    For me Gimme Fiction is their gold standard.
  2. Back in the 90's/aughts Takamine acoustic electrics had a good reputation for sounding more natural than most when plugged in on stage. They sounded like warm ass in pure acoustic mode. Curiously, most seemed to be finished black. Very common guitars in the "Unplugged" era.
  3. See for instance our favority surly "libertarian" Ani. Total right wing bootlicker.
  4. I've said it a few times, but if we "stole" Schloss (AFTER A&M's season was through), what does that say about them hiring Elko (BEFORE Duke's season was through)? Aggies are the least self-aware of almost any demographic I can think of.

    Not all of them. (Ahem.)
  6. 3rd most appearances, just behind Miami.
  7. No. They're #11 in appearances at the CWS and 15 teams have more titles.
  8. It would be very difficult to make an argument for any team other than USCw or Texas. LSU would be 3rd. Mississippi State is so far down the list it's laughable.

    Well, one of them lives in Rhode Island.
  10. I was poking fun at what I assume was a typo -- 5.54 sec.
  11. Good thing he ran a 4.84 40.
  12. You know what's funny about that QB draft board? 2024 was considered a far better QB class, and 11 guys were drafted. 2025? 13 QBs drafted.

    Chuy's went to a skeletal menu during covid and a lot of it never came back. My wife always got a sopapilla and charro/borracho beans. We don't go there any more.

    . . . and they formed before that song was released. (Not saying you were on the bandwagon right when they formed, I fully get how you could write them off.)

    I asked Britt & Jim about the name once -- they claimed (perhaps in hindsight) it was a riff on "Can" and I believe "Wire". Ultimately, I think a band name starts to disassociate from the meaning of the word. I'm not sure many late-era REM and U2 fans understand the back stories.

    I've found it so interesting how they've sort of lurked at gold record status for a couple of decades now, with absolutely impeccable critical reception, yet they often seem to be touring as support for far lesser bands, playing the dinner slot at festivals, etc. They're definitely not hurting for money, but man they should be so much bigger.
  17. They should start with 34 photos of Trump.
  18. In comparison, sure. Quinn is almost exactly the same size as Colt McCoy -- one inch taller, a couple of pounds lighter. I'd be interested in hearing from those who know what exactly tends to make a guy "injury prone". Is it an innate structural issue, is it scheme, is it more of an inability to play with pain, other? Quinn sure did get hurt, a lot.
  19. Not sure where this goes. The Boss standing in for Joe Ely as Joe couldn't make his American Music Honors set. Get well soon, Joe.
  20. Right. Into. My. Veins.
  21. I wouldn't begin to rank them, but those teams have some talent, and in this NIL/portal era it probably doesn't hurt to get eyes on their players and see if there is someone we want next year.
  22. A&M had a much harder conference schedule you stupid sips.
  23. Dammit, I keep messing this up: Football: UT 1 A&M 0 Basketball: UT 2 A&M 1 Baseball: UT 3 A&M 0
  24. That's not even close, he's out
