  1. That's a hanging curve if I've ever seen one.
  2. Any idea if that's Dave on drums, or is it the NiN guy?
  3. Yowza. Two of my cousins are West Point grads and Rangers. One served decades and just retired as a Colonel. He has a couple of Purple Hearts, one from an IED and one from a jump accident when his one of his lines wrapped around his calf and tipped him upside down. He was able to cut that line free and survive the jump, but suffered a lot of muscle damage. Your story tops that by a large margin. How does one fall maybe 1,000s of feet and suffer little injury?
  4. 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.
  5. oli has some seriously incriminating photos. That's the only explanation.
  6. Who eats airline food? I'll take the pretzels and a few beers. That gets me across the Atlantic at a minimum.
  7. 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.
  8. New surly motto?
  9. Archimedes! Everybody drink!
  10. 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.
  11. They should change their name to "Sausage Fest".
  12. 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.
  13. Counterpoint: Lubbock
  14. 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.
  15. Dennis DeYoung was such a pussy. I'm surprised they kept him around as long as they did.
  16. 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.
  17. Shooter was ~ 55 YO. This will be a clusterfuck to unravel.
  18. @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.
  19. It's an unpopular opinion, but I'd like to see test scores returned to the auto-admit criteria, along with class rank.
  20. I fear chips have jumped the shark.
