  1. I may be mistaken, but I don't think he has anything against Ole Miss per se. He is a UT and a UF fan. So, yesterday, he hated you.
  2. So anyone who has followed the Vols online is probably familiar with Big Vol Daddy, I'm pretty sure his rants have been linked on Surly many times in the past. Apparently he died this past Friday. His daughter started a GoFundMe to try to cover costs: https://www.gofundme.com/f/assist-with-big-vol-daddys-hospital-and-burial-bills?fbclid=IwY2xjawGua4ZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHWrDG7D9YcbTMP3brJpHhm8owyqUgg7MvechHrx7UXvUNXqOMEePc1LorA_aem_1Qno4DpTs0oOPikA-7C7SA RIP to one of the countless little pieces that make college football the amazing tapestry that it always is.
  3. I chuckle every time I log in and see this thread is on page 420, my inner Beavis coming out. Carry on.
  4. There's that Dildo of Consequences rearing it enlarged head again...
  5. Thoughts and prayers, Wally. And not in the sarcastic sense. Kick it's ass.
  6. Kathleen?!? Someone pulled up her Wikipedia page and labeled her by her given name. I have never, ever heard her referred to as anything other than Katie (or the GOAT).
  7. What is this "roof" that you speak of? I can't ever remember one of the ones we used having one. Looking at you I-20 between Monahans and Fort Worth...
  8. You have to appreciate the honesty. Hope the cameraman obliged...
  9. I'm guessing the turf monster bit her square on the ass with that fall, and she has a strawberry in a most unfortunate location...
  10. The hard hat in this situation is the chef's kiss.
  11. Agreed. Born and raised in TX and never liked Dr. Pepper. Too syrup-y/not enough carbonation. Now DIET Dr. Pepper, on the other hand, is fabulous.
  12. Brisket, ya think it may be time to mix in a little decaf? Just sayin'.
  13. I don't hate it. I love the lime green rather than kelly green with the all whites. Would prefer the old school 70's flying worm eagle as the logo on the helmet, though.
  14. He's had enough that an incident like this didn't automatically lead to a post in the shart thread.
  15. Rule, meet exception.
  16. Wow, that last one gets it all dusty in here. That dude is a bona fide hero.
  17. If they are fast enough to play a zone defense, Florida will take them right now.
  18. Update update: Just got home from Best Buy/Geek Squad. Installed without any major issues. It has the option to connect via Bluetooth or USB (a USB-A female wire is now sticking out on the passenger side next to the glove box - I think I can tuck it essentially out of sight if I end up never using it. When paired via Bluetooth and set to Auto Pair, the screen immediately shows Apple CarPlay as soon as I start the car. The main menu gives a screen mirroring option that makes me wonder if it could show video with the associated audio coming through the speakers. The audio all comes through the Aux input, so all other options are still available. Downsides - so far I haven't been able to bring the OEM navigation up on the screen, but that is not a problem since I prefer Waze/Google Maps/Apple Maps. Also, the buttons on the steering wheel to answer and hang up on a phone call do not appear to work, but its not an issue to do it with the CarPlay controls the same way you do everything else. Road trip Sunday and Monday for a college visit for my 17 year old daughter (no pics), will report more after some real world experience. So far, I am quite gruntled - well worth the $500 for the unit and $150 installation in my mind.
  19. I can't remember ever seeing a service academy's opponent try to go 'military' in their look for their game against said service academy. Odd. I don't hate the helmet, though.
  20. All the headlines I saw when I work up this morning referred to attacks against Israeli soccer fans. No mention of the hooliganism. Good to see our media machine is still fair and unbiased.
  21. Ahh, the Vote of Confidence. When has that ever not worked?
  22. Texas 28 Florida 13 Florida offense - 189 yards Cover the spread. Moral victory. How soon 'til the offseason?
  23. Those sound like they have serious potential. As if I needed another reason to be surly for not living anywhere hear an HEB...
  24. If that cameraman doesn't have a Surly handle, he needs one. Something tells me he would fit in just fine around here.
