Hear that college football fans? That is the "Legion of Boom" Longhorn Defense and they just lit up another fool!
Texas won 47-14 and it was nowhere near that close.
Statistically Texas has the best defense in the country. And #1 run against the run.
You wanna spew some Hatorade and say Texas hasn't played anyone, cool. But the two best teams they have played 0U and OSU couldn't do anything against the 'Horns D. Hell 0U was like -20 yards rushing....FOR THE GAME!! Even mighty Florida couldn't get anywhere close to that against the Sooners last year.
Tebow and McElroy? You chumps have no idea what is heading your way baby!! This is the best secondary in the game today! McElroy won't be able to read the scheme Coach Boom has coming at you. And T2, with that weak sidearm delivery that is usually 5 yards off target that your WR's bail you out by outrunning other DB's...you throw that weak stuff against the "Legion of Boom" and they will be high-stepping into the endzone!
One other thing is that this defense frickin' scores baby!! Today a pick 6 and a safety! They have the best safety in college football (Earl Thomas) sorry Mayes and that chump from the other UT. Aaron Williams at CB is a player you will hear an awful lot from in the future. Dude is a freak. I can't remember a defense that scored as often as this unit does.
Let me finish off by saying that of the big three...Texas, 'Bama, and UF...only Texas hasn't relied on numerous referee involvement to bail us out. Texas fans are confident in our team, you don't hear us thanking God for bye weeks in order to rest our team ala Tide Nation.
Bring it baby!! Bright lights! Big cities! Beautiful ladies! Austin Texas! Pasadena California! Wherever you want us to play, whomever you want us to play...the 'Horns are coming to town baby! So you Gators and Tide fans better hide your women...because Jordan and Colt are in town, and Shipleys got his guitar.

At first it was fresh, watching him yelling, his teammates responding, and then pumping his fist ala Tiger Woods. But as usual, the media OD's on it and it gets on my nerves.
Kinda like a few years ago when Ray Ray did his pregame introduction stomp dance. I was like.."Wow! This dude is frickin' off the chain! He is about to knock some muthas' head off!!" Now, it is on commercials, it is part of every Raven weekly highlight clip...it is old man. Now he just looks stoopid.
Remember in the mid 90's when NBC and ESPN did about 10 different pieces on Glen Rice and how he gets his psyche on pre game by listening to "I believe I can fly." That was lame. That song still sucks.
What do I like...D coordinators doing the jumping "backbump" when their players run off the field after a big play. That's fresh. New blood, something different.
-----
I love that thread. "SEC football puts me to sleep".
Glad you said it. I always thought it, just didn't want to get flamed/celled for saying it.
How do you know your D is just so frickin' tough. Maybe the SEC offenses just suck. I know, I know..."We got the rings babyyyyy!!"
It is a racket. The SEC champion is always gonna be in the national title game as long as they don't have 3 or more losses. And we have seen that the SEC suits/zebras will make sure that doesn't happen. Then more than likely they will play for the glass paper weight in Miami, Atlanta, or New Orleans. All SEC hotbeds. I don't like to look up facts, takes to much time. But has an SEC team ever won the glass football in the Rose Bowl?
------
Hell Yeah!! CODMW2 is out in a day! Gonna get my frag on biyatches. If anyone is cool, looking for a relaxed, easy going, realistic, not peakin' on Monster/RedBull/5HE/or Rockstar energy drinks...look me up...my GT is Laettner32.
------
People I can't stand....Matt Millen, Screamin' A. Smith, Howie Long, Dan Patrick, and Seinfeld.
I like Neon Deion. But on the NFL Network if he talks for to long he gets on my damn nerves.
Longtime Jim Rome listener..a clone. But if he keeps up with all the horse racing talk/takes/interviews it's gonna be "BOOM! outta here." I got options now in the ATX..Charlie Hodge on from 10-2, and 104.9 from 1-4. I'm already switching back and forth, I use to never do that.
------
I've said this before, but if you are bored and looking for something fresh try listening to "The Bottom Line" 104.9 FM ESPN radio. They stream. Listen at 2 PM CST. Chip and Sean have the best sports talk show in central Texas. Tons of Longhorn talk, Football, talk...and good laughs.
Also "The Charlie Hodge Halftime Show" is available on Itunes. Dude is hilarious. If you're a 18-36 male you will love it. Kinda like a Family Guy episode. Tons of comments, he goes in many different directions, not a scripted show...at least not that much. No it isn't a "Morning Zoo" type show either.
------
Take care....

Real quick I just wanna say that my favorite NCAA FB team is the University of Texas.
I'm not saying they're the greatest thing since internet porn. I'm not saying they're the best team in the country as of today. All I am saying is to all those Raggedy Anne and Andys' out there saying that Texas strength of schedule "sucks" and that we haven't "beaten anybody" and that either Boise St., Cincy or TCU should be ranked ahead of us....WRONG!
I love when people say Texas is ranked to high because of their SOS, and rank us behind Cincy or TCU. Each of those teams have WORSE SOS than Texas! According to guru Phil Steele...Texas SOS is 40. Cincy is 70, TCU 88, and BSU is 117! Nothing like dissing Texas for a bad SOS only to rank three other teams with a worse SOS ahead of 'em. These are probaby the same guys that blast the NCAA for not knowing a damn thing.

