  1. Let's inject some facts here. OU beat #14 by 6 on the road, Texas beat #9 by 3 at home. Not a lot of difference there. Moreover, we were ranked behind OU before Saturday's games, with a better strength of schedule and a head to head beatdown, so your assertion above is irrelevant. And yes, the polls mean nothing. The CFP rankings will be interesting, and I'd be surprised if we don't flip spots with OU there.
  2. I found Zanes' autobiography lacking. It felt like he was determined to show off his PhD. I'll check out Campbell's book.
  3. I don't generally dislike Norah O'Donnell, but for fuck's sake, that "interview" was infuriating. No "so why did you pardon someone whom you are not familiar with?" No pushback on that or a dozen other things.
  4. Careful with pasilla, it can taste bitter to some people.
  5. As in Atlanta? No idea. I've been to a game at Sanford Stadium (Peyton Manning, senior year). I won't make this one, but I strongly suggest those of you who can go, go. It's nuts. Athens is an awesome college town.
  6. I'm not sure how your more detailed telling of the story negates mine. Petty wasn't pissed about losing the song? Maybe he kicked himself, but the gist of it was he had first shot and blew it (and knew it). I'll say it again, but more clearly: while I love and respect Tom Petty, I'm pretty sure he couldn't have topped Henley's efforts on that one very specific song. That thing came down from the heavens.
  7. Which bucket were you in before you got old?
  8. My only problem with powders, besides the fact that they can dry out and lose flavor, is that they can retain some grit in the final product. There are ways to mitigate that, though.
  9. I remain gruntled that A&M is behind Indiana. That's lunacy, but I still smile.
  10. Wasn't Petty actually pissed at Mike Campbell for taking the song to Henley (after Petty himself had turned it down)? What a collosal mistake. Such an iconic riff. Who knows if Petty could have written those lyrics, and he certainly couldn't match Henley in the vocal department, but man, don't turn that one down. As big of a Petty fan as I am, and as much as I consider Henley a (really really talented) douchebag, I'm glad it went the way it went. Still, one can wonder.
  11. I don't give a flying F if the B1G only gets one team in. I'm just pointing out that the SEC pretty much stands apart from the other 3 P4 conferences, so pre-emptive whining about 4 or 5 teams in the playoffs isn't really justified given on-field performance.
  12. I don't think the Big 12 is necessarily weak, but this year's intra-P4 out of conference records sure seem to tell a story, and that story is that the SEC is tougher & deeper: SEC: 10-2 BIG 12: 7-6 BIG 10: 5-5 ACC: 4-10
  13. How is Scott Adams not rich as shit?
  14. Brandi Carlile has apparently decided to channel U2. Not bad, definitely a shift:
  15. I don't know if you realize this, but they do have to put 25 teams in the Top 25.
  16. I'm a Wingo fan, but is he really gonna miss more catches with a dislocated thumb?
  17. What if he spends it on prime rib?
  18. How limited do you have to be to not understand that pulling UP on the toaster handle will help you grab your toasty goodness?
  19. That might be the ugliest thing I've ever seen, and I majored in engineering.
  20. Very red. Chile ratios? I don't love a ton of anchos but all guajillo gets very red.
  21. Regarding no 9-3 team making it into the playoff last year: Alabama getting boatraced by a 5-5 OU team late in the season did them no favors. Nobody knows how a competitive loss might have helped them, but that loss most surely did not.
  22. It's not about what she is, it's all about the price.
  23. Historically? Yeah. FSU was incredibly dominant for well over a decade in the modern age. They lost 17 games in 13 seasons. UGA hasn't had that kind of run. They are at 32 losses over the last 13 seasons, not counting 2025.
  24. *Scott Wilson clapping
  25. Well, that's a solid stupid take.
