  1. Also the dumbest captain we've ever had. A man of many faces.
  2. Best Captain Austin FC's ever had. Even if he's not the player he used to be.
  3. Quinn was asked early about Connor Weigman, and I'm assuming another aggy showed up late and asked him again 15 minutes later about his relationship with Conor Wiegman. Who tf cares if they're friends or not? They're so damn desperate for validation.
  4. Saw him open for Parker McCollum a couple years ago in the first year of the Moody Center. He played either El Rey or Volver, Volver (or both?) to a packed house. Loved that he'll do it on the big stage and the small, he's a true Border Kid.
  5. Damn, don't got to say much other than that to share my thoughts. It's 1 year, we weren't winning the championship next year. Fuck it. Just don't leave a choking, flopping stench when you leave. Pick up after yourself and don't stain the jersey.
  6. I'm more patient than most, it just hurts to punt a #8 pick. We rarely pick that high, obviously lucked out with Wemby, then find ourself with two more Top 8 picks, when for years we were searching for diamonds in the 15-28 range (thinking of the years of Walker, White, Murray, etc. as our first round picks). I get that the draft was weak, but sure seemed like we needed that infusion of talent that HAD to have been better than having our bench full of guys we just promoted from G league (Champaignie, Wesley, Barlow, etc.). But if PATFO is confident that this will lead to even better talent next year, then so be it I guess. Without a couple of summer vets, this year will be another "patient" year as Wemby tries to carry us to another 10-15 wins though. IMO.
  7. I think your daughter might be in our department (or at least contacted us about a class). My coworker was telling us a semester or two ago about the cool student she spoke to that was working around a touring schedule. That's awesome, congrats to her and you.
  8. I've been somewhat considering moving back to Houston in the near future and UH does a hybrid schedule as well, as does UH-CL (which is a lot bigger than when I last lived there 15 years ago).
  9. This is 1000% where my head is. I'm staff, and will have my WFH cut because of this (if I can't find a job by August 19th). The other kick in the nuts is that at the same Staff Council meeting they discussed this months ago, they also noted that the University's merit pool is also being de-funded. CSU's will have to fund it themselves (easy, right?). I have no doubt that whatever budget man Hartzell hired was brought in to make corporate-style cuts to services and staff. Thus, this policy. It's completely in line with what the corporate overlords want, which is what Greg wants, which is JH's directive. Which usually means being an absolute piece of shit to staff and making it clear that they aren't welcome. They'll leave a percentage of the jobs unfilled, those that they do fill will be less-skilled and paid less. So do I stay in my student-facing role with a bled-out team that will be overworked and understaffed with the next person who quits (hopefully me first)? Or head to greener pastures. God fucking forbid I hang on to the sliver of hope that I could make a career out of trying to help college students figure out their lives. I just got my 10-year staff service award sent to me last month too. Invited to the President's award ceremony for light snacks and a speech from the man himself. Kiss my ass. He was already on my shit list for being Abbott's lackey. No way in hell I was showing up to hear him spill platitudes out the side of his mouth where Greg's dick isn't.
  10. I generally liked it, a solid B+ summer light-hearted flick, but I can also realize the "point" of the movie had nothing to do with the Hit Man aspect (and TM article) but was rather to spoon-feed us some more Glen Powell as a leading man. The "Gary is such a dork" parts were eye-rolling, it's obviously just Glen doing his 'aw shucks I'm not charismatic' routine and we're to pretend if someone asked us to visualize a community college philosophy professor, his face would come up? Whatever. I had fun in between the eye rolls. And if anything novel came out of the movie to me, it would be Adria. God Damn.
  11. Wikipedia says Toulouse has been in Ligue 1 for both the 22-23 and 23-24 seasons, after winning League 2 in 21-22.
  12. Figured they decided to announce the signing after that gut-punch of a 2-0 loss at home.
  13. We did it! We finally fucking did it!! 6 goals and 6 assists in 58 appearances. While Jader has 4 goals and 2 assists in 14 appearances. Don't have to say much more.
  14. Agreed, Usyk had the bigger moments, and even though I had the rounds even, Usyk got the extra point in his bag.
  15. Any auto from a hanger is a win!
