  1. Pretty sure Austrians invented croissants. And I dunno where lattes were invented, but if you've ever had cafe sua da after a big bowl of pho, you'll come away believing the Vietnamese perfected the coffee-based drink.
  2. Yeah, that brisket looks awful. All the same, I'm enjoying your Former TM Top 50 BBQ tour, @GreenspointTexas. Keep them coming. Hope you find a bona fide winner before it's over.
  3. Remember a year ago, when Pulisic first went to AC Milan and many were worried if Leao would keep Christian on the bench? Fast forward to today and you see the sort of highlights that @ztejas shared, with both players featured simultaneously. Credit Puli for working hard, getting better, staying healthy and proving to Pioli that he deserved any minute he could get. But let's also credit Pioli for recognizing how Christian is special and finding a way to get both Leao and Pulisic on the pitch at the same time. The right boss makes all the difference.
  4. Who are two people who have never been in my kitchen?
  5. Are you combining conference tournament titles with regular season conference titles? One or the other, not both. Bad form, Peter.
  6. The centrifugal-flow Nene was superior to the axial-flow BMW 003 or Jumo 004 in terms of power and reliability, but in terms of future growth and technology in the aviation industry, ze Germans und Hans von Ohain took the better path. The Brits were terribly naive in donating a Nene, imo.
  7. 4 SIAA titles 2 TIAA titles 57 SWC titles 10 Big 12 titles Pretty sure that adds up to 73, not 80.
  8. Agreed. Inka is so regarded. It's almost as bad as those who punctuate improperly. Like this gem I just read: Like OMG, what an idoit! Let's just hope this villain doesn't start using his exclamation points haphazardly.
  9. No, actually, it's not. I believe there have been 76 College World Series. Texas has appeared in 38 of them, so right at 50 percent. Texas has been playing baseball for 129 seasons and won conference crowns 73 times, a 56.6 percent clip. In that context, Pierce standing at 50 percent for both metrics seems "definitely on par" with the program's historical average. It's not better, but it's on par.
  10. Naw. The Fire [Insert Coach Name Here] Thread would get work regardless of Texas' pedigree unless said coach has a couple of championships under his belt. For example, Pierce has been to Omaha and won the conference half the seasons he's coached, right? That's definitely on par--or better--than the program's historical average. Yet the Fire David Pierce thread gets work whenever Texas has a bad weekend. And that trend will continue until he wins a title (or two).
  11. It's just fandom in a nutshell. Consider: the baseball forum.
  12. Why do y'all say this? How many times do @Pancho and others need to 'splain it no worky that way in hoops?
  13. Eh. K-State isn't great but they aren't shitty, either. Borderline tourney teams aren't shitty, imo. I just hate that they (probably) punched their ticket at our expense. I'll be rooting loudly for ISU and the Fighting Als to deliver some comeuppance tomorrow.
  14. Zooming in, shape of head and eyes seem wrong for a venomous species. I'd suggest harmless. Only one way to find out, though ...
  15. Man, that sucked. Hope next week goes better.
  16. Ahahahaha Fran with the immediate validation.
