  1. Best laugh I've had so far today. Thanks.
  2. Just got the word that my build is scheduled for Oct. 24, so at least the ball is starting to roll. We'll see if things stay on schedule. I won't be holding my breath . . .
  3. Any recs on restaurants and bars? I've got everything else covered.
  4. Obviously. But it won't to Texas. I recall what happened the last time Texas played in Collie Station . . .
  5. Next we'll be reading about how the Texas defense also returned multiple fumbles for touchdowns. I guess I've gotta start watching the games closer. I'm missing all kinds of scoring that occurred in aggy world.
  6. Didn't want to create a new thread just for this, so I figured I'd put it here. It gave me a laugh. Knowing the type of, uh, unique individual Bader was, the story is probably true.
  7. The lulz just keep coming. Crowing about the Texas offense only scoring 38. Yeah, did ya notice that we pulled all of our offensive starters, including the QB, midway through the 3rd quarter?
  8. It's amusing to see how fast they've turned on King, who was the Golden Child as of last Friday. And Sam Houston State is a goddam juggernaut, I tell you!
  9. Sir, please contact our office to resolve some seriously overdue parking fines. Sincerely, UTPD Parking Enforcement

    My wife (no pics) loves 80's music in general but doesn't care for Squeeze. It's one of her only flaws. (She does, however, like the song "Tempted," so maybe there's hope.) Several terrific Squeeze songs are mentioned above. Here's another one.
  11. Best 3-9 team in the country is . . . still the best 3-9 team in the country.
  12. Generally panned at first, but now considered to be an underrated classic by some. It's not What's Going On (not much is), but I wouldn't call it shitty. When Did You Stop Loving Me is one of my favorite MG songs, for example. The emotions are definitely raw on that album, so it can be a tough listen at first. I always thought one of the most interesting facts relating to it was that Anna Gordy considered suing for invasion of privacy after it was released. That says a lot, IMO.
  13. The "worthless conference" that aggy won once in 16 seasons . . .
  14. The Vikings just traded for Nick Mullens. That should tell you what the new coaching regime thinks of Mond (as well as Sean Mannion, the other backup QB on the roster.) Mond actually played fairly well in Minnesota's first preseason game -- he started slow but ended up throwing two TD passes. But it was against backups. In the second preseason game on Saturday (again facing second and third-teamers), he was awful. Threw two picks, both of which were completely his fault. Just terrible decisions. So far he's a complete waste of a third round pick.
  15. Given Jimbo's fully-guaranteed mega-contract, ya gotta love that one aggy's reference to Sark wheedling $30-40M out of Texas. The very definition of irony.
  16. Cam Robinson and Jonah Williams started as true frosh as well. Saban will start a true frosh O-lineman if the kid is a stud and he's the best option at the position. But it's pretty rare.

    One of the rare Smithereens songs written solely by guitarist Jim Babjak. A real gem.
  18. I'm sure some of you hopheads probably already knew about this brewery, but I didn't so I'm linking it here, dammit. I have no idea if their beers are any good, but the name is a good start. https://surlybrewing.com/
