  1. Rural New Jersey is some of the most beautiful countryside in the United States. It's not one giant Newark.
  2. Feels Snider-esque:
  3. We still go there. Quality fluctuates a bit but it's never been even close to average, and what restaurant doesn't have some variablity? I don't get the "pricey" argument, either. Yeah, it's not a mom 'n pop TexMex joint. It's a beautiful restaurant in a part of town that doesn't have many of those, and for $25-$35 an entree you can get all kinds of delicous food. I think every Austinite should go there once and judge for themselves.
  4. In my prior life I co-developed, designed and manufactured large energy storage M/G/FW devices. The housings were cast iron, many inches thick. It took a lot of trial and error to dial in the tolerancing, draft angles, chimney locations etc. Those cast iron shops have so much experience, we never could have come up with those processes on our own. Here's a photo of one device with half the housing in place:
  5. Uh, no. You do you.
  6. That was some comment. I'm sure it was our fault the ball spin reversed and the ball went out of bounds. Come on, Bilas.
  7. No idea, 5C, 38DD, something something
  8. You have zero evidence to back that up.
  9. Why are you suddenly discussing game play?
  10. You have to be the absolute worst at parties. Do you have any joy in life?
  11. I hope it's all insured. I have a Bach trumpet somewhere I could loan them if I can find it?
  12. Yeah, the top 10 that excludes one of the 4 major conferences.
  13. I would guess our closing strength of schedule is the hardest in the country. Can anyone name a tougher upcoming schedule? That matters. Now, if you want to say that teams currently above us might be less likely to suffer a loss, I wouldn't argue the point. I also would argue that their loss will be penalized more than ours. We're on the hairy edge, but a loss doesn't necessarily eliminate us.
  14. Because you're not accounting for the teams in the top 10 accruing additional losses? Our strength of schedule alone will rise, no question. Our record against schedule will probably rise. These things matter.
  15. WTF is with your obsession with "dropping before rising"? That's bizarre. The committee will rank on a week to week basis, and if (for instance) we lose to UGA and drop a bit, but beat Arky and then A&M, there is no reason to believe we will be shut out of the top 12. Quite the opposite, in all likelihood. Lose on the LAST weekend and you're probably fucked.
  16. So y'all know how the committee will weigh a split against #5 and #3 (current)? OK. I know what my brain tells me. It tells me we're a damn good team. Other top 10 teams beating up on spares isn't necessarily telling.
  17. I'm quite confident we aren't going to be the only top 12 teams with a loss in the upcoming weeks. I'm happy to watch it play out. I am pretty confident the SEC will get 5 teams in the CFP, and if they don't, oh well, don't lose to Florida.
  18. I seriously don't understand what you're saying. Do you think we have no chance of getting into the top 12 if we go 2-1 with a win over Arky and one of UGA/A&M?
  19. My point is that others above #10 can drop. Just because 2 teams ranked below #12 will take top 12 positions doesn't mean our #11 ranking leaves us out. You can't predict what 2-1 will do for us, because you don't know what's going to happen to the rest of the top 10.
  20. Dude -- I get it. You're fixated on Top 10 and while that is a floor it's not necessarily hard to attain.
  21. No it isn't. You're assuming all the teams currently ranked ahead of us won't drop, and you're assuming we won't climb. Both are stupid positions. It's still likely that we're looking at 8 spots for the B1G + SEC. How it get splits up is not clear, but 5 SEC is not ridiculous. It's probable.
  22. Calm yourselves, people. Every week we see chaos in the top 10. If you think ACC or B12 teams aren't going to get upset, you're not paying attention. If they don't, so be it.
  23. Am I the only person who never never never buys "pre-seasoned" meats? I mean, I guess I get the Mexican market angle, but I'm sure not trusting vac-packed CostCo crap. I can season and/or brine any protein in my sleep.
