  1. Snek snaks?
  2. He could/should have boiled it down to, "He's going to miss the rest of the season." But he didn't because he knows he needs to give his sycophant subscribers a reason why he didn't report it earlier ("there was a chance he might come back before the end of the season"), no matter how much BS it is.
  3. That doesn't make me feel one bit better. Wait . . . which one of us is supposed to feel depressed?
  4. You're thwarting me in my efforts to make you feel depressed over the state of ISU football, and I don't like it.
  5. Yeah, but we haven't been rooting for our respective teams for just the past decade. Feel depressed now?
  6. I just assumed he was getting paid good money to go.
  7. "Two diffurnt seasons, ya stupid sip. App State coulda/woulda/shoulda won the NC last season -- they were that good."
  8. I believe it.
  9. I don't drink a ton of straight rye, so I don't have the comparison baselines that some other posters have. That said, the Frey Ranch straight rye ($50-60) has grown on me. The nose is still funky, but I've grown to like how it tastes after initially thinking it was merely okay. I get a fair amount of caramel and vanilla, which suits me. And as an added bonus, the bottle can be used as a weapon once you drink the juice. Seriously, whacking someone upside the head with that heavy bottle might kill a mofo.
  10. Auburn QB is ass
  11. Wow, kudos to that dude for coming back from such a horrendous accident.
  12. Oh, it's nonsense for a variety of reasons that a shutdown would grind the prosecution to a halt. The point is that how pathetic and revealing it is for Drumpf to attempt to avoid prosecution on this basis.
  13. Trump exhorting 'Pubs to let the shutdown happen, hoping it will interfere with the government's ability to proceed with the prosecutions. Anyone surprised even the least little bit? True colors. What a POS. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-led-longest-government-shutdown-141158834.html
  14. I don't think anyone is suggesting that they're anywhere near the band now that they were then. They were at the height of their powers in the Beggars-Bleed-Sticky-Exile run.
  15. Don't know about Baylor's overall team speed, but their wideouts are pretty fast. Jackson runs sub-4.4. That little waterbug Baldwin is even faster. They're both faster than anyone in the Texas secondary AFAIK. That said, I'm not particularly worried. The secondary is playing at a high level right now in terms of assignment discipline, tackling, and angles to the football. A pass rush will certainly help. I'm reading that Baylor's right side of the OL is not particularly great. PK needs to scheme some stress on it.
  16. Aggy managed to beat both in the same season in 2019. But your larger point, i.e., that it's ridiculous for ag posters to pencil in victories this season against both Ole Miss and klan aggy given that it's a rare occurrence, remains legitimate IMO.
  17. Just got back from car camping a couple nights in the White Mountains. Dark sky was great -- the stars really popped at night. This shot is looking west at the start of the 4x4 trail heading down Silver Canyon to the Owens River valley and the town of Bishop. The mountains in the distance are the Sierra Nevada.
  18. Sounds like your will needs to be revised . . .
  19. Then there was this guy (formerly) named Ron Artest . . .
  20. He sure wasn't hyping aggy in that delicious mailbag response that I quoted. But, yeah, that comment about TexAgs is pretty embarrassing for him.
  21. From Stewart Mandel's mailbag on The Athletic website: Texas A&M keeps punishing me every time I choose them to win in my fantasy football contest. Are there any other top teams that I should avoid taking to win? — Timothy C. What is your criteria for “top teams,” and why was A&M ever in it?
  22. Other than Texas, it's definitely a down year in the Big 12 for receivers. Bradley (sand aggy) and Presley (okie lite) are legit, though.
  23. Suck it, Joey
