  1. My downstairs is filled with about 6,000 CDs and 5,000 LPs. I will NEVER part with them. All of the CDs are in my digital library, which is now over 235,000 songs. I am also (slowly) ripping the obscure vinyl to digital, but it takes forever because I am such an anal-retentive dork and I de-click that shit one pop at a time. The upside is that the vinyl rips usually sound better than CD releases. HELP ME. I NEED A MUSICAL INTERVENTION.
  2. Got my Opening Day tix in a pre-sale yesterday, Cheapest ticket was $90 for the upper deck, and that includes upper deck in the outfield. Jesus. I bought 'em because, well, opening day. And I'm taking my eight-month-old son to his first baseball game! I know that means we'll miss a ton of it, but it will be worth it. No football games 'til he's much older.
  3. 2021 is not an ideal schedule, and I happily admit that. We obviously had an opening we had to fill, and I'm betting Del Conte tried to fill it with a bigger-name team. One problem: no P5 school is gonna give us a one-off home game on one year's notice. I'm sure he tried to work something out but eventually had to settle for Louisiana. Given our future schedule opponents post-2021, I wouldn't worry about this one-off.
  4. You know, there's an actiual website for Texas athletics that contains our future football schedules. Maybe you should go take a peek. If you already have but still somehow think that playing home and homes with Michigan, Alabama, Ohio State, and Georgia sucks-- well, I can't really help you.
  5. Derrick Johnson and no one else is close. That's not a knock on anyone else-- it's a testament to how fucking good DJ was. You could see it from game 1 his freshman year.
  6. God thiat was so embarrassing to watch. I know they had fouls to give but JESUS...
  7. Fucking hypocrites. Unbelievable.
  8. And yes, I remember this Rams-Vikings game. I didn't see it on TV because it was blacked out in L.A., so I had to listen to Dick Enberg on the radio. That was pretty normal back then-- Rams home games were rarely on local TV because the Coliseum held 100,000 people back then.
  9. The turf at the Coliseum looked perfect during the Rams' season finale against San Francisco, but it looks like it's raining in L.A. right now. Could be sloppy out there!
  10. I am so pumped for this game. I grew up in LA and lived and died with the Rams, but we moved to Texas in '79 and I became a Cowboys fan as well. Still rooted for the Rams, but that ended when they went to St. Louis. Well, now that they're back in LA (and often wearing those glorious '70s-'80s uniforms), I can't help but root for them again. I'll be pulling for Dallas tonight, but the whole idea of Rams-Cowboys in the playoffs IN THE L.A. MEMORIAL COLISEUM is just too much for my brain to process...
  11. She and her husband sit in front of me at home games. They are great people and have an adorable son named Texas. Texas was very excited to see his mom perform during the Alumni band show this year.
  12. RC Slocun would be proud of you, coach Petersen.
  13. Thank God. When your two favorite teams are Texas and UCLA, you might understand why I have hidden under a rock for most of this hoops season.
  14. I think you just answered your own question when you said, "I guess I really haven't paid attention."
  15. Yeah, after seeing this I decided to hold off on buying through the Foundation. I'd likely get uppers anyways so might as well spend less money.
  16. Jesus Christ, OU-- alternate uniforms? WHEN YOU"RE PLAYING TEXAS? Fuck you. Save that shit for Baylor.
  17. If we lose a close one to OU, I'd be shocked if the committee dropped us below WVU. We finished 2nd in the conference and they finished 4th. Sure, we'd have one more loss than they do but we will have played TWO more games (remember, their game against a decent NC State team was cancelled). Then again, this committee smokes crack so who knows? Let's just win and we won't have to sweat any of this.
  18. I 100% agreed with what McVay did on that second-to-last possession. He did NOT want to give the ball back to Mahomes with a minute left, which is what would have happened if they had run it three straight times. And who can blame him after watching this shit? He knew one first down on any play would essentially clinch it, and the yardage was there on the 2nd down play but the Chiefs defender made a nice play on the ball. In the end, the Chiefs got the ball back with about 6 extra seconds and a timeout that they wouldn't have had. Of course, it all worked out anyways but I liked the idea. Incredible game.
  19. I'm a lifelong Dodgers fan. My grandpa was the original radio engineer for Vin Scully & Jerry Doggett when the Dodgers moved to LA. My mother went out on a date with Sandy Koufax. I moved to Texas in 1979 and became a huge Ranger fan, and have followed both teams fanatically ever since. That means my teams have lost 4 of the last 9 World Series. Fuck me.
  20. Now sure, if they make the extra point it doesn't matter. But extra points aren''t automatic in the NFL anymore. If they miss it, it's an 8-point game and Green Bay has a chance. Gurley's play guaranteed a victory,
  21. WHAT? He goes down short of the goal, they take a knee on 1st down, and the Rams win. He scores, and you give Aaron Rodgers a full minute to possibly tie the score. That was a brilliant play. Gurley and Sean McVay give zero shits about fantasy numbers and point spreads. I'm pretty sure McVay called that time out to tell his team NOT to score if the Packers let them.
  22. Dodger Stadium is absolute perfection.
