    '08 Gators lost that year.  Way too high on that list.

    Florida did win the BCS MNC that season (Go Gata 24 - ousux 14), but I agree that team is too high.  The 2001 'Canes beat them by 10.

    I'd put 2016 Clemson ahead of 2017 Bama as well.  Watson > Tua/Hurts and 2016  Bama defense was better than 2017.

  2. The ratio of ingredients is also on point (just the merest hint of lettuce, with two sliced tomatoes and a pile of bacon.)  Points added for subbing Whataburger Jap Ranch instead of mayo.

    The mumbling epidemic is driving me batshit.  I feel like I'm losing my hearing when I know I'm not.

     

    Game of Thrones was the worst- and I love that show.  We would have to turn the volume all the way up, and then add the soundbar, just to hear what the fuck people were saying.

    Glad I’m not the only one who can’t understand TF they are saying. I have to watch it with the subtitles. 

  4. Dave South's call of that glorious moment, deadpan with defeat while chocking back the tears, is worth a listen as well.

    "It is down. It is up, and it's aaaaa... goodonetheywin. [radio silence] Texas has won it, 27-25, with a 40-yard field goal. [radio silence] Annnnnnd Texas has stormed the field."

    In my opinion shape is the most important part, but would love to hear the thoughts of others. I look for a nice thick flat and compact shape (e.g. that one on mapplewhite's posts looks pretty good in post cook form).  I don't particularly like working with the long "lanky" briskets. 

    Anyone else notice that it's getting harder to find briskets with a nice uniform flat? I'll go through the case at Costco and of 20 briskets maybe one or two (and even then, only one or two if I'm lucky) that have a uniform thickness across the flat. Most of them taper down and are way too thin.

    Any suggestions on green tea that doesn’t suck and have tons of sugar?

    I get this stuff in a 12-pack from Costco.  Just two ingredients: tea and water.  It's stronger than other unsweet green teas, but that's what I like about it.  Very good.

    (Did we figure out a resolution to imgur pics not working? Is there a better alternative? Asking for a friend.)

    You try using Tapa? Cuz not seeing The Shank’s food pron is causing me to haz sad.

    For me, it's three-fold, especially if I get my in-laws to pay for the brisket.  

    (1) delicious cheap food and I'm the hero

    (2) sanctioned drinking for 12-20 hours

    (3) I don't have to interact with my family ("Sorry honey, you know I'd love to go to the dinosaur museum with you and the kids but I gotta stay here and tend this beast")

    This man knows that of which he speaks.  All three of those reasons are damn spot-on.  I have gotten out of a lot of "honey-do shit" by claiming exactly what JimmyJazz posted in #3.  

    OP, get your FIL to pay for the brisket (Costco usually has primes for $3.50/pound here recently).  Get some course black pepper, kosher salt (Diamond is best), lump charcoal, and oak and hickory logs. If your FIL doesn't have one, you'll need a charcoal chimney as well (availabe at any hardware store for $15).  Oh, and a bottle of bourbon.  

    Then watch these:

     

     

    What you make, even on the first go-round, will be better than what these Yankees have ever eaten. Then bask in the adulation and props. You're wife will be so impressed, you'll get a blowjob upon arriving back home.

  9. Netflix:

    Secrets of the  Tower of London

    Secrets of Westminster

    Secrets of Great British Castles

    Edward VIII, The Nazi King (I found this right after I watched Season Two of The Crown; very well done.)

    The Royal House of Windsor (if you like The Crown, you'll really enjoy this).

    Edit: I'll second what lateshow said about Armistice and The Long Shadow. Both are very well done. Watch Armistice first, though.

    Amazon Prime:

    Wolf Hall (not a documentary, but it might as well be.  A BBC/Masterpiece six-episode series set in Tudor England.  It's told from Cromwell's point of view and gives him more sympathetic treatment.  Mark Rylance is utterly brilliant as Cromwell, and Claire Foy (as usual) is outstanding as Anne Bolyen.  I cannot recommend this highly enough.)

    Inside the Tower of London

    Henry VII: The Winter King

    The First World War. Ten episodes, but very deep and insightful.

    The  Battle of Chosin.  You must watch this.  What those guys endured...

    Carrier.  Ten episode PBS doc following life on the USS Nimitz

    Would a British side look much different than the English side?  If so, how would you feel about going that direction if it elevated the chances of winning?  Olympic team is UK/GB I guess. 

    Agree on Bale, and I'm pretty sure this guy would have been a massive upgrade on whomever England started at Left Midfielder from 1994-2006...

    Basically slightly over half of OSU's student body are from either the OKC or Tulsa metro areas; also in the past 15-20 years they have recruited the crap out of the Dallas and Houston suburbs... They basically go down there looking for kids who are good students but not good enough to get into UT or A&M and offer them in-state tuition to come to OSU.  (OU does the same thing)

    Lady I work with’s son is going to oSu and is in the exact scenario you provided. He attends a Catholic high school in Dallas, is top 20% of his class with good SAT & ACT, extracurriculars, all that stuff. Yet he has no shot at his dream school (UT) or even UT-D.  Okie St offered him in-state tuition, which will be cheaper than Tech.

    Good deal for the kids and schools.

    I agree, but even with that being said, you can’t expect to win if you have ONE shot on goal in 122 minutes 

    Yep. England had their chances in the first half. Didn’t take them and got burned. 

     

    Damn impressed with Croatia. Fought back and dominated after half time. 

     

    Hopefully we’re in store for a great final.
