"Club Trillion" was a funny idea. His writing on "playing" with Greg Oden brought an interesting perspective.

There, that's what Mark Titus has brought to the table. Like so man of these duders, he's famous now for being Mark Titus, not for anything approaching worthwhile insight.

I meant whoop OUR rear end again because that's what they did

Although we got alot better and they got alot worse

And we returned almost everyone and Todd Orlando seems to be a defensive savant post-maryland last year

We got the only real Maryland that ever played because both their QBs exploded like Mortal Kombat 3 fatalities in the game right after us.

Who knows, maybe Maryland would have been good last year.

My god, driving through that area is like reading a moving history book. Really really interesting and also a lot of racist people too

It's basically 1935 Oklahoma, except no one is willing to go out to Californee for work.

The pep rally where he responded to fans chanting "one more year" at Oden by grabbing the mic and announcing that he was coming back for his sophomore season was also funny. That's about it though.

I also get the sense that if he'd become internet famous like five years later he'd be a barstool guy

This is 100% true.

Honestly, the biggest reason why most of the Tech fans who are still on board the Kliff train haven't gotten off is because we don't want to see him win a natty as an OC for some other team the year after we fire him.

I wonder how much nominative determinism plays a role in quarterbacks having such amazing names. Like, did this kid's youth football coaches put him at QB instead of another position because they heard that name and went "hell yes" and the skills he's learned and the way he's developed his body since then was just a consequence of that?

That or his father Brick played QB at directional State and married the captain of the volleyball team, and Steele and his sister Spike are destined for greatness.

As far as Waco being the worst place in Texas, my man, have you ever been to the Panhandle?

KIM JONG TRILL posted:

El Paso is pretty cool dude.

I haven't spoken to any Texan who wants to defend El Paso. The Panhandle is dull but Amarillo is like a real town and has seasons. I'll even say driving through it twice recently the windmills are kinda nifty. El Paso is an armpit. It has next to nothing to do in it, the border is gross to look at, and its miserably hot/dry there all the time. Maybe back in the day when it was alright to cross into Mexico it was a better cooler place, but I have been strongly advised don't do that in recent years.

They have some boss Burritos tho at Delicious Mexican Eatery, that's my favorite part of El Paso, but having been there the past 3 years for clinics uhh El Paso is not a cool place.

Waco's biggest attractions are the rape campus and the overpriced HGTV home reno store. That's it. SHIPLAP YOUR WALLS AND GET AN OPEN FLOOR CONCEPT. El Paso is boring and gross to be in, but Waco just needs to finish burning to the ground.

Juarez hasn't been that bad in like 5 years, you're fine

E: actually maybe it got bad again in the last year or so, but as of a couple years ago it was way down from where it was at in the late part of the last decade

Juarez is not a safe place MV. The fact that you can no longer bring a rental car across the border says a lot.

I’ve been a lifelong fan of an SEC team and TV timeouts are almost enough to make me stop watching. They are infuriatingly long. Especially at the stadium. Like, let the product dictate the pace of play, not commercials. gently caress!

It's in the UP. You go there if you want to get as far from your parents as possible while paying in state tuition. Or if you're a hockey player.
