  1. Siap, anybody got a good site to stream? Streameast is too American I guess, and sportsurge seems to be dead. Not a premier league guy usually but this matchup seemed too good to pass up. Edit: internet says it's NBC.... Guess I gotta wait for these antelope to get off my tv.
  2. Anybody else get the errant email this morning from Athletics selling Texas Volleyball National Championship merch from 2020? I was extremely confused and did not think there was anyway my memory has gotten so bad that I forgot that we won a national championship last year. I clicked the link, and obviously there was no actual merch on the website, but the pictures are there on the email. Pretty good prank if they were hacked somehow. Wtf.
  3. It sure has been consistent. For all the talk of "battles" in the offseason, this is pretty much what we left last year thinking, hopefully that's a good thing in a couple months.
  4. I had to look up the stats myself because I couldn't believe it. There were 22 dudes in the AFC alone who had more yards than him. And obvs there would be a lot of ties with TD's, but he didn't even crack the Top 50. Wtf? That lunch pail goes a long way these days.
  5. I loved the 3rd episode. It finally grabbed me. The characters and acting kinda threw me off in the pilot (or maybe just their dry humor), but 2 was better, and 3 had me cracking up. The ridiculous bar story getting better and better all episode, and ending as a meth rager was hilarious. And agree that the girl who seemed to be a supporting character is taking over the show. I'm an episode behind though so i'll catch up tonight and see what else they got in store.
  6. I was gifted this a couple weeks ago. I like it, but hadn't tried it before so didn't even know whether to post it to this thread. Had a few sips last night, I'd rate it at about the $40-45 range myself, not anything to knock my socks off, but flavorful.
  7. Just wanted to check out a couple songs before my work day got started, wound up listening to an entire hillbilly epic before sitting down at my desk and I regret none of it. I laughed, I cried, I smiled, I yeehaw'd.
  8. MLK & Airport has to be the worst Whataburger in the state. And I've had Whataburger all over south Texas, CenTex, Houston and probably Dallas too.
  9. My first MLS game in-person was in Seattle 2 years ago. They're still kicking ass. There's some good teams in this league, then on the other end of the table, there's us.
  10. The games usually have about 400 tickets on SeatGeek on game day. This morning there was still about 900. I'm sure it's a mixture of COVID and our inability to score goals, but there will likely be some empty seats at the stadium tonight.
  11. I'm a sucker for nachos and those bean/cheese look glorious.
  12. Gotta add the classic gas station breakfast taco almost anywhere in the Valley. Spent the week in La Feria last week and had Stripes/Laredo Taco Company, that was great, and another morning from Steve's corner store in between La Feria/Harlingen. The flour tortillas are guaranteed to be homemade and the barbacoa is usually killer too. From Edinburg to Brownsville.
  13. Seconded. Las Trancas doesn't get mentioned much with the more popular taco trucks in town (and on TV), but it's solid, and those tripas are my go to. With the green salsa it's perfect.
  14. I would think this is the gameplan, but my view is that "Francis is just as big as Gane" and wouldn't be as easy to hit with leg kicks and jabs as Lewis. That height/reach advantage won't be the same. So yeah good luck trying to keep Ngannou at bay with peppering shots. At least I hope.
  15. Checked in to this thread a while back after listening to Sturgill's first two albums (the 3rd definitely didn't stick with me..... yet), but gave Tyler Childers' "Purgatory" (2017) album a listen after hearing Sturgill help produce it, and I liked that too. Definitely going to check out the 2019 project. I like his writing. 2 "newer" (for me) country artists I like after a decade or more of ignoring the genre. Good stuff.
  16. Dak and McCarthy seemed a bit..... uncomfortable around each other. Or mostly Dak. My favorite part may have been sitting through 40 minutes of watching the skill players be grown ass kids, joke around, talk shit, and the only 2 starting O-line I saw (Martin and Smith) looked like some hard-hitting serious mfers, for the few seconds of screen time they got. Oh, and count me in on Parsons. That kid is linebacker crazy, and seems to be locked in on the game. Already calling plays.
  17. Lewis f'd around and found out. What a piss poor performance. And then he seemingly quit at the end. The top 2 in the heavyweight division are not fat and slow and will not let him win the first two rounds off leg kicks and distance jabs. That was a hell of a style mismatch last night.
  18. OH, and T-Loc's Sonoran hot dogs lives up to the hype. I gotta find their truck soon.
  19. Yeah I paid 12 dollars for each draft, I ain't throwing shit. Mayyyybe if someone scores a banger, but not for a song. It is one of the cooler ones we do, but after Saturday's display of ineptness I was not a fan. On top of being down 1-0, having to look at that prick from Colorado, and the prick ref, and a Redes grass kick... was not a happy camper, then they play Cuervos and I caught a face full of water from somebody. All I needed was somebody to spill nachos on me and I probably would've never gone back to see the 3 on Wednesday.
  20. Neither of us was talking about the SS as a whole, or the environment they create, we were just talking about that one song. It's ok to not like one song/show the SS does. That's just like, our opinion man.
  21. I don't hate it, but I get the sentiment, it is corny. It's another "look at us, let's stroke ourselves off" moment while the game is going on. It's not like the team gets anything from the lights, they're literally playing the game itself while it goes on. The SS also does the "saw em off" sway during the Cuervos chant, before they go wild, and that part I did hate, bc you know why. Anyway, finally saw my first 3 goals in person last night and was very gruntled. Poch finally showing himself in some good places, and was playing fast and crisp last night. Good to see Pereira back too, hopefully he plays more Saturday, along with Driussi. Let the ascent begin!
  22. It seemed like John Collins was the only real target that was "gettable" for SA, or at least discussed. But it seems most likely that he said he ain't doing it. So who else would have the big wins been? Judging by the two expiring contracts, it absolutely is a chess move for cap space next year, and we get a 1st rounder out of it (good luck on DeMar carrying them to the playoffs in 2024-25. Could be a decent pick. We all know how desirable SA is to big-time free agents....... so I'm not ready to trash PATFO just yet. Now should they have gotten more from DeMar a while back? Maybe..... Edit: but damn, I did want Kai Jones. We need size.
  23. Obvio. He'll always be a Spur. Glad he's getting a shot at another playoff run or two before retiring a Spur.
  24. This. Felt like heading to Alamo yesterday and took a quick look at the reviews to make sure it wasn't dogshit, and yeah I was more than satisfied. Don't know shit about Arthurian anything but I can pay attention to a story just fine.
  25. As for the futbol, this is my 4th game in person and I've seen 0 goals. It got to the point last night where I couldn't even join the crowd in getting excited about us getting near the box... You just knew somebody was going to fuck it up. And they did.
