think it's valuable. I think you did hit on the key of victory. Arch over Sayin Texas D over OSU D I really like College Football Nerds and imo they do a really good job of breaking down the Texas vs OSU game. One of the best I've seen. They do make an extremely interesting point about Sayin. His motion is very similar to Ewers (he doesn't say that directly) but listen and I think you'll agree. Also, his height has not been measured. I didn't know that fact. They aren't the most exciting guys to listen to, but the quality of their discussion more than makes up for it, imo.
