  1. aggy has a 5-5 conference record against Ole Miss since joining the SEC and a 5-6 record against klan aggy. (There's a difference in the number of games aggy has played against the two schools because the 2020 game against Ole Miss got canceled, but aggy did play MSU that season.) aggy beat both Mississippi schools in Jimbo's second year as HC (2019). The ags also beat both Mississippi schools in Sumlin's first two seasons. But aggy hasn't beat a Mississippi school since the 2020 covid season. They're 0-4 in the last four games. MSU has a multi-year starter returning at QB and has won at College Station two of the last three times they've played there. I think it's pretty foolish of any aggy to think that game is an automatic win, but then again "foolish" and "aggy" are basically synonymous.
  2. Caught the documentary last night, and it's very good. Would have liked to have heard a little more about his Buffalo days & his wanderings before he got to SF, but the filmmaker only had so much time. PC's explanation for one of the reasons the Nerves didn't make it was interesting. Said their music was too edgy for the older folks/hippies, but Collins wanted them to wear suits, which didn't go over well with the punks. So they were basically shunned by everyone. LOL I also would have liked to have heard from his Plimsouls bandmates. I have no idea what kind of relationship Pete has with the other guys these days. At one point in the film, Jack Lee makes a crack about Pete probably being on the outs with Eddie Munoz. I think he was joking, but I wonder if there's some truth to it. I thought it was interesting that they put Lee on the screen quite a bit, but Paul Collins is only on for about five seconds. And the footage from the studio of Lady Blackbird and Chris Pierce doing "Two Angels" is fantastic.
  3. Until today, Steele had been nails for the most part. He got shelled today, but that shouldn't really detract from an otherwise-stellar first couple of months. Stroman has been pretty solid as well. Cubs have gotten absolutely shellacked the last two days.
  4. This. It bears repeating that in 16 seasons in the Big 12, aggy won precisely one conference championship in football.
  5. Give him time. Freese can play just about anything, but he's probably still settling in to an extent with the FF catalog.
  6. Yep, and "Two Daughters and a Beautiful Wife" is about the murders of Bryan Harvey (of House of Freaks) and his wife and daughters, although it doesn't specifically mention him. I'd also like to add:
  7. For those of you who, like me, love the music of the Plimsouls and Peter Case as a solo artist, this documentary is supposedly dropping tomorrow (5/23) on a bunch of different platforms, including AT&T U-Verse, DirecTV, Dish Network, and Sling TV. For me, the Plimsouls will always be one of those "bands that should have been huge." And as a songwriter, I think Pete is an American treasure. Really looking forward to seeing this documentary.
  8. This is an underrated post. Well played.
  9. What's going on is that they are aggys. Science cannot fully explain it.
  10. It's been years since I've eaten there, but Salt Lick was always inconsistent, IMO. The last time I was there the food was actually pretty good. The two times before that, though, it was downright meh. And then there were other occasions even earlier when it was pretty good -- never great, but not shitty, either. I always assumed it was due in part to who was manning the pit on a particular night.
  11. Anyone hoisting anything in particular for Cinco de Drinko? I have precisely one bottle of mescal (Ilegal Reposado), some Corralejo tequila, and a few Pacificos that have been marinating in the fridge since the last time my son was over and we had a few beers. That'll have to do.
  12. 16 foot python -- and that's not a record in the Glades. No thanks to wrestling a snake that size, esp. in the dark. https://www.yahoo.com/news/absolute-monster-video-shows-trapper-152638472.html
  13. I'm with you on this. The Griptilian blade shape is a little too sheepsfoot-y for my taste, but overall I like the knife.
  14. Yep -- price is one big reason I don't own a Bugout. Will have to check out the Terminus.
  15. Finally got a Benchmade after all these years -- a Griptilian that was a gift. It's about the same size of some other "large" folders I have, but doesn't weigh nearly as much. I can understand why some aren't enamored with the handle material, but the handle doesn't really bother me, plus it helps keep the overall weight of the knife down, which is one of the main reasons I like the knife. Still jonesing for a Bugout, which to me is a much cleaner looking knife than the Griptilian.
  16. Fuck that guy and fuck the District Attorney for agreeing to that plea agreement.

    Power Pop

    The live version of that song on Music for Hangovers is really good, too.
  18. Really thought Ojomo would be gone by now.
  19. Your mom says you're not supposed to use that kind of language.
