  1. I wonder if Vingo just doesn't go as fast because he's a bit gun shy after his huge crash. I would be.
  2. Damn ... the best porterhouse steak I ever had in my life was at Gibson's on Rush street.
  3. Do you need a drunken Irish folk singer?
  4. Michael Corcoran has died. He was a one-of-a-kind music critic for decades here in Austin, a gadfly in the best sense of the word. He knew everybody and everything about everybody. He was a badass that even to be an object of his scorn was somehow special. I saw him at a Shinyribs show in early May but I spoke with him on the phone less than two weeks ago when he called to tell me that he'd heard Jewel Brown was ailing. He was also a scholar: his books "All Over the Map" and "Ghost Notes" are two of the best books ever written about Texas music. I crib from them for Traces of Texas all the time, shamelessly. I told him so and he said "I wouldn't have it any other way." He was just about to finish a third one about Austin music history. It was to be published in early September. His essays on all manner of Texas music were definitive. One of my readers said that, when somebody dies, we lose a library. With Michael's death, we're losing not just a library but a museum. I am heartbroken. Damn. RIP Corky.
  5. While I appreciate the sentiment, that seems like wishcasting. Oklahoma may not be in the Southeast, but they are directly north of the DFW metroplex, which has 8.2 million people --- and that doesn't include talent-rich East Texas. They'll get theirs.
  6. Pederson really misjudged how far it was to the finish. He had it with 100 meters left but started to wilt just a little bit and Girmay surged past him. Great stage win for Biniam and for Intermarché-Wanty
  7. Seems like Farrell doesn't think Texas can destroy the SEC. I take that kind of personally.
  8. You scare me, man.
  9. The actress who played Lois appeared nude in Playboy about 15 years ago. They were real and they were spectacular.
  10. Pretty neat article on Marco Jones
  11. Rough sport. I can't believe they let the spectators into that area.
  12. The past is prologue. The muppets knew!
  13. At least two reasons 1) Flood's track record 2) there are a lot more good IOL than IDL
  14. Now that I get my seats in advance, I don't show up until 20 minutes after the scheduled start time. So far, have not missed a second of the movies. Usually just there for one more ad, maybe two.
  15. All is lost. Der Krieg ist verloren.
  16. C.J. Vogel tweeted this photo of Quinn and Bill Belichek
  17. 1) We've recruited ridiculously well at DB over the last two cycles, so it's only natural that some of that catches up to us 2) Last year at this time Xavier Filsaime wasn't even being thought of by anybody on this board, so perhaps cool your tits.
  18. It's true. I was searching for Musical Youth and right after "the Dutchie" in "Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side" the website went blank.
  19. I want to see Cavendish get one more win, punch Jesper's teeth in, and Allaphillipe's gf take her clothes off in celebration of Cavendish punching Jesper's teeth in.
