  1. He should add in "quality losses" too.
  2. "10-2 We upset Notre Dame and tu We lose to LSU Upset late in the season at home to SC In the CFB playoffs"
  3. I love this sauce and go through a bottle every couple months. It can be tough to find, but currently 3-pack on amazon is like $16. It's not has hot as a habanero sauce, but the flavor is amazing. I'll eat it on just about anything, sometimes just covering a cracker or a chip with it.
  4. Bruin, here are a few things I'd suggest that haven't been mentioned yet: Bottleworks just northeast of downtown on Mass Ave is a cool revamped area repurposing the Coke bottling factory. There's one place there called the Garage that has a dozen or more food options. There are other cool bar and restaurant options up that area, too. Good place to walk around. Depending on age of your son, the Indianapolis Children's Museum is the largest in the nation. Lots of good exhibits and stuff to do. If he's a bit older and y'all are into history the Indiana State Museum is a good place, plus you can get your parking validated when you go in the museum and only pay $4 to park in downtown. Indianapolis has the most war memorials of any city in the nation other than DC. The best one is the Indiana War Memorial & Museum just north of downtown. Amazing history and a collection you could take hours exploring; it's also a really cool building. I'd prioritize the War Memorial over the State Museum. Hotels - other than the previously mentioned JW, my favorite hotels in downtown are Bottleworks Hotel and also the Alexander. Not to discredit St Elmo's but there are a good number of downtown restaurants that are significantly better than StE. If y'all have never had the shrimp cocktail, go to StE's partner restaurant next door - Harry & Izzy's , sit at the bar and order a couple drinks and the shrimp. Bluebeard - $1 oysters on Sundays. Livery - my favorite place Favorite dishes: Tuna tostada, watermelon aguachile salad, skirt steak. Beholder Vida Milktooth If you want a good breaded pork tenderloin sandwich, go 15 mins north of downtown, there are two in Broad Ripple: The Pawn Shop - a true dive bar, loin is only $7. My favorite tenderloin in the city. Plump's Last Shot - lots of old basketball memoribilia on the walls, a cool history of high school and college basketball in the Hoosier state. There is no good Italian place in town, but we do have some really good pizza, surprisingly. On Mass Ave there is Goodfellas (NY style). Portnoy gave it an 8.2 in his review. Just outside downtown is Sam's Square Pie that does Detroit style and is absolutely fantastic. Futuro, also just outside downtown offers both Detroit style and Chicago tavern style. Get the tavern style there and the Detroit at Sam's. If you have the coin to pop on the Indy Car ridealong experience... there really is nothing else like it. I've gotten to do the Nascar experience at Texas Motor Speedway and drive the car, and it doesn't hold a candle to going 200mph flat out at Indy, even if you are just the passenger in a 2-seater. The museum was recently completely redone (its in the infield) and it is pretty awesome. Let me know if you have any other specific questions or want any other recs.
  5. His security job experience could explain access to tactical gear and the car. What a fucked day.
  6. they did say it had the red and blue lights - but don't think if they've said it was marked or not.
  7. manifesto recovered from car with a list of many other lawmakers if i just understood the PD spokesman correctly.
  8. At least Cam brought Blinn a national title.
  9. - Why the fuck did you put Gorgeous George into a bare-knuckle boxing match two days before he had to fight The Bomber? - He was half his size. I didn't expect him to get hurt. - You put the man into a bare-knuckle boxing match. What the fuck did you expect? A grease-down and a shiatsu? - Who took the jam out of your doughnut? - You took the fucking jam out of my doughnut, Tommy. You did. - You said get a good deal. - I fail to recognize the correlation between losing 10 grand, hospitalizing Gorgeous, and a good deal.
  10. Two posts back-to-back that sum up so much of the unwarranted fuckery that goes on in aggy minds of a certain age that makes them think they are god's gift to cfb.
  11. tamu's ban on drag shows was just overturned. i am sure texags is just pleased as peaches... well the yell leaders might actually be.
  12. 100%. My wife repays me by giving me a couple hours reprieve to take a quick nap when driving long trips. And while on any trip - whether we drive or fly - she agrees to not question any plans or restaurant reservations I make.
  13. Potential Jonestown looking scene the next morning, I suspect.
  14. My thought was that aggy had already pissed away their chances of winning (they were one of the 4 or 5 teams being seriously considered for the team title) and took out pig in spite, allowing USC to get their first title since (holy shit) 1972.
  15. Aggy been known to pimp out more than just their trucks...
  16. No kidding. Unless they change the rule somehow we will never get a play as spectacular as this ever again:
  17. I think you mean salet.
  18. Allsup's fried burritos - if I had to guess what he was funneling down his gullet.
  19. Just like a chimpanzee.
  20. Taking the family to Italy this summer. Me, Mrs, and the boys (15 and 8). My thought after reading the first page of this thread and a few travel blogs I enjoy is to fly into Milan, rent a car, and road trip south, flying home from Rome. 10 nights. I haven't been to Italy since 2005 and reading just the first page of this thread has me feeling overwhelmed. There isn't a small countryside city I wouldn't want to explore, an amazing restaurant I wouldn't want to eat at, or a church or museum I wouldn't go inside and look at. So, I have to make a detailed trip plan so we don't muck things up. I have Rome covered and this thread seems to have a ton about Rome. But everything before those last 3 days is up in the air. I am I making a good or bad choice to consider renting a car and driving rather than train? I do plan to read all 30 pages of this thread and take some notes.
  21. This is easily one of the most common posts on this thread (not complaining). But why do so many women think this is a logical approach to heating a house quicker. Do they think it's like adding more logs to a fire to burn bigger and it will heat more/faster if we demand more? Yup. 65 here in our house. 62 at night.
  22. ***meant to edit my last post, not post again*** I've reached the point of not giving a fuck. Born '83. Some of my best childhood memories are Cowboy victories, Superbowls, and Thanksgiving turkey shared with family at tailgates in the Texas Stadium parking lot. But fuck 'em. I'm done. My 14 year old son tapped out after this year and so have I. I will cheer for them, but I won't give a fuck win or lose.
