  1. I never did get my phone.  

    I think a lot of this has to do with instant gratification and audience.  Sure, if Texas wins a MNC, it's great to get a magazine with the team on the cover 5 days later; however, by that time, I've probably read every, single article on the team.  Additionally, I never really cared about 90% of the content.  I'm not going to sit down and read about the Chargers' linebacker or UConn's women's basketball team - even if it's free.  These days, I'd rather obsess over chicken fried steak and bewbs.

    Camp cupcake had a few players. The problem isn’t the good players, it’s that the shitty players are really shitty and we already know this, we should be evaluating a lot more youth instead of guys we know will never make the top teams. 

    Yep.  Used to drive me crazy when we'd have these games and play 31 year-old, MLS retreads over the youngsters.  Zardes, Nipple, Roldan, Lletget, etc...

  3. When I arrived in Austin in '91 for school, I had no idea there was a Dallas/Houston rivalry.  I learned quickly.  30 years later, I never would have imagined rooting for anything in Houston.  That being said, I hope y'all win the Super Bowl.  There.  I typed it.  No takebacks.

    Good luck today.

    Society of the Snow - if you have seen “Alive” like I’m sure most of us have this will really just be a refresher of the story. I enjoyed it and it’s worth the watch.

    Came on here to post this.  I don't recall much about Alive other than the overall plot.  This movie - geesh.  I like to think I'm tough enough to survive some things, but I'll never be "1972 Uruguayan rugby team stranded in the Andes" tough.

    Spoiler

    I know they really didn't have a choice, but they apparently ate the flesh raw.  🤑

    Dallas is within like 60 total yards of gb. There might be time enough to surpass them if they have a give up last possession.  Would be a great stat to accompany the final score. 

    Reminds me of those back-to-back losses to KState in the late 90's.  Doubled their yardage; lost by double digits in both.

    Packers - Cowboys. The Bart Starr QB sneak on 3rd down. My sister’s father in law was the guy they handed it to on 1st and 2nd down. 

    Fuck that guy too.

  7. I bitch a lot, but I'm an incredibly loyal fan.  I was born into the Dallas teams; picked up Texas on my own.  I would never, ever root for another team.  This is the first time I'm seriously considering just giving up on a team.  It's just so predictable and bad.  Even if Jerry dies, his son is just as fucking dumb.

    I don't understand why guys wear earrings and jewelry during a game. One good hit in the earhole and CD's loop earring is ripping right off. 

    I think Hill (Miami) was wearing one last night in KC ... with -30 windchill.  I feel as if that's a tad counterproductive to looking cool.