To the stu that wrote a "letter to the editor" of the Austin American Statesman regarding the lack of class Texas fans showed at a local "chicken wing" bar who cheered when Sam Bradford got hurt early in the game against Texas.
Really? Are you frickin' serious? Is this the first time you ever watched a game with other adults, in a bar?
I watched this game at a bar, and yeah...when SB went down the place erupted. It doesn't mean anyone meant the guy serious injury. It just means they are in "pack mentality" and fueled up on beer and liquor. And emotion is getting the best of 'em at that moment. IT IS A FRICKIN' WING BAR! Not a public library!
People wanna see the enemy lit up! Planted in the turf! Looking out their earhole! Needing some smelling salts....
No one wanted the kid hurt seriously, for the rest of the year. O.K...most of us didn't.
And before ZeroU fan gets all sportsmanship on us remember....a guy walked into a bar in Oklahoma wearing Texas gear, got confronted by a fueled up Sooner fan, and altercation occured, and the Longhorn fan ended up leaving the bar with his "bag" in a plastic cup full of ice, and an ambulance ride to the ER. So don't try to tell us how to be classy fans, and keep your hands on your own "pouch"!
.....
See ya guys....and remember...The first words you hear upon entering a doctors office or hospital emergency room shouldn't be..."What insurance do you have?"
Late.
In High School, that was reserved for girls that had no chance of being a cheerleader or in drill team. They were not talented enough to play an instrument in the band, or at best could play an instrument...but just couldn't march and play at the same time.
---
Journey is in Austin tonight. I loved me some Journey back in the day, but c'mon...this isn't Journey. It's like going to see the 'Dead without Jerry Garcia. I know the new kid has got some pipes, and if you close your eyes he sounds like Steve Perry. But let go, Journey is dead and this is Journey 2.0.
At least the new kid is better looking than Steve Perry. I mean, Steve was one of the best voices I ever heard, but he was a squirrely looking dude. He looked like he should be guessing your weight at a carnival, not fronting one of the best bands of the late 70's to mid 80's.

Have a good week.

I'm sick of it, granted I don't care for Faith Hill on Sunday Night Football in America, Hank W Jr. on Monday Nights...Dave Matthews for College Football, and now frickin' Bon Jovi for the MLB Postseason.
Enough already!
Shut the hell up over the hill musicians and wait by your phones for "Behind the Music" to call and request an interview for their story on how you started out being about the music, got way into drugs, broke up the band, and now it's time for a new beginning and healing wounds.
That is all.

Texas v. Tech
Tebow v. Kiffen
Cowboys opening up the new season in their new stadium!
I'm pumped! But first I gotta take one of my shorties to his soccer game so he can go "Victory" on some fools!
Just saw "Shoot 'em Up" with Clive Owen and it was a good flic! Way over the top, but in a cool way. Tons of action, a really hot babe, and Owen always plays a good anti-hero!
Kids were freaking out when I told them that back in my day, we had 4 channels, and cartoons only came on Saturday mornings for 4 hours or so. They are so used to Cartoon Network, 4 Nickelodeons, etc...They think I had it rough.
Love the story of that dude who broke into a house, stole some goods, but before he left he logged onto his Facebook page. He forgot to logoff when he left. Busted.
Last night I thought of something to "blast off" on. Now I can't remember...I just thought of something else!
My wife!.
When the trash is full, she ties it and leaves it in the bin. So when someone else comes along, they have to pull out the bag..take it out, then put in the new bag. I told her to stop, but she did it again yesterday.
What is up with these fools that blog like only one sentence.
Following JayMohr37 on twitter. He's a real funny dude.
I know it's kinda weak this week, but I feel bad if I don't put something up around once a week.
Have a good weekend!!

Blast Off to all those suckas saying that Blount "sucker punched" Hout.
Was it bush. Fine.
Was it dumb. Cool.
But it was not a sucker punch! First off Hout was spouting off at the mouth talking junk.
Second. Hout initiated the physical contact by brushing shoulders.
Third. Did you get a look at that Euro-John Travolta-Staying Alive "headband" that Hout was rocking? Any Div. I player that wears a headband Olivia Newton John wore in her "Let's get Physical" video deserves to get his lights turned off.
C'mon! Now Kermit Washington turning Rudy T's face into a jigsaw puzzle...THAT was a sucker punch! Hell that is the definition of a sucker punch. Now if Rudy was walking up court, jawing in Kermits face, and poking him in the chest...and then Kermit disintegrated his face...fine. Then Rudy would have deserved a right cross. And Kermit wouldn't have been blackballed from the "Association" for life.
If your walking to your car after a night in the club and some peaking - fueled up frat boy gets in YOUR grill and starts spewing vulgarities at you AND then pokes you in your chest, flips off your cap, or bangs/brushes shoulders with you...what are you gonna do? Especially if know you got plenty of back up and security is close by in case you start getting pummeled? I don't care to fight, but hell I would try to get the guy in an armbar at least...make him tap out.
At the least, that Hout dude won't be getting in other players grills talking smack anymore. Or if he does, he will leave his headgear on.
P.S. I feel sorry for Houts' dad. You know he has been walking around town all geared up in Boise St. apparel. Pins that say "I'm #??'s Dad!" Feeling proud when people ask him what his son is up to nowadays..."Well, he got a scholarship to play football at Boise St.!"
Now when people ask him that question, he is just dreading the moment people ask him if he knows "that kid" that got his clock cleaned the other night. The old man, takes a deep breath, and owns up that it was his kid acting like a prick, then showing the world his glass jaw and going down for a nap after one hit.

