Severance (Apple TV)
Just finished the season last night. Very intriguing ride! Gave it a solid 7.5/10. I'll be waiting for Season 2, but something about how they ended the season has me worried about a Westworld-style path forward. We got a few answers and moved the story forward, but Lumon's work is still so shady, it makes me wonder what we really know about what they've already accomplished, what we really know about the chip, about the outside world and what technology has already advanced, etc. Here's to hoping they don't lose me after season 2 like Westworld did.

Texas vs Miami- Elite 8- 4:05pm on CBS
If I'm being real about the 2nd half performance, I gotta acknowledge that they seemed to purposefully slow the offense down when we went up double digits. Then the whistles started, then any semblance of a flow that we had on offense faded away. We didn't have the legs to push. Then Carr got hurt and he had no explosion. During their run they had at least 3 fast breaks that they didn't get all first half because we were hustling on defense. All of a sudden they started getting 4 on 3 fast breaks because our guys blinked first. We played like dawgs............. Til we didn't. Frustrating as shit. As talented a team as we've had in a long time, and it's not like we need a reminder how often we get a Top 2 seed and a shot at the final four.

It seemed very close to getting there a few minutes of game time ago. There's been a few stops in action since then, but they were huffing and puffing out there. Thought we might have them on the ropes. Credit to them, they're good. But I love how this team fights to win the end of the first half every game. We turn tf up under 2 minutes.

Surly Boxing Thread
Impressive from Benavidez. He really seemed too strong and big for Plant. Much worse beat down than what Canelo gave Plant, can't believe he survived without a knockdown. Benavidez obviously the #2 guy in the division now, but as a Canelo fan I'd be nervous to see Canelo face David. He's too big and strong, he really should be fighting Bivol. I assume the only reason he makes 168 is because he's only 26.

[SWEET SIXTEEN BOUND] Texas vs Penn State - NCAA Tourney round of 32
Oh, and coming back to this thread to say F that bulldog face lookin ass dude that Disu was eating up all night. Hit a couple threes and the camera wouldn't stop showing his bulldog-face lookin ass dad. Why were they on him so much? I didn't have audio last night so idk if he was an ex NBA player or somethin, but that dude wasn't even the star of the team and I kept having to see his dad talkin shit in the stands. Really wish they would've shown him more when Disu was eating his son's lazy ass post defense up.

The barely too Early 2023 SXSW band, venue, RSVP suggestion thread!
Heading to Empire Control Room for some Latin-tinged music this afternoon (psychedlic "Divino Nino" at 2:30 then I'll check out whoever is after), then try to walk over and catch The Osees at Volstead/Vegas at 6. A bit worried about lines for both shows though. We'll see. Staying after for the Cumbia showcase at Hotel Vegas. I'm usually in the latin acts or general rock acts shows. I will say The Stacks sound pretty good. Might have to drive down to Sagebrush tomorrow and catch their last show.

2023 World Baseball Classic
Luckily found myself in Phoenix this weekend, didn't realize the WBC was going on here, but made it to the Mexico/Colombia game. What a fun atmosphere. About 70% packed. Mexico played very up and down. Arozarena seems like he's ready for a big year.

The Last of Us coming to HBO
This. Advancing the storyline probably doesn't mean the same thing to the writers than to some of the audience. If the story line is supposed to be Ellie getting to her destination and scientists studying her and creatine an antidote and saving the world..... then I'm pretty sure the story needs to be as strung out as possible to make it a "story". The friends we made along the way, and what not........

Creed III
He's literally a welterweight. Under 150 pounds. Pretty sure he got smacked around by Bud Crawford a few years ago (who had a couple brief shots in the movie training with Creed). I tried not to get too much into the weeds about actual boxing shit in the movie, but if you want to go there, let's talk about how Mexicans don't really fight in heavyweight, they're not big enough, and the last one that shocked the world a few years back was like 6'0" 340 with a beer gut the size of a Modelo keg. That would've been hilarious to see across Michael B Jordan.

Creed III
I gave it a B. I guess it's a boxing movie just as much as any of the Rocky or Creed movies are "boxing" movies, but it's just hard to get over the fast-forward plot techniques they use to write these scripts. This one felt very Disney even, aside from the troubled past storyline..... Majors' character had such a ridiculous story it was hard to take it serious. But I guess that's my first problem.... Majors was good though, and MBJ is ok.

Austin FC
Atmosphere still fun as ever at Q2. Place erupted, and so did I after Maxi brought 3 home. I was ready to see him at minute 60.... Zardes is just ..... there. Like he has been. Same with Rigoni, just out there taking up space running in straight lines. I was ready to see Finlay around minute 60 too. Patience running thinner and thinner each week watching Rigoni.

#9 Texas @ #22 TCU, 8pm, ESPN2
I had so much fun watching this team in November, December. They are not fun to watch any more, and haven't been for a few weeks. I don't know where we go from here once we get rid of our 5 different European league JAGs we have running this team as veterans, especially since our 5-stars also look like JAGs. They were supposed to raise the ceiling of this team, but they haven't established that they're even Big 12 worthy yet. At least I can confidently say Fuck Chris Beard and his trash ass.

Austin FC
I'm not giving him much more, but I have a couple more games into this season left in me before I let my true feelings on Rigoni out, and they're pretty much exactly what you're saying. He has earrings and tattoos like Driussi and they're buddy buddy and can throw a good asada with Urruti and Diego, but I want a mfer that performs, not that makes the South Americans feel more at home in Austin. Welp..... that's a lot of my feelings, but I can go harder if he earns it.

Surly Boxing Thread
Frustrating fight. Can't believe that knockdown off a little jab to make it dramatic. And the foot slipping. Of course that shit would happen. They won't show or acknowledge the rabbit punching Paul was constantly throwing, off clinches that he was definitely an active participant in instigating (if not majority). Fury deducted a point for holding the head down when Paul's technique had him ducking his head every time he stepped in off a jab. What the hell is he supposed to do? "a bad cut over Fury's eye now, it's those overhand right hands Paul keeps landing"....... 7 seconds later "here you can see the clash of heads that caused the cut over Fury's eye". What a joke of a promotion, but at least they got the decision correct.

Austin FC
There's definitely a few traditions brewing for Austin FC still, just wish beating ourselves wasn't one of them. Stuver had some of those moments last year, good on Wolff to preach the Next Man Up mentality to Keller. Is this just MLS quality, and lots of teams do this type of shit multiple times a year? Or are we an anomaly?

Dumb Question Amnesty Thread
Coffee question: If I buy a "large" Americano, what goes into the extra few ounces? Am I paying for extra water? I know most espresso drinks are made with a standard (double?) shot, so I can't imagine for a dollar more they're giving you another shot.

You know how you know you’re not cool anymore?
Go over to the "High" thread and read up on the Delta-9 gummies available widely in the State. Including by mail. "Hometown Hero" seems to be a popular distributor, and is veteran owned and proud of it, as required in Texas.

Xavier Worthy - Chiefin'
Yup, the easy route would be to say that he was hurt, he had an excuse, and not work on what needs to be worked on. Hope that's not what he intends to do.
