  1. Not reading the entire thread, but these are fucking awesome.
  2. Simcoe Dreamboat. Austin Beerworks
  3. They're down to 2 of the long term members: 84 year old Mike Love and 83 year old Bruce Johnston. They have a strong supporting band, full of capable singers. Mike Love sometimes sounds old and tired; but he is 84 after all. Sometimes he sounds OK. On occasion, John Stamos will play with them. It would be an interesting show in 2005, maybe.
  4. FWIW - I do…. He was the OC for the Colts during Luck’s final year and for 2 more years. In 2019, he was the OC that helped Indy win 7 games with a QB room of Bisset, Hoyer, and Chad Kelly. In 2020, Colts went 11-5 with Phillip Rivers as QB. In 2021, he went to the Eagles. Funny (or not), that 2019 staff had HC Frank Reich, OC Sirianni, DC Eberflus, DB coach Gannon, OL coach Strausser (now at Houston in same role). I have no idea if Sirianni is a good coach, but his major roles have been with organizations who have their shit together. Indy’s front office is extremely competent (Anthony Richardson daft pick notwithstanding). And the Eagles might have the best GM in the league right now. He’s not screwing it up, so that is something. EDIT to add: yeah - he won a Super Bowl…. Pretty important in the NFL. If he ever starts to suck, he’ll be in the retread pipeline for as long as he’d like.
  5. Well, there's enough of a sideshow that just about every possible outcome today would be unsurprising.
  6. Titans have an opening. Dolphins and Cardinals likely become available this year. Perhaps others. He'll have options if he wants to go to the NFL. Likely has 8 figures stashed away already. If someone is truly miserable in their job, they'll take far less to go elsewhere.
  7. His standup is great - the above are gems.
  8. Chat GPT delivered me this haiku: Limp Longhorns linger, Tarnished tusks twist toward twilight— Dreams drift, dust, defeated. Edit - request more despondency: Lost Longhorns languish, Broken banners bleed in dusk— Hope hums hollow hymns And then I asked for 100% alliteration: Limp Longhorns languish, Lost legends lie, learning loss— Lonely lights lessen
  9. Lea played at Vandy. He has likely built 10+ years of goodwill with 24-25 performance.
  10. Franklin, Shaw, and Strong were on the list, post-Mack. Mack delayed, Franklin was (more or less) already hired, and it was down to Shaw/Strong. Shaw did not want to leave Stanford. Strong it is.
  11. In his defense, Russini may evoke peak Mary Lou Retton. Present Russini >> present Retton.
  12. That's kinda bleak for a college town. Even the greater West Lafayette / Lafayette (Purdue area for the geographically challenged) metropolis can support around 6 craft breweries. However, the winter likely drives most folks in that area to drink a bit more. Upon review, Laf/WL population is ~220k, much larger than the Starkville area. Still - you'd expect at least 1 craft brewery.
  13. Still too expensive.
  14. Cloud Candy New England IPA Mighty Squirrel Brewing Co. Watertown, MA (Boston suburb)
  15. If you are still in Minneapolis, try Surly Brewing. Took daughter (no pics) there on college trips and Surly was quite good.
  16. While the offensive gameplan, scheme, and execution left a lot to be desired, we should tone down the "worst of all time" hyperbolic rhetoric. https://www.espn.com/college-football/matchup/_/gameId/400610223 On Dec 30, 2014, the Texas offense produced 59 yards of total offense against Arkansas. 57 passing and 2 rushing in a 31-7 beatdown. 44 of those yards game on the TD drive. 59 yards is a famous unit of measure: 1 Watson, named after notoriously incompetent OC Shawn Watson. So, yes, it has been worse.
  17. Should have kicked on first down
  18. Poorly coached and dumb
  19. Opponents do not play “up” to Texas. Texas plays down.
  20. F SS. Edit - I should stop drinking and stop reading this thread during game day
  21. Offense is so unreliable hat the D cannot execute the fundamentals - fall on a fumble.
  22. RTDB. Agree. Yes, the RB room is light. Hand it to Niblett, Wingo, Moore. Heck, even hand it to Stroh. He’d fall down, likely forward.
