When one of my sons became a traitor and went to A&M, we got acquainted with HEB. Now my wife has us going to TX every year just for that.

At least I get to visit Spec's Liquor on those trips. Amazing.

The great cast brought me to it, but like a few others, after 30-45 minutes I just lost interest. Nothing to do with politics or subject matter, it just got uninteresting.

Get over it. Let Indiana enjoy the ride. They are clearly the best team this year and have been ranked #1 for quite some time.

Agreed. Assuming they beat Miami, Indiana will have amazingly, possibly, jumped into being considered one of the top 10 college football teams of all time. However, it won’t displace LSU’s 2019/20 season as the best ever.

And as Greenie said, you can argue all day about who the best team is, but there’s no debating who had the best season.

Its definitely the best cheap pillow you can get but it is not a high end pillow.

I saw a story on My Pillow years ago. A bunch of randomly shaped pieces of foam put in a cover by a lot of reformed drug addicts. Gotta give it to the reformed crack addict Lindell for giving those folks jobs though.

However, I slept on one and had dreams of a rambling madman...

re: Does Cignetti get any looks from the NFL? (aka Raiders)

Posted by parrotdr on 1/3/26 at 12:35 pm to GeauxtigersMs36

Cignetti’s new eight-year, $93 million deal – which the two sides announced in October 2025 – includes a Good Faith Market Review clause. It states if IU makes the CFP semifinal, the school must discuss a renegotiated contract with Cignetti that would bring his annual compensation to nothing less than the third-highest paid coach in college football.

This means he's already getting a raise. (I think he's 4th currently?) He's not going anywhere.

Who'd have thought that a team that was 9-27 in the three years before Cignetti with the worst winning percentage in CF history would be where they are now.

This is why you don't bet on sports. :lol:

That's like asking "Is the best vegan hamburger ever?"

As far as including the Johhny Cash son (how dare you!), folks have been speaking lines in songs long before rap came about. Doesn't make it rap.

Elvis--Are You Lonesome Tonight
Several Bob Dylan songs

The list goes on.

The Malcolm In the Middle "alternate ending" they did for Breaking Bad is one of the greatest skits in television history.

That was hilarious, but as you may already know, it was a takeoff of the actual ending of "Newhart" which recalled "The Bob Newhart Show" from 10 years earlier.
