I saw her there in either 84 or 85, with Joe Walsh opening (turns out they were an item at the time, but I don't think the public knew that).

Celebrities who dabbled in music
Last month my wife and I were traveling (she surprised me with flights and tickets to the Peach Bowl), and we had a few hours to kill before we were meeting some friends for dinner. So we looked up movies nearby and ended up going to see the Dylan movie... it was pretty "meh." 1. My wife kept leaning over and whispering, "He (Chalamet) has zero charisma" (she was right). 2. The moments when Chalamet tried to be the most Dylanish Dylan - delivering something sneering and defiant - those were just cringeworthy and painful to watch. 3. Joan Baez's ass should have gotten a Best Supporting Actress nomination. I may have whispered this to my wife (I was right). Anyway, I thought that whole crash-and-burn failure of a creative endeavor was over and behind me.... but this evening I was fast forwarding through last week's SNL because I wanted to see the news. I paused while fast forwarding, because "Oh, I wonder who the musical guest is." "... Timothee Chalamet!" And I was treated to yet another helping of this guy doing a third-rate Dylan impression. I truly wondered if it was "for real." Like, is this supposed to be good? Or is it a bit? Anyway, I said this about Bon Jovi doing his pandemic song on Colbert a few years ago, and I'm saying it again now, "You are killing what very little is left of rock music."

RIP John Sykes
Never knew his name... but it's crazy to have that many memorable guitar hooks in one track. The intro, the fills, the clean parts in the middle... brilliant stuff.

2025 CFP National Championship - Ohio State vs. Notre Dame
I can't remember which NBA coach was complaining about Pat Riley's teams - I think this was when Riley was in Miami - but he said something to the effect of, "I think he (Riley) is a genius. You just foul the other team on absolutely every play, and the refs just aren't going to call them all." That seems to apply to the Ohio State pass defense. In our game, they got flagged several times - including on back-to-back plays in the 4th quarter - but there were a bunch more that could have (should have) been called. Tonight the Ohio State DBs are wrapping up Notre Dame's receivers on just about every drop back pass.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
This. Perfectly analogous to Simms in 99. The top QB in the country - who could have gone ANYWHERE - joins a UT that had been floundering and underperforming, and makes it a LOT easier for Texas to recruit five-star guys on both sides of the ball. The monster roster that went 25-1 over 04 and 05 might not have been assembled without that (unlikely) first domino. Hopefully the analogy continues with a Texas MNC here in the next couple years.

Yeah, I may be with you on that.- Eight or Nine Game SEC Schedule
I'm probably in the minority here, but: 1). Really not interested in Arkansas as a permanent rivalry game. IDGAF about how big the game was 50 years ago. TCU was also a big rivalry at times in our history. Totally not excited to play the pigs every year (though they would absolutely love it) 2). I'm as big a fan of college football as you'll meet, but we've already reached a point where we keep adding games that mean less to your ultimate season results, and asking kids to risk serious injury up to 17 times. Texas has been fairly healthy this year, but we're seeing some cumulative injuries to guys like Bond (who is a shadow of the threat he was back in September). We just saw Georgia lose at least two starters for the season in what was a fairly inconsequential game as it relates to a MNC (yes, winning your conference counts for something). 9 SEC games + conference championship + 4 playoff games... I think 17 games for 20-year old kids is pushing it. One partial fix is to keep an 8-game SEC schedule but punish teams in the tiebreakers who play Lamar or Texas State for their OOC. I understand our conference mates would vote that down by a wide margin, but it would arguably be good for college football as a whole by making for more Texas v Michigan as opposed to Bama v Mercer.- 2024 CFP Selection Show Thread - 11am on ESPN
Calm and detached pregame Dvoracek: "Texas is a great program with amazing players and a great tradition." 4th-Quarter, one-score-game Dusty: "OH MY GOD THAT SHOULD BE A PENALTY ON TEXAS!!!!

Awww... Al is good people. And I say that as someone who saw realignment very differently from him over the last couple years. Let's distinguish between fellow sports fans (and good posters) who happen to root for a different school vs. mouthy bitches like Matt Campbell and Joey McGuire.- Tell me about Texas Tech
I was a few days late seeing this clip... Just "Wow." Hiding under Texas' skirt by claiming that a "Big 12 team" is in the SEC title game... I mean, WTF? First of all, it was apparent that by 2023, Sark had assembled an SEC roster (as evidenced by a double-digit win over the SEC champion on their home field), but we were still shackled by TV contracts to the Big 12. The idea that Texas is "Big 12" team in December of 2024 is just such loserspeak - he should be embarrassed for trying to "claim" us somehow. Reminder: In reality, it was a lot more one-sided than 57-7 would lead you to believe.- FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
Yes, Bama is getting way too much love. That said (and sorry if already discussed) it is arguably that very same love for Bama that propelled Texas all the way to #3 last year.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
Yeah, Liberty and Texas Bowls are SEC vs Big 12. Sankey and the SEC have been very strategic about choosing bowl matchups for their teams. I'll bet Sankey sends the Aggies *anywhere* other than those two spots... just to avoid the potential of getting a deflated Aggie program matched against Baylor, Tech, or TCU. All three of those programs would be super excited to hang an L on them. - Who should we blame for Bro Country?
