  1. I wish they’d license to whomever will give them money. Still no Vineyard Vines or Southern Tide polos. If we win the national championship, I might Texas gear for every single day of the rodeo.
  2. Yep, every Peter Millar shirt fits like how you described. I believe they stock most of the UT Golf gear. The Co-op should own this space, but they took the Nike money and regarded statues and haven’t looked back. We’re back to the 90’s where the UT merchandise market is very segmented. Might as well get Reebok involved again.
  3. I hope when the bowl contracts get reworked, CBS picks up more bowls and tells Danny to shut the fuck up. It’s easy to shoot hot takes from the hip when CBS’ best bowl is the Sun Bowl. ESPN would publicly execute Danny for that take if he was in their employ.
  4. This should take the bloom off of Norvell's rose. Sonny Dykes is a good coach ... but he lost to Georiga by 58 points.
  5. Bud Elliott going with opt out excuse and live updating the depth chart. Yep, Georgia didn't have any opt outs or transfers. Obviously playing at full strength given the score. Everybody comes from somewhere, but Kanell and Elliott are fans. They have shown zero interest in ever being impartial about Florida State.
  6. What a bitch. Kanell going with the FSU didn't want to be there + timeless classic "the bowl system is broken" + humble bragging on his mountain mansion.
  7. Bud Elliott and Kanell are going to be fun on Tuesday if Texas and Bama win. It'll be a lot of well we were right at the time. Undefeated Power 5 champion, blah, blah, blah. Team was crushed they didn't make the playoffs. The committee did this to them not Georgia.
  8. Pretty shitty buy in at Florida if they couldn't talk Rodemaker into playing. The guy has been there 4 years, and they can't talk him into making his second start?! It appears that Norvell wasn't rolling the dice on a split national championship. He just wanted to hang his head and pout.
  9. Exactly what I was expecting when Beck announced he was going to play.
  10. I honestly wouldn't buy UT gear at Academy. The Co Op, Nike Store, UT Golf Club Pro Shop, Fanatics Team Store, and Peter Millar all have better stuff. Texas Standard and Rhoback have some cool burn orange shirts. I only really shop at Academy if I need a cheap lawn chair or cooler.
  11. Is Payton in the portal? He'd be my top choice at EDGE.
  12. Pretty decent chance that Michigan fans started the fOSU Catapult leak rumors. It's exactly what they did when the sign stealing scandal was breaking. Now Saban is telling the team to ditch the app and their iPads before their game with... Michigan. Michigan losing a game this year would have prevented many CFP headaches.
  13. Correct. I've never seen so much Coug High gear in my entire life. That includes the Coug High book store. There are corporate guidelines for displays, but I'm sure the manager has input and control of it.
  14. Academy is the Official Sporting Goods Retailer of the SEC. Their HQ is in Katy. aggy is the only Texas team in the SEC right now. You can do the math. https://corporate.academy.com/academy-sports-outdoors-announces-multimedia-sponsorship-with-espn-and-sec/index.html
  15. You gotta respect Kiffin committing to the Juice bit. He got the dog as a chick magnet, but then the dog becomes a viral sensation with a Twitter/X account. Now Juice is on the sidelines for every game.
  16. Correct. Sherriff Roy is going to get notified if there's a major accident in his county. A routine accident report at the hospital would reveal it's Nadine within minutes.
  17. I'm buying based on the betting trends and this: https://apnews.com/article/rose-bowl-michigan-alabama-sign-stealing-9ba8c35708811bbad47448a212db4a73
  18. I'm impressed that any aggy has seen The Godfather. I'm also impressed that he liked the movie so much that he chose a minor character to be his avatar.
  19. Season 7 played all the hits, but it dragged in the middle. I'm sorry, I don't give a shit about Chuck and Wendy's kid passing a driving test. They spent what, 1.5 episodes in the final season on the subject. Why? I really liked The Owl episode. That's classic Billions. Wealth + exclusivity porn.
  20. Have any of you NYC residents eaten at Rao's? If so, please describe the experience. From what I've gathered, it's impossible to get a table there.
  21. Looks like they close at around 6pm on Friday and Saturday. The sun usually goes down around 520-530 in the winter. Could be a nice little evening enjoying the sunset.
  22. I’ve spent 6+ years trying to figure this shit out. I think you made the right call, but ran into some bad luck. My understanding is the flagship stores get the highly allocated bottles first and then distribute to smaller stores. If their best customers (rich guys that buy a lot of wine) shop primarily at West U or Memorial, they’ll send their bottles to them so it’s more convenient. Specs this year, well they’re having a weird year. They did switch Buffalo Trace distributors at the beginning of 2023, and I think that’s driving a lot of it. They kept Republic as their Heaven Hill distributor, and I’ve see no drop off. Tremendous drop off on the BT side. I’m happy for you. Hopefully I get a call today.
  23. It’s a beautiful property. I need to check it out in cold weather.
  24. I stayed in Arlington on our last DC run. No liquor stores anywhere in the city. Whole Foods and Trader Joe's were the only places selling wine. I couldn't even order a Drizzly for booze. The only liquor stores were hole in the wall spots in DC. Truly bizarre.
