  1. Hey, everyone needs a slumpbuster now and again.
  2. Yeah, because Arch is going to have his liver fractured.
  3. . . . and a significantly reduced cocaine habit.
  4. I think that may be Dire Straits' best song. I always like to compare it to one of Lou Reed's masterpieces (and it may be his best song, too):

    I signed up for 2X Fort Worth and 2X Chicago. I have no idea what email address they have on file LOL.
  6. Well, the run game MIGHT get better if CJ ever returns.

    Check out that fill at 1:45 -- totally contrary to the basic groove but she brings it home. Dang.

    Rush

    She is clearly a world class player. I can't wait to hear this. When tickets are announced, somebody bump this thread, I'm making the trip to somewhere.
  9. Holy shit, Nancy. Dial it down a bit. LMAO.

    Rush

    I haven't seen Rush since the "Moving Pictures" tour. I might seek this out. This is exciting.

    This should be cool. She has a much deeper groove than Peart, it will change their sound quite a bit. I hope the fans keep an open mind, she seems stellar.

    I told my daughter I want to see her band tour with Wet Leg and Little Simz. Predictable response: "holy shit Dad, you know who Little Simz is?" Yeah, I'm not a total neanderthal.
  13. Disregarding the sad fact that most MAGAts don't realize Puerto Ricans are American citizens, I have to say, Bad Bunny's second SNL hosting gig was remarkably good. I don't know all that much of his music, but he seems like a talented dude. Of course, Dog Killer is jonesing to arrest him and his crew.

    Yeah, the two bands my wife and I wanted to see were The Strokes (wife) and Wet Leg (me). Once Sabrina C was announced for Saturday it just became cost prohibitive. I couldn't in good conscience say "hey babe I know we can't really pay for 3-day or even Saturday tix aftermarket, but how about Sunday tix to see the band I want to see?" So we drove all over west Texas for comped tix for The Strokes. Eh. Terlingua was cool.
  15. The answer isn't "yes", it's "hell yes".
  16. I'm not boycotting him. I'll spin some Whiskeytown or "Gold" now and again. The songs are great, and I already bought the product.
  17. That's not exactly a feat of prognostication, as the World Trade Center had already been bombed in 1993.
  18. Arch & Quinn are so different that trying to compare them is practically folly. Arch is slow on his reads, doesn't check down well, and has relatively poor touch and accuracy in the short game. He also has an instinct to step up and stand tall in the pocket, and is tough enough to take big hits. Quinn was much quicker in his reads and check downs, had fantastic touch and accuracy and the short game, but he self sacked over and over again. He was worse on the deep throws than Arch, but neither has shown themselves to be great in that regard. Arch has wheels, Quinn had snowshoes. That might be the biggest differentiator. At least one dude can manufacture yards. I guess I'll take Arch, given that there might be some upside to come.
  19. lulz. So he needs to be incredible AND avoid the stupid failures of his teammates? How about we blame his teammates for not being able to catch the fucking football? Good lord.
  20. It's really sad because the US literally has dozens of world-class institutions. Those aren't easy to develop. That number will plummet. I know you're deeply embedded, and I'm sorry you're having to see this play out. My UT graduate work is bulletproof, I'm not that far from retirement, but my two Longhorn kids are going to suffer with this watering down of our university. I don't really know what to tell them.
  21. I think back to that late play with an empty backfield and UF showed possible blitz, left and right. Left guy got there at the speed of light. I'm not sure what the right change of play would have been, but that was pretty sad.
  22. I've mentioned it before, but he was at Hole In The Wall one night when my shitty band was playing. He kept yelling for us to play "Freebird". I finally took off my guitar and said "you come play it, motherfucker". He passed. He's a talent but he's an asshole. The idea of him getting pissed about people requesting Bryan Adams songs is laughable in light of my experience.
  23. Yeah, but 6X of shit is . . . maybe not shit, but maybe don't work for a startup.
  24. Look up the difference between ordinal and cardinal rankings and then get back to me.
