Totally agree with your statement. I never understood why he was so popular for such shitty music. 

Eh loved his music early on with Cory Morrow and what not. But as a person since then, no.  I was also at SPI spring break when he hit on a Nebraska lineman’s gf and got destroyed, but he still hasn’t learned evidently….

He was my camp counselor when I was 14, circa 1990. I remember him being a good guy. But I’ve never liked his music.

Yeah, he was with my group obnoxiously hitting on my blonde friend who had big knockers right before that happened. He was so wasted, he couldn’t even stand up. He wandered off and 30 mins later got his ass kicked.

Could be touchy with Texas and the Alamo.....I propose we enter the field first, then play "El Deguello" until the opponent comes out. 

I always felt Deguello as a bone chilling song to have to listen to. First part of the song is like a remeberence of loved once and life. The end says dying time has come. Brrrhhhhh.

i’ll be watching ewers most closely.

expect to see 300+ yards and 3+ tds. against rice, he should be able to find worthy, whittington, mitchell, neyor, and our stable of wr’s with ease. one or two first game jitters are excusable, a tipped pass intercepted or a couple of others well off target, fine, just hit most of the rest of them. i’m not asking for perfection, not for a burrow 2019 or rg3 2011. just show consistency and poise and accuracy. a bit of ehlinger-esque toughness would be nice too, or at least a bit more leadership - let’s see if he’s matured.

if he can’t manage that against rice, projecting in the top few rounds of the draft with a potential big12 championship on the way out becomes much less likely. he should be dominant against much less talented teams if he’s going to compete in the nfl next year. he should be very good against equally talented teams also, and we’ll learn more about that next week.

hope to see our ground game get established with 200+ yards. with one of our weaknesses being the lack of rb experience, i’d like to see brooks, keilan, and baxter all flash on big plays so we can head to tuscaloosa with a bit of momentum in that room. not only for our own confidence, but having saban need to prep for 3 rb’s couldn’t hurt.

on defense, i think giving up 10 should be the maximum expected. a blown coverage td or pick six or big special teams play, and only one decent drive for the owls ending short but within field goal range. let’s get some pressure on jt and get stops on 3rd downs, a couple of turnovers.

my pick: 42-3

I'm just wondering why this isn't your avatar

Pat Green sucks as a human and as an artist.  He is horrible.  I will never forgive him for 2003 at Willie’s Picnic.  It is insane we booked him for LCL and fuck him.  
 

I think we will best rice by 37 points

Yeah once he went to Nashville and Wave on Wave happen he was a giant piece of shit

Ewers might not be in the game long enough to throw for 300+ yards.  I want to see us "run the damn ball".

It’s early enough in the day where he won’t be so drunk he starts making fun of the crowd and gets booed off stage.   I know of three incidents like that with him.  One being the St. Davis fundraiser like 8-10 years ago but one was also three years ago.  He’s a real dbag who thinks he more important than he is.. 

I never was a fan but a friend had extra tickets for one of his shows at Billy Bob's. It was a train wreck. He was wasted the entire show and blathered on about how screwed up his life was and how much he did his wife wrong. I guess it's admirable to admit it but it took up the whole show and done in a black out drunk, "I said what?" kind of way. All the PG fans ate it up, I thought it was a waste of 2 hours of my life I'd never get back. I'm pretty sure after that show,  he "took some time off from touring" (rehab hopefully) to get his priorities straight.

No, he's still a drunk dumbass. A friend of mine went to see him last weekend in Buda and said he was a terribly sloppy drunk that put on an awful show.

Emphasis on dumbass. He had a million $$$ contract from a boot company. All he had to do was wear them while he played. For a while he would wear them then take them off to play barefooted. Eventually he just quit wearing them and they cancelled his endorsement contract.

Yes, but Ewers also needs a healthy amount of reps before the Alabama game.  I'd like to see him pulled early in the third quarter at the latest, as with a lot of our starters.  And while we don't need him to throw for 300 yards or close to that, I don't want to see a run-heavy first half.

