We also had this fuckstick running things.
I agree we can't just assume that Texas is going to elbow other programs out of the way to get the top candidate on the market. But we're far better equipped to get a top candidate now than in 2013.
This is where I am.
It's perfectly fine to think your alma mater and favorite team you've cheered on for decades will lose a football game, and for the loss to not even be close. We have yet to play a complete game against a quality opponent this season (great defense/shitty offense against Ohio State; vastly improved offense/below average (though ref assisted) defense against Vandy). We're playing on the road against the best team in the SEC over the past few years. Yes, I think there's a chance that Texas can win this game, but it's substantially low, and I think there's a greater chance the result is closer to the Georgia regular-season win over Texas last year.
Anybody else watching this?
I'm only an episode in. It's "meh" to my wife, but more interesting to me since my dad served in the Marines for 27 years (Vietnam at the beginning of his career and the Persian Gulf war toward the end) and I grew up on Marine Corps bases (Lejeune High Class of 1992). I'm a little amused at the range of characters featured, mostly because they all seem like kids to me at my age, even some of the junior officers. A few have a very level-headed approach to combat -- they work their ass off to be ready for war at a moment's notice, but pray it never comes to that. But some of the young enlisted men are like Francis straight out of stripes, borderline psychotic -- "All I know is I finally get to kill somebody."
Was persuaded to watch Casablanca in my early 20s by a girl I had started dating and whose pants I wanted to get into. I was pretty bored during the whole movie, but pretended to like it. We dry humped for a long time after that, and I drove home with the bluest of balls. #csb
