  1. Appreciate all the construction jobs. I did residential A/C work with my dad for most of my adolescence and high school, those attics were not fun in the summer, but I still don't think it holds a candle to construction and other general dirty jobs on here. My worst was definitely a seasonal 2-day stint for a restaurant pulling gizzard bags or whatever they are out of turkey necks in preparation for their Thanksgiving pre-orders. We sat in the freezer since the turkeys were to stay frozen, hands were damn near frozen solid after just touching straight ice all morning. Was only a pair o 5 hour shifts, but just me and 2 others that did not speak any English. Definitely brought my ego back in line since it was a job months after finishing up with Grad school and I was checking Craigslist ads for any type of quick buck. The drain was more mental.
  2. Watched it on a flight to Vegas last weekend and thought it was a homerun. Really wish I had taken the time to see it at Alamo back when it was running and it was one of their featured films.
  3. I've stopped watching games in part because of this. I've been to two games this year, watched the first 15 or so intently.... Wemby is worth the time, but this team together is so frustrating, and this is the least frustrated I've ever seen Pop. If he's ok with losing, then my give a shit levels are way down. I'll keep glancing at box scores and getting the game stories on twitter.
  4. Was lucky enough to catch the last few rounds. That seemed like a great fight.
  5. Will be in the wrong corner on 248, but I'll be there and I'll have double horns up until my fuckin arms fall off. So stoked for this after missing Colt vs. Bama my senior year (damn that's a long time to hold that one in). I'll have my father with me who just turned 73, but I'm not letting him off the hook, there will be much drinking and much shit talking and Texas-Fights. Going to be a hell of a fun business trip.
  6. Went from "seen hotter on campus" to a Forty-Acres 5.5 and all it took was one murder trial. And y'all were out here thirsting.....
  7. I was at the game tonight. Completely stunned when he did that, in the middle of a fucking game. Like it's a completely normal sports thing, since when are ANY sports fans better than that? Also, Branham does not need to be starting in the NBA. And some other guys like Champaigne and Bassey belong either in Austin or way at the end of the bench. The fact that those guys see minutes tells me how thin we are on talent right now. The bench is a mess.
  8. It's the same team, down to Vassell missing too many games and it's pushing us right into lottery territory once again. I've already lost my steam to watch this team play such terrible basketball, but I'll be at the game on Wednesday. Wish Wemby had some vets to learn from, I think PATFO may have overlooked that part. I can understand their "wait and see" approach to coaching him, but it would help if he had someone to model himself and his shot selection, decision-making, etc. off of while on the court. Instead everybody's just doing young dumb things together. It's stupid. I would need some stats to back up my hunch, but I also wonder what Sochan's ceiling as a PG really is. In the handful of games I've watched, he doesn't seem like he can really defend point guards, he's not quick enough. Maybe I'm off though. The decision making and distributing improvements would be welcome, but he ain't getting much faster and quicker at this point, that can't be coached.
  9. Really enjoyed last night's episode.
  10. Excited for my Houston Lamar Redsk.... Texans. Always fly under the radar because you can't figure out how seriously to take them due to HISD, but they seem prepped to have a chance at the 4th round. Would like to see the pipeline flow again, they got a 4-star OT in 2025.
  11. I have no idea if this is truth or not, but that plate sure looks like a chicken fried (steak? chicken?) that I can get at any diner or southern restaurant in town.... Where's the German? Also this post is on topic because Maalik can't run but I think we win this week even if he does play, and if Ewers is healthy then let's go win the fucking Big 12.
  12. I read about it this morning, but didn't even realize that's what happened there. I was too busy yelling "a fucking nother one?!?" when they came down with the offensive rebound. Disappointing.
  13. Got to head to Wemby's House yesterday. Aside from the stupid 2nd half meltdown, it was a blast. He really is even more impressive in person. He's a black hole on defense, but unfortunately Toronto hounded him enough it the 2nd half to keep him quiet. I guess we really needed Vassell to take the pressure off of Toronto's anti-wemby defense systems. Collins going 1-6 from 3PT really pissed me off again. He just won't stop shooting them. Keldon looked good for most of the game, I liked his play. Jones and Sochan were absolutely torched by Schroeder. I thought bringing Jones in would slow him down as a faster defender..... it didn't help. I was embarrassed watching them get torched like that, he's a plus player but he's not an all star level dude. Wtf. Barnes... well they let him shoot open 3s, what are you gonna do (other than defend them maybe?).
  14. I'm wondering if the market is changing. Vassell just extended, Collins just extended. Sochan and Johnson seem happy. It's a team of young guys of value, that generally seem to enjoy the process..... in San Antonio. It feels different from the 2010s.
  15. Booker talking all that shit with 6 minutes left. I knew the most demoralizing thing would be Wemby coming in and taking over. And I can't believe a 19 year old fucking kid did it. He's insane and already has ice in his veins. 3 minutes left and both Booker and KD blinked, and it was done before they could react.
  16. Anatomy of a Fall. French film I hadn't heard anything about other than seeing it on the Alamo Drafthouse website. A bit of a murder mystery/courtroom drama that toes the line to thriller. Really liked it. At times the courtroom scenes felt like a 90s trial movie throwback, and overall enjoyed watching the story unfold.
  17. Expecting the Suns to be salty tonight, but I'd be very pleased if we could keep this one within 12 points all the way. Even if we lose. Clean it up, tighten it up.
  18. Before last year, when they brought in FInaly, I never thought I'd like him as much as I do, but he sure feels like the soul of this team now. Especially with a rough year on offense, he just works, and finds a way (when other, much more expensive options that won't be named but are definitely from Argentina, can't).
  19. I guess you haven't seen a heavyweight UFC fight in a while either. Take a look at some of their contenders like Derrick Lewis and Tai Tuivasa and report back. The depth of the division just isn't there...... but also it's the most barbaric and basic division of them all, because hard punch to head beat muscle body many time.
  20. It's not even the typical type of off night that happens to NBA teams where it's just a tough shooting night, they're failing at the basics of the game right now. Unforced turnovers. Can't even inbound.
  21. Terrible. 3 (or 4?) turnovers directly to points. And they're just lazy turnovers.
