  1. What do we think about this? I think he's tryna' strike a chord and it's probably A minor.
  2. You mean other than the fact that a team of coaches, who at this point even @satyanash can admit seem pretty decent at coaching and evaluation, keep moving him up the rotation in the RB room ahead of the season? I mean, either they're now poor at their jobs (the coaching staff) or we're being lied to directly by OTF. In regards to your question, Willis McGahee had a pretty nice career after blowing out his ACL and MCL in the Fiesta Bowl. Adrian Peterson ran for 2k a year after an ACL injury. Jamaal Charles. Saquon Barkley. Guess those guys aren't very well known, though.
  3. We all know you got it all the way, dude. No dude. She doesn't look like Alf (allegedly). She just wears the fucking costume while her husband fucks her. Try to keep up, Jesus.
  4. Counterpoint, Jean Georges is awesome.
  5. I appreciate the strategy you're using here, but you've failed to address in any way the difference between people passionately following something that is perpetually changing and evolving, with ups and downs, versus an emotional investment in something that never changes, over and over again. You don't really address any points, you just sort of continue to insinuate how two things are the same, without addressing any points. It's an often effective move. But I'm not buying it here. I mean, you've implied if not outright admitted you're a college football, but also maybe a disney adult. What else are you going to do, but attempt to normalize your position as one thing, which much of society finds creepy and off-putting, to the other thing people are passionate about here...and attempt to maybe also frame it as creepy and off-putting. Sure, I spend money on these things, but look at all the money other people spend on THIS thing? I guess attempting to frame it as "Listen guys, we're all super weird together" is much better than having to explain how POTENTIALLY the rabid emotional support and financial dedication to this other thing is more than just the lifetime distraction of a stunted person who has never entirely moved on from their childhood, and it is a race to return to that safe space as much and often as possible as they find their regular life overwhelming, and the find safety and comfort in the fact that the rides never change, and the movies never change, and the songs never change, and when they're at a disney park, they're safe. Explaining that could be difficult. Particularly to close-minded psychos like us.
  6. I really don’t even think this is a remotely close comparison. First, I’ve never wept after a Texas victory. And the older I get the less a loss ruins my weekend. Sure, some of the other stuff you’ve posted is accurate. but a football victory is an achievement, or a failure. It’s not scripted, the outcomes aren’t known, there are spontaneous great plays and horrible ones, worth celebration and despair. Every outcome is different, every season is different, and there are consequences to a certain degree in the real world regarding your ability to recruit, how obnoxious your rivals will be for a 12 month period, etc. also it’s fleeting, only a few months a year. Disney is the same. Maybe there’s some different parades and shows, but the rides are the same, until they build a new one. Galaxy’s Edge is cool, but it’s the same unless you catch a Kylo Ren sighting, etc. I’ll put the 2005 rose bowl on in the background of my house, I’ll watch some old highlights sometime, and obviously I ingest a lot of college football content. I go to 4-5 games a year, so I invest financially. But it hardly rings the same to me as people who spent obscene percentages of their net worth going to the same theme park(s) multiple times a year and playing dress up and having it be their entire identity. Football ain’t mine. it’s like the ren fair people who go every weekend and travel with it throughout the year, but with hopefully better hygiene and less poor.
  7. Wait that documentary review article is real?!?
  8. I don’t need it to be the offseason to realize I hate all of you.
  9. “My dad says Math has been debunked.” …they just don’t engage in swapping with YOU. Also Jesus. Once a month? I crushed all the major rides with my family and I can’t imagine caring to do it again short of another 3-4 years. Once a month. Wow.
  10. If I were to get one, the same way I do anything, pay others to do it for me. You’re thinking Zeleus Hicks.
  11. Wasn't Littleton a high 4 star? Like not event top 100, more like top 75 type player?
  12. I feel like this is more accurate...
  13. 10k apiece new and sold for 500 dollars. If he could afford $500, I'm sure BO&W would buy one in a heartbeat just to sniff that leather bench.
  14. Don't assist him in his projection, HJ. These people internet users deserve to know the truth.
  15. This all hits close to home, as I took my 7 year old to Disney this summer for the first time. One of my striking memories wasn't something healthy and awesome with my family. It was us high tailing it out of the park at 9:45 or so at night, ahead of the fireworks. We're tired, and we don't give a shit about fireworks, but obviously, everyone else cares and everyone is all squeezing together on main street and every thoroughfare to get the best view, while we're walking the opposite direction on the sidewalks trying to beat any crowds. I saw not, one, not two, but THREE different people staring towards the castle tears streaming down their faces unabashedly, to watch a fucking FIREWORKS display. A fireworks display that happens every single night. Just weeping, like they saw Jesus rise from the grave, or the Apollo 13 astronauts crawl out of the splash capsule. Disney Adults are fucking emotionally warped individuals. And don't let CTJ fool you, he's a member of Club 33. If you don't know what that is, google it.
  16. I dunno man, they got the right shade on the names and numbers on the lockers... I saw a Tesla on the way to meet a buddy for lunch today that was the same wrong color or orange in spots. Guy had a UT tower on the license plate and a horns sticky decal. I wanted to make him roll down his window and tell him that it was the wrong shade of orange and he should be fucking embarrassed.
  17. Oh man, Nagy believing Kruel is a 5-star is a perfect illustration and indictment on him as an identifier of talent. Get this guy a Jimbo contract.
  18. New locker rooms again, eh? We rich. Also, that's the wrong shade of orange...
  19. I'm not sure I've ever heard of a potential NFL draft pick at tackle moving to fucking center. Much less their fucking LEFT tackle. To Center. Make it make sense.
  20. Holy shit. I'll address it below... You didn't even mention the fucking world where that dipshit looked at their WR room and said it was better than ours. In what possible world could they compare the WR rosters and think theirs is superior. Their best WR hasn't played more than 5 games in, what, 2 seasons? And the rest of the crash cart fucking sucked balls too.
  21. Lets never forget that Dusty Dvoracek once claimed a medical redshirt year for alcoholism, AFTER he was kicked off the team, for beating his best friend and roommate in the head with a baseball bat. Holy Shit, Hugh Freeze looks like hammered dogshit. No wonder that motherfucker was coaching from a Hospital bed, clearly he needed his scotch infused through an IV. This guy is transforming to George O'Leary before our very eyes.
  22. Chip on the shoulder? How about Boulder in the Belly?
