  1. You've never heard that you're not supposed to rename a boat, or you've never heard that there's some ceremony that should be performed? Because the former is longstanding maritime superstition. But I've never heard of any ceremony to break the bad luck. Anyway, I don't believe in any of that bulljive, and I think tbone should feel free to rename the boat. As long as that name is "Stabbin' Steve's Floating Playground."
  2. As I recall, 2000 was both cold and rainy. I bailed in the 4th quarter to go hang in the car show whilst drinking about 13 more wax cup beers. Walked past some open terminals in some computer expo, that had internet capability, and went directly to the Inside Texas message board to bitch about the game and demand that Mack Brown be fired (probably). The next Debacle in Dallas, I didn't even bother bailing. Almost all the Texas fans were gone including my entire group, but I looked up about 12 rows from where I was sitting and saw Robert Brewer sitting there with one of my friends, we were the last 3 people across almost two entire Cotton Bowl sections. So I sat through the entire second half chatting with my bud and Robert Brewer, not even surprised at the shitshow on the field. It was actually quite a pleasant afternoon once you got past the 65-13 final score.

    First 2 hours of MTV

    The commercials are almost as awesome as the videos. Such a time capsule.
  4. Eh, you've lived in Texas long enough to know that 95-100 is football weather in Texas. This isn't Chicago or the Midwest. The leaves just burn up, turn brown, and fall off the trees here. HOWEVER, a game that kicks off near 70 and ends in the mid 80s, will feel delightful, and I will thank the football gods both old and new, if that happens.
  5. Real Ale is solid and Devil's Backbone is one of the best beers in Texas.
  6. Yeah we've talked about position penalties here as well. I think that would close some of the gap between severity of crime and punishment. It's still all so subjective that I'm not sure there's any "great" solution. But man it would have made me so much happier last year in Austin, if the steward came across the radio and said, "Russell, retire the car. Your race is forfeit, because you're an asshole."
  7. Five. And just leave the stadium and go to the bathrooms in the Fair. Tower Building restrooms are fine during the game, except at halftime.
  8. I agree he was brilliant at it, but I'm not sure I agree that he was lost. Folks have praised him for nailing this character type in other 80s-movie related threads, most recently the Die Hard thread, as I recall. He was just so perfect at it.
  9. Yeah the pigs won 20-10 at Jerryworld in 2021, same year they humiliated Texas 41-20 in FayetteNam. That's their only win against the ags since the "100 year decision" but they also won all three in Arlington immediately before the big move.
  10. Rename that boat at your own risk. Or do whatever you like.
  11. Maybe? Not sure. Texas sacrificed something like 20K normal seats by building out the south endzone the way it did, rather than bowling it in to match the NEZ. The UT powers that be saw no need for a 120K stadium in the current environment and chose a revenue-maximizing plan rather than a capacity-maximizing plan.
  12. Following a discussion on Autosport totally smacks of effort. We'll just let you follow, distill, and summarize for us, over here on the surl.
  13. Absolute bullshit. Still makes me ragey.
  14. Well holy shit, we finally have an explanation for why the ags got a goalpost shoved up their ass in Lubbock-- they hadn't trained for that kind of altitude. And I'll add that my inlaws are aggies and they absolutely love their trips up to Colorado. It's their favorite roadtrip-- my FIL says he'd be fine if A&M played every game up there. Of course, he's not a thin-skinned raging douchebag like all the tough guys on texags, and he manages to get along fine with fans of other schools.
  15. Yup, I was absolutely livid when I saw that.
  16. Yup. Removing the ag blinders regarding the myth of the "SEC gauntlet" and the "SEC grind" is going to be one of the most fun parts of Texas joining the SEC. Not that they'll actually ever be able to acknowledge their idiocy.
  17. I don't know, I think some of those folks actually believed they were landing all that talent because kids really do, honestly love... Baton Rouge. So, some of them are just stupid, but not dishonest hypocrites. What's most annoying though, is that these slapdicks from other states feel they are somehow entitled to any player in Texas they want, and that The University of Texas shouldn't have anything to say about that. That's what decades of a tilted, SEC-bag-filled recruiting landscape has taught them, and watching them attempt to adapt to the new reality, is amusing and delicious..
  18. I bring mine with me. You're on your own for yours. Not a great picture, but the Gonzales flag is tucked away to the right, not blowing as nicely as I'd like. Here's another one, this was for NASCAR hence the Mustang flag, but of course even for NASCAR, the Ferrari flag must fly.
  19. Yeah I might consider not going, if we had to deal with all that stuff. As it is, we've settled in on a solution that mitigates most of the problems and allows for us to have maximum fun.
  20. Ha! I wish I didn't know. At this point, I'm taking 3 full days off (Thus, Fri, Mon) and sometimes a half day on the Wednesday before. It's basically a 5-day tailgate party for us, out in the RV lot.
  21. In the spirit of fair competition, I absolutely believe the severity of the incident-- the damage done by the at-fault driver, to the race of the victim driver-- should be comprehended into the severity of the penalty. If your "shitty move" ends someone's race, then the penalty should be stronger than if your "shitty move" just costs them 15 second on the track. At the same time, I recognize the difficulty in making a call that is so subjective. I don't know that there's a really good way to implement that.
