  1. Farmer 84 never saw a bigger choke. Farmer 84 must not have witnessed this game.
  2. I did not realize Jack Lee had written this song. Thanks for dropping this knowledge on me.
  3. This news probably deserves its own thread, IMO, but I'll put it here for now. RIP Jack Lee. And fuck cancer. https://pitchfork.com/news/the-nerves-jack-lee-who-penned-hanging-on-the-telephone-dies-at-71/
  4. Ran across this video of a German lass covering Led Zeppelin's "Rain Song," and I dig it. She's got a nice voice.
  5. Looking forward to this, but the voice/accent Leo is using is going to bug the shit out of me.
  6. If that post is legit . . . it's yet another example of how pervasive and twisted aggy's envy of Texas is -- willing acceptance of an aggy loss in a regional championship game (with the accompanying loss of any shot of making it to the CWS) if it will prevent Texas from winning an award that aggy won't come within miles of sniffing.
  7. "The brand recruits itself." What "brand" is that, pray tell? The one that hasn't won a NC since 1939?
  8. I'd love to say you're right, but it was a complete brain aneurysm on my part.
  9. Glad to see the OSU coach finally lifted the pitcher who had given up 4 dingers.
  10. Yeah, getting ahead of myself
  11. Texas the first team to punch its ticket to the supers
  12. Thank you for posting this because I had not heard of First Aid Kit. That's a beautiful song.
  13. I do not really care where the first game with aggy is played, but now I'm in the "I want it to be in Austin simply so I can witness the complete Texags meltdown that will follow" camp.
  14. He wasn't paying her to talk.
  15. There's so much to laugh at in those posts, but one in particular caused me to chuckle out loud -- the ag rube who said he would prefer to have Bama as the chief rival. To the extent Bama even thinks about aggy (which is probably only in the week leading up to their games), how far down Bama's list of rivals is aggy? They would certainly come after Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, Miss. State, and Ole Miss -- that's at least six schools off the top of my head that Bama considers rivals ahead of poor aggy. There are probably others that I'm not even thinking about.
  16. You need to be cheering for a meteor strike in that situation.
  17. The ags who claim that Texas hates aggy more than OU are confusing derision with hatred.
  18. Yep. I didn't like a single one of the characters. And I still watched it.
  19. I suspect that the following phrase that was once applied to Jack-in-the-Box tacos in a newspaper article also aptly describes the so-called Denver Sandwich: "Vile and amazing."
  20. Watching as much of Band of Brothers as I can while I do shit around the house, and I'm recognizing and appreciating the sacrifices that so many made.
  21. Would be interested in reading a rundown of your 300 miles, your gear, your thoughts about what went right and what went wrong, etc., etc.
