  1. Nah. I know one of the richest guys in Texas. He is actively working to invest a big chunk of money into initiatives that will improve lives on a global scale, addressing food, climate, and energy concerns. Bill Gates is essentially giving it all away. Warren Buffet has given at least half of it away. George Soros (trigger!) is equally magnaminous. The list goes on. I'm not saying they aren't unusual, but I don't think we're quite at "pretty close to mutually exclusive".
  2. It's roughly the size of Trump's tiny little fist.
  3. I sure wish those pickups were chrome.
  4. What? Clemens was a 2-time All-American at Texas. I don't have a problem with anyone who says Swindell was better in college (or even Kieschnick, as he was a beast on the mound and at the plate), but either your statement is a typo or you're not thinking clearly.
  5. There aren't too many artists who can take the same 12 notes and twist them into something wholly different from a melodic and harmonic perspective. He was one of them, up there with titans like Stravinsky, Mozart, Miles Davis, etc. Crazy talented dude.
  6. I think it probably shows up in perishables first, to whatever extent they are exposed to tariffs, because they have to be purchased wholesale much closer to the date of retail sale. WalMart can warehouse an immense amount of paper towels, but a lot of food just doesn't fit that model. I make my older dog's food and just got back from the store. Her blueberries have probably gone up 50% in the last year or so.
  7. Christ, it was almost 40 years ago. All I remember clearly was Meg boobs and a pissed off film crew.
  8. Those farts aren't gonna sniff themselves.
  9. JFC, nobody who isn't an Aggie has ever said that's the greatest band in the world.
  10. Color me skeptical.
  11. For those who use Penzey's spices, they're running a 50% off special on their taco seasonings, all sizes. I believe it's today only. I love their stance on Republicans in general and this administration in particular.
  12. Thanks for the history lesson, Dad. I was there.
  13. Jerritt Elliot has won 3 national titles, Jody won 1.
  14. Tough to keep volleyball off that list, or swimming & diving. Logan?
  15. Well, if we're going RATM, then NWA meets that bar:
  16. I was thinking 4 from all sports, men & women mixed. As if breaking it out isn't hard enough.
  17. Well, you're almost begging for a clip I've posted several times, one that literally made me cry in anger and sadness when it aired live shortly after 9/11. Petty didn't write it about 9/11, but it damn sure fit, and his anger was palpable. The band is more subdued than I've ever seen them, the whole thing was very personal, and definitely a "bring it" moment.
  18. Now, do all sports, men and women: Cat or Clarissa has to make the list Earl shit I can't do this. Hell, we have hall of fame GOLFERS.
  19. Players, not coaches.
  20. So, can you define a "bring it" song?
  21. Man, I love big American guitar rock like that. Rabbit hole, here I come.
  22. I have a feeling CDC wasn't clear on that statement. I don't know if the full scholarship number is 25 or 34, but I'm pretty sure he and Schloss are on the same page. It certainly wouldn't shock me to spread 25 scholarships across 34 players, and maybe augment with NIL to fill in the gaps.
