Quiche better than Chicago-style pizza? Was quiche invented by a fellow Texas longhorn? No. But Chicago-style pizza WAS invented by a Texas Longhorn, Ike Sewell, at Pizzeria Uno in 1943.  And not only was Ike a Longhorn, he was an All-Southwest Conference guard as a player on the Longhorn football team from 1926 to 1929.

So you hush your dirty mouth. 


I just had to laugh when I saw this walking home just now. They are trying to market something for the locals now.

That face has been seen some trauma. 

Well, she has probably been to Columbus more times than anyone should. 
 
Every couple of year’s I like to pop into Conan’s to get a Whole Wheat Savage.

My favorite pizza ever.  I need to get one next time I'm in Austin.

You bring up the crux of the matter.  A lot of us fondly remember a golden age of college football wherein the entire enterprise had a sense of history and decorum that gave gravitas to the proceedings.  There was a generational aspect that we carry on into adulthood.  That’s why it’s worth so much money, at the end of the day.

 

I would argue that dumbing it down to the lowest common denominator and featuring a bunch of crass, flavor of the minute celebrities degrades that very institutional sense of decorum and seriousness and will contribute to the erosion of the generational aspect.

 

I grew up in the 80s and 90s, so I would liken it to bringing Howard Stern and Andrew Dice Clay into the mix at the time.  How many of us would remember watching games with our family as fondly as we do with those clowns running the show?

 

Of course, I don’t know shit about fuck and I enjoy yelling at clouds, so take it for what it’s worth.

I feel this

To me, NCAA FB was always so far above NFL. 

Your childhood friends went to your rival, so you carried that fun by beefing through holiday meetups back home.
The fans were more "upper crust" compared to NFL fans. 
The product just felt superior - more innovation, the lack of free agency (until now), watching some random 3* kid from Tuscola, TX thrive. 

Plus you had things like MACtion on a Tuesday night, Thursday night conference games, etc. that just hit different than your boring, over-produced TNF or MNF.  Rankings also made games more interesting - seeing something like #1 USC losing to unranked Stanford on a Friday night was better than anything the NFL was putting out.

All the things that made is special don't feel as special, except maybe the rivalry games.  CFB becoming a podcaster playground for degenerate gamblers and hot take donkeys is just.... ugh

This is good writing and has inspired me to revisit some of my favorite Red Smith and Grantland Rice articles. Thank you.

I read "Mike Portnoy" and was looking forward to prog metal.

This is the second-greatest video on the Internet.

Keep it in the Cloak Room! 

Oh wait, you only cry about that in certain cases. 

Didn’t express any political opinions.  Just that Geoff Ketchum would be a perfect fit in the Cloak Room.  He’d be one of the most popular posters on that board and have Hugo’s rep count in no time. Nothing political about that.  Just truth.

Fuck you, of course you did.  Ketchum has well known leanings and you're using him as a stalking horse.  You're not usually horseshit, but you are here.

Ok. Ketch, one of the , if not the most reviled sports journalist in creation, with a reputation for " poor charity accounting"   wants to organize a charity with OTF and IT who recently had a falling out.  

Gotta say. This is Ketchum to a T. 

Tone deaf and ill informed for 800 Alex.
