  1. People seem to forget that we switched to field turf for a reason.  The "state of the art" grass turf that we played on in the last half of the 1990's - mid 2000's had a highly engineered drainage system with no detail of safety and durability ignored.  However, the turf turned to mush during rain games and the playing surface became a bit hazardous during those games(not as bad as Missouri's turf - RIP Fozzy Whitaker's knee).  Also, I recall practices by Longhorns in the stadium were limited to preserve the grass, and other uses for the stadium (UIL playoffs) ended up putting stress on the playing field. 

  2. Other than this site (or its unnamed predecessor), where do you go for new music recommendations and reviews?  I swing by metacritic, but it’s too eclectic in terms of music genres (not sure why, but hard core bands and world music seem to universally compile better scores than every other type of music). Avclub used to be a good source but they are off their game in terms of new music reviews.  

     

  3. The bigger shift on UFO news is that these stories are not being published in the National Enquirer, but in mainstream news sources.  The NYT articles in December 2017 about the Navy’s UFO program had some accounts of unexplainable shit made all the more unnerving by the fact that the story was running in the Times and not News of the World.  Regardless of what the O is in these UFO stories there is a change occurring in how they are being reported.
