I'd just like to say that I like the Tap. It never looked like a fun place from the outside, but it is, and I like it. I like it a lot. My gang and I will be frequenting that establishment from now on on Thursday nights, so if you're looking for me or looking to avoid me (um, ahem)--not that anyone would ever want to avoid me :) --that's where we'll be! There are some mighty fine boys there, and Bobby even likes the place now that someone turned him into a frat boy. :) So, if anyone was wondering where the cute guys are on Thursday nights, apparently, they are all at the Tap. There are lots and lots there--really, they're very good looking.
Oh, and the Peanut Festival I went to was in Floresville which is near San Antonio. Floresville is a fantabulous place, but alas it is not the Tap. :)
Oh, and I'm not the least bit intoxicated, so this isn't drunken rambling. I really like the Tap. :) Side note--it is so incredibly cold at my house!! I wish I could find my sweat pants! :(

This week on Sidelines: "Ugly A&M track runners and their implied lesbianic relationships with their butch, dyke roommate".

Goddamn they are making A&M look classy!!

Ya shouldn't a' done that, he's just a boy...poor li'l feller...

anyways, I don't think it's for using ... I think it's just for lookin' through.

News Bulletin: The time is now 6:30 pm on October the 18, 2001, and lcc still sucks.

LCC can suck mah balls. And no, I will not present them.

No, you were glaring at lcc.

If logic of any kind prevailed in college football, then there wouldn't be five or ten upsets a week.

Yes, this is a website about drinking and partying, but then again, we are in college and I was thinking some of us might have the capacity to debate intellectual thoughts. I'm not looking at you, LCC.

Id like to recant my first statement (this does not let you off the hook matt) because that whole bible/god shit is a nice fairy tale. it belongs in the fiction section.

God doesnt like to talk about lcc, it angers him so (apparently, it was the place all of the snake excrement went).

Matt uses exactly no logic when talking about m&a football. I dont get it. Matt, if you apply your stupid logic to the ut game, your going to lose that as well. Whether or not you try to use logic though, m&a is still going to lose.

If this webpage has the purpose of letting college students of different schools revel in the spirit of drinking and the on going pursuit of ridiculing the dust blown neighbor of the North (Tech) then does the discussion of religion in said webpage mean that drinking has lost the majority interest? or does it prove that when intoxicated enough the topics of philosophy and religion tend to be explained more and more through the Cuervo?

And being a Texan and saying God Blessed Texas, then does that also mean he slipped up when he created Lubbock?

In former times, one sought to prove that there is no God - today one indicates how the belief that there is a God arose and how this belief acquired its weight and importance: a counter-proof that there is no God thereby becomes superfluous.- When in former times one had refuted the 'proofs of the existence of God' put forward, there always remained the doubt whether better proofs might not be adduced than those just refuted: in those days atheists did not know how to make a clean sweep.

Speaking of God, I saw an interesting video clip on Austin public access yesterday of one of those campus preachers. Now, usually I get annoyed with those campus preachers because it seems like they go out of their way to cram one viewpoint down everyone's throat, and they have no respect for a plurality or diversity of opinion on an issue. But this particular clip showed the preacher engaging in a debate with someone over the "proof" of the existance of a God. The person in the audience was asking the preacher to "show him one shred of proof that God exists". I was thinking....good question. And then the preacher answered by asking him if he could "prove" that someone had a rational mind. The only "proof" we have of someone possessing a rational mind is through their behavior and through their speech. His point was that you can't really "prove" much of anything, you can only point to evidence of it's existance and then infer it's existance. Whether you think the evidence of a God is reliable or not, it exists nonetheless...and thus, the preacher said he relies on that evidence to support the existance of a God.

He also argued for the existance of a God because of the complexity of humans and of the universe, and the infinitely small chance that it all came about by mere random chance. Again, the evidence (the complexity of humans) points to the existance of a God and/or an intelligent creator. It's like saying that the computer I'm typing on just appeared by chance and happened to be constructed without the aid of an intelligent being.

Quite interesting arguments for the existance of a God or of an intelligent creator. I'm not saying he was right or wrong. My point is that, for once, a campus preacher was using logic and rationale instead of emotion and scare tactics.

Ok, sorry for the religious/philosophical tangent. Uhhhh....who's getting drunk tonight?

I'm pretty sure that dog's name is victory...not positive though....anyhow, that musberger guy (sp?)--is he on ABC? if so, i really really hate him. ABC doesn't even seem to talk nice about us when we're obviously the better team...or when we're winning or anything--oh it's so freaking frustrating.
Oh--and brian played a pretty good game of softball--I was awful. I stood in the outfield most of the time and prayed that none of the balls would come my way. Luckily, only one did, it rolled in on the ground and I somehow caught it without it going between my legs. To all of you nonbelievers out there, that should show you that there is a God after all. :)

For me to poop on.

mark farris a human pez dispenser? please. he is obviously more one of those bobble-head toys that people stick on their dashboard for their friends to laugh at when they're drunk.

Oh, and if anyone is bored and looking for some good action tonight: Take Atlanta and the under tonight.

I've got a few friends at Baylor, so I always enjoy bantering about the football games... But let me tell you, nothing, not even the A&M game, was more heartbreaking for them then last weekend against Nebraska. Only down 14-7 against the #4 team in the nation with 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, Nebraska railed off 34 unanswered (27 coming in the 4th quarter), and blew them out 48-7... Of course Baylor also had that upset of Kansas in basketball -- one of the most entertaining games I've ever been able to attend.

Yeah so our offense didn't show up to the Baylor game. But that can't be used to justify how bad we suck every year since we have still never lost to Baylor in Big XII play. I recall one team that has lost to Baylor and given them one of their three "miraculous" wins. Hmmm...

Hey, they lost to both last year--here's hoping it happens again.

Here is the difference. Beating A&M or UT is everything to Tech. Sporting events are the only thing they can ever beat us in. If they beat us in football, they think somehow Tech is better than A&M overall. If we beat them, it just means we are better than them in every way possible.

Uhhh, if A&M loses to LCC, I'll still drink....but it won't be happy drinking, it'll be sad/embarrassed/feel-like-my-nuts-got-cut-off drinking. God help us all.

All -
See, I'm guilty of doing the same thing that I hate in other people - going to extremes. Nothing is as black and white as I would like us to believe. Especially in terms of the UT-A&M game. Of course I'm not going to predict a win for the Ag's because of our starting QB or the mythical homefield advantage, or anything, really. I like our team on paper, I like our team on the field, I like our team all the way around. My comments stand for the people who were talking about us losing to CU - no way in hell. As for A&M, it's going to be close, no doubt about it. Each team has tendencies that the other team is well prepared to exploit - A&M struggles on offense at times, while Simms has been known to turn colorblind for no apparent reason. In addition, Kyle is a tough place to play. My honest prediction is UT 27, A&M 17.

Can't we all just get along? And Bluto, please, please, pleeeeeeease, beat Tech this year, ok?
