  1. Sparty trounced, USA got beat the fuck up, now Rocky Top is looking...well, "rocky".
  2. Damn shame whats become of that dude. Fucking incredible driver.
  3. I never in my life thought I would say this...but I am really looking forward to that crucial Houston v. LVille football game. That may be a decisive factor in the national championship AND Heisman races this year. Is this real life?
  4. How on earth does Kirk Ferentz still have a job?
  5. That is a dude that scares the shit out of you if he's not on your team.
  6. Nothing says "I am someone to be respected" like camo dipped truck wheels. Lol
  7. And normally I would agree with you, but the fear mongering and "patriot-gasm" (I mean no disrespect to those that were actually moved to do patriotic things as a result of the attacks, but if you tried to make a buck off of it, fuck you) that followed in the wake of the attacks, and indeed, lives on today (as mentioned earlier in the thread in a few examples) makes me think someone would have done something.
  8. Collapsible external elevators? Something attached to the top of of the building, like a window washers catwalk, that only deploys in an emergency? Perhaps static line chutes above a certain height threshold? Not "jump out and pull the cord" type chutes, but chutes that are attached to a line in the building, so that they are opened the second you jump from the building. Slidewire basket system, like what they use at the Shuttle launch pads? Something deployable...like the fire department hits a button and these things fire over to the nearby buildings or something where a team is ready to set them into some predetermind catch locations. Its crazy to me that we haven't come up with SOMETHING that we can use with some degree of confidence, especially in the last 15 years.
  9. Houston will be part of the Big 12 next year, go ahead an quote me on it. The Big 12 needs them, and if they want to keep Tom Herman, they need the Big 12. The win against Oklahoma was as much an interview as it was a football game.
  10. In other news, FSU is looking like they are about to get exposed. Dalvin Cook has thus far been meh.
  11. My commentary on your commentary; 1. Truer words have never been spoken. 2. As a football fan and a hater of elitist attitudes that are unwarranted, I agree. Notre Dame football hasn't been relevant since the 80's (No, domer fan, you weren't relevant in 2013 either, except to take the NC title game slot away from some other team that actually deserved to be there, and you DEFINITELY weren't relevant last year, when the Buckeyes didn't really even break a sweat while delivering the mushroom stamp to you)...time for domer fan to get a fucking clue. 3. Unfortunately, having just spent two years living in the PDRoT, I cannot agree. The only thing more intolerable than Notre Dame football fan is (Insert any school from Texas here) fan. Honestly, I was rooting for a meteor to win that game, despite the fact that Austin may actually be the only decent thing Texas has going for it. (I humbly submit to the court:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/09/02/a-texas-teacher-named-her-class-the-j-word-her-racial-slur-defense-ignorance/ ) Bonus track: Listening to Penn State fan justify the love for Joe Pa is like listening to The Donald try to convince minorities that he is the candidate they should vote for. And also, Baylor should just go out and get Brock Turner's lawyer on retainer....just in case.
  12. 2 years in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Texas does weird things to your vision/standards. I throw myself at the mercy of the court.
  13. I was encouraged by a lot of what I saw at the Spring game...however, the O-Line is going to be a source of real concern this season. Much like the 2014 season, we have one returning stud, and a bunch of new faces. Let's hope this season ends the same way that one did.
  14. I still believe that the power 5 will eventually be self governed.
  15. Ok, yeah...I think I remember that as well.
  16. Wait, Pikey is Will Smith's brother?
  17. Saw this yesterday. What the fuck, man. There is more to the story, I'm sure, but what would posses you to just shoot a guy and his wife in their car? Sad.

    Apple Vs. FBI

    Anyone else think it's entirely possible that they DIDN'T actually crack it, and are just giving themselves a way to walk away from a political battle they may lose? Additionally, who wants to bet that Tim Cook gets audited this year?

    This made me wonder how much power it did make, and I have to tell you, I straight LOL'd when I looked it up. 155 hp? For ~$30k? I don't care if it is faster than a Ferrari Enzo on the track, those optics are fucking comical. At least get it to 200 man, Jesus.

    Not bad. I don't hate that at all.
