The annual college football magazine thread
Athlon once had the most beautiful football magazines every year, best look, best photography, great covers. That was back in the day. The CFB issue I saw this week was total goatass. Pretty much all the mags today are meh, at best. All outsourced generic shit. Most of them sold their names years ago and are just cranked out by different publishers on the cheap.

At this point, this thread has no particular place to go.

Texas Rangers 2025: Pitching has been fire. Bats not so much.
Garcia just ain't got it as a closer.

Here's another strange Brian Wilson story from Otis.

Good win. But this 9th inning closer situation...doesn't seem sustainable. They gotta get somebody that inspires a bit more confidence.

Bernie wrote about it. This is a nice listen from Otis Gibbs.

Their 2012 reunion album and following tour with the legit living band members was really surprisingly great. Check it out if you haven't heard it. Amazing ear for harmony and interesting changes, funky left field ideas that somehow worked brilliantly. He could make a goofy teenage surfing song sound like great art. Yeah, I'd call that genius. He had a gift only a few people on the planet ever approached. Don't let his awkward persona fool you. It was all about music.

We also thought that about a month ago and it didn't work out so well. But maybe the bats are finally awaken to some degree, and the pitching won't tank.

It was already 6-1 when I got the game on. Kinda took a lot of the fun out of it. Great series, though. Keep it going!

Rangers should trade for Bride and make him the closer.

Damn, this is like two weeks worth of runs for the Rangers. They may not score the rest of the month to get back down to their average rate.

OK, now fix the headstock so it doesn't look weird on strat body, and get a different signature endorsement guy that isn't so douchey.

It seems unlikely they would can him at this point, being who he is. It wouldn't help. Their only chance is that somehow it clicks to a degree that they could not suck as much. Then they start over fresh after a lot of turnover next season. Now Marcus is the only one that can hit. What a season.

Maybe they can trade Simien while he's not sucking.

Fortunately, I had to leave in the 7th for a bowling date. Furk...

Nice to see Marcus not sucking. That would be yuge of he could keep doing that.

Rocker needs way more MLB innings before we know enough. Could always try to transition to a short relief guy if all else fails.

Yep, that's how my music store guy used to do it.

I think they should try not giving up a 5 run disadvantage. Then they may be onto something.

Especially when Baz is actually better vs lefties statistically. Paper, scissors, rock maybe.

Weird... I guess the ump just said "fuck it, I don't know" and let them review it. Great play by Wyatt.

I think facebook market has essentially replaced Craigslist in relevance, from what I hear. Not sure how it is for drummers.
