  1. Okay. Went ahead and bought three tickets. Not sure if our two friends will make it in time, but helping out my cause. See you assholes on Saturday.
  2. I should be there with the wife, and possibly two friends attending the game with us. So aside from my season pass, I may be buying anywhere from 1 to 3 tickets if that helps the cause.
  3. The Republicans and this Trump Administration in 2025 have plunged our country into a significantly deeper deficit. What's a few billion more in extending the ACA subsidies? They could execute a perfect killshot to the Democratic hopes in the 2026 midterms by saying, "Sure, okay, we'll extend the ACA subsidies if you reopen the government and let us pay the military and other federal workers." The voters in the red states who've grown to rely on this particular government assistance would go bonkers. Is that a too simplistic view?
  4. Maybe we'll hear more stories like this. But keep in mind that Bobby Petrino is currently employed. Being a complete asshole does not disqualify you from getting a college head coaching job.
  5. You'd get around.
  6. Have faith. We'll come up with a dumber argument by lunch time.
  7. Jesus, those guys are older than my dad.
  8. I went to Threadgills maybe a handful of times in my life, and this is about what I remember. Oh, and my daughter played a guitar recital at the Riverside location back in 2017.
  9. And here we are in late October with the S&P up nearly 18% for the year. It feels like the runway on this cliff keeps gaining ground.
  10. Probably my favorite, but so gut-wrenching. We see Baltimore youth throughout the series, but a whole season dedicated to such a rough going in the shitty public school system was tough to watch. I did enjoy Prez's redemption story, though.
  11. She’s not a horse, for Christ sake.
  12. Very classless. He needs to use the term “sexual intercourse.” “Make love” is also acceptable.
  13. Chicken sauce piquant. I’ve usually preferred, and cooked, Cajun over Creole. But this was damn tasty and really easy.
  14. Sark's first scripted series:
  15. During my time in Dallas (1999-2003), my work colleagues and I would go to Mattito's on Oak Lawn frequently. Where they also affiliated in some way with the original Matt's? They served Bob Armstrong. I remember liking it. But I also was not that far removed from poor law student's taste buds.
  16. I mean, the qualifier of a "pinch hit" Longhorn legend isn't that unfair. He came in during the final minutes against Tech in 2003 when our Vince Young-led offense had been sputtering and drove almost the length of the field for the winning TD. Off the top of my head I can't think of other late-game, coming-in-cold heroics to win us a game like that.
  17. Yeah, four years ago I probably wouldn't paid attention to this thread. Now having gone through this with my oldest, and a sophomore and freshman in the pipeline, I genuinely get happy for all the Surly parents and their kiddos.
  18. It's very possible those schools get into a seriously stupid bidding war.
  19. I'm starting to wonder whether we'd be better off with him in the U.S. Senate than in college football.
  20. Nobody said we weren't sexist. Just not racist.
  21. This I agree with. Most other years, yeah, overlook Vandy. But they're ranked 9th with a 7-1 record, and the last two weeks we've gone to overtime against two of the worst teams in the SEC. One thing we won't be doing this week and Saturday is overlooking Vanderbilt.
  22. I dunno, looking back at the parts in bold make me wonder whether Sark was talking about football.
