I didn’t learn much today, that shouldn’t already be glaringly obvious:

  1. Don’t bet on Tennessee.
  2. For the love of Christ, don’t bet on Illinois.
  3. Maybe don’t bet on JV NFL, like, at all??
  4. Ronaldo can still excel as a flat track bully.
  5. Arsenal will not go pointless for the 2021-22 season/

So much early JV fun, the peoples no doubt demand MOAR!

Texas (-7) at Arkansas (7:00, ESPN)

Look, I don’t like wishing the Pig Sooey denizens well any MOAR than you do.  But thunderfuck Steerfuckers South, and their legion of media fluffers.  Plus, OBL would have been TOTES grossed out by the porcine squadron.

NC State (-1) at Mississippi State (7:00, ESPN2)

Look, I get it.  Cowbells didn’t look great Week 1.  But they rallied to win, and NC State should NEVAR, EVAR be a road favoUrite in SEC country.  Especially SEC West country.  Fuck’s sake, we have a two-game losing streak to goddamned VANDERBILT.  MOAR Hippo speak here, if so inclined.

Appalachain State (+8) at Miami-FL (7:00, ESPNU)

Holy cats, I guess there is some shine off that Da U 2020 boomlet after all.  A single-digit home favoUrite to the likes of Happy Appy??

Washington (+6.5) at Michigan (8:00, ABC)

As you likely have surmised by now…pretty weak fucking window.  Since I have to watch my Shitty Wolves, consider this a blessing from the Footy Gods.  Also, remember that U-Dub lost their home opener last week.  To fucking MONTANA.

Utah (-7) at BYU (10:15, ESPN)

You haven’t lived until you’ve gone tweaking with a bunch of Mormons.  Welcome to week two, bitches.  Given the “blandly affable” stereotype, it is kind of fun to watch how much Team Secular Big Love and Original Recipe Big Love really, REALLY don’t like one another.  The Big Twaaaaaalve looks poised to invite the home Stormin’ Mormons into the fold, despite the fact that it’s against the code of conduct – under which you can be kicked out of school – to be in a same-sex relationship.  Even without the sexy time.

Watching the U.S. Open always reminds me of how insecure New Yorkers are.

I’ve personally attended the U.S. Open, Wimbledon, and the Australian Open, and I’ve watched plenty of those and the French Open on television. It’s common at all of them to thank the fans, but only at the U.S. Open do they feel it necessary to praise their fans as unique. “What do you have to say about this NEW YORK crowd?” “Oh, I love the fans here in NEW YORK!” Australian crowds don’t need to be told how great the fans of Melbourne are, etc. Just New Yorkers.

It’s not just tennis. It’s such a cliche that they were mocking themselves thirty years ago, but Saturday Night Live hosts always talk about what a thrill it is to be “here in NEW YORK!” Which is especially ironic because I suspect that 50% of an SNL audience is tourists.

Of course, I live in LA, which has the opposite complex. Here, the shtick is to rag on LA, which supposedly doesn’t have the down-home virtues of Bumfuck, Wherever that everyone moved from.

Dunstan

Oh yeah, I don’t fault the players for doing it. The announcers/interviewers more or less force them into it, and clearly the crowd wants it. It’s just weird to me that New York, which prides itself on how tough and outspoken they are, needs the praise so badly.

I think I’ve mentioned here my recent affection for old episode of Match Game, the celebrity game show hosted by Gene Rayburn in the 70s. Often the “celebrities” on the show are people I’m not familiar with, and tonight I finally Googled “Marcia” who’s been a regular on the season I’m watching.

Turns out — and this is probably not news to many of you — this was Marcia Wallace, who at the time was the receptionist on the Bob Newhart Show, but who went on to be the voice of Edna Krabapple on The Simpsons.

Sail on, Marcia! You had a wicked perm in the 70s.

Gene Rayburn had an awesome hand-held microphone. It was skinny and like two feet long.

Yep, absolutely. That was the era of the skinny mic.

I never saw a microphone like that anywhere else. To me that was a Match Game thing. A CBS production thing. I loved that show. The original episodes were aired in the afternoon after we got out of school. They were dumb but they were really fun.

I just downed a bottle of pre-made mai tai from Costco. It’s about 8 to 10 ounces. I’m going to let that settle before starting another drink.

The Costco in Florence KY is where I got Barrel Armadillo. They didn’t have the fancy single malt scotch, but did have the Kirkland cognac. My wife, who I love very, very much, said, “Buy two, we don’t get down here all that often.” She thinks that cognac tastes like furniture polish, but she does love her man.

