    Holy fuck kill it with fire. 
    Also - Chad is beyond a fucking beating running his solo show. Not only is he a dumbass he's started being super whiney and condescending about Texas football. I feel like he sees the writing on the wall and is afraid that we're about to start punishing motherfuckers on the regular right before we jump into the SEC. 
    He thought No Doubt was fucking Brittney Spears the other day. 

    Sure, but he's a "music snob". He's never heard of the band Phoenix either. It's not like they are obscure.

    This is what really turns me off on that show. I can deal with the "crap bag", the aggyness brimming under the surface of each football take, even the wrestling/UFC he brings up. But I CANNOT deal with his just pitiful knowledge of music when the tries to guess the band or artist the producer plays as the show comes back from commercials. It's just horrible and he should be god damned ashamed.  Then, he doubles down and calls himself a "music" snob.  I just can't handle it and for that reason, I'm out.

  2. I've never understood why the 9.95 "media" goes so freaking batshit crazy over the depth chart.  If Sark doesn't want to put one out, that's his damn choice. I can just see Brian Davis furiously typing up a piece right now lamenting that he does not a have a DEPTH CHART!

  3. However it went down, it as time to shake up show during the 12-3 window.  Trey seemed like a good guy. He was a little to judgmental for my taste. Chad is OK, but I can only take so much "crap bag", uniform color discussion and wrestling.  For a so called "music snob", he didn't know shit about shit unless it was Pantera.

    Well... when it happened to us, it wasn't exactly a freak injury, and it wasn't the first time he got hurt in the same spot - I believe he had the "stinger", or whatever they call it. I think someone said it had happened to him a couple of times at Jim Ned, I know it happened to him as a frosh, playing at KSU, and early in the game, too, as he scored our first TD. That one led to a series of unfortunate occurrences: Jevan Snead, a true frosh, played the rest of the game, and they put upp another five TDs... but the D failed and we lost 45-42. Fuck You, Pay Me Brown apparently blamed Snead, and a couple of weeks later, on a cold and very windy day at DKR, Brown started McCoy. McCoy was clearly showing problems with the shoulder, couldn't throw for shit, and was in the midst of a bout with flu. Snead stood next to Brown the whole game, watching McCoy flounder. A&M scored early and led 6-0 until Jamaal scored in the third and we made our XP and led  7-6. A&M scored mid-Q4 and missed their XP again, but led 12-7. With about a minute left, an aggy McCoy flailed until the next to last play enduring hit him late late late so dirty that he was ejected. I believe that was a dead ball, and the play had resulted in a turnover on downs although aggy got 15 yards penalty. We held, used all three timeouts, and got the ball back with under a minute left. McCoy then took another blind-side hit as he was throwing one last pass. It was helmet to helmet, under the jaw but the refs threw no flags for reasons never addressed.  It was ten or fifteen minutes before he was taken off the field on a cart - straight to Breckenridge Hospital. After hours of tests, they finally decided it was the same stinger injury, obviously never healed. Finally FUPM Brown put Snead in the game, with just seconds on the clock; Snead basically Hail Mary'ed it as far as he could up into the winds, and someone in Maroon intercepted. Clock ran out. Game.

    We played Iowa in the 'Dome and won by two points, with McCoy taking every snap. Snead told FUPM to stick it up his ass and moved on - I think to Ole Miss. He started there - not great, but not bad. Had he stayed, he would have at least known where his helmet was when McCoy went down against Bama. 

    Maybe it'll happen again, but to the other team this time. 

    Was this the game where Limas Sweed was called for a BS offensive pass interference penalty on a jump ball he caught in the endzone?  I believe we ended up not scoring on that drive that probably would have won us that game.  I think I have the game right, but it's been a long time.

    Man, the very last thing I care about is # of sellouts or how the marketing guys calculate it.

    If we're routinely at ~ 10K fans per game and the panels make it louder, great.  If we see evidence that we could sell more seats and it makes sense, go for it.  Hell, they might be able to open up PART of the upper deck (say straddling center court) and go to 13K or whatever and still keep the acoustic benefits of the panels behind the baskets.

  6. I just like that the designers thought it through and made this an option.  The flexibility built into the design of the Moody is certainly a big deal.  Big concert? Open up the upper level for more fans.  Smaller show? close the upper level off for great sound.  Hoops - let's start small, but have the option to go big!

    This is the seating map for this show.

    Is none of the upper level open for basketball? That can't be right. 

    For basketball, none of the upper level seats will be open.  The large white panels will be brought down to cover them up. Only the lower level and club seats will be used for the games.  I suppose eventually, those seats might be opened up for hoops if we were to host some NCAA games, but for now, only lower level seats are available.  I also suppose they could open up the upper level for select games, but a strategy for the sales of those seats would have to be figured out to keep them in Texas fans' hands.

  8. I got an email from the AD telling me I had made the cut to order season tickets.  I thought about it for 5 seconds and pulled the trigger on two.  Donation requirement was $250/seat.  I may or may not keep them after this year, but I thought I'd give it a shot to be in there for the first season of the Moody. Not a bad seat in the house. Plus, the team will actually be pretty damn good.  Gonzaga, Creighton, KU, BU, Tech are all games that should be rocking in new arena.

    i must've caught the wrong jack white tour. saw him at COTA a couple years ago and it was mediocre at best. very lackadaisical performance.

    I was at that show as well.  And, you aren't totally wrong.  I thought last night's show was much better than the one out at COTA.

  10. A Jack White show is loud, non stop, raucous, energetic and I'll say it again, loud.  In other words, its a perfect rock show.  Last night was no exception. His backing band was as tight as could be, and Jack is a damn lead guitar beast.  It was a good crowd too.  The upper deck was closed off and the entire lower bowl was pretty much filled up. Damn good show.

  11.  Is he getting his shit done?  Is he doing good work?  If the answer is "yes" to both, then maybe pull him aside and have a nice little chat.  If he is falling behind and missing deadlines or producing bad work, then I think you may have something for his immediate supervisor.  Bring in HR if it really gets bad.

  12. Finished the show last week. It was a wild ride to the end, but I'm glad we stayed on it.  The use of John Prine's "Angel from Montgomery" is about as perfect as I've ever seen/heard in a show.
