  1. Anthony Hill is going to be pissed at you saying that.
  2. Dean Smith is rolling over in his grave thinking about all the young snatch he could have had with him in Chapel Hill.
  3. Going to be worse when Satan School starts developing some serious blue chip college football prospects.
  4. I'm surprised that Parker Livingstone hasn't scared him straight to the portal by now.
  5. Eh, Schindler's List just didn't grab my attention.
  6. Traveled out of Austin last week for the first time in 2025. A 9:30am flight, arriving at the airport two hours before, and was in the regular security line with genpop because my TSApre expired in December and I forgot to renew. Took about 20 minutes from walking in the door, checking my bags, and getting through the security line. Better than I expected. I can see summer sucking, though.
  7. Wrong. And there is science behind it.
  8. It depends. If you drink 2-3 pours of regular (nonflavored) Vodka every night with nothing but ice and maybe club soda, that's about 98 calories per standard shot, which are purely empty calories. And it's going to affect your metabolism, causing your liver to create more cholesterol and fat, and making it more difficult access stored fat to burn as energy. Maybe to your more general point, no, you don't need to abstain completely from alcohol to bolster weight loss in combination with exercise and healthier food consumption. And, yes, some alcohols are better than others in terms of sugar and other carbs that further tax your liver and go straight to your love handles. But as you get older, drinking "good" alcohol even in moderation makes shedding pounds much more challenging. So I stand by my proposition that cutting alcohol (including straight unflavored vodka) is a game changer. And personally, I don't do that on a regular basis (football season? forget it). But when I abstain completely for some significant amount of time (e.g. Dry January) and don't change anything else about my diet and exercise, I can more easily and visually cut off some excess pounds.
  9. Fuck, that looks outstanding.
  10. I've made it a couple times and my family really likes it. I just use a rotisserie chicken from HEB instead of cooking my own, which shaves down some time. Also, red bell peppers might be a required ingredient for King Ranch Chicken purists, but I've started to leave them out because I don't like its flavor.
  11. They just ran out of baseline.
  12. Turns out he grew up in Houston.
  13. You post like Shedeur plays quarterback!
  14. We ate there yesterday for lunch while waiting out a thunderstorm. The dawg slammed. We were talking to our hotel bartender our first night in town, and he said the locals really don’t eat hot dogs all that much, implying that the Chicago dog is more a tourist thing these days.
  15. Windy as fuck with a real feel in the 30s in late April. Nice view from my hotel, though.
  16. Meatloaf Reuben? You magnificent bastard.
  17. Schloss secretly put it on there right after he left aggy.
  18. Is very bad to steal Jobu’s rum. Is very bad.
  19. And Vince.
