  1. Does anyone know a good site to get analysis on ATS, W/L, home/away, etc results for college basketball this season? I'm specifically interested in finding straight-up W/L% for home teams favored by 8-10 points. I found something that had straight-up win% based on what the spread was, but there was no way to further filter home vs away. Curious if there is some master set of data available or you can pay for and analyze from various angles.
  2. My Aunt died over the weekend of Pancreatic cancer. Diagnosed 4 years ago @ Stage 4. A bit of a miracle she lasted as long as she did. The kick in the teeth was she was diagnosed 3 months after burying my uncle, who died of Mesothelioma. He lasted 3 years. It got me thinking that their kids (my cousins) have spent the last 7 years of their life caring for a parent they knew had a death sentence. Fucking brutal. They are ~33 and 35 now, so that is prime years of their life likely spent in sadness. I think they met both of their spouses around the same time my uncle was diagnosed, so that's been all they know. My hope is they can start to live the life they haven't really had a chance to the past 7 years.
  3. Even after about my 500th viewing, all those old videos are better than 95% of what's posted in this thread.
  4. I mean, it sounds like a goat getting castrated...or at least that's how I imagine a goat sounding when it's nuts get chopped off. How those news people weren't doubled in laughter over is truly amazing. Pure professionals, although their concern was clearly fake. Grape Lady must not be well liked at the office.
  5. Having a pretty shitty day, so watching Pinky and then googling the grape lady video is turning my attitude around. I had forgotten just how awful the noise was in the grape lady video
  6. Did you put the pork into the oven in the same pot as you marinaded? i.e. you didn't strain anything, right? That looks amazing
  7. Fucking pumped. After a 3 year hiatus, we'll be hitting Crested Butte for 3 days of skiing in early March. And the flip side of that emotion is I just had a work trip to France last week, including a day and a half in Grenoble. I considered arriving a day early to go skiing because...well, how often do you find yourself at the base of the French Alps? But I've been traveling a lot and was already going to be gone for a full week, so I didn't want to press my luck with the wife. I didn't even mention it to her. The day before I left she asked me, "are you arriving early so you can go skiing? That would be fun." I felt like I got kicked in the balls.
  8. Bru never actually signed a NLI at USC, did he? That's a pretty big difference between most cases and his. He enrolled at USC, said fuck this shit I'm going to Texas, and transferred before classes closed at Texas. This should be a no-brainer
  9. I distinctly remember posters on Texags stating as fact that the NIT championship was so important because the winner got an automatic berth into the real tournament the following year. 1 or 2 posters put it out there, and the other dumbshits that post on their basketball board accepted it as fact until a couple of other people gave them the sad reality. It was like a day or two before someone corrected them.
  10. Clemson isn't a bad school. Now these guys may major in Underwater Basket Weaving for all I know, but shitty degrees are available at any state school.
  11. All things relative. And relative to the Bay Area, Austin housing prices are dirt cheap. Stanford is a fantastic school obviously, but unless you live in SF, the rest of the Bay Area is pretty uneventful. It's a concrete jungle, traffic is 10x worse than austin, and it's pretty boring.

  13. Richard was friends with a guy that lived on my floor at Dobie and used to come hang out in our room. He must have brought Richard over 6-8 times, and every time Richard would complain that he'd be starting if he'd had gone to Tennessee instead. The guy was not bright and was a complete fatass. He struck me as being completely lazy, but I never saw him on a football field.
  14. They might have won it and you didn't realize it. Check with TheFlyingBoat
  15. I would like to completely rescind my "this post did not age well" comment. The guy sold 2 houses in 1 year. It's time to recognize him for the hustler he is.
  16. I was on the road to a family gathering listening in the car. I believe that was the first time my son (3 or 4 at the time) heard me say the F word. As in "What the fuck are we DOING?!"
  17. I have no idea about their volume percentages, but Twisted X is pulling off all the other stuff you described. I love hanging out there on a Sunday afternoon. The place is packed, live music, and kid friendly. I see their beer at HEB, but I don't know how widespread in the city it is. I know I can find it at the Circle C and Dripping HEBs, as well as the Shell station at 1826/Nutty Brown Rd.
  18. You're giving him credit for the NC last year? He's got a ring, I'll give you that.
  19. Props to the other 2 guys who powered through it as their friend puked off camera. The show must go on!! I completely lost it to the noise of him retching off camera. "Poor bastard". LOL
  20. If that futures bet is available while you're in Vegas, would you put $100 on it for me? I'm good for it.
