  1.  Strickland owned the striking totals but pumping that jab without really going for a finish leaves a lot for the judges to decipher. Seen it too many times in Boxing to be surprised. 

     

    *cough* GGG lost because of this *cough*

  2. I dont feel the way Rodney Terry feels about it, but I do hate when pieces of shit throw the Horns down just to spite us, but the last few pages of this thread make me feel infinitely better. If any of them low-rent future insurance salesmen had our number calling them, they'd answer in a heartbeat. I know a few of these incoming guys would have jumped at the opportunity to throw the Horns down during game week (or during the game if they held the brief lead), but when that phone starts ringing.................... we know who we are. And so do they. And they know that we know that they know. \m/

  3. Gen Z getting Superbad is like Barry Switzer celebrating a super bowl.  

    Graduated 2006, and Superbad came out the next year. That shit was in non-stop rotation in our UT apartment for months. I'll also allow Napoleon Dynamite. 

    Also appreciate the "younger" Gen X classics like Can't Harly Wait or She's All That, etc. 

    Dazed & Confused is on another level though. Easily tops the list for me. 

     

     

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    I’m really starting to hate watching Pop smiling, laughing and smoozing with the opposing team after the game. He obviously doesn’t give a damn about winning the game. Would you care to go and get a glass of wine later?

    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.

  7. 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. 

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  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.

    No such thing as decent German food.

    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.

    Agree. And even with all of that, if Osman doesn’t collide with Wemby on the late Wemby rebound we are 4-2. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    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?).

    I like that our guys finally realized they should throw it to the really tall guy in the paint. He had so many “easy” baskets just because they finally threw it into him. This team could go on a run like the Robinson/Duncan teams did soon. And the best part is that he seems to really be happy to be in San Antonio. He doesn’t seem like the type to force his way to a big market.

    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.

    Let’s not start sucking each other’s dicks just yet (no homo). There is still a lot of game to be played and they are going to make a run. We are shooting lights out right now which you also can’t count on in the second half. They need to play defense, rebound, and limit turnovers and they should be fine.

    We have a Wemby.

  17. 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.
