  1. If aggy had any say at all, Texas Tech wouldn't even exist as a university. Texas fans can get all haughty about shit, but they've never been "genocidal" when it comes to West Texans getting edumacated.
  2. Kinda looks like a Hook'em. Wordle 1,641 4/6 🟩⬛⬛⬛🟩 🟩⬛⬛⬛🟩 🟩🟨🟨⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Connections Puzzle #919 🟪🟦🟦🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🙂 Daily Quordle 1422 6️⃣8️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣ m-w.com/games/quordle/
  3. Hahaha! Please, tell me this was intentional, I miss the days when conspiracies were fun, like the mysterious spate of unexplained spontaneous combustions plaguing the nation back in the 1980s. It always seemed to happen to people living in trailer parks for some inexplicable reason. 🤔
  4. Growing up in West Texas, I basically saw Clovis, Hobbs, Portales, and Lovington as extensions of West Texas with yellow license plates. All of them are still on the Llano Estacado. New Mexico, at least to me, doesn't really take hold until you cross the Pecos into Carlsbad or Roswell. And that meanness you describe seems characteristic of small towns across that region. Where'd you go to high school?

  7. I actually enjoyed that Wickline thing. Thought it was pretty clever and maybe the best thing she's ever done on the show. Now, I'm not saying it was great, but this is all relative to low expectations.
  8. Oh, it's Bucked Up, not Buckle Up. No wonder I kept hearing Fucked Up LA Bowl.
  9. Godammit! There oughta be an exception in the rules for a ball bouncing off an endzone crossbar to keep it inbounds.
  10. I'm not really in an argumentative mood, but you could easily take out in color descriptors, and all of this could still be true. That said, I don't think you're necessarily wrong. However, to your point about specific racial preferences, there's more data on him. For her, we only have one data point. So that shifts the argument slightly back toward the overall power dynamic. I absolutely agree that it's one consideration to include within the overall decision matrix.
  11. Every time they say the "Buckle Up LA Bowl," I swear to God I hear the "Fucked Up LA Bowl."
  12. You know it! *snap* *snap*
  13. Boise State looks better with orange pants.
  14. Basketball, I know, but it's the only .gif I could find, and I know they're rivals because I did a project in Carbondale several years ago. And, well, you're a Sooner fan, so I need to do something to piss you off.
  15. Not sure if Rice, Baylor, or even TCU would make the 64-team cut.
  16. I think it's increasingly likely there'll be a P4 break-off and conference reorganization. My hope is for a 64-team league with more regional conferences.
  17. @flatdawgs @Beau Vine Congrats on your pending LA Bowl win!
  18. Could've been me 10-12 years ago. Drank some wine, took an Ambien. Woke up the next morning to a flame on my gas stove, with a salt pile beside a pepper one, both neatly poured on the counter. Trashed the Ambien then and there.
  19. Only if I'd said gaping chasm, instead.
  20. I don't think I've ever seen a more wide-open receiver than that.
  21. Definitely a local/regional culture thing. Living in a rural town nowadays, I know lots of folks who haven't gone to college but are diehard Longhorns, Aggies, or Red Raiders. I know next to nothing about CFB fandom out there, but it's the "T-shirt fans" who pay the bills. I don't know what UCLA or USC do to ingratiate themselves with the community, but whatever they're doing is wrong.
  22. It's wild to me that the Greater LA area (pop. 18M) can't fill up a 70,000-seat arena. That's like 0.39% of the population if I'm mathin' right. It shouldn't be hard to fill, even with both teams from out of town. You know? Just random CFB fans should be enough, but, as you said, you chose to stay at home instead. That's not a judgment on you. It's just a testament to how little support CFB, as a sport, gets out there.
  23. Wow. Was the fire somehow related to the storms or just a freak accident? Glad you're okay.
  24. When you don't have a dog in the hunt, rooting for a scrappy underdog is (or used to be) an American tradition.
