    Yeah, but refs don’t flag unwritten rules. 

    Also what did herman do there that gundy didn’t do, that he caught a flag?  

    I get it.  I'm not saying it's a great call by the ref, but you can make a good argument for throwing that flag.  Every game that ends with a kneel can't have a handful of players yapping like that and losing their temper.  It creates a dangerous situation for everyone.  On the next snap, one of those OL might make the executive decision to chop the knees of a defender who's just standing up and going at 1/4 speed at the snap.  

     

  2. Yeah, I think trying to find a loophole that allows you to keep cheering for the team that condones the murder of journalists is deplorable, but at least Johnny Sack kept his same user name and avatar from the old site ... unlike a lot of holocaust deniers and pedophile apologists (you know who you are).

  3. Both sides!

    What I mean by that:   One side of the GOP - the president himself - offers to pay legal fees for those who attack protesters, makes excuses for a Nazi murderer, repeatedly identifies CNN as “the enemy” to his angry crowds, suggests that gun owners might assassinate his opponent, leads chants to imprison political rivals, and leads wild, lusty cheers for a politician who assaulted a reporter. 

    While other sides of the GOP machinery (press secretary and Fox News) ignore ALL those actions and call for civility.  

  4. Many years ago, I had just moved back to Austin, and I needed to find a piano tuner for my grand piano.  A musician buddy of mine had given me a name and phone number of his tuning guy, and I took that scrap of paper home and tossed it on my desk.

    A few weeks later, I was having one of those days where you make up your mind to be productive and get the clutter off your desk.  I had just finished writing checks and paying bills, and I come across this phone number.  I call him, and as the phone is ringing, I start walking with the handful of stamped letters to leave in my mailbox (the mailboxes in that neighborhood were all at the street).  

    So the guy answers, and I tell him I need to get my piano tuned.  He says, "OK, I got my appointment book.  Let's get your info.  Name?  Address?"  And I tell him, "XX08 So-and-so Drive."  And with this incredulous tone of voice, he asks me to repeat my address back a couple more times.  Then he goes, "I'm at XX07."  

    By this time, I've gotten to the mailbox with my mail, and I look across the street and there's the guy in my neighbor's driveway talking on *his* cell phone and looking over at me.  

    We were about 50 feet away from each other.  

    And this was in south Austin, and the piano tuner lived in Round Rock.

  5. We're in a survive-and-advance mode.  We've gone to final possession with 4 mediocre teams (Baylor, Tulsa, KSU, Maryland), and we're 3-1 in those games.  We've also got a few respectable wins.

    We don't deserve #7.  At the same time, I'd have a hard time putting 10 teams ahead of us based on everybody's resume.  

    Weird year.

    If we can survive-and-advance against a mediocre Oklahoma State, we'll get a home game vs WVU as a top-5 team.  We probably have another loss in us, but so do OU and WVU, so we're in better shape than anyone in our league right now.

    The bear is garbage. Doesn't he have a phone number with his voice recorded on it somewhere with his hot picks?  Who gives a bleep.

    He's not likable, entertaining, insightful, or correct.  Totally fucking pointless.

    That’s a great looking guitar.  I’ve been “watching” one in Reverb for a while.  Maybe one night I’ll have a cocktail and do something reckless.
