  1. A few yrs ago, ESPN seemed to manage a curated calendar of high profile events. https://espn.calreplyapp.com/espn-daily-calendar The calendar would include the major events across multiple sports (e.g. Super Bowl, Indy 500, Kentucky Derby, Masters, Bowl games etc) and then on a daily basis they would update the calendar with upcoming, high profile NFL, CFB, CBB, NBA, MLB etc match ups - usually only selecting maximum of 3-4/day so your calendar remained manageable. It was a nice complement to the individual team calendars you can subscribe to. They haven't updated this calendar in a few years. Is there any similar service out there?
  2. A buddy is unable to make the trip, so I am looking to help sell his 3 day General Admission wristband for the race this weekend. The wristband includes access to the 21 Pilots (Fri) and Billy Joel (Sat) concerts. No parking or shuttle passes included - just the three day GA wristband. I'm flying in and should be arriving downtown a little after noon on Friday. I can deliver the wristband downtown or at COTA after I arrive Fri afternoon. The resale sites are showing the 3 day GA tickets going for ~$500 with fees and all. Since I am unable to deliver until Fri afternoon and prefer to do the exchange either downtown or at COTA, I'll offer $350... yes, I know I pronounced 350 wrong.
  3. This. It's entertaining and more bearable. Any word if they're doing it for the championship game?
  4. You guys are having your fun, but the joke's on you. As we speak, someone is finishing up a 500 word letter extolling the game day environment at CS. I'm sure pure class and academic superiority will be mentioned. Maybe an amazing story of selflessness... such as helping an elderly lady cross a road... maybe an organ donation at a tailgate... We'll have to wait and see. I was told the registrar's office ran out of spring semester application forms this afternoon. SECSECSEC compliments > SECSECSEC wins
  5. I think he's referring to the Hook 'em costumed mascot vs Bevo the live mascot. Putting on a Bevo head would be very heavy and, more importantly, would not be a good day for Bevo.
  6. I liked Chris Spielman as a color guy, but don't think he's doing college anymore. Beyond CFB: I don't really follow NHL aside from when the playoffs come around, but I'll always listen for a bit if Doc Emrick is PbPing. I grew up with Bob Uecker on the radio. I wish everyone could experience him broadcasting for their team.
  7. BLT and Rare are my favorites in that area
  8. Boarding an AA flight and there’s some sticker on the outside of the a/c next to the door that says “Apex 5 Star Airline” Guy behind me says to his friend: must have been out of ten stars
  9. Some evidence exists of vocal fry becoming more common in the speech of young female speakers of American English in the early 21st century,[4][5][6][7][8] but its frequency's extent and significance are disputed.[9][10] Researcher Ikuko Patricia Yuasa suggests that the tendency is a product of young women trying to infuse their speech with gravitas by means of reaching for the male register and found that "college-age Americans [...] perceive female creaky voice as hesitant, nonaggressive, and informal but also educated, urban-oriented, and upwardly mobile."[4] http:// https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_fry_register
  10. Vocal fry is often an attempt to artificially deepen one's voice to be taken more seriously. Opposite outcome is usually the case.
  11. Agreed - I try to avoid the touristy spots/chains, though some chains are serviceable. I've been in that area once in similar circumstances (not much time available to drive around), so trying to do my homework this time. I think I stopped in at Bodacious BBQ last time. I'd put it in the not bad range; acceptable for repeats, but not necessarily a place I feel the need to go back to. Wondering if there are better options.
  12. As do I. And I admire your avatar/username
  13. People who hurry or jog across a crosswalk when they see they're holding up a turning car.
  14. Any dining recommendations within 15 or so mins of Arlington / AT&T stadium area? BBQ, TexMex, or otherwise. Need something sit-down and open for dinner. Work travel with long days anticipated, so trying to avoid driving into Dallas or Fort Worth.
  15. The "your payment is due in a couple days" reminder email even though you scheduled the payment when the first email came in three weeks earlier.
  16. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheProperPeople/videos They sneak into abandoned buildings. A bunch of good quality videos of interesting places.
  17. https://www.bloombergquint.com/onweb/hbo-s-anti-netflix-strategy-was-richard-plepler-now-he-s-leaving#gs.KZLAze5z I don't see the quantity over quality model being successful in the long run as technology is enabling anyone to put out content.
  18. "Texas tries to outdo Florida" Give it a few days. Florida: Hold my beer
  19. What's the name of the sub Saharan African football team he'll be playing for now?
  20. Can somebody post the Quandre in the butter pool pic? He warrants consideration.
