  1. Well, our noncon schedule wasn't an automatic barrier to a high seed. According to KenPom, Maryland's was worse, and they finished #10 in his final rankings as a 4 seed. I'm not even going to pretend I understand KenPom the way Derka does, I'm just pointing out some anecdotal evidence. Of course, they also went 27-9 overall against somewhat weaker conference competition too, so none of this is particularly easy to unravel. I mean, 27-9 is a helluva lot better than 19-16. I'm willing to think this season is a bit of an anomaly until proven otherwise. That Moody Center ain't gonna fill itself.
  2. The guy who thought Obama was in office in 2008?
  3. And I would be remiss to not include Lyle Lovett's smokin Large Band:
  4. I geek out over grouped horn parts, whether in unison or in harmony -- big band (eg Maynard), jazz-rock (eg Chicago), funk (eg Earth Wind & Fire), whatever. But Stevie tops the list for me (spoilered for size):
  5. "He was JOKING" outrage incoming in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .
  6. To this day I remain gobsmacked by how many Americans don't realize that normal Presidential terms runs exactly 4 years from January 20th (21st if the 20th is a Sunday) in an odd year. It's an ODD YEAR you fucking idiots.
  7. Yeah, if 19-15 (6-12 SEC) gets a team an 11 seed, I'm not gonna worry about a "shitty" noncon schedule. Just win the games.
  8. I just used whatever came with my horns (Conn Director student trumpet, Conn 28D pro French horn). The mouthpieces were the least of my problems.
  9. How the hell Eli ended up as Swayze I will never know.
  10. Fact check: that lady must be at least 101 years old if she's been voting for 80 years. Not saying she isn't, but there aren't many of them out there. The voting age was 21 until 1971.
  11. Kate Bosworth vagina candle > Gwyneth Paltrow vagina candle

    T Pain, holy shit! That band is smokin', too.

  14. Can we just reiterate, as often as needed, this windmill bullshit and this weak dollar bullshit is merely deflection from the Epstein files? Can we all just agree to keep saying that out loud?
  15. LMAO. Be a dick, I don't care. I simply refuted one of your points and you can't counter it so you angle somewhere else. Good luck with that.

    Man, I saw Judas Priest in 1980. They were incredible.
  17. Type 2, correct?
  18. Just understand that CAP only guarantees admission to a majority subset of Liberal Arts, with a 3.2 GPA for 30 hours and those courses are very specifically defined. If that works, great. Anything else is a risk, as is a transfer from another university. I'm not familiar with PACE so I can't speak to that.
  19. That's pretty cool. Just a duo with backing tracks or is it a full band?
  20. It's definitely a lot easier on trumpet. I never played much flugelhorn, but in my descent from trumpet to (brief stop) euphonium because I got braces to French horn I just kinda avoided the usuals like flugelhorn or mellophone. French horn was my wheelhouse, which was cool because it was so damn hard most brass players just said "fuck that".
  21. Oh, I get that part. No sane person of color would challenge it. Maybe the ACLU just on a lark, but it likely wouldn't go far.

    Dang. That was awesome.
  23. So 3 of the biggest recent boom states are seeing a correction and this means nationally home prices are dropping, even when the data clearly suggest otherwise? OK. Statistics, how do they work?
  24. You kinda have to account for sales volume in those segments, though.
