  1. This. It was widely reported that he and his family wanted him to redshirt. But even if that weren’t the case, assuming we get 3 years out of him (or 2… whatever), starting the clock on those years when he’s 19 and been in the program a year is better for us and for him.
  2. Anyone bitching about any godamn thing tonight can get fucked. Enjoy this shit you miserable fucks.
  3. This is exactly what they expect you to do. They don’t usually actually give a shit if you return to your seat or not, but they are required by federal regs to inform you that the seat belt sign is on and that you shouldn’t be up. What you do after being informed of that is up to you. Politely saying, “I know” and going to the lav anyway won’t get you much if any blowback except from the occasional power hungry militant stew. The only time it’s an issue is taxiing, which will result in the aircraft being stopped until you sit back down. You’d be shocked to know how common the “soiled seat cover” call to maintenance is.
  4. Jesus could you be any more melodramatic? It’s a discussion about football fans. This shit is an entertainment sideshow in all our lives. None of it really matters all that much. But still, fuck Tech and fuck that shithole Lubbock.
  5. Fair enough, I stand corrected. I was at that game too. But doing it after the Big 12 game this year would be full aggie douche.
  6. No. It will still be stupid. You can’t apply context, sarcasm, innuendo, or anything else to an SEC chant. Any SEC chant is as dull-witted as every SEC chant.
  7. When the obituary mentions crossing the rainbow bridge some of the neighbors are going to tell the family they’re sorry their dogs died.
  8. There is also a non-vest full jacket version of that. Bought it for my kid last winter.
  9. When the time comes your kid might like the simplicity of a camper shell instead of hauling a trailer everywhere. This is my set up, but I have the longbed. The drawer under the mattress runs the full 6’2” length of the bed. I have a second plank I can bring along to span the rest of the way across and make it a double bed when needed. I’ve only had the truck a couple of months but I’ve spent 6 nights in it so far. Best set up I’ve had. I was in a cruiser with a roof top tent before this. I like this much better.
  10. They likely wouldn’t have fucked over the other 150 passengers to hold the flight for you anyway. It happens but usually only when it’s a lot more than one party.
  11. Nice! Where in Moab is that? I know your earlier post showed Island In the Sky. Is this the same place? Is that up near Dead Horse State Park? Capt Ahab is my favorite trail out there. It’s big chunky workout but very rewarding.
  12. I have some prime real estate I’d like to sell you.
  13. Stockton was the kicker who kicked the game winner against the aggies in 98. Ricky’srecord-breaking game. He’s an ortho specializing in feet now.
  14. I switched to UPS after FedEx lost my Wilson volleyball years ago.
  15. Christmas is for kids. I don’t give or receive gifts from other adults. In my family everyone has a charity of choice and we all donate to each other’s charities whatever you would have spent on a gift. Before we came up with that system a few years ago I told them all that if they buy me anything they are going to have to take ownership of some random item from my house to make room for whatever item they gave me that I would never bought for myself. Give me another bbq thermometer and I’m giving you my old used spatula. Give me a coffee table book and I’m sending your ass home with that lamp I regret buying a few years ago. From my own kids I only ask for experiences, even something simple and cheap like movie tickets for us to see something together or a gift card to a nice restaurant for us to all use together.
  16. Maybe. Some of those names that would be ahead of him this year would not have been mentioned in the same conversation a year ago. Some of those guys have played their way into the conversation this year. The same thing will happen next year with some names that we’re not talking about yet.
  17. Agreed completely, which makes the post I quoted sound even dumber.
  18. So far Arch is good enough to not unseat a bad Malik Murphy. I trust the potential is there and he’ll be ready when his time comes but to say he should be starting next year based on zero experience is silly.
  19. Good choices on all that. Hopefully the evening you’re at McDonald Observatory is a star party night. Ernst Tinaja is very cool. I’m surprised it doesn’t get more attention compared to some of the other hikes. I guess because not everyone can get to it. I wouldn’t take a Honda Civic down there or anything like that but any truck with a little bit of height should do fine. I took my old 2wd Tacoma down there a few years ago. And if you’re down there for that hike you’re not far from the Boquillas border crossing, the boat ferry and horse ride into town for lunch is a nice way to spend the afternoon.
  20. Nobody ever stole a blimp on Paco’s watch.

    Georgia needed late game heroics to beat Missouri last week. Ohio State is pretty solid though.

    Somebody name one of these current mistake-free teams who play to their full potential every game.

    9-1

    There’s not a single team in the nation whose fanbase doesn’t think their coach has mismanaged a few games that were closer than they should have been. Sarks got plenty of room for improvement but so does everyone else. Ohio state has a couple single digit wins. Geargia almost lost to Mizzou and had close games against Auburn and South Carolina. Florida State barely escaped Boston College, Clemson, and Miami. Washington struggled against Utah. Oregon almost lost to Tech. None of that is an excuse for Sark, but on the national scene our struggles don’t stand out at all. It’s the same everywhere. Michigan is about the only team actually kicking the shit out of everybody and I wouldn’t trade Sark for Harbaugh. Our team today would kick the shit out of every Texas team since Colt last played. We aren’t perfect but I’m happy.
