  1. It was UTEP, not sure if it was a bowl game.
  2. My CEO has front row first balcony seats, stage right. I've gotten to see a few cool shows that way, but if there is still the "ticket draw" option, I'm in. Do they ever publish the taping calendar?
  3. OK, sue me for never paying attention to Howard Stern, but does he actually have an audience of any significance?
  4. We'll never know how close it might have gotten to Kent State 2, though. What if the students had resisted? What would DPS have done? I'm not at all confident that cooler heads would have prevailed.
  5. Tell me you were never on rsfc without telling me you were never on rsfc.
  6. Maybe you could be, you know, funny.
  7. Not if the blackball rumor is true.
  8. Uh, that had better not be true.
  9. Cool, cool. Now, go read the previous 15 pages and catch up, Billy.
  10. Oh no! Blocked! Stop being a stupid worthless Sack of shit.
  11. Well, we know it's not politically driven. They tell us so.
  12. I know that politics are a tangled web in this state, but being scared of Abbott is a really bad look, if true. Sure, Abbott could lean on his buddies on the BOR, but at some point growing a functional spine (Hartzell, not Abbott) might be the right approach. Dude is not hurting for money.
  13. Well, I didn't show Jimi.
  14. Struggled with switch placement:
  15. Hartzell is more than a "tick right of center". Don't minimize his tendencies.
  16. Agreed on Posse East & Crown. Whoever brought it up, The Beach was where Crown & Anchor now resides. Posse East is at the south end of the block. I'm so glad Hole In The Wall is still going. I've played at some pretty iconic clubs in Austin, but playing this tiny stage at this dump convinced me I had "made it" (even though I never made it). Absolutely my favorite bar in the world. SO many shows and stories.
  17. I love the justification for Hartzell's behavior is that the check-cutters likely approve of what he did. Yeah, a massive, highly regarded public university "of the first class" needs to craft policy to align with donors. In related news, I know one of the biggest check-cutters, and I strongly suspect he is not happy with what happened. I'll ask him when I get a chance.
  18. "L. Dale Mitchell" I don't think I could imagine a more Okie name if I tried. "L. Dale, git yer scrawny ass up here and shave my back!"
  19. I know this belies a terribly naive viewpoint on my part, but wouldn't the Founding Fathers have codified Presidential immunity if they intended for it to exist?
