  1. I've tried to find a gif for the scene that, I think follows that, where Pigvomit says: "You goddamn motherfuckers." I'd like to be able to post that on this site many times a month.
  2. I didn't realize an outfit could be called a "stormtrooper" look if the helmet wasn't white.
  3. You should have reported me to the authorities or something if you couldn’t handle it. Didn’t you already come on here and whine about it?
  4. I've spent a little time watching both OU and Michigan from week 1, more OU than Michigan because I watched that entire hideous game. Figured I'd post thoughts on what this one could look like and see how it holds up. Spoilered for TL; DR people.
  5. I don't know why, but I didn't realize until today that you're one of the many lawyers here.
  6. What is your use of the word "actually" meant to imply here? That setting Williams up to be bracketed on the reg is actually strategically intelligent?
  7. God. Poetic license was murdered by the Internet. The rise of pedantry might actually be the clarion call for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Do you also think it is improbable that a cartel set him up, Gene?
  8. The 247 site wrote a similar article, spoilered below. The comments aren't rationalizing anything, though. My favorite was "Based on his history as HC at OU - every game is the biggest game of his career."
  9. Got it. Thanks. The name is really funny.
  10. I always default to Pappa's, but there are reasons for the Palm. I haven't been to V&A's in over a decade and will never go again. It's a Fertitta joint and it comes with all of the cheap bullshit that that should imply. Pappa's usually has an active environment and the food and drink quality is reliably great. Palm has a veal parm that rivals Piore's in Vegas as the best I've ever had, if you happen to be in to that at a steakhouse. The environment last time I was there was dead, but that was on Memorial Day's evening. B&B Butcher's is near downtown on Washington. They have some unique dishes and maybe the best pork chop dish in town. They're more unique than the ones you asked about, IMO.
  11. I missed it somewhere along the timeline, but what is the story behind the name "El Assico" for the Iowa vs ISU game each year? Is it just because those games are usually so ugly? What's the origin story?
  12. No clue. Sub in "injected a gummy" for the booze part. It's a dumb fucking take to say he wasn't out late and doesn't party. He was arrested after midnight, was he not? Even to college students, after midnight can be considered late night. If getting high isn't some version of partying to the source, the source fucking sucks. It read like gaslighting and they shouldn't have published that nonsense. It's no different than CJ Vogel telling his audience that there was no real issue with Goosby's health pretty much while Goosby was at the hospital undergoing surgery. Nothing wrong with hoping for any of that, but take a look at the CSU box score from last year. SJSU isn't the same team, but there are similarities between the approaches for each offense.
  13. I have been on this spinning rock now for almost 5 decades and sadly today is the first time it hit me that I should be asking for extra sauce on my enchiladas. This post was a fucking epiphany.
  14. I know they pay players for intel, but they have to realize that sometimes those players are pushing an agenda that isn’t accurate, right? The Wardell Mack bit is just fucking idiotic. Was he kidnapped by some evil cartel, injected with enough booze to register as drunk and then put him behind a wheel?
  15. My post was what non-autists know as “sarcasm”. No shit you have whines about the RB room. Strong work ignoring the consequences of actually bringing in this ethereal quality, proven, healthy back from the portal as well.
  16. Alabama is poor right now as it relates to NIL and renovations, but they're not a poor university. Allowing an employee to insist that you escrow the money due to their concerns about your solvency would get someone fired. They're unlikely to get pushed around by an agent/lawyer trying to force them into an escrow account. The whole point of negotiating something like a monthly payout is to avoid something else, like cash crunch by having to fork over the bulk of $60M to someone or a neutral account controlled by a third party.
  17. It's a hamstring injury, supposedly. Nope. What you see against Ohio State in Columbus in his first game back is what you're getting for the next two seasons, or just this one after Small Game Steve pushes the dude onto the trapdoor and pulls the lever, dropping him into the portal due to his lack of explosiveness.
  18. His contract runs through the end of 2031. I refuse to do simple math for a suspected adult. Even you should be able to figure it out using your jumbo indigo crayon and Big Chief tablet.
  19. Correct. I asked my buddy involved there at the dawn of legal NIL if $5M was too much for them to handle in the new era and they said "there is no way we could handle competing with that." Now, $5M seems quaint these days, but the problem hasn't really changed for them as the numbers have grown. They used to win recruiting titles each cycle with a budget between $500k and $1M depending upon the year. Ohio State and a few others had more than that, but Saban did actually get a discount most of the time.
  20. Look, I understand that a working knowledge of high finance isn't a requirement for apprentice forklift drivers, but a rudimentary understanding of the basics of cashflow management never hurt anyone.
  21. They were playing Ohio State with an ultra conservative gameplan. I just don't think you can take too much away from that one. Also, is there a Bijan in all of CFB this year? Or most years? I know you're a big Reuben Owens fan and that others here have been stanning for Jadyn Ott, but I don't see it.
  22. Is this some sort of challenge you’re issuing to Codaxx and Red Five, sir? If so, these are men who will absolutely meet the moment.
  23. I don’t take a whole lot away from the Ohio State game on the offensive end. The OL looked better than I hoped. Endries looks good. Other than that and Manning shitting his pants, not much there to consider. On the RBs, they just used their comfort guys, probably by plan. Good God, man. They’re not going to be the only guys getting carries. Those guys are high on quality P4 backs nonetheless.
  24. Six RBs isn't enough to your liking?