Want to see competent execution of the offense in all aspects. I'm interested to see how the OL handles stunts and blitzes which I'd expect in order to mitigate our physical advantage.

DL should dominate and unless their QB is spitting the ball out instantly, should see some sacks.

This line of thinking 30 years ago would have gotten us Snow belting out "a licky boom boom down" over the crowd.  Arena rock was already old when it started getting played in arenas and stadiums.  It has nothing to do with being the new thing.

Yes! I can't think of anything better for a stadium sing a long crowd song in Texas than a Toronto white boy singing Jamaican patois. 

Isn't it weird how all the other examples here, the Enter Sandman and Jump Around, etc, from across the country were all from the 90s or 80s? Why are the kids at WVU and Wisconsin and everywhere else getting hype to songs that came out a decade+ before they were born? 

One of the problems with using today's music is it is mostly pretty soft and there isn't "crowd friendly" rap like Jump Around. It's all pretty sexually explicit and violent. The shit my 18 yr old listens to isn't getting played anywhere. 

That leaves not a lot to choose from. There's the newer prog metal that has some hype bangers like Silvera 

but while it pumps for sure it doesn't really fit stadium atmosphere and the lyrics are way too political and not in a political direction Texas' ruling class would like. 

Music has always been a reflection of the society and today's kids are growing up in a society in decline with tons of conflict combined with dystopian themes like isolation fueling depression and anxiety.  Therefore the pop/rock/rap music skews depressing and not much feel good stuff.

Living standards are the highest they've ever been in human history, and we haven't had a serious war since Vietnam (or WWII depending on how you define serious) but go off I guess.

Yes, I'm sure things are just great among the 'former ivy-league swimmer' segment of society.

Anyway, wildly off topic, last post on the subject. I just hate that hopeless doom-and-gloom today sucks outlook.

Sunshine and rainbows makes for terrible click bait. There always has to be a boogey-man whether he is real or not. Fear porn is a rampant plague to society.

Not going to hash this stuff here but was referring more to USA (since that's the music we mostly listen to here) and the financial aspect is only a very small part of the health of a society. 

To get back on topic 80s/90s songs are being used across the country so I don't see the issue with using them here.

He climbs up on the wagon from time to time but invariably falls right back off. I've never been a big fan but he stepped up huge for our Rise Roundup several years ago when Jerry Jeff had to cancel only a couple of weeks from the event due to the recurrence of his throat cancer that eventually took him from us not too long after. Green was sober and terrific and gracious to our cause. I'm not really a fan of his, however, and he's burned a lot of people.

The QB (Josh LaRocca) from Rice in that game was a pretty good friend of mine from HS. That was a double-tap to the nuts that Josh was the one who ended the streak.

BTW, is there a 2-deep released -- or do we not do that under Sark?

Just checked to make sure we weren’t getting Brando for this game. Thankfully it is Jason Benetti and Brock Huard, who I think are a solid crew. I know they did our KSU game last year. Benetti is especially one of my favorite PBP guys right now, and we should hear Huard hype up our QBs all day.

I ran Pat’s website in the early aughts. As well as those for 30 or so other musicians. Can say that walking around with a handful backstage passes for PG shows in places like Shreveport was a larf. An (almost) direct exchange of pass for ass. We had PG team business meetings at el arroyo, pff. Can also confirm that Pat thinks he’s John Lennon or Elvis. He paid his bills on time tho. Still, total douche. 

On the football front, I’ve got nothing to add except I’m looking forward to week 2. See y’all in Alabama. Fuck Bama.

Quote

Loving County is a county in the U.S. state of Texas. With a population of 64 per the 2020 census, it is the least-populous county in the United States with a permanent population.[2][3] Its county seat and only community is Mentone.[4] The county was originally created in 1887, and after being disorganized in 1897, was reorganized in 1931.[5]

Question for you in the know...does that Champions Club/Corral Club./whatever the cuss at Bass Concert Hall?  Do they let you inside into the A/C or is it just that tent area in the plaza area?  Thanks. 

Unless it's changed over the past 2 years, they let you inside.
