Lazy Youtube blogging, I know, but this is worth it

Back in the saddle

Feliz Año Nuevo!

Hooray for Sooners crashing into the mountain! Hooray for fantastic endings to fantastic games! This is one of those rare moments when you can say "that was one of the best X's EVER" or "that was one of the greatest X's of all time" and it not be hyperbole. If you assed out early, you should kill yourself.

Fiutak's got stream of consciousness notes; read them while you watch this on repeat and maintain a constant state of goosebumpage:



Statue of fucking Liberty, baby!

By the way, if Barry Alvarez and whatever other shitclown they had doing color commentary are around for the remaining three BCS games on FOX, I'm probably going to pour hot wax down both my ear canals. I was actually surprised when Brenneman hadn't committed suicide by halftime. That guy's a trooper.

And wow, holy shit! Remember the one Boise cheerleader they kept showing over and over again? The hot one? Look!


The Triumvirate is taking a field trip to Maine next week. It's going to be legend...wait for it...ary.

Well, there go our seats

You watched them put up the Gidzillatron via webcam, now witness the demolition of the North End Zone.

Warp 5, Mr. Sulu!

Merrill Hoge is clairvoyant

What a fucking tard.

Via the 'Spin.

Ah, well...

I don't want to to be too apocaplyptic, because it's really not the end of the world. I knew our secondary wasn't anywhere near an elite level, but I thought that at this point in the season they'd already seen the best any other team would be able to throw at us. Not so much, as K-State was relentless in their ass-raping of our coverage. Seriously, my butthole was starting to hurt just watching it.

The good news is that we're still going to the Fiesta Bowl; the bad news is that it won't be for the championship iteration. Be thankful as hell that we're playing the poor Aggies next game, and not ou, who has turned on the heat all of a sudden. We'll take out some aggression on A&M, put the hurtin' on Nebraska, then play Boise State in the desert for another BCS victory.

Like I say, it's not the end of the world, it's just that our bar is set so fucking high - and that's the way it should be.

By Sunday morning, I had received 17 suicide notes between my voicemail and text messaging. I hope you're all still alive.

We must break them

This is the first year in several that I have absolutely no worries about the ou game. I keep trying to come up with reasons why it may end up being close, but none of them seem to hold much credence. I guess if we turn the ball over 3+ times and Peterson rushes for 200+ yards we might have some sort of nailbiter. Otherwise, I'm going with a 3 touchdown victory.

I love this tshirt:

Excitement

I got nothin'.

My every last thought is being consumed by our game, and how I can't wait until tomorrow when I pull into Austin.

And Head On.

We Can't Lose

I don't remember seeing this on saturday, but we officially can't lose....ever again.

We're there

As Cole just reminded me, it is now T minus 18 hours until we all collectively orgasm in our pants.

A few weeks back, Limas won the Heisman in my NCAA 2007 Dynasty. A sign of things to come?

I just released some pre-cum.

We're famous!

Kinda.

I check my hotmail about once every two weeks these days, so I just got the heads up on this from Cody, even though he emailed it forever ago.

From texassports.com:

We're O-zoning!

I like how the caption calls us "students".

Texas size

Almost.

Cast summon monster IX!!!

I order my comic books online from Westfield. You pre-order 2-3 months in advance, then they ship once a month. Not only do they offer an outstanding selection from a wide variety of publishers, but you can get a pretty decent discount off the cover price. Still, nothing beats a real, live comic book store. After living down here more than a year and a half now, I decided last weekend that it was high time I visited a local gig.

The shop I found was down on El Dorado. While their comic offering was pretty typical, it was clear to see that their real bread and butter was tabletop gaming. About two thirds of the wall space was devoted to Warhammer, Magic, AD&D, and the like. What was most impressive, though, is that there were tables set up where kids (and adults, I guess) were actually playing games.

Sure, when I was a kid I spent my fair share of Friday and Saturday nights rolling my 20-sided die and casting magic missile, throwing LAN parties for some Warcraft/Starcraft/Unreal Tourney action, MUDding, or just being a general nerd. But that was all fun and games and mostly just something to do before I discovered the joy of drugs.

These guys were fucking hardcore, though. I mean, it was obvious that they had invested massive amounts of time and energy into building up their armies or decks or whatever they were playing with, and that you could probably find them in that exact same spot just about every weekend. Such dedication.

I was almost jealous of them, that they had found themselves such an intense niche. After all, everybody needs a niche, and theirs was possibly the niche par excellence. The camaraderie was evident, as was the advanced level of strategery. I also got a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that even social losers like those kids had a place to go where they knew that they were a part of something.

Anyway, I didn't find any comics I needed, then I went home and got drunk. How's that for a niche?

Not so much a niche as a way of life: Longhorn Football.
