  1. ESPN front page, an MLB update about how the NL is "vastly" superior to the AL at this point in the season. Two of the teams they highlight, NYM and SD have lost series to Houston. I'm gruntled. Get Diaz, Walker and Yordan batting over .220 (baby steps) and we really might be cookin with gas.
  2. This. The entire premise of the opinion piece is based on Schloss and him being "stolen" as if we had no right to hire a coach from another school. By now it's common knowledge that the guy followed CDC probably even more than he wanted to be at Texas. The basis of the argument is shit. The rest of the points are either horse or bull shit, take your pick. We were apparently not supposed to go after Beard because of some gentlemen's agreement that D1 schools never upgrade their coaching? That the first time I've heard of that. Tech and A&M certainly didn't look to their locker room to hire their next coaches, they poached, like every school that can afford a coaching search.
  3. Hadn't been paying attention closely, but they met in 2021, before she even hit 21? Holy sugar daddy, Bill. That arrangement is well off the rails, and I, for one, cannot wait to watch UNC's upcoming football season unfold.
  4. Just got home from Alamo. It was great. Solid 'A'. When they hung up the Juke Joint sign over the door I got crazy "Dusk til Dawn" vibes. I got very skittish when they started the music scene for some reason, was instantly worried this movie was about to go off the rails. (Kinda like "Sorry to Bother You", which was also great social/cultural commentary until Act 2 started.) But after about 30 seconds I started to love it. Great scene. I think the hip hop pulled me in. Michael B. Jordan did his thing. I'm impressed. Dude's a star. Surprised at the 3 or 4 LOL moments. Starting with them cutting to Stack in the car telling Sam how to put pressure like on an ice cream cone. Thought it was cool to catch Smoke's girl, who had taken a verbal jab earlier in the movie about doing her "Louisiana shit" voodoo, but at Smoke's final scene she busted out the Louisiana accent. Not sure how I missed it earlier but when she said Smoke could "hooolllld" the baby I caught that New Orleans.
  5. Basically all of this, but Ive often thought the whole game is zero sum, and although business class was able to buy more political power and more time, eventually that widening wealth gap has to answer to itself. There's only so far it can go, its not infinite. Imo.
  6. ^^ The last two years' teams would not have been nearly as accomplished with say.... Swoopes, Heard, Buechele, or Card at QB. I'd debate Sam. Quinn was absolutely a high-floor QB that I think I'll look back on fondly, regardless of his shortcomings. He did not carry his team, he did not "will" his team. His teams were MUCH more talented than any teams to have played on the 40 over the past decade before him. He should be judged accordingly. But, he led, and he performed, most times. To say Quinn doesn't belong in the NFL is silly and narrow-minded. I've watched Trey Lance and Cooper Rush take snaps for the Dallas Cowboys. I'd take Quinn over either of those guys in a heartbeat. In fact, Sam, Shane and Garrett Gilbert have all been on multiple NFL rosters, to say Quinn isn't even on their level, or the hordes of no-name reserve QBs across the league, is silly. Quinn will be floating around the league 5 years from now and surly posters will still be posting GM-level opinions to the internet.
  7. Wings and bigs, wings and bigs, wings and bigs. How many SGs do we need? I'm starting to believe. This Flagg shit is getting willed into existence. I'll never forget winning the Wemby lottery, but I suspect I'd attempt a backflip if we won this one. The ensuing death would at least come with a smile on my face.
  8. I'm just hoping I'm somewhat more aware than my dad. We're playing golf with a couple of my buddies yesterday and he comments on a Tejano song that was playing on someone's speaker: "Man I saw that guy on TV the other day, and I couldn't believe that that dude got old!" Yeah, 20 or 30-somethings that had hits in 1994 tend to get old over the course of 31 years.
  9. Don't know you, hope you get the help you need, but "Immamac delete this account and all future accounts" like you can't do it yourself, made me think:
  10. Ever seen the comments on an AOC tweet? They're a lot more vile than believing she's a witch.
  11. This would assume that he's actually capable of putting out a hit on two people. I thought part of the mystery is that we didn't even have proof that he was involved. And capable of killing more. Anyway, I just finished. Probably 6.5/10. Entertained. Could have used way more Carrie Coon, especially topless, but she has the best monologue overall obvs. The family arc..... Annoying, but I mean we could all see that ending for them, right? Gaitok won't last with Mook. He won't enjoy losing his soul to be a fake man with that girl.
