  1. Would be nice if they concentrated more on the weak referee work and horrendous announcers. Then the length of the game wouldn't be as important. Those two things often make watching games a beating. I have gotten to where I set it up at the start of the game and pause it. Then I go do something else for a while, and when i return, I can fast forward through the commercials and replay shit. I usually FF through the halftime drivel too, stopping for the updates on other games. It means I can't get involved with the game thread, so there is that downside.
  2. Even before JJ, the Cowboys didn't draft a lot of UT players. But even fewer after JJ. I was surprised to see how many Horns went to Philly.
  3. It will really start collapsing when professors start opting out of Texas schools and go to those who have tenure tracks. I thought first about how those kids couldn't engage in extra curricular things like athletics or other activities, not without a huge sacrifice of time from the parents to ferry their asses around. It would not surprise me if some are already thinking of boarding those kids who have to travel so far. Set up bare minimum barracks and charge out the ass to house and feed them. What the parents can't pay, the state will give them yet another voucher program. Basically a boarding school for the poors.
  4. I need to boost this. I just watched it and have to say how well it was done. Not only from his NBA side, but the work he did for civil rights. I was impressed by his writing, both books and newspaper articles. He was a well rounded, courageous man.
  5. A Man Called Horse was a different kind of western, but it really left an impression on younger me. Not exactly a Western, but Man from Snowy River was always a favorite of mine.
  6. And they had no problem assassinating VY's skillset, character and career to stay on Fischer's good side.
  7. I agree, but its part of his character's persona more than it is bad acting on his part. He got a SAG nomination for the role. I rate the seasons 1-4-2-3
  8. Soap, Taxi, Night Court (the original), Rockford Files, Quincy, Columbo, The Fugitive. I have a hardbound copy of M*A*S*H around somewhere. Army green cover with red cross on it. BBC classics like Are You Being Served, Fawlty Tours, The Avengers, Dr Who, Jeeves and Wooster and of course the old Benny Hill show with Hill's Angels. There was this one good show about an alcoholic socialite mother and her down to earth teen daughter. Maybe some of y'all remember the title. It was pretty funny.
  9. From Hell to Eternity. WW2 picture done in 1960. Typical acting for that time, but the story was pretty solid and it was a good thing to make the focal point of a movie. I caught it on TCM.
  10. Been binging on the Sinner. Pretty decent as far as detective stories go. Takes some literary license, but the stories in the first two seasons had some interesting plot twists. How they bring in Pullman's own past is well written. I'm on S3, and I will admit each season starts off very boggy, but picks up.
  11. That's pretty much what the Kama Sutra is about. Why on earth would we want to teach our kids these things when we can control them much better with ignorance and guilt?
  12. Yes, yes we should. We should be asking them if they have questions and answering them honestly. We teach our kids how to handle guns, how to cook, how to make money, how to do just about everything but we fail miserably at teaching them about sex, relationships and parenting. And generation after generation gets worse at it while the world now has so many other ways to fill in the voids, like the internet.
  13. A minute and a bit into the second half, Carr is outside the arc on the wing and Mitchell is there setting a screen. They called an offensive foul, but there was no word as to why, and the review went back to some WV grunt making a 3. I assume the foul was a moving screen on Mitchell?
  14. TD;cr. Too dumb, couldn't read.
  15. I enjoyed Woo. It took a few episodes to get everyone fully into character, but eventually there was some pretty nice character development. Most of the stories were pretty well thought out and not overly trite, so you weren't solving the whodunit 10 minutes into the show. I'm watching The Glory, which is another Korean series on revenge for childhood bullying. It's kind of hard to follow because so many of the names are similar. Like I can't even distinguish between female and male names, because Su Yo Loengu means nothing to me, not like Ted or Bill or Sue would. So it takes a while to get everyone sorted. That and the dubbing is really bad at times, really distracts. But the story seems good so far and makes me anticipate the next episode.
  16. If you have Showtime, George and Tammy was a good watch. I grew up listening to Tammy in particular, because she was my brother's favorite. I thought the whole thing was pretty well done, sure explained a lot of chemistry. Also a recommendation for The Hunters, since the last season is about to drop.
  17. This is cool, because I am just finishing season 1. Highly recommend.
  18. cringe, but thanks
  19. My guide is showing LSU/Kentucky at 8 tonight for ESPN. Is that it, or should I be looking elsewhere?
  20. They should get 10 average fans from each team and let them play it out on Madden 22. Average all the scores for the winner.
  21. While Abbott is busing north, a bus this past Thursday was headed towards Mexico from Wisconsin, carrying people down to visit their families for the holidays. 40 passengers, mainly men, but a few women and children too. That was the night the Norther first blew in. Their bus broke down outside of Greenville in Hunt Co. They were off the bus looking for a solution and walking to find shelter. A local pastor and his wife took them in and housed the whole group somehow. The women and children inside the house and the men in a heated outbuilding. A call went out for food and money to help them and the local Dems soon had a pickup full of food and the part for the bus had been found. But it wasn't the right one. So they kept at it. I got word this afternoon the bus was back on the road, headed south again. Fuck you Greg Abbott.
  22. Hopefully kicking the shit out of them as incumbents. If we have 20 more years of Abbott type governance, won't be much left of this state.
  23. He won't be there long enough for them to bother to get it right.
  24. I think he's ok. He doesn't do much showboating, and seems pretty humble when he makes big plays. Last year most were remarking on how fearless it was when it came to taking on pretty much anyone in yards after catch or on runbacks. But this year that has changed quite a bit. Maybe they are telling him to save his body for the next play and not potentially sacrifice his whole season over a few extra yards. Particularly since the WR room is pretty thin to start with. Maybe that explains the lack of willingness to stretch out for a catch? For fear of being broadsided and knocked out of the season? And being knocked off the routes is something that defenses have learned is one way to deal with him, I imagine. But I don't see him being dislikeable and I don't get the sense he is a lockerroom cancer.
  25. If this wasn't such a high profile case, that would probably be the way it would go. I know a guy who beat his wife so bad she went to the ER with a broken nose. He got charged, pled guilty. She took the kids and fled to another state. After 6 months of anger management he was free to go wherever. After a year of AA, his record was expunged. I would think his remaining at Texas would have something to do with being a spokesperson against DV. Which wouldn't be such a bad idea, since so many athletes end up in similar situations (looking at you NFL). Set up a series of seminars on red flags, escalation, de-escalation, fall out, etc. It wouldn't surprise me that CDC ends up with his coach intact and in an even better position. That's my hope anyway, that something good comes from this tragic situation.
