Fast Food guilty pleasures
Yeah, we had one near my office in north Austin, not far from Q2 stadium. Key word "had". Decent cheeseburgers, decent crinkle fries, great frozen custard. Now the only Austin-area locations are just too far a haul for me.

2024 St Louis Cardinals. Our pet's heads are falling off.
oli has some seriously incriminating photos. That's the only explanation.

Texas BBQ
Who eats airline food? I'll take the pretzels and a few beers. That gets me across the Atlantic at a minimum.

Sean Miller is already losing me
I'm pretty sure Derka is the very first Texas fan to jump the gun on a negative opinion of a coach. Most of the surly fanbase is super optimistic to a fault and never ever ever ever criticizes.

The Guitar Pron Thread
Yeah, Pariah fans obviously stuffed the ballot box. Kyle & Jared could play on guitar, but the rest just weren't up to the Pantera/King's X level of musicianship. I'd put either of those two drummers at #1.

They should change their name to "Sausage Fest".

He means that muscle is not the bicep. And, the right will say that it's fabricated. As an aside, that's about the least feminine looking trans woman I've seen. I think it's the dude who used to work on my guitars at Guitar Resurrection.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Wait, they extended Elko's contract and gave him a 50% raise AFTER we pushed their shit in and they failed miserably in the playoffs? Bless their hearts.

Dennis DeYoung was such a pussy. I'm surprised they kept him around as long as they did.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Average SAT at A&M: 1260 Average SAT at UT: 1355 But yeah, it's the larger pool of dummies applying to UT that is driving the acceptance rate down.

Shooter was ~ 55 YO. This will be a clusterfuck to unravel.

Surly kids who can't get into UT
@TwiceHorn ,I have little doubt that cultural and other biases exist in standardized testing, but as you imply, that doesn't mean scores don't correlate to scholastic aptitude whatsoever. I'll post the literal translation of Voltaire's famous quote (which usually gets butchered): The best is the enemy of the good. I think the question should be "can we improve the quality of college graduating classes without ignoring our state school charter?" UT-Austin need not meet the same criteria as (say) Texas State. Both can offer quality educations to somewhat differing demographics.

It's an unpopular opinion, but I'd like to see test scores returned to the auto-admit criteria, along with class rank.

Check out these fucking chips
I fear chips have jumped the shark.

Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?
You're going to have to be more specific.

Concerts you are attending
So . . . Moody Amphiteater sucks? I'm interested in the Sting trio show. I never saw The Police, so it might be a slight substitute, but I haven't heard good things about the venue (and I will not look forward to Sting's boatmen songs from his dumb musical nor hi yacht rock era).

Huh. I think he's a fucking genius. Absolute first rate songwriter (and drunk and addict).

Something personal?

Objection. This whole album was fantastic:
