  1. It’s a worse version of Billions. Which had titties and better actors.
  2. What’s Urban supposed to say? He works for FOX and the last 2 national champions are in the Big Ten.
  3. I’m reluctant to share any Houston driving tips, but I feel that it’s always manageable if you give yourself enough time and there are no road closures. If 610 or one of the interstates is closed and you run into it, you are fucked and should just go home. I think many of the people bitching about Houston traffic live in the suburbs, commute during peak hours, don’t know the city well, and won’t drive fast enough to get around problems. If you don’t know back ways to get out of NRG, and Minute Maid/Toyota yet you’re behind help. I get why people with families live in the suburbs, but 45 minutes in no traffic just to get home is fucking crazy. My traffic complaints are : no one knows how to merge in this city, weekend traffic and turning right out of middle lanes. The latter is insanely dangerous, yet I see it often. If you drive defensively, treat it like a war and remain focused, you’ll be fine. Also, whenever possible drive early. Driving late doesn’t help much.
  4. Called earlier today, they are open.
  5. Given the balloons and banners, are they open finally?
  6. It’s been softball heavy all season. I believe they added the female host/softball expert this season, so it could be they’re focused on giving her stuff to do. Maybe it evens out eventually.
  7. Yeah Krennic shitting his pants v Vader was pretty great. I’m surprised he talked back to Tarkin in public.
  8. Ain’t no kinda about it. Mon is fine.
  9. I think Rally Cap is just a poorly produced/extremely low budget show. - Segment 1: softball. Maybe 30 seconds of highlights followed by 10 minutes of talking heads. - Segment 2: baseball. 30 seconds of m highlights. 10 minute interview with random baseball player. - Segment 3: more fucking softball. Interview with random softball player in her hotel room or in a boiler room. - Segment 4: baseball and softball previews. 90% of the segment is a graphic with the schedule and the 3 hosts talking over it. The Daily Texan could shoot a more compelling SEC baseball show on an iPhone for free.
  10. S2 E3 is the weirdest shit I have ever seen.
  11. Haha pretty awesome.
  12. Help me understand Rally Cap on SEC Network. 10 minutes+ in, and they haven’t said a word about Texas winning the conference this weekend. I’ve watched previous weeks and maybe 70% of the show is softball.
  13. It’s a good draft. Of course Glagg could be a generational player. Harper would be the first pick on almost every other draft. A lot of people think he’s a Cade Cunningham level prospect Tre and Fears should also be really good pros. The top 6 should a really good player. Unfortunately, the Rockets are not in top 6.
  14. Again, I’m trying to understand where George is coming from. I never said I agreed with him or that Bailey is a better player.
  15. It should be an interesting summer. Plenty of cast members with a much higher profile than Yang have been fired without explanation. Anything is possible.
  16. Wickline’s mother was a pediatrician. Surely, she understands this can’t be good for daughter. She needs to go back to her closet studio and make Tik-Tok videos again. She’s niche, let her do her thing elsewhere. I fear Lorne will keep the big cast to justify a big budget. The Hollywood podcasts think that’s the next big fight. Now the 50th is over, NBC will push to decrease costs. Lorne is basically autonomous, so best of luck to the Peacock accountants.
  17. Jesus. I was just trying to present the other side. Calm down.
  18. George isn’t completely off base. I’d like to see the full interview with an explanation. Flagg is probably Pippen. Pippen is a hall of famer, but he was never considered a franchise player. If George had said this and followed it up with I think Bailey has a better chance to become a franchise player, then sure that’s within the realm of a reasonable take. The Sixers will probably desperately try to the trade the 3rd pick, fail miserably, Bailey will develop into a perennial All Star, and Morey will continue his graft another decade.
  19. Kept it in the back at most Houston Spec’s locations until very recently. Starting seeing in the case the past few months. Specs Galleria is not a big store, and they allegedly put out 16 cases this weekend.
  20. I’m stunned they went 1-5 down the stretch. After winning the series against LSU, they had to think they were in. Then one of the worst teams in SEC history swept them at fucking home. The NIL hostage payoffs won’t save them again. There will be a mass exodus after the SEC Tournament.
  21. Wood is English, so he could give a shit about college football, but his wife is from here. Thank God, she’s not a red ass. A red ass aggy with a net worth of north of $7 billion would be a problem.
  22. Rumors out there that EHT Small Batch is going off the allocated list and will become a shelf fixture. I’ll sort of buy it. Some of the smaller Spec’s stores got 10+ cases yesterday.
  23. I’m about to speak blasphemy, but is the ending of R1 better if it ends on the beach instead of Vader kicking ass? The scene on the beach is so beautiful and emotional. I guess Gilroy didn’t want want us to do us like that. I remember sobbing in the IMAX during the beach scene, and then joyfully cheering during the Vader scene 30 seconds later. Quite a sequence. My wife still thinks I’m nuts.
  24. Pao’s in Lakeway is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the state. Are there any similar Mandarin style restaurants in Houston? Pao’s menu: https://paosmandarinhouse.kwickmenu.com
