  1. Calm down, Nancy.
  2. There are a lot of similarities there.
  3. I understand that. I'm just pointing out that the championship hasn't been a winner-take-all single game for over two decades. I'm pretty sure the 2 out of 3 format still draws a ton of eyes (relatively speaking).
  4. Well, that's sobering. And impressive. Thanks for your service, Bozo's Granddad.
  5. I don't think your last sentence was nearly that malleable, but I'm not going to belabor the point.
  6. Well, that's not even close to true for some people. Class size alone can intimidate kids. I was a transfer into UT my soph year, and I left after a semester. I loved the place but 600 people in a class was just a non-starter for me. I didn't mind the size of the campus or the enrollment, but every person is different, and to assume you know what motivates a specific invidicual is pretty arrogant. I came back for grad school, because I knew I loved UT and Austin and class size wouldn't be an issue.
  7. A one-game finals 36 years ago speaks to the current college baseball setup + media support?
  8. Yes, central Austinites are going to drive to fucking Old Settlers Park because it "crushes". Yeesh.
  9. Just for a little added flavor, that team is currently #146 RPI, and they swept A&M in College Station. That should make the Aggies ineligible this year AND next year.
  10. Speaking of Patty Loveless, it's always a good grounding exercise to watch her step up and take over for her buddy Vince Gill (a previous mention on this thread) when he breaks down at George Jones' funeral. His voice and tone are brilliant for a verse and the first line of the first chorus, and then it's basically Patty supporting him for most of the song. Brilliant, real time performances in a tough environment:
  11. According to the NCAA website, this is the current top 16 RPI:
  12. Avatar/username check out
  13. I'm pretty sure the one with the baritone voice was my freshman biology teacher in high school. No pics.
  14. I'm pretty sure he's posting from the game.
  15. Who's on drums?
  16. Yes, one of my closest friends is a very experienced mechanic. He'll look a car over for a case of beer. . . . to the point that I'm considering a new car.
  17. So, the 3/4/7/8 seeds made the semis.
  18. The majority of American schools were reopened by March 2021, barely 2 months into Biden's presidency. This has the lunacy of those who blame Obama for 9/11 written all over it.
  19. After the 2005 shitshow when those drunk-ass yokels hosted us IN THE SHOE AT NIGHT I don't blame CDC for saying "no thanks" whatsoever.
