  1. HSB is a bit out there, and to be courted by the University, I just don't believe they'd choose that venue. They'd accommodate him at the University AT&T venue across from Moncrief, unless that's been vacated. Campus has been practically closed for a month. Play at ACC or UTGC, simple. Holy shit, it's fucking bizarre to remind myself of the riches this University has to lure any BSD down to Austin... and we got a narcissist for $32M+, WTF.
  2. GG KXAN graphic guy, he got the memo from the University and honored their changes for [interim] head coach ahead of the weekend, for which it was requested.
  3. Now I realize this was likely in response to the Russell Westbrook trade.
  4. This is a fine week for Ohio State fans to also discover their two remaining conference games are likely canceled due to Covid. List of things not CFP eligible: Tom Herman Ohio State
  5. One of them is really fixed on OU sports, pretty sure it's the Ticket. There was another thread here not long ago with DFW posters recalling their slander of the team during Mack's years, even when he won it all.
  6. Must be the Ticket then. Don't think I'm missing out on anything by not following DFW sports radio.
  7. Isn't 105.3 Norman-lite sports radio? Not a P1, don't listen to their schtick, fuck OU.
  8. Post anything remotely snarky and you'll get the whole SEC conference mouthbreathing contingent to neg you to oblivion. It's a shit venue where nobody knows shit anyhow and the entire group hinges on what/where ESPN's College GameDay is doing.
  9. Fuck Reddit, and especially fuck r/CFB. For anyone browsing this thread from there, go back to your groupthink handjob karma bullshit. Suck my bucknuts, too.
  10. Do you even Instagram, bro?
  11. Ironically, unfucking the parity, substandard officiating and illogical scheduling (round robin + CCG) of the B12 might be the most significant agenda a new coach should bring to the program.
  12. At least it was an easy fix and hopefully done on the automaker's dime. Also good job quickly identifying the issue and not ignoring it, as prolonged fuel dilution breaks down the base and friction modifiers in the oil. Did they complete an oil change over the service visit?
  13. +1, it's a problem around the conference, not unique to Texas. One of the first opportunities I'd like to see from an experienced HC take right to the Conference Head Office and Media to address, in spite the number of flags drawn on the field.
  14. They're bad enough that our shit team took them to 4 OTs in Dallas and on any one of our scoring possessions in OT, Turdle Tom could have gone for two, pushed it in and walked out with a W. They're also bad on the scale of strength/depth/starts compared to past OU rosters over the last decade. I wouldn't be nearly as concerned about our defense if we faced them again in Arlington-- it's that our offense has regressed into dertpitude and wouldn't put points on the board.
  15. And somehow, with Tom earning better recruiting classes than Lincoln over that same tenure.
  16. It's not as if their identity on offense is anything exotic, it's just coached/practiced well enough to make it plug-and-play. It works well in the B12 because officiating in this conference continues to promote the offense side of the ball over defense. The same system OU expects to win with (in-conference) gets its shit pushed in on the national stage when a sound defense keeps them honest.
  17. I'm suspecting the internal seals of the high-pressure fuel pump are allowing a bit of fuel to leak through its body and into the crankcase. Most HPFPs are cam-driven and I've read of this issue on VWs. Sorry for the late reply. Edit: to expand on this, on a return-less fuel system (common for DI), the fuel system remains pressurized all the way to the HPFP (~60PSI) even when the ignition is off. There could be a very small trickle of fuel seeping past the pump and into the crankcase while the engine is off, but is vaporized or pumped past when the engine is operating. My theory, anyway.
  18. Clueless dipshit or Aggy sock? I've squirmed uncomfortably for all but maybe two or three games in Herman's tenure. If the insular Austin media can make Tom squirm by raising a couple of uncomfortable questions, so be it. Nobody takes OBs for any source of authority anyhow. Edit: I miss PanchoChat.
  19. The B12 is the most limp-dicked conference in everything, from compliance, officiating, oversight, marketing, success, reputation, and to some degree, academics. This program should be able to go toe-to-toe with shrewd rule-bending, while, at the same time, telling Bowlsby he doesn't amount to shit and to go fuck himself. The only somewhat-successful HCs I can see understanding this are Cristobal and Freeze, and neither are available to us.
  20. Oh I know why that is, for a number of reasons. Doesn't imply that it's the only option, but also not out of the ballpark for a daily driver that's likely to see way more time on pavement than gravel.
  21. OP (looking at alternatives) mentioned Lexus. 4Runner (Trail) 9.6" of ground clearance 33-degree approach angle 26-degree departure angle 37.4-ft turning circle 270 hp @ 5600 rpm; 278 lb.-ft. @ 4400 5-speed automatic transmission (3.520; 2.040; 1.400; 1.000; 0.720) Reverse Ratio - 3.220 33.7:1 crawl ratio Track Width, Front - 63.2 Track Width, Rear - 63.2 Grand Cherokee (with QuadraLift air suspension) 10.6" of ground clearance 34.3-degree approach angle 23.1-degree breakover angle 29.3-degree departure angle 18.5-ft turning circle 360 hp @ 5,150 rpm; 390 lb.-ft. @ 4250 8-speed automatic transmission (4.69:1; 3.13:1; 2.10:1; 1.67:1; 1.28:1; 1.00:1; 0.84:1; 0.67:1) Reverse ratio - 3.30:1 44.1:1 crawl ratio Track Width, Front - 63.7 Track Width, Rear - 64.3 Now if I were solo or with a small group out there getting lost, I'd feel more confident in the 4Runner simply for its simplicity, ability to take on some really useful modifications, and its body-on-frame construction where the GC is a unibody platform.
  22. The 4Runner is absolutely not better off-road until modifications begin and it's complete dogshit on-road. We've also been over this but it's absurd to pay $42K for a powertrain and vehicle technology that was wasn't even considered 'new' to the brand more than a decade ago. Also, Lexus WTF, unless you're into AARP-things, a realtor or pharma rep. The prior-gen V8 GX is cool when lifted/modded to follow the Land Cruiser theme.
  23. Are you getting a deal on it? I'm thinking '21 is the last model year for the WK2, very very long in the tooth (from a chassis/architecture POV). I admire the little updates added to them year over year. The Harmon UConnect system is still among the best in its class for infotainment, the Summit has acoustic glass windshield and side windows, the 5.7 HEMI is finally refined and reliable, and you'll likely not be able to get another GC with a V8 again. I still want one, never bothered shopping hard enough for it. Don't need a pickup, it would do almost all the things I need it for. Make mine a Summit in Granite Crystal with that quilted Laguna leather.
  24. I'm fairly certain that was my first reply in CR, and was painted in perception of the conservative view, though we do need to reduce the cost of care before MFA can make any traction. And yes, we're already paying for someone else's "free" care.
  25. Paying for someone else's Free Shit® in exchange for declining quality of care, I'd imagine. The system is already broken. You have to shatter the racket the drug makers, oncology labs, mega-hospitals and insurance companies who drove our cost of healthcare at a level 145% higher than the OECD median. Healthcare spending now accounts for 18% of our GDP. Good luck busting that up, but I want to hear more about that, not just who's footing the bill.
