  1. Wait, what is the social statement in rewarding that movie? Just that the most of actors are non-white? Part of the story is the immigrant experience I guess, but it’s not really up on any kind of soapbox about it. And it’s about way more than just that. It’s about literally everything. This is a movie where there is an extended scene of a fight to be the one to shove a trophy up your own ass. Making it a fait accompli winner because it’s woke or whatever seems like a lazy take.
  2. saved by the commitment timing
  3. Haha, this is how it went in the post script to my story too. My dad informed my friends they had to tell their parents and then have them give him a call. Out of the 4 friends that got busted, 2 actually did because my parents actually knew theirs. The other two had their older sister and an uncle or something call. Both those guys were in my wedding a decade later and came clean about it, laughing that they had gotten one over on him. He said of course he knew but he was tired of dealing with our dumb asses and figured he had done his parental due diligence at that point.
  4. My Junior year of high school I had 3 buddies over and we were hanging out at my parents place. We were really just planning to play some video games and shoot some pool. Then a fourth buddy calls and let’s us know he just scored some weed so plans quickly changed. My parents were home so smoking at the house was out. No problem, I just told them we were going out to rent a movie, and we left and met friend with the drugs behind Steinmart. We get about as high as we could get on whatever schwag we had to smoke and head back to the house ready to laugh our asses off playing Smash Brothers. Problem was, my mom got suspicious at a certain point and she was waiting for us to return by the door. My friends quickly scatter to the back bedroom while I faced down my mom and tried to pull myself together to try and convince her I’m not high. And that, dear reader, is where I’ll have to pick up the story with what I was told happened, because the next thing I remember I woke up in the hospital with 8 staples in my head. Apparently summoning all my attention to face down my pissed mom was just too much for me in that state, because I passed out straight backward and the back of my head bounced off the brick entryway. I’m completely unconscious and bleeding and my mom is losing her shit. My friends and dad come running and see the scene and they don’t know if she hit me and I went down or if I’m dead or what the fuck happened. Paramedics and cops are called, I go off to the hospital in an ambulance, and my friends are left with the cops to sort this shit out. They think I must have been on some really serious shit to go down like that and aren’t really buying that we were just smoking some dirt weed. My friend who brought the drugs own up to it and they search his truck where they find: the weed, a six pack, a pack of cigs, and porn. They write him a ticket for each one (he was 17) before making a big show out of tearing them all up and giving him a warning. I went home from the hospital the next day with a hell of a headache and in trouble with my parents but both things passed quickly enough.
  5. The old man literally touched him 1st
  6. Has the staff even considered that both Bryce Young and Will Anderson both have another year of eligibility. Make them say no! I’m just not seeing any sense of urgency from these guys.
  7. Honestly thought he had officially left the program months ago. Did he ever rejoin the team after the suspension?
  8. Oh shit, Jimbo just pulled a sitting Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll Linebacker
  9. Wait, has BO&W really been on Longhorn message boards for a decade? I always picture him as a 20 year old incel posting from his childhood bedroom while watching Twitch streams.
  10. So we return our entire starting 5 and like 7/8 of our best OL. With the hope that 1, or possibly 2, of the backups unseat a starter for a spot upgrade. That seems good.
  11. Really talented, was a big time recruit out of HS (where he was recruited by Sark so there is a relationship there). Lots of upside but needs to get his head on straight. Worth the risk to pick him up imo.
  12. Haha, great stuff. Love the brave aggies that are trying to spin it. Especially love the ones talking about how he used to dominate Sumlin’s A&M teams, despite the fact that Sumlin never coached against Petrino while he was at Arky.
  13. Yeah…that’s not at all what the reporter asked. He asked him if he anticipated making any staff changes. Completely reasonable question, and if Gundy didn’t want to answer candidly all he had to do was give the same non answer we’ve heard a million coaches give: ”Well, none of those decisions have been made yet. We’re going to do what we always do after the season, sit down and evaluate every part of this program from the top down and we’ll go from there” Instead of saying that he decided to have a little tantrum. Mainly because he’s a thin skinned asshole who was in his feelings after seeing his team completely crumble over the second half of the season.
  14. This answer is dadcore as hell, but there have been several episodes of Bluey that made me turn away from my daughter to get my shit together. The ending of “flat pack” specifically always really sneaks up me
  15. Not really lulz or bitching exactly, but today was a son of a bitch. Got in to Tyler with the family and went straight to the hospital where my 90 year old grandfather has been for the last week with pneumonia. He’s hanging on, the prognosis isn’t terrible exactly, but he was really down and feeling like it was the end for him. And having that conversation with him like it was our last has just completely fucked me up for the entire day and holiday. I have a 5 year old and an almost 2 year old that he adores and they were so fucking sweet with him in the hospital room. We left and went to their grandparents (my dad’s) house and they have just been floating on air with Christmas excitement but I can’t fucking shake how sad I am. 90 years is a good run, but I love that man and I’m not ready. I’ve been blessed to have him be a huge part of my life, for so long. I have his name, and I’m fucking proud of that. My kids are so blissfully unaware of this part of life and are in prime Christmas years and I want to be present and soaking it in with them but I’ve just been outside of myself all day. I can’t sleep and I’ve had a little too much bourbon and I’m posting on a message board like it’s therapy but this just really sucks.
  16. I hear you, but what we need is a sure thing portal WR. We don’t need a guy like Milton who’s only available because he’s coming off a major injury, and I don’t think a pure potential guy like Jojo Earle makes sense for this roster either at this point. So I guess I’m just ready to find out who this mystery portal receiver is that we are super confident in. Going all out to get Whitt to return and jumping through hoops for Moore has me wondering. Or maybe I’m just impatient.
  17. This is sort of where I’m at short of a true stud like Addison from last year becoming available (or Stewart I guess, but that doesn’t seem like it’s happening. Your list above plus the possibility of one of Thompson/Red emerging feels like a pretty damn healthy wr room.
  18. Honestly I’m not really sure what a portal player has to do with Hall. He made 1 catch this year and we were desperate for literally anyone to step up at WR outside of Worthy and Whitt. The writing was on the wall that he wasn’t going to contribute here, doesn’t matter if we’re bringing in Evan Stewart in the portal or convincing Kai Money to come back and give us one more season.
  19. His contract is guaranteed for 85 million more dollars. Why waste time on a strategy
  20. Maybe he graduated, ever think about that!?
  21. I was told he was a “tackling machine” though
