  1. "Yes, there is lack of progress. But let's stop talking about that."
  2. Man, getting just one of a healthy CJ Baxter or Christian Clark would be a huge boost for our offense. Please, Baby Jeebus.
  3. I fucking hate those people. I understand if you're not in a Ferrari and can't blast it to 75 in a few seconds. But gottdam, can you please start accelerating to the speed of highway traffic while you're still on the onramp?
  4. Sucks for Tech. Joyner is their lead returning rusher (based on his stats last year at USC). The next two guys on the depth cart had a combined yardage below his.
  5. Maybe, but a Yelp review said the service is subpar and the place smells like burrito farts.
  6. I already love Herve. Can we get him on Surly?
  7. Every once in a while I also like to withdraw a couple hundred bucks and then light it on fire.
  8. Todd McShay is a 48-year-old man who is still getting shoved into lockers.
  9. Well, Donald Trump is alive, and for all his medal winning and POW camp surviving, John McCain can't say that, can he?
  10. Don't be so Dbhard on yourself.
  11. My daughter considered Reed as part of her private school applications. As she and I researched it more, it seemed like the Rice of the PNW -- a lot of really smart kids, but a pretty lame social environment. She applied to L&C and got some generous scholarship money, but wanted to go to a bigger state school with robust athletics. I have a good client who went to L&C, and while he really liked it, he said that area of Oregon gets much worse rain than other parts of the state. (See below). My daughter is a rising sophomore at Oregon, and absolutely loves it. I thought a Texas girl who loves the sun would have a tough adjustment, but she said the weather was okay. The rain was mostly a constant drizzle such that students don't even bother carrying an umbrella, and instead rely on waterproof jackets and backpacks. And maybe this year was a little different, but she got a fair amount of sunny days in the middle of the rainy season. I was actually surprised to get from her so many photos in the Fall and Winter that showed sunny blue skies.
  12. Yes, indeed. He was the only reason my parents ever bought Lone Star.
  13. I got to spend a lot of time with Gunny Ski when I visited my parents in Harlingen on breaks from college. I loved that guy. So did my dad.
  14. My dad was on staff there that same time. He served in Vietnam as a young infantry officer fresh out of college. Rarely talked to me about it, and when he did, it was mostly logistical/historical, and never really personal. I remember when I was a young and stupid kid, I asked him, "Dad, did you kill anyone in Vietnam?" He didn't answer. I've always felt bad about asking him that question. I know from my mom that on a couple occasions when he opened up to her about what he experienced, he was crying.
  15. Have you been to Andiamo or Reale's? They're closer to my hood and way out of your way. I've actually never been to either yet, but I keep hearing that they're legitimately good and affordable Italian in a more homey setting than something like a Vespaio or Red Ash.
  16. I'm tempted to drive 2.5 hours to see you get your ass kicked by somebody's grandpa.
  17. Nice to see all the support for Arkansas. My stepdaughter is only a sophomore, but Arkansas seems to be at the top of her list right now, and we have close friends who just moved their daughter into her freshman dorm. I'll be very happy if that's where she ends up.
  18. I really can't blame the Democrats for coming back to Texas. I mean, it's almost football season.
  19. I respect Zelensky for holding it together at that moment.
  20. He’s probably a dentist!
  21. Among other points about Traylor, I was responding to this notion that he would be considered by Texas at some future point. And my response is, if it’s true he was on a list in 2020, this Texas program is well past that point. Whether you share that take or are ascribing it to the wisdom of other Surlies, I strenuously object.