Fresno State is on TV, but with the local coverage. The colors are so washed out that you cannot tell which team is which unless the camera is using the close up view. The camera is blocked at times by fans standing up, so you get to see their silhouette. Then they cut to some random shot periodically that makes no sense, like the camera man is walking to a bathroom or somewhere on campus. The whole thing hurts to watch.

Anthony In TX

I’ve noticed a distinct drop in the quality of camera definition this year.
I’m streaming vs. cable last year, but have reliable gig-speed internet (SpeedTest shows 800-900mb all the time) and generally have no problem with HD broadcasts. For some reason, a lot of the college football broadcasts have looked awful.

I watched a bunch of volleyball last season, live from colleges I never heard of, broadcast from the Perseverence Mars Rover. Since they had a $100 GoPro knockoff showing the game, the coaches could call a challenge based on that Zapruder-level video.

Some of the good teams play great volleyball, which is fun to watch. Then some teams kind of flail around out there all out of system, and I think back on watching my girl’s volleyball teams stinking on ice. It’s a win-win.

I was at the office at my agency at the base (Brooks AFB, long since closed). We all hung around for a short period of time, nobody could looks at CNN for news it being 2001 and all the servers were blown out of the water.
They sent us home and me and my grandpa watched the coverage all day. I got drunk and stoned. All in all a very boring 911 story.
My GF at the time had flown to Richmond VA that morning so she could inspect a PCB incinerator. She ended up staying there for a few days and then finally renting a car and driving back to San Antonio via Eisenhower’s Highway System.

I was working from home back then – an early WFH pioneer. That day there was some kind of VPN failure going on, and I was getting an impromptu day off. Pioneers, arrows in the back, and all that. I used to watch a lot of CNBC, because Internet Bubble 1.0 was going on (kind of collapsing actually IIRC), and I had a little bit of a crush on Maria Bartiromo back then. So I watched all this shit on CNBC/MSNBC. I woke a friend up, who was an EQ raider on European time zones and slept until noon every day, and told him to turn on his TV. Then called my wife at work and told her to find a TV.

I remember it being a beautiful late summer day, high 70’s or low 80’s with a cloudless blue sky. All flights were shut down, and there were no contrails and no planes taking off or landing. Just quiet.

I’d argue that the polarization was happening before that. Rush Limbaugh and Fox News were pre-9/11. And Clinton’s blowjobs were either a heinous crime or NBD, depending on which side of the fence you were on.

So I followed your advice on the reverse sear. Put some foil on an upside down muffin tin to hold the steaks in the oven. Then found an electric griddle here and used that bitch cranked to max (400) for the sear. Everything turned out quite good but the potatoes that I bailed to just do as mashed before realizing there wasn’t a bowl large enough to keep the mixer from making a mess so they were more like twice-baked smashed potatoes but the overall dinner was a hit so thanks for.the tips.

4
Dunstan

Great, I was hoping you’d report back!

To paraphrase an album title, never mind the potatoes, here’s the steak!

I’m pleasantly surprised that you got a good sear out of a 400 electric griddle. Or at least something you were happy with.

1
blaxabbath

I mean, we’ve been on a strict and unappealing diet for 5 weeks. The sear wasn’t *The Same* but it was good and there’s no way I was getting ANY use of of the skillets here after reading a couple sites on the reverse sear. Frankly not smoking us out of the place felt like an accomplishment all its own. Hell, I was afraid I’d forgotten how to cook.

Wife and I grubbed without talking for about 20 mins and then we were full and the dogs got a big treat. I’ll probably get a Raider Dog at the game Monday but other than that I think I’m fulfilled for now. So gracias again.

Interesting timing, because I just learned this today.

The LDS church does not actually proscribe caffeine. Joseph Smith declared that Mormons should not drink alcohol or “hot drinks,” meaning tea and coffee. Some Mormons interpret this to mean that caffeine is the problem, but that’s not literally what was said, so others see caffeinated cold drinks like cola as fine.

Of course, even those who recognize rules don’t always follow them. I’m told there’s an old joke about how the way you make sure your Mormon fishing buddy doesn’t drink all your beer is to invite a second Mormon.

My 9-11 story.

I was managing multiple print and mail facilities and 2 were in El Segundo right next door to LAX.

I still work at one of them.

Dating, fuck seriously like 3 girls and kind of recent but could be current blonde from Palos Verdes, no shit kids Catalina is in her back yard.

Phone rings and I’m fucking exhausted already.

“Wow, this shit is crazy. You watching this?”

I’m still sorting out this relationship and this is a weird call.

