  1. When you really think about it, we're definitely a level below 2 SEC teams we've beaten in our last 2 bowl games. And truly on par with South Carolina. [/sarcasm]
  2. If they played in the Big 12 this year they would still lose to Clemson, OU, UT and Iowa State. TCU would not be a gimme. And they would still be battling Texas Tech and Oklahoma State for 2nd tier relevance in the Big 12. Get out of here with that "if only they weren't playing in the SEC" bullshit.
  3. Yeah nah fuck that, I just paused it when she started talking about dad dying and she got home from Cali. I'm at work, I can't be watching this here.
  4. Never have, I live on the east side and generally avoid bars outside my neighborhood after games. I didn't think about that, I might check it out if it's more of a football crowd and less of a weekend tourist crowd.
  5. I was reading that last night. My biggest eyeroll was when they said Rainey St was in walking distance of DKR. I guess it technically is, but I'm not walking it. But I'm also not stupid enough to go to Rainey St on a Saturday night - let alone the night of the LSU game. Fuuuuuuck that. Rainey St. on a Saturday night is a clustershit. I also long for the days (a year ago) where their views on East 6th would've been true (locals hang out there). It used to be hipsterish, used to be locals, but now it's just the condo dwellers and more tourists staying in the new hotels/air bnbs. Most of them probably won't even know it's a football weekend.
  6. Cheap pizza. I go to the Varsity (old double daves) once every 1-2 months bc it's cheap and I'm in the area for lunch. I even crave it sometimes, but every time I leave I hate myself for not making better choices.
  7. Two defenders there and nobody stayed outside. That's what you call low IQ football.
  8. Damn you had a good view. I showed up around the end of the opener and stayed in the back, sweating my balls off it was so hot. But yeah they've taken their live to another level. Fun show. Had the crowd moving.
  9. Black Pumas night 1 at Mohawk on Friday. They sold out all 3 nights, what a homecoming. Saw them in December in Houston at a third-full theater, and at SXSW 2018 with maybe 20 people. They took off like a rocket.
  10. Why do you give these dumbasses the time of day? Is it for your own amusement or to show the rest of the fans how much dumbasses you have to deal with? Also, why did you agree to speak with this dumbass?
  11. I got uppers, Section 120 Row 3. I'll see y'all in the lower section in 10 years. I do not know you in public however, do not acknowledge me, do not speak to me, do not make eye contact with me, you do not exist in public. Hook 'em.
  12. Definitely have thought about the receivers (which is understandable, but not comforting considering we still have to face Tylan Wallace, Lamb and Reagor), but hadn't really taken Sam into account. Luckily we won't have to face heisman contenders at QB this year, but they are certainly facing one in practice. Unless you count Hurts, which I don't.
  13. I don't have anything else to bitch about right now, so consider me officially worried about the corner position. I don't like that I'm hearing that these corners can cover but are having ball-skill trouble. Yes, I imagine it's an incredibly difficult position to learn, but if that's the case these guys sure could've used a redshirt. Boyd and Davis were constantly turned around on deep balls and mistiming jumps and PBUs in the endzone. Both guys were thrown in the fire as Freshmen, had two INTs their junior years, and finished their "stellar" senior years with one whopping interception. If ball skills can be learned at the corner position, these guys sure didn't seem to do it, and I hope Washington can teach Cook/Jamison/Green/Boyce to play the ball in the air or we might be in for some more Conference-level corners that don't match up with Big 12 Conference-level receivers. Hopefully we're lucky enough to not have to face Murray/Grier level play this year either. Don't get me wrong, we're still going 12-0 this year and 12-0 next year, but this is disgruntling.
  14. I have not either, but did get a courtesy email on Saturday that they had been mailed and would be here in 2-3 business days. Soon.
  15. Those inner-city Houston boys weren't going to your shithole of a town. Neither was a kid from Angleton, the pipeline trickles but it's ours.
  16. Finished it last night, surprised so many on this board are singing praises. I gave it a B-, it felt like a good soap opera. Better than average, but not great. Everything is so dramatic, the stakes are so high, typical teenagers. I do wonder how my viewing of this show would change if I was a. A parent myself or b. Had lived this in high school. I feel out of the loop, went to a big public high school, we partied a bit, but nothing was this crazy. This is soap opera level shit. Then again every character in this "crew" has a fucked up home life of some sort, they aren't showing the stable homes, nor the split homes where both parents are still involved and providing support/love. Rue's dad died, Cassie's dad is a crack-head and mom's an alchie, Maddie's parents hate each other in the same home 24/7, Nate's dad likes underage trans kids, Jules' mom is MIA, etc. etc. The only semi-normal home seemed to be Kat's and I never saw a dad in hers. The only couple of "good & normal" kids seemed to be the dude that sat next to Kat and fell in love with her and Cassie's little sister (who grew up in the same household but is completely different). Everybody else was the most dramatic character they could muster.
  17. Thinking about it? What are you some kind of cot-damned philosopher commie? It's 2019, you watch it once, react immediately (classic or trash?) and the proclaim how much you hated it or loved it to whoever you know, loudly, and never think about it again. Deej had a pretty good/succinct write-up, kudos.
  18. Even though after hour 2 I "felt" that it was taking a long time, there was no point where I was "bored". I can't blame a director for my attention span.
  19. Derrick White apparently graduated from the Select (JV) team to the varsity Team USA before the World Cup, in only a few days of practice. JVG singing his praises. I am gruntled.
  20. Fans tweeting at Del Conte about a grass field. He says he's a fan but it's the coaches decision. Can anyone explain this? I don't see what the shit of a difference it would make to a fan. The 55-year old white dude who tweeted Del Conte sure as shit ain't gonna be lacing 'em up on Saturdays so what difference would it make to him? Is it some nostalgia/purist shit or what?
  21. This one annoys me for sure. I feel like if he hasn't learned to move his damn feet in pass pro by now he sure ain't gonna learn it, but I'll trust some Herb Hand instruction. Same as the rest though, we'll know pretty soon whether he blew his last offseason to become a tackle or not.
  22. It was the 4th day of practice and from this page alone there's been Duvernay getting beat out of his job (on the 4th day of practice) so Herman moved him inside so a Senior could see playing time, and Anthony Cook likely has off-the-field issues now (first any of us has heard of a problem) because apparently Jamison, the other highly-touted 4-star athlete, can't be better than him. It's week 1, Herman is tinkering. He used Collin in the slot, why not ask whether Epps beat him out too? We won't know shit about shit until the end of next week at the earliest. Just like last year, Calvin Anderson was a waste of a roster spot and a joke of a talent from a joke of a conference by day 4.
  23. About time they cut that waste of a draft pick. Years wasted marvelling at his height daydreaming about what a weapon he could be if he knew how to fucking play the game of football. I was tired of the bullshit around him last training camp. This isn't Madden 2020, this is the NFL, either he can play or he can't.
  24. Yes, they are generally accurate estimates. Most tips are $2-$3, but half the riders don't even tip. Probably a millenial thing. I don't know. But for the distance you're taking I'd think $4-$5 is a "good" tip that would make a driver give a surprised nod when the notice pops up on their phone. I drive part-time, in my free time that's not my 8-5.
