  1. Just a random reminder that Spring Game performances don’t mean shit and never have and all those that claimed MM might be better than Quinn after the last one should be kicked in the balls.
  2. It’s weird to randomly scroll this page and and land on a pic my childhood eye doctor next to Ricky.
  3. Nederland kicks ass. Nobody’s comparing it to Breck but if you want to be an hour or less from Denver, have bad ass mountain biking right out your back door and a small mountain to snowboard on that won’t be overrun by Texans then it’s a fine spot. If you want tourists and souvenir shops, 5-star restaurants, and resorts full of out of towners it’s not for you. And Boulder is half an hour away if you need city shit.
  4. Goddammit, if you’re about to put Nederland on blast we’re gonna have issues. I need that place to stay under the radar and affordable for a couple more years.
  5. That’s the thing. In that party you either get steely resolve or unity, it’s not possible to have both. You either have principles with a splintered party full of chaos or you have a united party with a complete lack of moral character. “That’s some catch, that Catch 22.”
  6. Our back up receivers are better than our starting DBs. And yes, blind hope pretty much. Nobody knows what to expect and anyone who claims to is just manufacturing some shit to believe. Nothing wrong with that, but for me it’s just general optimism not based on much.
  7. I’m optimistic about Maalik and the next few games, but not because of any Spring Game footage. Those passes were thrown against the backups on a pass defense that currently ranks 62nd in the country. You can’t infer a damned thing from that.
  8. Hopefully Maalik reads this thread so he knows what to do.
  9. My favorite posts are the ones that take one post and label it as collectively from “Surly” and then take a different post with the opposite opinion from a completely different poster and label it also from “Surly” as if they never expected different takes from a group of 10,000 or whatever assholes.
  10. Them doing well in the pros helps, but us being emotionally invested in their pro careers doesn’t. I’m in the “Wish them well and smile if I noticed they are doing good things” camp but I’m not actively following any of them and don’t care too much. Of course I feel the same about recruiting. I want us to have good players but not to the point I want to follow it and keep track of that shit.
  11. Not disagreeing with you, but it’s nothing new. It’s been happening for hundreds of years.
  12. I’ve been watching prices all day on FB marketplace, Nextdoor, and the official Verified Resale. Most of the stuff on Marketplace is obvious scammers, brokers, or if legit it goes quick. The Verified Resale tickets through the ACL website are still very much available. Mostly the prices are high, but if you refresh it at the right time a lower priced one comes in eventually. Most of today the 3-day GA pass hovered from $450-$500. About an hour ago a random one popped up at $320 (plus some bullshit fees) and I snagged it. It’s another line to wait in at Will Call tomorrow but at least you know it’s legit and don’t have to go meet someone and hope to not wake up in a bathtub afterward with one less kidney.
  13. It’s impressive that she can outrun Kyler Murray, even if only for a block or two.
  14. The New York Times Daily podcast Did an episode about this not long ago. You’re right, we’re still feeling the effects of Reagan firing them all. And if they hired as many as they could right now, and trained them at the normal rate of training, it would still take decades before they get to full strength.
  15. This is the most important line of the article. It’s not an Austin problem, it’s an everywhere problem. There is a shortage of controllers and the ones we have are overworked. We need more controllers and they need the pay and work rules to attract and retain them.
  16. Yeah, that tired joke gets made on the PA on at least half the flights every day. Not making eye contact and leaving a bag on the seat has been SOP for just about everyone for many years.
  17. That’s not Jesus. That’s James Hetfield in the 80’s.
  18. I thought this was gonna be a story about the car detailer with the tits out.
  19. So your girlfriend rolls a Honda…
  20. Haven’t thought of that movie in a long time. There’s only one thing I remember about it. Well three, technically.
  21. Now that’s a smooth move right there. Perfectly subtle and almost unnoticeable.
