  1. Can someone make an official Paul Finebaum thread so any discussion of him or his show stays in one place? I'm excited about joining the SEC, but I draw the line at having to read about Finebaum on here.
  2. Let’s please make a pact to never chant “SEC” at any Texas sporting event.
  3. To expound a bit: Life in the current Big 12 for Texas: You are the evil big boss. You are the highlighted and most important game for the majority of your opponents. If you lose, you will be mocked and laughed at. If you win, well, you're Texas, you should have fucking won. All the outside pressure is directly put on Texas. It's just a shitty situation for us. Future life in the SEC: you are big game for every opponent, but the majority have big rivalries with other programs. The opponent's playbook is not specifically saved for playing UT. The playing field evens quite a bit. Fun road trips. Fun home games. Packed stadiums every week. Getting to watch a team play up to its competition. Sounds like a good time.
  4. Look, Texas has no one to blame but themselves for the failures on the field over the last decade. But playing a scheduled where 90% of the teams are little brothers with a massive chip on their shoulder whose most important game is Texas every year gets old. It really sucks when they beat us (which has happened a lot), it still kinda sucks even when we win. It's just not that interesting. More often than not (post Charlie Strong) we seem to play our best against the bigger opponents/programs. If this move to the SEC happens, I think we're gonna do very well.
  5. Even if we were winning 10 games every year, our conference schedule is boring. I haven't been to Austin for a game in 7 years. Who we play matters.
  6. It's funny to see these Twitter takes from SEC people that are all very not concerned, no I'm serious, not scared at all, let's make fun of Texas, we're seriously not worried at all about Texas joining their conference. Not surprising that the majority of it comes from the little brothers (including aggy) of the SEC.
  7. Love Morikawa. Incredible that he won in his Open Championship debut, without much links course experience. No doubt the great weather and easy wind conditions really helped. He was able to pick the course apart and had a good week with the putter. No bogies in last 31 holes of the tournament. His mental game is strooong.
  8. I just poured a Bowman SiB for the first time in a month or so. My god. If I could buy a case right now, I would.
  9. Yeah, @NOMAAA has mentioned to me that he likes this stuff. But it's still funny to use OF Birthday Bourbon as a comparison just because of the bottle design.
  10. Yeah, my uncle in Los Angeles has a huge fruit garden. He spends hours watering it after work. Had some kumquats and pomegranates that were just incredible. To paraphrase George Costanza, felt like I got a B12 shot.
  11. If you're planning on actually drinking the bottle, put EC18, W12, ETL and Blanton's towards the bottom.
  12. The Weller 12 and Elmer T. Lee secondary market is just stupid. Two tasty yet unspectacular 90 proof bottles. I got a W12 last year, made a Poor Man's Pappy, and haven't touched it since. So many better bottles on my shelf.
  13. Wild. Turkey. Rare. Breed.
  14. Might as well shit in it too if you are going the bucket route.
  15. I enjoyed the bottle, but won't purchase it again. I will auto buy an Uncut & Unfiltered if I see it on the shelf. Wheelhouse bourbon for me. High rye, 115-120 proof. Love it.
  16. Definitely get some SW Uncut & Unfiltered if you see it in Denver.
  17. Kamala has had a history of staffers leaking their complaints to the press. It's not ideal. I understand why you'd think it's overblown, but you shouldn't put your head in the sand either.
  18. You're not alone. It's a possibility.
  19. No doubt that Biden putting Kamala in charge of the border is a lose-lose situation for her. Curious decision.
