  1. Ok. I am now convinced. Fuck Nebraska. Plus, @TOR reminded me of Bielema's innovative capabilities in creating a new unit of measure.
  2. This is a tough one. Cheer against Nebraska or cheer against Bret.
  3. oops. imafool
  4. Some teams like to claim "best 0-2 team in the league." I think I can safely assert, "Pittsburgh is the worst 2-0 team in the league." A decent defense and kicking game can keep you competitive, but I am awaiting one of those 30-10 beatdowns that seem to occur on an almost annual basis. Sometimes you need to score points. Arthur cannot.
  5. Fever started 1-8 and 2-9, finishing 20-20. They are 19-12 since their coach figured out that they have generational talent. With CTH, Derka and me as a supporting cast.
  6. Kliff Kingsbury is tanned and rested.
  7. Good points about timeline. My primary residence was purchased at a rate of around 6.875% for a 30 and I refi'd numerous times until I got it to 15-yr @ 2.875%
  8. Appreciate all of the input. There are rumblings that there will be another 50 bps drop a little later in the year and possibly another 50bps a quarter later. Is that what y'all are hearing? Just trying to time the market, which is often a fool's errand. Just glad my primary residence is at 2.875%
  9. Thank you. Is that for the 7/1 or 30? Or does it matter?
  10. What are you seeing for 7/1 and 30 for non-primary residence? Home is in Indiana.
  11. It's not really shit-talking to call any male member of the Sanders family a douchebag asshole, is it? It's one thing to be flexing and talking performance-based shit to CU when you are down 28-3. It's totally legit to call a Sanders a fucking selfish douchebag prick.
  12. UF will have to do a reset. There is no combination of coordinator shifts or lower-level coaching changes that will salvage this. They are hiring tier 2 coordinators fired for poor performance at the likes of Baylor. They're doomed until the reset occurs.
  13. That is pretty wild - and sad. 198-1984 had around 56% of #1 hits from bands. And that was during the era of Blondie, David Bowie, John Lennon's final album, Rod Stewart, Lionel Richie, etc. Oh and Rick Astley This is an interesting resource https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UK_singles_chart_number_ones_of_the_1980s
  14. All of this can be simultaneously true: - Perry's vocals sound like shit and have for the better part of 5 years. Seems like he has not been doing the proper warmup and warmdown for normal vocalists, much less the "screamer" types. Axl Rose has kept his voice in shape through disciplined pre-show warmups and and post-show warmdowns. And he will readily admit some days are better than others. - Perry's in-ear monitors are not adequate. Regardless, if his voice is failing, he'll still sound horrible. - Perry was hammered - Perry was high. - Stage monitors were too loud. This could be for many reasons. Navarro wants to hear himself better or they want to drown out Perry or both. - JA's band is sounding pretty damned good.
  15. Mea culpa. Looks like the update the per-voter tracking a bit later than the overall poll. That said, Kurt's deserves our resentment.
  16. Kurt Bowels has Texas #2 behind UGA. No surprise. https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll?voter=Kirk Bohls&organization=Houston Chronicle EDIT - It appears that the per-voter tracking updates later than the overall poll. When I pulled the data, the poll was recent, but Bohls' data was not.
  17. Lights were added to that stadium in 2017. Night games (infrequent) always required renting lights.
  18. I attended UND @ Purdue. It was about as bad as the score indicates - 66-7: UND. Card looks like he's regressed and he still tries to spin his way out of sacks and out-athlete superior defenders. Was a beautiful day in West Lafayette. BUT... WTF is the high safety doing playing 25 yards off the LOS against a QB who really cannot throw?
  19. Always a good call to see Bunnymen early in the tour. I saw them in Austin in 2022 and they canceled the next few shows b/c of Ian's voice. He was having back problems at the time and went off stage to get a backrub (not the Deshawn Watson. type) so Will got to take over with an instrumental for a few minutes. I've seen them a bunch of times over the years. Will's playing seems to be getting stronger; Ian claims to be off drugs, which will prolong his career. /csb Saw them at a bar on 4th St on the tour when Ian had left the band. Was standing in the bar/poolhall area of the place, as the opening act was just not very good. Started talking to a guy. He had a strong British accent, so I asked if he was touring w/ the band. He said, "Yes, I'm Noel, the lead singer." Oops. It was Noel Burke, but I did not know what he looked like b/c the Reverberation liner notes did not contain photos. He invite me to join them back stage after. Went back there, and he says, "Hey boilerhorn - thanks for joining." Drank w/ them and some others for a bit. Until Will bought a bag of coke from some rando. Time for me to leave. /csb
  20. Here's a full show from June. Perry's holding up a bottle of wine backstage before he goes on. I did a quick scan of some of the songs. Summertime Rolls was "ok", but he seems to be singing all around the beat and struggles to hit some of the notes at times. "Ocean Size" - music was great; voice was a little off - a little flat on almost all of the high notes. Same for "Mountain Song" and the others. "Been Caught Stealing" sounded shitty IMO. Perry sounds high/drunk/off during his monologues. His voice seems to weaken and sound worse the further he proceeds. "Jane Says" was very disappointing, The band sounds great. Perry does not. He's always struck me as being a borderline crazy person. Add lots of drugs and drink to that and you get what @Gil Bang posted.
  21. Focus on the present and the future. Oh. Screw Mar.
  22. C’mon Bianco. I hope you intentionally left out “250” or another large number between “favorite” and “people”.
  23. Sowing her wild oats in Shannon's luxury.
  24. I think they are letting him talk because it’s a form of self immolation
