  1. Not a huge Charlo fan but I generally pull for them. Sucks to see Jermell be on the end of a shit decision. The argument for it is pretty silly and ignores how the fight actually unfolded. Harrison was cautious and timid the entire fight and refused to scrap.
  2. Seconded. About half an hour in I was getting Linklater vibes with all the meandering but somewhere along the way the story catches you and it's also not hard to notice this guy is a fuckin pro with the camera work. Beautiful movie for being black & white.
  3. Great show. Best under the influence bc you feel like you're just there chillin' with the homies talkin' shit. Bronson and Mayhem seem cool as hell but I could do without Alchemist and Body. Those dudes are just along for the ride. And of course Alchemist would rather be eating McDonald's every night than the fine dining they try to put him on.
  4. They didn't give me that option. They said they weren't doing cancellations but would be charging today or tomorrow. I'm turning my debit card off. Why am I getting F'd as a season ticket holder? Don't mail me shit I didn't pay for.
  5. 34,000 minutes. Top Artists: Miguel, Anderson .Paak, Toro y Moi, Pusha T, The Internet. Thought the first page was pretty funny, Fleetwood Mac mentioned along with BG (from Cash Money).
  6. What'd you think? I thought every damn guitar solo was incredible. And damn near every song had a solo.
  7. Surprised not to see any mention of Gary Clark's 3 shows this week in Austin. I'll be there tonight for the final one. Been waiting since f'ing June.
  8. They had 143 yards at 3.1 per rush. I don't know about "pushing us around." They also got a substantial amount of that off of jet sweeps (including 28 yards on a TD), before we figured out how to defend that, and while we had Malcolm Roach lumbering around the middle of the field masquerading as a starting LB. AND Gary Johnson got kicked out in the 2nd quarter. I ran the highlights of that game back and man we aren't even close to that defense we trotted out week 1. No BJ Foster, no Gary, and Malcolm was getting reps at MLB next to GJ (he played as a NT in the second half of the season, and in game 1 we had him trying to catch receivers off jet sweeps as a LB). Not to mention Kasim Hill had knees during week 1 and Georgia has starting QB that won't misdirect with triple option BS.
  9. He'll play more 4-man lines and ask Hager to take on less double-teams and "free up the LB" duty. At least I hope he would. ISU gameplan all the way. I respect Breckyn. But I'm glad this is going to be his last game as a starting DE at the University of Texas. He'll finish Top 3 in our hearts, but nowhere near the Top 5 DEs we've had on campus in the 2010s.
  10. Who has Golovkin ever lost to that he beat 11 rounds to 1? Good scrap. Went all according to script (power vs. boxing skills script) aside from the questionable decision. I was rooting for Wilder, but yes Fury probably still deserved a win after that fight.
  11. Finishing out my last hour of work this week on the 40 acres...... from campus: FIIIIIIIIIGHT!
  12. This is it for me. Was formulaic and predictable, but solid and worth the price of admission. I also got goosebumps with the music drop.
  13. Wish there was a way to know it was going to be chicken shit so we could've taken Covington/Saric and a pick and at least had some youth on the team. They kicked our ass last night. Maybe we wouldn't be this bad with Dejounte, but I don't see him making that much of a difference.
  14. Was just there for Thanksgiving. Internet is kind of spotty, but hopefully they see it by Friday.
  15. Of course I consider something like 42-21 "respectable". They don't score 60, you put up multiple touchdowns, everybody wins!
  16. Just tagging on to a similar post, but this is the time every year where I hope for just one upset. I think there's 6 valley teams left, if 1 of them wins it will be a huge year for the region. My money is on my connection to the Region, the mighty La Feria Lions playing La Vernia for the 4A Area. Really interested to see if Edinburg Vela can keep it respectable with Westlake. They're 12-0. I was originally kind of disappointed they didn't schedule an out-of-region game, but they've beat both Weslaco and Hanna (who are both still playing this weekend). Hanna also beat Amarillo Tascosa, who is playing this weekend. I think they might have the most hope for the 6A teams against Brandeis.
  17. TL;DR. Seems like you really, really don't like Charlie and you really, really might be a litigator.
  18. And definitely saved his body by going down at every shoe-string swipe hurled at him. Saved himself plenty of wear & tear on the body and also saved himself from the burden of finding out exactly how many mo' problems making mo' money brings you. Competitiveness and hunger will always reign supreme at that position.
  19. Saw The Internet at Emo's on Thursday. Really good show. I know they're a proper "band" but it was still pretty cool to see everything played live with the amount of keyboards/synths they use in their brand of funk/r&b. Syd can really, really sing too. Glad it was sold out. 2 weeks out for Gary Clark's rescheduled show that I should've seen earlier this year. Literally been waiting for it all year.
  20. I don't find it hard to imagine a better defense at all. Not including the last couple games? Then lets revisit our two huge early wins (and Maryland) again. JT Daniels has 11 TDs and 9 INTs this year. Shawn Robinsonhas thrown 9 TDs and 8 INTs this year, before being benched. Maryland has been held to 14, 0 and 3 points this year (and none of those teams that kicked their asses are ranked right now). I'm not saying this to rehash our failures, I'm saying this year has been one big failure on defense. This isn't some new phenomenon that came after Kyler Murray, this defense has been suspect all year and finally played some teams with an offensive pulse. Therefore expecting our defense to not be a big failure next year again would be a pretty low bar I'd be willing to set. The only player I'm really worried about replacing is Nelson. Everybody else has production that is replaceable. I wish I could add G. Johnson to the list, but even he has had a pretty shitty 2nd half of this season.
  21. Don't have many brushes at all, walked past Shaq at the Galleria in Houston once, near an entrance to a department store with nobody else around but his friend and my family, kind of surreal. Nate Diaz worked out at my gym last year (24 hour fitness at the Hancock Center) before UFC Austin. Also saw Mia Khalifa there acting stupid and annoying during SXSW (jumping on and off machines, generally just fucking around while a hotter blonde friend and some ugly short dude actually worked out). One day in Memphis I was walking down the street minding my own business, just walking off, feeling good, I walk around the corner, a man walk up, hit me in my chest right? I fall on the ground right? and i look up and Dr. Martin Luther the King, I say "DR. KING!?" he say: "oops I thought you were somebody else..." tl;dr I saw a porn star and ufc fighter at my gym and shaq at the galleria and martin luther the king punched me in my chest once.
  22. While we're at it, why is it David Bowie but James Bowie?
  23. I was all for the name change because I originally believed in the mistake. Now I'm not so sure, but it seems to me both sides (Spanish-Texan settler vs. French/Choctaw pronunciation) have about the same amount of evidence and the same amount of BS within their argument. But one reason I don't fault myself for believing the Menchaca story is because white people mispronounce shit just because it doesn't sound nice to them all the time, especially in Texas. Sue me.
