  1. Wazzu guys must've been radicalized with the death of the Pac12.
  2. Man late 90s early 00s Gameday just had that magic. Or maybe I just miss being 12 years old on a Saturday with nothing to do until it was time to head to the stadium and watch the game.
  3. I had seven or eight Bitcoin in 2012 when they were $5 or $6 each and then sold them at like $11 each.
  4. If yall are real into sicko mode, then might I suggest subscribing to Church History https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/church-history Once a quarter I'm on the edge of my seat with articles like... "Local Patterns of Relic Veneration in Late Antiquity: Reassessing Alleged Distinctions between Greek and Roman Customs" Or who could forget "Stettin Revised: Redating a Major Medieval Inquisition of Heresy" Panty droppers on every page.
  5. Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra?
  6. Zeus brought me back to some fun childhood memories. I remember back in the 90s when I was 12 or so, I found a website that was for a Texas Independence Party and thought that was neat until I saw their picture of the members.
  7. Well obviously getting government out of our lives, the power of government free capitalism, and traditional checks and balances conservatism to combat the encroaching power of the executive. Either that or xenophobia mixed in with some light anti-intellectual luddism thrown in. One of those two, but I can't decide which.
  8. I think they'll stay up, but man they have to learn to finish.
  9. USNews has them at 63%, but I believe they fluctuate a ton based on the year.
  10. Finished it and it really is a great narrative. It does a great job of feeling like an old school P&C while having modern ease of use.
  11. By that same token, I think the reverse works pretty well too. This weekend I had a lower end Rioja, but having some Manchego with it made it a ton better and more enjoyable.
  12. Oh look ISU threw it to a tall as TE, never seen that before!
  13. Opposite for me so go KSU.
  14. ISU fans showed the fuck up.
  15. Digging the "Cyclones" script helmet.
  16. This thread left me wondering about something. What are some schools that have traditional college experiences (including P4ish football), but are extremely easy to get into (>83%)? There were plenty more than I expected and something for everyone. Michigan State - 84% acceptance rate Iowa - 85% Arizona - 86% Oregon - 85% Arizona State - 90% Iowa State - 89% Utah - 87% Colorado State - 90% Cincinnati - 88% Kansas - 88% Kentucky - 92% Ole Miss - 98% (!!!) West Virginia - 88%
  17. Did A&M counter by adding another 10,000?
  18. If we're talking about UTSA and TxSt rising then it's fair to mention that UH has improved their academic profile a ton in the last 20 years. They're all the way up to #144 now in US News (flawed, I know) which is higher than all of Arkansas, LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma State, & Ole Miss that get a ton of Texas kids. Of course, your atmosphere and experience at those schools are going to be vastly different from UH, though I hear they're improving there too. US News on Texas: #18 Rice #31 UT #51 A&M #91(t) Baylor #91(t) SMU #105 TCU #109 UT-Dallas #144 Houston #214 Texas Tech #220(t) UT-RGV #220(t) UNT #231(t) Sam Houston #231(t) UT-Arlington #231(t) UTSA #273 Texas State
  19. Is he one of those that in the last 4 or 5 years started talking about how great Hungary and Serbia are when he takes his break from reading Roman history books written by tv newstainment anchors?
  20. The obvious truth is that Americans can be described as a Venn Diagram of idiots, assholes, and pussies and it's becoming closer and closer to being a single circle every day.
  21. The schedule for tomorrow is annoying. ISU/KSU at 11? Great that feels like a good 11AM game. The other three FBS vs FBS games? Oh, we're going to put them all on at relatively the same time. I don't hate watching FCS games in the afternoon, but come on get it together networks. Fresno State/Kansas 5:30 Sam Houston/Western Kentucky 6:00 Stanford/Hawaii 6:30 Can't even give us a late start for a game in Hawaii.
