Covers better than Original
This is probably old news for you music buffs and guys that really follow live performances, but I heard a version of Born in the USA by Bruce tonight on Sirius that blew me away. Obviously the original is not the flag waving nationalistic song that some dipshits pretend it to be, but this was the first time I'd ever heard it performed in a way that matches the tone of the lyrics. The version I heard was from a live performance from 1996 in Belfast. I couldn't find that exact version on the Googles, but this one is close enough.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Texas A&M is a lateral move from Ole Miss. Why would Beard take that job? He'll get a much bigger job in the next couple of years. Unless they give a Jimbo contract to the basketball coach, which ain't happening. It also makes you think that working for Trev is absolutely horrible. Buzz took a job at a place without an AD. It's not like Maryland is some basketball Mecca. It's definitely a step up from Aggy, but not having an AD makes that a complete unknown of a situation.

LHR to Kensington
The last thing I want to do after flying international is sit in another seat for an hour.

LHR to Kensington
Why not take the Heathrow Express to Paddington and then take the tube from there. I'm far from an expert, but I don't think Kensington is that far away. And Heathrow Express is tough to beat. Relatively cheap and fast.

Welcome Coach Sean Miller! What he brings to the table
That's an interesting hire considering where his name has been floated. Not sure it would move from tier 3 to tier 2.5

NCAA First Four: Texas vs Xavier - Wednesday 8:10pm
It's funny reading the comments from people that think a running forearm into the back isn't a foul. That was the easiest call of the day. It reminds me of being a referree in basketball, baseball, and soccer and realizing the parents watching the game don't have the slightest idea what the rules are.

UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
I assume he means someone Texas would have no interest in hiring. We'd certainly take a hard look at McCasland. My guess is Billy Clyde.

Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?
Have you never been to Barton Springs? Or swam in the Comal? 70 degrees is brisk, but it's definitely swimmable--as in, I'm going to swim, use the diving board, play with the kids, etc. I wouldn't just stand in the water.

Winter Weather 2025 - Arctic Blasts or Sweaty Ass?
The only benefit I can see is my pool may hit 70deg under those conditions on Friday afternoon. I can swim in that when it's 90deg outside

Pics of parking douche baggery
Yea, definitely dont want anyone to hit the base model Murano or whatever the fuck it is. There might be enough room for 4 cars to park in each of those spots around him.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Glass houses man. It's like none of you remember the rings Mack had made for winning the fucking Alamo Bowl and "creating momentum for next year". Mack out Aggied Aggy on that one.

I didn't own any shares until today. Decided to by 5k shares. Also bought a bit more RVPH to get my avg down to about $4.- Surly #Stonks
Are you thinking this goes back to pre-2024 levels, or are you just hoping to get back to $10-11 to break even?- Henry Melton not doing so well
About a decade ago a neighbor was suffering from a very rare form of cancer, to the point that experimental treatment was the best path forward. I don't remember if GoFundMe was a thing back then, but there was an effort spearheaded by family friends to cover the expensive treatment that wasn't covered by insurance, travel to/from a different city, hotel costs, etc. I live in a nice neighborhood, but the estimated $100k is a big bogey for most people. I didn't feel bad giving $1k towards the effort. Then 2 weeks later landscape guys show up with about dozen trees and shrubs to improve the landscaping in the front yard, and a new $50k+ SUV appears in the driveway. So, yes, I agree just because a GoFundMe was a started, you have no idea if they actually need it.- Abbott being Abbott
12% look at the Republican candidates and said "yep, that Steve Bannon guy is the one for me". JFC.- Henry Melton not doing so well
Fair enough. It just seems like the original comment implied that he's currently getting a pension so he should be able to afford his healthcare. That isn't the case.- Henry Melton not doing so well
Pension doesn't kick in until age 55, and then it's like $40k per year.- MLS 2025 - no one wants to watch anyway
Thanks for the tip. Just paid $21.50. Activation successful. - Surly #Stonks
