  1. Tennessee/Florida is usually in the middle of September. It's in late November this year?
  2. Hey man, what the fuck? Are you pre-menopausal or something? Nobody else better start sharing their feelings around here. When I checked out Red Raider Insider earlier, this is what I gathered: 1) Not a single thread on softball started by a mod. They're dead silent on the finals tonight. 2) One meta-thread for the season that started in mid-March with various folks initially chiming in to mock watching women's softball. It's now at 44 pages. 3) 4 other softball threads, one asking for help in understanding the softball rules. While there is just this one thread on this site, it's a very active thread and has been around since long before the season started.
  3. One of my best friends, who has always been aware of Hornfans/Shaggy/Surly but isn't a lurker or poster, made this and HenryJames posted it. Way back in the day.
  4. I know with the quoting and stuff it can become unclear, but it was a poster calling Sarkisian a drug addict and Tarp taking him to task for it.
  5. Anyone know anything about Tudor Fieldhouse? Is it difficult to get tickets? My youngest daughter is playing and loving volleyball and just asked me last week if I'd take her to see Texas play this year.
  6. Sir, you can remove the credit for this thread derail from my cold, dead hands. This started when I asked about a Dave Grohl reference and then things began spiraling when his drug-addled drummer hit on my wife.
  7. I’m reminded of the old business line “how long do you let an 800 lb gorilla fuck you?” here. “How long does hagbard celine let Bono fuck him?” ”As long as Bono wants. “ Don’t take it too hard. I’ve met CDC at least 50 times, including in closely held meetings, and I feel fairly certain he wouldn’t remember me if I ran into him right now and kicked him squarely in the nuts.
  8. Apparently, his nickname is "Gig".
  9. Hahahahahaha! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! Get the fuck out of here with that nonsense. They're not being altruists or strategic thinkers on this. They're simply not interested in codifying their position as merely a second tier conference in an explicit manner. Klatt is 100% correct with his argument. I realize not everyone on here has had the misfortune of being present in a board room when leadership is facing a daunting outlook and some of the sunshine-pumping ass-kissers start vomiting false hope and everyone else starts injecting that into their veins as well, but that is almost certainly what the Big 12 and ACC board rooms are doing in this set-up. They're convincing themselves of the premise that they'll outperform their past as they look to the future, even though their foundation has actually gotten weaker relative to the competition. It is flatly idiotic for those groups to leave a locked up spot sitting on the table. The SEC and B1G will ultimately figure out how to take all of the at-larges on a virtually annual basis.
  10. I haven't seen the clip in a while, but I feel like I would have remembered Bum Phillips calling the Steelers a bunch of cunts. I'll go get a refresh on YouTube, I guess.
  11. I am fully stocked with toilet paper, and Charmin is a lot cheaper.
  12. I think what you mean is "kick the son of a bitch in, ladies."
  13. I buy any I can find with the exception of Dave Campbell's. I still love reading all of them front to back. Going to go buy the two that are out later today. Phil Steele's is always my favorite. I usually have my own thoughts gathered across the big conferences by the time I start reading these and it is always fun to see the disparity from my perspective versus the writers in each magazine.
  14. Connie Clark? Projecting being marginalized by ESPN, irrespective of opponent that Texas would defeat? This is all after a huge win over the zomg fastest pitcher evar!? You guys could fuck up a soup sandwich.
  15. I’m sorry, but what in the fuck does Dana Barrett’s refrigerator have to do with college athletics?
  16. The idiot threw the change on the first pitch of the AB. She deserved to see that one sail out. Less about timing when that happens, though.
  17. The biggest backer has paid for more shit since 2018 than probably any donor anywhere besides Phil Knight and that is no slight to big NIL people at Texas or elsewhere. Dude is a trader at his core. If he’s not seeing a win in the deal, he’s out fully. I think they’ve hit that kind of wall with the baseball team’s performance and the backing of the football roster.
  18. What a fucking clown that Wright State coach is. Just a dumb motherfucker in every way. You are the last seed in the tournament and your guy is throwing a no-no with a lead and only 76 pitches thrown. Just keep running the guy out there, you piece of shit.
  19. The B1G has all of its talking heads, paid directly or indirectly, out there talking about being the strongest conference and winning the last two titles. "Now that everyone is paying players, power has shifted to the north" implying that the SEC was actively playing bag games that other leagues avoided before. Shit like that. I hate the SEC history and idiotic bravado. Hell, and the schools themselves, outside of UF and Vanderbilt, who I like a little. I'm all for what the B1G is doing. I hope it all causes the SEC to yield to the pleadings for them to play 9 conference games. 8 game conference schedules causing what is effectively a cheat for the SEC and ACC (lol) getting more teams into a playoff is beneath what Texas and its brand stands for, so fuck all of that shit.
  20. My FIL served in the British military for a decade. He then went on to work for a UK conglomerate working in "development" behind the Iron Curtain, in the USSR, the Middle East, Iran and the Far East for various stretches of time. He tells random stories of the same ilk as you do, although often really absurd or disturbing. He does it in the same matter of fact manner. "I was bringing across £50,000 through Ashgabat once via a hidden floor in the soles of my shoes for a mate once ..." or "our friend in Dubai, Ramy, kept buying canaries at the pet shop after he first brought his family over. it took awhile to figure out what was going on ..." or "the bloody problem with Russians is that life is not valued by them. I've run into more sociopaths in my dealings with those dirty bastards than anywhere else in the world outside of Kowloon ..." Now, I'm fairly certain that he actually was part of the British intelligence world. I sometimes wonder if you're not our Surly version of that.
  21. Not miserable. I’d have to be a perpetually wrong buffoon to qualify as miserable. You should know well enough.
  22. Eh, no. If you’re going to attempt to correct someone, don’t be that much of a fuck up. It’s jumping the gun. Jumping the shark is a reference to a popular something or other taking things too far into absurdity and losing its audience/impact. Jesus. Also, no shit softball and baseball are still playing? So are rowing and both gender T&F. 1 national championship for this season will be won.
