    I grew up watching those guys on WGN or some other local Chicago station.  Their TV show ended up becoming very commercialized and borderline silly.  But as my father used to point out to when I was young, their written columns were incredibly written. 

    Most people don't remember that Siskel was a Yale humanities graduate, wrote for the U.S. Army Defense Information School, and Playboy.  Quite a range.  His movie takes were often for shit, but he died before I really got into cinema anyway.  But I look back on his prose and style, and the man's writing and intellectual breakdown of the reflections of film on society were pretty damn impressive.  Ebert was a University of Chicago PhD candidate before he got into being a critic and writer.  Again, most Americans don't know that UoC is arguably the best school in the nation not in the Ivy League or named after Leyland, Jr.  Ebert had the better taste, or at least for me anyways.  He had a softer side than Siskel, and I always loved the way he understood fellow-Chicagoan, John Hughes.  He, too, could frame an argument on paper like very few (even won a Pulitzer). 

    The two of them could have been almost anything given their intellectual prowess, but they ended up embracing movies because of how they felt and believed it was the most contemporary reflection of America in their lifetimes.  More than journalism, TV, politics, music, art, religion, etc.  And they were absolutely correct, just ahead of their time.  And it didn't help they really cut their teeth/"get big" in the 1980's when American movies were at arguably their lowest point of cultural significance---and we were as a country overall at our lowest point culturally (until the last 8 years or so).  And their show was stylized to pit them against one another and a glorified trailer for major studios.  But my father called maybe 10 people smart in my whole life, and he considered Roger Ebert to be absolutely brilliant (primarily off camera, and they met a few times in real life).  

    Americans consider high cinema to be the newest Larry the Cable Guy picture or Deuce Bigalow prequel.  Siskel and Ebert saw this dumbing-down of America with movies being a leading indicator.  The harbingers of our demise.  But yeah, to your point---they missed quite frequently.  But their niche was and is remains quite unique.  I kinda miss 'em.

    Yes, in the video you can see the umpire pointing at the batter as he's rounding the bases so whatever he said must have been beyond normal trash talk. The batter was actually suspended for taunting but obviously it's hard to say if that would have happened without the pitcher laying him out. 

    Must have called him a cocksucker

    Man, I had no idea that was the impetus behind them playing here.  I've searched their tour history on many occasions.  But that's a background I did not know.  

    I knew some guys that worked at Strait Music in the 80's but I'd love to hear the stories from their older bosses.  "So this guy comes in with a British accent.  I kinda recognized him from a Yardbirds record cover.  He's fiddling around with a Les Paul we have while the other manager is pulling some stacks from the back because this bigger fella named Peter told him to while counting a bundle of cash.  Anyway the skinny guitarist smiles and thanks us for the Marshalls and quietly asks me, 'Hey mate...what is the heroin situation here in Texas?'  Brought the shit back in immaculate condition and asked for directions to San Antonio."

    i would add in front of your list:

    +++

    wednesday 7/21/2021 - bjork finds out about our SEC move, calls Sharpe who calls Zwerneman who summons Bjork for a spontaneous presser outside of the scheduled coaches' media time; Bjork sounds like a homeless wounded dog when he grovels: "We want to be the only SEC team from the state of Texas.  There’s a reason why Texas A&M left the Big 12 — to be stand alone, to have our own identity, and that’s our feeling.”

    7/21-7/24 2021 - for the next 45 hours, aggy goes berserk online in a cornholio rage unmeasurable with current technology

    saturday 7/24/2021 - at approximately 1045am Sankey calls Sharpe and tells him to sit the fuck down, shut the fuck up, bend over, and forget the lube, OR ELSE

    saturday 7/24/2021 - within 15 minutes, Looch pivots 180 degrees and the ministry fights a holding action through the weekend erasing texags history at a level never seen before or since

    sunday 7/25/2021 - Sharpe consults his cabinet of boosters and talkiebirds; aggy pivot almost complete, call to zwerneman delivers new talking points

    monday 7/26/2021 - zwerneman article: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-nation/college/article/SEC-expansion-breathes-new-life-into-UT-A-M-16341517.php

    +++

    also what should be in the timeline is when aggy decided they were getting the first game at home and how their actions prevented the playoff expansion which kept out fsu and how refusing to play us led to us winning in tuscaloosa which put us in the playoff

    Add this to 7/21

    Icy Whites it is.  I love it.

    Thought the preferred nomenclature is Stormtroopers.

     

    Texas Uniforms Among the Most Iconic in the Nation

    The Texas football uniforms remain among the most iconic in college football amid slight upgrades.

    TEXAS across the home jerseys, the Longhorns' primary logo has stood the test of time. The "stormtrooper" away combination — all-white with orange accents — is another classic. 

     

    Texas Longhorns Uniforms - The Road Whites - Stormtroopers

    The Texas Longhorns have iconic uniforms. They don't change every game. Home. Away.
