  1. The point is that they were roughly our equal last year, are returning more starters, one of which is their QB. It's stupid to completely discount that. But sure, bring your "math and logic" LMAO.
  2. Did you miss the part where we struggled against Vandy? This is the absolute worst part of preseason in college football, the blinders so many fans are born with. Good luck with that.
  3. So Penn State beat a borderline top 25 Minnesota team by 1 and we beat a bordeline top 50 Vandy team by 3 but "meh"? I mean, let's be a little consistent here. I didn't say PSU should be ranked ahead of us, but there is some argument there.
  4. Yeah, Caleb Downs is pretty fucking good. Sark would take him in a heartbeat.
  5. Penn State has a lot of returning talent (14 starters), but I'm not sold on Drew Allar. He looked like hammered dogshit against Notre Dame.
  6. For fuck's sake, even women were laughing. Maybe don't encourage the narcissistic pervert?
  7. I'd still like to see an explanation for why the "missing" number dropped over 90% but the death toll didn't rise. Oh well, nevertheless.
  8. That Gwen Stefani track bugs the hell out of me. I'm not saying she was ever Aretha or Janis, but she was a damn fine singer & performer in the early No Doubt days. Now I can't recognize her or her music, it's as if everything has been run through the polishing machine a half dozen times. Yuck.
  9. I see we're rounding into "there is no way there are 25 teams deserving of a Top 25 ranking in the preseason this year" form.
  10. Real estate is highly competitive and only attracts the best and brightest.
  11. Got dumped on at the office (78758). Check hydromet -- 0.0 at the house. Thanks a lot, Obama.
  12. I won't begrudge any artist any amount of success, but I continue to believe that Next of Kin is in over their heads. Having Sara Hickman as a band mom definitely helps.
  13. Disregarding the scolding for references to Mack, that was back in his days when he would say "JoePa taught me you lose one game for every freshman you start". (Apparently you also rape three football players accordingly.)
  14. Well, that's hardly a scarlet letter. He came up fast and soon had to compete with the Bowden regime, which nobody else did, either. "Couldn't beat FSU" at the time was hardly unique.
  15. I don't disagree, but Phil Fulmer has a title. At some point talent can win out, even w/o a transcendent QB.
  16. While I doubt we'd have won a national title by 2005, we did go 11-2 in both 2001 and 2002. Vince didn't kick ass in 2003, either. Don't overstate it.
  17. I'm nowhere close to being a recruiting fanatic, but I knew about Benson in the day. I went to see that Lee VS Westlake game at DKR. Benson trucked Huston Street about 20 times but Huston always seemed to hang on for dear life. Both were impressive.
  18. * a basement that literally doesn't exist
  19. Yeah, that's a doozy. For one thing, the establishment of Fmaj (ish) to Amaj (ish) sets a tone that is decidely not pop (which would probably be key of Am to the F on the 6). Beyond that, it's really evocative in tone. Well done.
  20. I just watched that. I took special note of the claims that (a) his briskets are 15-17 lbs (b) he smokes at 270 F for ~ 16 hours and (c) he wraps at 10 hours. I have no idea if those are correct, but it's higher temp and longer cook times than most people cite in my exerience.
  21. Ah, so Big 12 doesn't count? Be a bigger pussy.
