  1. In my daddy ball experience, the QB is the coach's son. Not that it matters...
  2. Springsteen covers Chuck Berry.

    Rush

    Vegan crossfit jerkoffs. Most Rush fanatics will back off if you are not a fan. Not true for crossfitters or vegans.
  4. Colin Hay (former frontman from Men at Work) is in that price range. I have seen him 1x "for hire" at One World and another time at the Paramount. Great talent. Great storyteller. As others have implied, you're kinda fucked if you are expecting bargain guys to show up w/ a tier 1 PA.
  5. Purdue has been referred to as "The Cradle of Quarterbacks" Some of the well-known names include: Bob DeMoss Dale Samuels Len Dawson Bob Griese Mike Phipps Gary Danielson Mark Herrmann Scott Campbell Jim Everett Drew Brees Kyle Orton Curtis Painter That does not include a couple of recent guys: David Blough and Danny Etling are NFL backups right now. Aidan O'Connell looks to be drafted this year.
  6. Similar to what I reported a couple days back. What is considered "impeded airways" is very broad. Perhaps this is yet another of the reasons we are not hearing much from any of the sides (LEO, DA, accuser, Beard, his attorneys, UT, etc.)
  7. In every instance I was looking for a new house in the Austin area, there has been a house I liked that I could not afford. That's par for the course. The house I could not afford was better than what I purchased. Such is life in Austin, Boulder, etc.
  8. Friend of mine was on a jury for a DV case a while back. The definition of strangulation was quite broad: restricting air flow or blood flow through the neck - or the apparent intent to do so. When law enforcement officers (LEO) were questioned about previous examples warranting strangulation charges, he said he was amazed. One example was something like: woman rushed man in a rage; man extended arms to grab shoulders to keep her at a distance; one hand slipped and touched her neck. Strangulation charge. There were other similar examples of what was clearly NOT strangulation, but the charges were still filed. LEO will charge an let the legal system play out. Not sure if such an example was cited before. For what it's worth..
  9. Just paid tonight. Sorry about the delay.
  10. RIP, Mike Leach. College Football - on and off the field - was better with you here.
  11. A Redditor posted a cut-paste from the MSU 247 board: The use of "disturbing details" makes it seem a little more dire than a medical issue. EDIT: that said, there are rumors of coding multiple times. I'd characterize that as disturbing. Prayers for Leach and his family.
  12. Is this the modern day equivalent of calling Deion an Uncle Tom?
  13. According to https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/football/2022/12/11/this-year-our-staff-heisman-trophy-voters-agreed-on-the-same-player/69716486007/ (paywalled). Bohls: 1- Duggan, 2 - Robinson, 3 - Williams Golden: 1 - Duggan, 2 - Robinson, 3 - Stroud Still looking for FCB's ballot. EDIT: Spoiler'd a cut-paste of what is paywalled. Somewhat banal, but it is Bohls and Golden.
  14. Here's a decent summary of the results: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-football/news/heisman-trophy-2022-winner-voting-results/aj03p9wopvjvxgcrvbisudij Voting results: Finish Player Pos.

  15. My first reaction, too. Then I realized that Musk (and his buddies and his creditors) just paid $44B to buy Twitter. He owns it. CU has given Sanders an annual $5mm promissory note to coach the team and his first actions as coach are to publicly run off whatever talent he's inherited. He's an employee. He could have introduced himself, discussed his philosophy, noted how he was going to interview and evaluate everyone, and fielded questions. Made it about the players and the team and, behind closed doors, remind the players that they helped get the previous guy fired. Expectations will be high, etc. etc. etc. In true Deion form, he made it about himself and went full-on mercenary mode.
  16. IIRC, it is the academic progress rate (APR) that is used to place 5-7 teams. I'm not going out on a limb to guess Rice has a better APR than the Aggies.
  17. I'm a bit conflicted, but it seems like a TD there is an asshole move.
  18. IMO, Purdue would beat both ISU and WVU. Using the Sagarin method for point spreads (which matches many opening lines), Purdue and ISU are a pick-em.
  19. Down 17, they'd need a FG at some point. Plus, perhaps some big donor has Purdue +16.5... And Brohm knows.
  20. And the incomplete pass earlier. They are garbage.
