  1. Iceland, at least when they play Nigeria next Friday and I stand in a Reykjavik drizzle with a bunch of Icelandarianites or whatever the hell they are, hopefully drinking something and not eating rotten shark fin. (Will be rooting for Denmark for family reasons and because a good friend is a dirty Swede bastard; will be in Torshavn for their game against Australia but the Faroe Islanders may not give a shit about their semi-countrymen. Or maybe they will.)
  2. This is the correct response. WOOF! Was pretty sure I'd never see the UW make it to Omaha. The UW president tweeted her congrats within 30 seconds after the game. Love having a president who is loved by the academic side and loves sports herself.
  3. Hubris, thy name is aggy.
  4. OU, UO, whatever it takes. filthy bastids, the lot of 'em.
  5. Been to all of 'em - most I'd happily go back to (not all, oh no, not all). Guam and American Samoa, you're next.
  6. Apple Cup's in Pullman this year. It's usually fun.... (I'd go to a UW game at any/all of the Big 12 schools...the only question really is what ones I'd return to. Based on what I've heard, ISU would be one of those.)
  7. $75 million guaranteed. Plus New Zealand.
  8. Why bother with poaching teams, either direction? Big 12 and Pac 12 would be well-served by developing a strong cross-conference media arrangement and interconference scheduling. No need to trash either one or create an unwieldy mega-conference. Keep the conferences' strengths while shoring up each other's perceived weaknesses (Pac-12's lack of reach into strong football regions; Big 12's perceived ""poachability."). The conferences can remain the regional ones we all prefer with a partnership that strengthens them both.
  9. The Czechs clearly have issues with the poles.
  10. I was impressed by Modster last season. Not sure how things will shake out for him down the road, but I'd think he'll probably win the job with Speight as insurance. It will be interesting to see what Kelly ends up doing with your guys going forward.
  11. Thanks for starting up this thread again! We're headed down for our first visit the weekend before Memorial Day, then to Zihuatanejo for Memorial Day weekend. Lots of great information in the old threads and we're really looking forward to it. A bit farther from Seattle than from Texas, but flights are cheap and it sounds like a blast. Thanks also for the informative post, FWD. Pos emojis for all!
  12. Was in Inverness over New Year's and got to see real shaggy bevos when I was there, and it pleased me no end. Loved the Shaggybevo name and avatar, and ShaggyTexas was fine too because Texas. But I thought when all the shit came down on blacklab that the bunch of assholes would be forever disbanded, and it pissed me off. I'm amazed at how quickly almost everybody seemed to make it over here, and now I can go back to happily lurking, figuring out how to get to Texas-Oklahoma someday so I can shout you lot a round, and studiously avoiding the Cloak Room's new incarnation. Oh, and random tites. ¡Viva Surly!
  13. He was a hell of a coach. Posted these years ago at the old shaggy homestead, but thought I'd do it again here if you don't mind. These are pages from the game program for the UW - Illinois game at Husky Stadium in 1956 (my grandfather took his little girl - my Mom - to that game and she brought back this program). That was DKR's one and only year here before heading to the Forty Acres; until Sark bailed on us (we survived) he was the last coach that left here for another school of his own volition. Hook 'em, DKR - and thanks for spending a year here!
  14. How do you make all the infuriating Baylor shit you see on the Baylor Rape Academy thread even worse? Add some gotdamn realignment crap to it. shit.
  15. That's precisely my scale as well - we just rarely get "hot" or "cold" here, and never "cold as fuck." It has been known to rain at times, however....
  16. FIFH. (Not the toilet, I ain't going in that weevil-ridden cesspool of a "home." Reminds me of what the Shag looks like now.)
  17. Geoguessr is the tits. Except when it plops you in Russia. Gotdam Cyrillic. i designed an ugly-ass kit-of-parts building in College Station early in my career. But hey, it was College Station, sucks to be them. I also think South Carolina mustard sauce is the appropriate condiment for pulled pork.
  18. Clearly no Stoops brother was on the committee.
  19. Got this dead ringer for Likely Drunk Sark off of EDSBS back when he was leading UW halfway back from the depths his predecessor brought us to. Plus, my then-4 year old niece was into "lemoos." Have kept it ever since, because lemoos are pretty cool as it turns out. Flatdogs is the name of a kickass safari camp in Zambia, "flatdog" being a Zambian term for crocodile. Loved the place and a slight modification of the name turned it into a suitable representation of my alma mater.
  20. I'm not from 'round here - is HEB open or nah?
  21. Loved hearing BL (no homo). Best tree fiddy I ever spent to help get him out of the Eskimo Hut shitshow. Drinks on me if he's ever up in Seattle. Nice job by the hosts too with the bingo card...