I watched the 2nd tower fall as it happened on NBC.

I drove to work to get my people the fuck out of there. I work next door to LAX and two of the planes that crashed were heading to LA.

We drove home on Pacific Coast Highway because it’s all anarchy and shit now, right?

Bought 200 dollars worth of meat and equal amounts of alcohol.

Then we got high and played a game of Risk.

That’s my 9-11 story.

And I’ll stand by it.

2
Sharkbait

Better than mine. I woke up just in time to watch the second plane hit. The reason I woke up late was because I was scheduled to have surgery that morning. I was the last non emergency surgery in that hospital, since they were expecting people to be helicoptered in from New York

1
yeah right

Holy shit.

1
Dunstan

Mine is less interesting.

I woke up early because I was considering driving to Pasadena to watch the oral arguments for a case before the 9th Circuit that I was working on — I had helped write the briefs, but the partner would be arguing it. I hadn’t decided whether I was going to go or not because I was really interested in the case, but it would be nonbillable time, i.e. I would be essentially going on my own time.

So I was up early in my apartment in L.A., and in those days I listened to Howard Stern in the mornings. Howard was ranting some weird shit about “what does this mean? Are we at war?” and taking calls from confused New Yorkers, and it took my groggy mind a good 10-15 minutes before I decided I should wander into the living room and turn in CNN to see if something was actually happening or this was some weird War of the Worlds thing.

Anyway, I spent the next couple of hours watching cable news. I later learned that, unsurprisingly, the hearing in Pasadena was cancelled. I called in to the office and it was closed, which seemed like an obvious call — this was an office in the Die Hard building in Century City — though that didn’t stop another partner from later griping to me about how he didn’t think the firm should have closed that day. (God forbid the partners lose a few dollars of income.) Like, obviously, it was CRAZY to think that a major office tower in L.A. might be dangerous that day.

I had Tuesday off from my job so I slept in that morning. When I woke up, all the plane have crashed and both towers have fallen.

I fell asleep in one Historical Era and woke up in an entirely different one.

1
Anthony In TX

I was 22, working at an oilfield dot-com startup.
When my alarm went off, the reports were just starting to come in that the first tower had been hit. I woke up to the radio at the time, so in between snoozes and coming out of sleep, I thought it was some morning show prank. It didn’t seem real and didn’t make any sense.
Once it started to come clear that it was all too real, I turned on the TV and was watching as the 2nd plane hit. I finished getting ready for work in a daze, headed in, and we all just sort of sat around keeping an eye on the news, wondering what in world had just happened and what was next. Everyone was speculating about where the next attack would happen: LA? The oil refineries of Houston? Chicago?
The scariest thing was that night: all the planes were grounded, and I heard fighter jets fly over my house. Since no one knew what was happening or what was going to happen, that scared the hell out of me. I was a lot more religious back then and prayed really hard that it was just a precaution and not an all-out war starting in our back yard.

Gumbygirl

We were living in Atlanta, and Gumby was working from home. He had the tv on to get sports news. I was packing to start driving to PA with my son, because my mom was in the hospital. She had a minor heart attack the day before. Gumby said a plane had just crashed into the World Trade Center. While we were watching, the other one hit. It was soooo bad. Obviously we didn’t drive to PA. That evening, we stood on our balcony and couldn’t believe there were no planes in the sky. It was strange and terrible.

I don’t have a story but Mrs GTD was one of the few civilians in the air that afternoon. She was in a hot-air balloon that day with some of her family. They had no idea what was going on that day. Their ride was cut short as they did need to land to clear the airspace. I’m sure they were on radar and being watched until they landed.
Upon landing they soon figured out what was going on and headed for home to watch the news like the rest of us

I heard an interview on the Milk Street podcast recently about how cognac became a thing among African-Americans. It’s an interesting story. In a nutshell, as I recall it:

1) Lots of American GIs tried it during WWII
2) The most popular American liquor at the time, bourbon, was often marketed in a subtle or not-so-subtly racist way — lots of iconography about the Old South, etc.
3) Cognac companies, especially Hennessey, embraced the African-American market and ran their ad campaigns accordingly, and hired black executives
4) Just when sales were starting to drop in the 90s, hip-hop embraced it and gave it a resurgence

Early in law school, a friend from out of town visited, and we ended up listening to Tiffany loudly late one drunken night. It made sense at the time. Actually, it still makes sense to me. But my dorm neighbor did not appreciate it for some reason.

I watched a couple of minutes of Djokovic’ s last match, and I thought nope, still hateful. I don’t mind watching the ladies, but not if there is footbaw on.
