  1. Damn straight. Wanting to understand the lyrics and the culture was a big impetus to me (tropicalia and MBP as well). So... I cheer for Brasil and all my normal friends say to hell with that - more mayhem plz! Isso também.
  2. I find the same thing trying to understand Spanish... I'm better than I was but still there are enough differences to really mess me up. I'm by no means fluent or even close, so I'll defer to the Brasileiros here, but what I was attempting to say was "besides that, what else was there to do during the pandemic?"
  3. Hell, ass is still sore from last year!
  4. Por causa adoro a música e a cultura do Brasil (e por extensão Portugal, Cabo Verde, etc.) Considerando a relocalização para Portugal um dia. Além disso, o que mais havia a fazer durante a pandemia?
  5. Happy Dead Bird Day from the upper corner to the lot of you degenerate bastids. Thankful to have good friends, family - and this place to get away from all that crap. Football and futebol today, then on the road tomorrow to Saturday's Apple Cup. May you all enjoy this day and may next Thanksgiving find you with even more to be thankful for.
  6. Can't stand Neymar and I normally pull for the underdogs in any case, but while learning Portuguese I found out what an amazing country Brasil is... plus Serbia is full of gotdam vatniks. Normally I'll pull for the upset but not today.
  7. Picked up some Portugal team swag while living in Tavira this summer. Força Portugal!
  8. Up here we call that "football weather." It's always fun when the LA or AZ teams come up in October/November. (Actually it sucks, but we didn't really have it this season.)

    Portugal? Sagres and Super Bock are marginally better than Bud, so they might drink it if it's free, but Portugal is a wine country. Much of the rest of the world would rightfully revolt, and they should be supported in that action should it ever come to that. I'd still rather have a Quilmes or Brahma than a Bud, but I could see Argentina/Brasil looking the other way especially if it were free. 😝
  11. Shit, to preserve the infinitesimal chance that UW makes the CCG, I have to pull for Oregon and USC today. FML. (Narrator: It ain't happening, so to hell with that.)
  12. Lulz. With two weeks left, the 12-team Pac could still finish in a 5-way tie with a not unlikely series of results. There's literally a large flow chart out there with a myriad of if-then possibilities; it's hard to even know whom to root for. 16 teams? That should be fun.

    Ahhhh as brasileiras. Beleza. I'd love to visit Floripa next visit, no question. I attended a Flamengo - Fluminense match at the Maracanã in 2015 and don't recall beer anywhere, although there was a messed-up teen who occasionally stumbled over to the fence between the sections to flip off the opposing fans. He was so trashed that even the cops were laughing as they brought him back to his buddies - wasn't even worth kicking him out.
  14. "Well, Mattia - what do you think we should do?"
  15. Thanks - the Bruins put us to the sword but the ASU game was infuriating. DeBoer getting a statement win in his first season - outstanding. Apple Cup in Pullman is going to be a challenge. Looking forward to you guys taking care of SC again.
  16. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ahahahahahaha happy happy joy joy WOOF (SB, my brother lives in Eugene and made the same decision you did - what the hell, might as well go to Autzen. Think he had a pretty good time.)
  17. It was Lake, not Kwiatkowski. Listened to him say it on the post-game show driving out of Pullman.
  18. Yep. He's a bit toxic so the offsets may or may not come into play, but he's an indisputably good DBs coach who didn't care to recruit much as a HFC. He'll land somewhere. There were some thoughts/discussions re playing hardball with him, but ultimately the school didn't want that look.
  19. Washington fired Jimmy Lake during the season, in only his second year, the proximate cause being his going Woody Hayes/Frank Kush on a player on the sideline during a game. Certainly that was grounds for firing with cause (turned out there were other reasons as well). The UW AD still decided to negotiate a buyout rather than get into that entire mess, which probably made more sense in the long run - cut the ties ASAP and both sides move on. On the other hand, Texas A&M.
  20. I find this extremely difficult to disagree with. But I'll probably go anyway.
  21. I... I just can't even... Now, I'm a bit far from Texas (although I do know a couple of aggy even up here). But every time I try to explain this thread/A&M to someone I just get this look like "that can't really be." But they actually write this shit themselves, like it's normal. "Hey! The pumpkin head thing we do is funny - but what if'n we tried to whomp it off his head with some ax handles?" I don't know whether to laugh or what. Okay, yeah I do. I laugh. Then I think hell, it could be worse. They could have used actual axes.
  22. I like purple teams. Well, a purple team. And Texas would rotohammer our skulls.
  23. Meh, I root for almost assuredly the worst 6-2 team in the country (they'll probably only win one more), so getting only 1 AP vote seems about right to me.
  24. Well, it's just another Russian oblast, so yeah. And still no washing machines. Pretty good dryers, though.
