I went to college about 20 miles from State College. That region is brutal in so many ways. And there is almost nothing to do in that town, or within 2 hours (although I did see Public Enemy, Ice T, and House of Pain there back in '92). Old joke: how are a porcupine and Beaver Stadium alike? They're both full of pricks.

UT also has an atrocious offensive line, no speed at the offensive skill positions, and a starting QB who is badly limited and will likely end up at another position once we have any semblance of depth. UCLA only needs 2 TDs to win.

That weird arc in rural east-Central Texas for the Browns cos of Johnny Hancock

Picked up some Dogfish Head Festina Peche last weekend. First had this at a craft brew pub last year, gave it a try because I like fruity beers and I love peach. It was my first ever sour and I've been a huge fan since. The Festina Peche isn't too sour, and the peach is rather subtle. It's definitely refreshing, and if it weren't $10.50 for a 4-pack I'd probably make it my regular while it lasts.

Hell, you could do two weeks alone on former West Texas State (which is now called West Texas A&M) football players; that program was basically Dory Funk's Amarillo fed feeder. edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_West_Texas_A%26M_University_people

Even as I wrote that, I had a faint memory that Wahoo was a recent WOTD. Ernie Ladd seems like the best guess. I'm going to assume that Kevin Greene doesn't count, even if he was better in the ring than Mongo.

10 points on offense may be optimistic after Strong's latest suspensions. Both projected OT starters. Stolen from another board, which stole it from somewhere else: "The Texas offensive line now consists of Jake Raulerson, a poster of Dan Neil, a barn cat, a rancid pickle and poem by Bill Little." That all popped off last night during my last Fantasy Football draft. Rumor/speculation on an insider board I'm on is that 1-game suspension is cover and that they're gone, being given time to arrange transfer.

Your hint is that one will be the WOTD tomorrow and the other one was wrestling before World War II OK, so Nagurksi and...Wahoo?

OK, I'll ask, who are the top two?

I'll give him props for being a Lifetime Longhorn and that little chihuahua.

My Longhorns get BYU at home, in what had been considered a chance for sweet, sweet payback for last year's massacre (which led to Manny Diaz's blessed firing and ultimately Mack Brown's demise). I don't see Charlie Strong and Vance Bedford's D letting Taysom Hill embarrass us again. But I don't see our offense putting more than 10 points on the board, maybe 17 if we're given a short field by the D twice instead of the one time I'm already counting on.

I got to enjoy a dominating Longhorns defensive performance in person on Saturday. That was nice. The last couple of days have been pretty awful, though. David Ash really needs to hang them up, for his future. We also lost our most experienced O-lineman, which means on Saturday against BYU we're playing a new QB (true soph who was being discussed for a future position change) and new center (redshirt freshman who really could've used a full year at backup). Our biggest game-breaker threat is also still suspended.

I keep forgetting about that show. September in Austin also has Merchandise/Lower and Earthless, off the top of my head.

You must have missed the Sam Houston State-Eastern Washington game this past Saturday. It's possible your television refused to display the horrific red turf at EWU. UT at North Texas, our "easy" non-conference game, against a team that made a bowl last season. We have the QB and RB depth of a 6-man team from West Texas, and our #1 game-changer skill guy and our starting RT are suspended.

This might be the best so far. I own everything but that Chaka Khan song on vinyl still.

I meant to post this before, but seems more appropriate now:

Seriously, save yourself a few hours and just skip Friday Night Lights season 2. It's absolutely dreadful and basically every single thing that happened that season is completely ignored for the remainder of the series. The only reason to watch it is to make jokes later while watching the good seasons.

I see. Either way, I don't use Youtube at work so...

Glad someone posted Sweet and Thin Lizzy since I can't be bothered to figure out how to embed videos. Throw on some Slade to go with the earlier Cheap Trick and I'll be set.

I really loved this song back in the day. In the mid-90s, one of my role models/mentors/friends (who is a Texas punk and garage rock legend) told me about how they were actually this cool soul-inspired band. He mentioned that they refused to play along with a lot of the music industry games and rather than do interviews would purchase advertising space to write their own stories about themselves. Not long after, I stumbled across both the 12" single of "Come on Eileen" and the album at a thrift store, and purchased both. Definitely agree that they shoudn't be lumped in with the one-hit synth wonders.

I FF'd through it to get to any parts where they might be together. Jumbo does the majority of the work. 7:57 - 8:29. Mil sells one move, Stan definitely gives him a little extra on a punch. There's not much to it, definitely not an ass-whooping. 10:07-10:18 minor bit outside the ring where Stan doesn't even acknowledge a forearm/punch in the back from Mil, then refuses to get pulled off the apron. 12:40-13:15 Interesting post-match exchange where it looks like Stan is seriously pissed and is yelling at Mil and Mil seems to be trying desperately to get away. But that may be skewed by what I've read on this thread.

Whataburger has a honey butter chicken biscuit for breakfast that's really damn good, and they even started selling the honey butter in grocery stores.

I remember he had the first or second really good Goldberg match (depending on whether we count the Regal potato/sandbag match).

I started watching Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter last night. I stopped after 15 minutes and deleted it from my DVR. Last time I did anything like that was back in the day when I rented Batman and Robin.
