  1. slightly belated, but got to attend both shows at metlife over labor day weekend. will echo every single other review that it was two of the greatest nights of my life - band sounded incredible, crowd was incredible, the city randomly buzzing with people walking around with all manner of oasis gear was incredible. 

    cannot stress enough if you are a fan of any consequence, get to this thing should they continue touring in 2026. or better yet get to argentina or brazil in november as those are going to be epic.

    You really seem to have your head around how Vegas sets lines. 

    son of a bitch i forgot i did that. apparently drank 13 paper planes at bad harriet, asked chat gpt the proposed line if one team's roster was talented enough to have 5 out of 44 make the two deep, and passed out. 

    i stand by my research.

    From last year's recruiting thread. @bizzle had them at 9-3. It reads like most of us were thinking in the 7-5/8-4 range but a lot you guys were convincing yourselves of ATM beating ND to open the season. 

    honestly, for someone that struggles to keep up with the minutia of college football these days - incredible breakdown of the 2024 roster and season, i remain a fucking savant.

    and if there is any hope to be found in our fandom, it appears that despite the 2022 recruiting class implosion and subsequent buyout that people are still writing checks, which is quite obviously a necessity in the current landscape of the sport, and there is hope that elko has the ability to be a wiser ceo than his predecessor. he's clearly targeting a quite different type of kid than jimbo was, we'll see if any of this works out. 

    the irony in elko being an intelligent, defense-minded guy is that he absolutely shit himself repeatedly with his in-game decision making the 2nd half of last year - was he trying to overcompensate for various roster failings year one, felt the need to be more aggressive than who he really is, felt the pressure in the texas game, etc, or is this who he is as head coach? no idea - i'm too tired to spend much time on it outside of watching the games, but i am quite fascinated to watch us play this year.

    Junior’s vacay stories can be a low key beating.  He is apparently the last person ever to be around kids.

    Or maybe I’m getting cynical and don’t give a damn about anyone’s kid stories.

    did you know that sometimes 3 year olds spill their food and it gets beneath the car seat. incredible.

    The aggies really hate him. I can't even remember why, but I do not believe they will allow him to be hired.

    his position group regressed while in college station, he kind of sucked at recruiting and strikes me as annoying as shit. he also might be the random guy that's better coordinating a defense than teaching a position group. also who cares, life is suffering.

    You don’t see our guys railing against aggy and their schedule, falling back on some nth level stats to prove that Texas is the better team or worrying about what the media thinks about them.

    i'm absolutely not going to read it and find out, but i assume the 1,600 page thread on the football board regarding a&m is mainly trading new york times receipes?

  7. i regret not posting my literally nothing can go wrong screed on here last week as i was extremely confident going into that game, and even halftime, only to see us get absolutely run the fuck over by a team that appeared to want it way more than we did. columbia is an absolute shithole, but that stadium is fun as hell and we obviously were, ah, not quite ready for the moment. we gotta regroup, survive hugh freeze wizardry and then prepare for what will surely be a game on the 30th that both fanbases have very level heads about.

    sirois and donny 10-12; hang zone 12-3.  how god wanted it.

    instead we get mcclearin, bass, and mino.  the p1 deserves better. 

    because i got in a random conversation about the ability to program the all-time station lineup:

    5:30-10: jub, doocy, gordo (i mean, it's probably craig, he just annoys the shit out of me but perhaps that's part of the show's greatness)

    10-12: bob playing the role of norm with donny and sirois shooting his wheels off

    12-3: hang zone

    3-7: hardline with mike, circa 1997 greggo and corby (also open to jake playing the role of greggo here)

    i don't give a shit about tickers, saturdays can be sirois and danny from 10-noon, ben and skin from noon-2, and kickaround from 2-4.

    weekenders and monty can fill in on dry dock, mino and sean bass are simply never allowed to speak over the air.

    I still don’t understand what is the difference between the best player you can attract and a sec player. Does every big 12 team not recruit “sec” guys because they’re in the big 12. Every team recruits the best player they can get. Texas recruits Texas guys, sec player is a great marketing tool for espn. 

    the difference is the rather messy and complicated history of the united states, socioeconomics and why 'recruiting the best player i can land within 100 miles of my campus' looks slightly different in western colorado versus northern alabama.
