  1. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 11:31 AM) It wasn't like these two kids just came up with an impromptu song out of nowhere. I am sure they heard it from their older fraternity brothers, who had it passed down by other guys. These guys were just dumb enough to sing it in front of people not part of the fraternity. The core of the problem is deeper than just these two idiots. It's a historically racist fraternity started at Bama. It doesnt surprise me. Many of the southern fraternities including many of the black ones were founded with segregation and racism as part of their core values. However Oklahoma and its campus arent exactly black friendly, so the deeper issue is why they felt it was ok to sing something like that in front of people at a date party. Clearly there is some accepted level of Racism at that school.
  2. I feel bad for the kids that werent on the bus and werent participating in the chant. You were guilty by association and now you have no place to live in March.
  3. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 01:06 AM) Man I would love a grill section on the stove for during the winter months, not sure how well they actually work but it sounds great to me. You would need a super awesome hood for it, but it would be unreal to have that. Luckily its back to grilling season and we can forget about how awful its been.
  4. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 11, 2015 -> 01:11 AM) I would be concerned about the sound quality, that's a lot of metal the sound would be bouncing off of. If they came up with a design to minimize that impact then it's a pretty great idea. And if they could replace your satellite speakers in a 7.2 layout that would be really cool, but not sure how well they would play into that setup especially in regards to placement. Reviews say its good, but I will report back when I receive them. I dont think its supposed to replace anything but the typical bluetooth speaker.
  5. OU has 5% black students on campus. It's not exactly a haven of acceptance for other races. Couple that with a historically racist fraternity, alcohol and camera phones and you get this situation. It's not like its the only racist thing that has ever been said at a fraternity party, white or black or whatever. It just so happened to be caught on camera.
  6. QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 02:49 PM) That's quite expensive considering the sheer amount of these I'd want. Looks like you go master+slave in this set and then can add 7 more slaves
  7. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 02:39 PM) Wow that's really cool actually. My aunt just bought a really nice house and she wants me to help her buy all her electronic needs and I'll pitch this to her as an idea. Her new place is just littered with can lighting. Here is a review video. Man, I may buy the two light set and play around with it.
  8. My Kenmore elite fridge and dishwashers are the balls. Fantastic machines.
  9. QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 11:41 AM) Indy has put so much effort into finding the right running back...maybe they should have put it into their oline? Boom Herron was actually coming along behind that s*** line.
  10. I am really intrigued by this product http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JCE14AU/ref=wl...L10ER&psc=1
  11. QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 06:55 PM) A lot of newer watches don't require this. I almost never manually wind my watch, it does it through motion, I'm sure your watch does this also. You wear a GMT or a Sub? Mine is a newer Sub so it doesnt require it, but I have friends that love the vintage stuff that require winding.
  12. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 03:55 PM) Well put: http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/the-regul...dium=socialflow edit: also, the best watch I ever had was that super mario bros 3 watch. Best thing ever for an 8 year old. Anyone spending more than about $100 bucks on a watch needs to reevaluate their life. I disagree with the bolded immensely however the author of that article hit on something that makes more sense, spending a lot of money on a DISPOSABLE watch is insane. Most hight quality watches last forever and can be passed down for generations if you want to. My Rolex wont ever be "old technology" like this version of a watch will be.
  13. QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 02:19 PM) The battery life at least makes sense compared to manual watches, though, where you have to wind every morning. But winding is a little easier than charging for hours. But totally agree on watch market. This isn't replacing a phone...it's replacing a watch. They make automatic winders for watches, so its still a b****. People who are in to watches own these and their watches are super expensive compared to this piece.
  14. QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 02:14 PM) The watch market is a different kind of beast... Personally, I have little interest in the smart watch category, but 300-500$ isn't very expensive for a watch, either, especially if it's made nicely, and this appears to be made very nicely. The battery life on all of these watches are abysmal, even the ones that are far more limited than Apple's...but they're also doing a hell of a lot more than a standard watch does...but that being said, I don't need my watch to do much, it's jewelry. 300 bucks is a bottom rung watch for this target market. 1,000 is probably average.
  15. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 11:39 AM) Favreau, right? Yep. As a father it probably hit home even more, but I really liked it.
  16. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) that "scout" was Vinny Cerrato. So it isnt just some guy But he's a s***ty actor. Also, whens the last time that guy was actively working as a scout? There is always some guy with another opinion especially when their current position is as a radio personality.
  17. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 11:16 AM) SELFIE! That word is going to define this generation of morons.
  18. I really really liked the movie "Chef"
  19. QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 10:26 AM) Some previous Redskins exec/scout was on the radio this morning claiming that McPhee is a great pass rusher but has no ability to play the run at all. I have seen very little of him. Does anyone know how true this is? Ah yes, the obligatory "scout" comments. The guy is going to rush the passer in a 3-4, its a good deal.
  20. I just really want to see Duke and Kentucky face off. I like UVA, Duke, UK and Arizona. Of course the conference tourneys may change my mind.
  21. I saw Yogi is maybe going pro. Is he highly rated in the draft?
  22. Hornsby making that shot makes for the best tag lines.
  23. QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 7, 2015 -> 04:55 PM) And the replay on that last Rice jump shot is exactly why I complain about refs. Davis held and grabbed him multiple times and they didn't call it. Any contact on Illinois at the other end is being called today. Purdue fouls on every single possession and has 6 fouls on them in the game. It is ridiculous. They are at home in the Big Ten. What do your expect? It's why I almost never watch away games.
