  1. It's so good right now, you don't even have to read the threads. Just pore through the topic titles. Entertainment for hours.
  2. I can beat all y'all. I was excited when Texas finally (in my lifetime) made a big bowl (Sugar) had a fake player get exposed (McKelvey) and got it's offense drilled (by V Tech). I was all, "It was still the Sugar Bowl".
  3. Almost forgot. After two hours of explaining a simple concept to the jury pool, the last defense attorney asked if anyone had any questions. A 40-ish year-old woman raised her hand and asked what methamphetamine was.
  4. C'mon y'all. Takeo Spikes likes the hire. How can you not marvel at the 3D chess aggy is playing?
  5. Didn't get selected; however, it was a pain in the ass process. Check in at 8. Outside the courtroom by 9. Told that we'd either be selected or let go by 11. Nothing. At noon, we finally go in. Two hours of attorney questioning/statements. Told to recess for 20 mins to get the jury selected. Hour and a half later, and I'm not picked. Walked out after 3. Geez. The case, btw, was some Mexican dude who had been busted dealing 8 (grams?) of meth. He had just pled guilty, so the trial would have been for the punishment - 5-99 years. One dumb chick asked the judge what meth was. Perhaps she was playing 3-D chess and figured a question like that would preclude her from serving. Anyway, it was only supposed to a be a 2-day thing, so I'm kind of disappointed in not getting picked. One last thing. It's rare to be in a room of your random peers and find out how absolutely, GD stupid much the population is. The question that took 2 hours to answer took several different explanations from the judge, as well as both sets of attorneys. Would you be wiling to consider the entire spectrum of punishment? I.E. min of 5; max of 99. Obviously, 99 years is extreme - even for most anti-drug sorts; however, most couldn't distinguish between considering and doing. The defense attorneys were wrapping themselves in knots because they were going lose a huge segment of those that would probably be favorable to their cause. The judge actually had to change the wording of the question, so the defense didn't lose over 50% of those present.
  6. Missed you by 8 years. My wife was 1999.
  7. Right? For a team I generally rooted for, they became quite c*%$y after a tad bit of success.
  8. Mine as well. What year?
  9. Yes. I got my bj out of the way earlier today.
  10. I haven't had anything worthy enough to post for a second. Got one tonight. 6th grader is struggling with his homework. Wife was helping him. I look at problem #1, and it's wrong. Son had doubled everything. I told him this was wrong which pissed off my wife. I couldn't get it through her head that 12 is half of 24 and, thus, you'd use half the amount of each. After arguing with me for 5 minutes, she walks away and says, "Fine. Listen to your father. I scored higher that him on the ACT in math." I took the SAT and scored 1390. I have no idea how I did in math, but I know what a half is. Her last comment was, "If you're so smart, see if you can get his mattress cover on his mattress. Of course, I couldn't let it go. I took care of the mattress in 3 minutes, then went downstairs to let her know it was as easy as figuring out the math.
  11. 4th and 31. Rush 2. Somehow give up a TD in single coverage. Well done.
  12. Auburn should have to go to the Big 12 for that fuckery.
  13. What a meltdown. 2
  14. Another clean qtrs by a Big 12 for. Amazing that teams are just so GD perfect against us.
  15. Correct. If heading north by all the official tailgates, it's last, up the hill.
  16. Well anyway. If anyone at the tailgate sees this, come say hi. Wearing the TX Columbia hat. With my son. Playing catch.
  17. Well. I'm here. Nobody I've spoken to posts on Surly, so I have no idea what to do.
  18. Aggy employee arrested for pedophilia. https://www.kbtx.com/2023/11/17/2-brazos-county-men-federal-court-unrelated-child-pornography-charges/
  19. It kind of was. Didn't we get screwed by a couple of coaches and writers when it came to the poll calculation?
  20. I thought about that. Holding is called less overall in the Big 12 as compared to most conferences. My argument is that it's going to have a far more negative effect on a team like TX. Hence, point #1.
  21. This is what I can't get past. Texas' front 7 and backups have several NFL prospects - some possibly 1st day picks. Texas has played 10 games w/ Big 12 refs. (I think this is correct. Taking out Bama as I know that was SEC.) OU ran 80 plays against us, so I'm going with an average of 80 defensive plays a game. On any given play, there are between 3 and 10/11 blocks. So, I'll go with an average of 6 blocks a play. 10 games X 80 plays X 6 blocks = 4,800 potential blocks. Apparently, *4,799 of them have been clean. * I can't recall the exact # of holds called. I know one was offsetting against Baylor. I only recall one hold that was called and accepted. I'm sure my effort and math can be picked apart. Regardless, there is no excuse for our team - giving 100% - to have to play above and beyond the 11 on the other side of the line.
  22. Sweet. I have a miniature lawn Bevo of my own. It's about the size of a golden retriever. Wife got it at an estate sale. It goes out front for both Halloween and Christmas.
  23. Haha. My Tech father still throws a fit to this day stating that was a dirty hit.
