  1. Probably the best car chase in decades. I’ll concede that.
  2. I can feel the surly flames at my heels, but I didn’t love it.
  3. Quarter pounder is a solid burger, but as with most things McDonald’s, they need some help. All the way, mustard on both sides of bun, drop the ketchup. Pick it up and grill some onions and jalapeños at home. Pairs nicely with a dry red.
  4. Hilarious. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/lane-kiffin-says-secs-choice-of-oklahoma-as-an-annual-opponent-for-ole-miss-is-really-disappointing-182727001.html
  5. The Prestige podcast touched on this. What’s the second half of show? Probably the mole hunt.
  6. Based on the texts, the eldest daughter seems to be having marital problems. I didn’t catch while watching it live. One of the recap podcasts pointed it out.
  7. Wait, wait, Golden Krust is good?! This could be a game changer. Seconded on Sarpino’s. It might be the only restaurant open past midnight in that area. Good pizza. MIA, Hermann Park is great. Memorial Park probably isn’t worth your time unless you want to see some Instahoes taking selfies. Good driving range.
  8. Same. I’m worried now.
  9. The older daughter for sure said it. Maybe during the dinner?
  10. Episode 2.
  11. I was curious as what the new guy hazing might look like and here it is. And as others have pointed out upthread, Texas home games were baked into our admittance into the conference. Meanwhile, OU continues to get a free ride.
  12. I think it’ll depend on how the season plays out, but Mateer needs to think about his medical redshirt + keeping the college NIL gravy train going. Medical redshirt = 30% or less of the teams games. He’s played 4 games of a 12 game schedule so he’s already right on the line. If it’s 8 weeks that would be the Bama game. If it’s 10 weeks that’s LSU. They’d have to be in the conference championship hunt to bring him for either game.
  13. Holiday’s ball handling is pretty rough. He reminds me an Astros prospect. He does everything pretty well, but lacks a critical skill to play his position at an above average level.
  14. The trailer kind of had a The Rocketeer vibe. It seems pretty intentional given the graphics/font. If that’s the case, there are certainly parallels but it’s an odd wagon to hitch on to. The Rocketeer was largely a flop and hasn’t enjoyed much of a cult classic following.
  15. I’m about 11 hours into Vineland. Based on the trailers, this is going to be a very loose adaptation. PTA is a better screenwriter than Thomas Pynchon. I don’t think anyone would argue otherwise. Again based on the trailers, I could see Leo and Del Toro’s characters in the first 3 hours of the book. It then jumps to a femme fatale ninja story with hippies and communes and The Man. The plan is to finish Vineland and roll up to the matinee showing on Friday.
  16. I couldn’t do on the Widow Jane 13. I read the small print, distilled in KY, IN and TN. To my knowledge Jack doesn’t contract distilled for anybody, so I assume it’s Dickel. No thanks. Picked up a Baker’s 13 instead.
  17. A family member had the same cancer with far fewer resources to fight it. This is a death sentence. The shocking weight loss is very sad. It robs your memories of who they were. Cancer is a plague.
  18. You better get this one right, but word of mouth reviews in this thread are far more reliable than Reddit reviews. I’ll give it a shot.
  19. Drugs addicts living near bodies of water are never a good mix. It’s not unique to Houston or in your case Austin. I hope your defense attorney is looking into this phenomenon.
  20. He’ll be fine in 2 weeks, but it doesn’t help that he’s not practicing. The kid needs reps.
  21. I believe OU’s first choice after Texas was Florida for recruiting obviously. Probably wouldn’t have been mad at aggy on the schedule either to give them another game in Texas. They were never going to duck Mizzou because of the Big 8 thing. Ole Miss and Mizzou is a net zero in recruiting.
  22. I believe aggy was his only other serious option. Odd recruitment. He only took an official visit to Florida. Last 3 unofficial visits before committing to Florida: Clemson, Baylor, USC.
  23. Anybody swing by the Spec’s on 35th in Austin? Based on the Reelz, that has to be the nicest Spec’s in Texas. Im