  12. I watch a lot, and this week was absolutely over the top. He usually gets a few seconds of a recorded walk in, definitely gets shown on the ringside celeb cam a couple times, but this week giving him a fucking walk in with a couple minutes of uninterrupted screen time and fuckin Tulsi and Kash and Brain Worms and Elon getting screen time and fawned over? Straight knob-slobbing going on over at UFC these days.
  13. Well shit, plenty of dumbshits never find out. It's a new day for me... (I guess in theory it would work great. I feel like I see different every day, but I'll take their word for it that the traffic would be 40-50% worse if the galaxy brains stopping a 2nd lane of traffic to try and zip their way to the exit in the last 100 feet didn't exist).
  14. I don't understand the argument for the "zipper" method of entering a line to exit on the freeway. I've heard twice now that it's the efficient method, but it still just sounds like being selfish to me. It's only efficient for the one cutting in line, there's a 95% chance they are making the person behind them brake, and thus starting the chain reaction of braking that causes backups. The constant braking chain reaction is what causes the backup, not that "not everyone is zippering". Did dumbshits just make up a term for "cut the line because I'm too important to wait" and try to make it sound like it's reasonable?
  15. It's never fucking enough for them. Elon was doing this last year with DOGE. Just blatant fucking manipulation. It's never enough. Trump pump and dumped DJT (or whatever his shitcoin was called) on those cucks, and they stood there and took it. It's never enough. He's manipulating the world economy with tariff tweets now. It's never enough. If there's a bigger play he can think of he'll try it soon, because IT'S NEVER FUCKING ENOUGH.
  16. Great show. Wasn't sure if he was teasing everyone because he kept counting down 3.5 hours, but by gawd he done it. For whatever reason, my favorite moment of the night was him playing 'Juanita'. Just didn't expect anything to be played from that album. But super satisfied that he played damn near everything I would want to hear overall. I'd have been pretty satisfied just to hear 'I Don't Mind'.
  17. I needed it, but I got it. Only took 37 page refreshes, but caught a pair around 10:15. Absolutely stoked.
  18. That sounds amazing. Trying to figure out presale but even Ticketmaster app won't show a link to enter presale code... Guess I'll try my luck in the morning. I love Austin.
  19. At least Atlanta lost. Not sure if they're close to moving spots at all, but it'd be nice.
  20. That's an interesting shirt choice. A sign of a humbling, but one can also think he probably *deserved* to be kicked out of two universities.
  21. If OP had googled it and grabbed the entirety of the 2nd page of (incorrect) search results, he would have had ChatGPT's answer. It just packages that slop with a wordy description of why it is not what you're looking for. Along with other useless facts presented as though they would be helpful to another question that was not asked. I don't get it.
  22. If there's any blonde-haired incels with a 1450 SAT applying to colleges this year that don't want to go aggy or private, they can apply to the new School of Civic Leadership at UT. Why would anyone who has proven a small amount of intelligence apply to an uncredentialed school? Reading the course descriptions under the Civics school is pretty funny. Teaching about exceptionalism, the constitution, Government..... Just send them online with the rest of the incels and let them learn from Stephen Miller. The government and constitution will be whatever the fuck Trump says it will be soon.
  23. Was a fan of Anora, so sat down to watch it for Mikey, and was definitely disappointed in the whole damn episode. Marcello has charisma, but they got him all over the place flailing his arms like an inflatable tube man. The sketches were all pretty weak, but I thoroughly enjoyed Weekend update, both of them seemed to be super sharp. Mikey didn't seem to get much of a chance to have fun, but finding out she was home schooled gets me wondering just how much comedy charisma she really has. Haven't seen her in a light-hearted role yet; only seen Scream, Once upon a time..., and Anora. Wallen got an insta-skip from me. Seems to be an all-around class act, I'm really surprised to hear he's a shithead in public and on social media, at his 31 years of age. /s
  24. Stopped and bought a $50 mega box at a NW Austin card shop off 183 a few months ago (haven't been to or bought from a shop in years) and pulled this bad boy. Had never heard of the dude so just figured it was a random prospect, but apparently he's the Rangers' #1 prospect and a top 20 guy in the MLB. Can sell now for 70-80 bucks and make a profit, or wait til he gets called up and probably sell for triple that. Can Smith from the Astros wasn't ranked nearly as high as this guy, and his prospect autos were going for 200 this week because he made the opening day roster.
  25. I'm ready. Show me what Walker, Paredes and Smith got. Let's get Pena back on track with a little power this year. Yainier to the all-star game.