Finally after I wake up in the A.M., and swear to never touch another drop of alcohol again...I turn on SportsCenter for no real reason other than habit. Only to see boring, repetitive MLB highlights ad nauseum. C'mon! How many "highlights" are there really in a baseball game? Wow! A double play! Are you serious? Can't wait to get to work and tell the fellas' about that play!
Who cares?
Show me T. Jackson of the Minnesota Vikings getting choke-slammed while trying to stop a defender running back an INT for a TD!
Football is only half of it. The parties! The BBQ's! The beer! The whole damn scene baby!

What the hell do tennis players pack in that frickin' duffel bag they all carry to the court before the match begins?
You seen this? Every SC highlight of tennis they show one or more of the players walking to the court carrying a load on their back that Saint Nick wouldn't do. Imagine if you broke into a Best Buy with a duffel bag and got to take whatever you wanted....that is nothing compared to what these stu's carry. What do you need? A racket, fine. Some bottles of water, cool. A towel or two..whatever. Forget golf, caddies should get some OT carrying Andy Roddicks bag. Or one of the Williams sisters.
----
I am so sick of SEC nation! I don't have the time to look up "facts" but when was the last time they won a national championship when it wasn't on one of the teams home fields...or at least home state? UF...err, Tebow U. won it in Florida last year. Then that ridiculous two loss LSU team won it in Baton Rouge a few years ago. C'mon SEC! I'll shut up when you beat USC in the Rose Bowl like the 'Horns did! You think a two loss OU team, or Texas team would ever get a chance to play for the championship?
----
Try mixing in a little blue cheese crumbles into your hamburger patty. Awesome bro!

Really diggin' on the Beastie Boys "Pauls Boutique" album from '89. Back when it was released, I was praying for a "Licensed to Il 2". We didn't get it. For awhile I felt robbed. But not to long after listening to it, I really enjoyed it. Now it is considered by many of the "pro's" to be one of the best albums of all time...one that can never be duplicated due to the countless samples it incorporated before copyright law in music was really enforced like it is today. They even sampled off of the frickin' Beatles man! The Beatles! You owe it to yourself to give it a shot if you haven't already.
----
With Madden and NCAA '10 purchased, along with Batman Arkham Asylum..I think the only other two games I want the rest of the year are the next Call of Duty, and NHL.
----
Can't stand WWF wrestling. But I loved 'rasslin back in the "day". I have purchased several DVDS of Ric Flair, World Class Wrestling (the Von Erichs', and Wrestling Stars of the 80's. I love 'em. The Rock 'n Roll Express, Ricky Steamboat, The Fabulous Freebirds....I used to run in the door coming back from Mass on Sundays just to catch WCCW at 11 a.m. . Dad would be getting the grill ready, and all the cousins coming over to swim. Then at either noon or 3 p.m. it was Dallas Cowboys baby! What I wouldn't do to get a couple of those back.

Quit forcing this rivalry down our throats. I am no baseball fan truth be told, but I swear these guys play one another every other weekend. The so called "unbalanced schedule". Just another bad move by Selig...the All-Star game and its "now it means something" mode by allowing the winning division HFA in the World Series. Letting the AS game end in a tie. Fiddlesticks!
I would actually be a little interested in the Bos/NY rivalry back in the day, but now I could care less. If I miss a series, big deal..they'll play again next weekend!
The NCAA tournament was guilty of this with Duke and Kentucky. After the "greatest game ever played" the committee always put the two together so they would meet in the regional semi-final or finals. The announcers would always say corny stuff like.."and look at this! Another possible instant classic with Duke and Kentucky down the road!"
Let history write itself. If it happens it happens. Fate will work its way when it wants to.
-----
Chicks that cry at work.
How ackward is this? C'mon, there is a reason you get paid less money for the same job as men! Almost all of you have issues...and your hormones are naturally unbalanced. Look, I am no man of steel. I got a little choked up when my kids were born..the first time I got rejected by a girl, and when the Fat Boys broke up. But if you have to cry at work, do everyone a favor and excuse yourself to the bathroom, your car, or the smokers pavillion. You would be doing everyone a favor, and yourself too. No one looks at someone crying at work and thinks "Wow! Now that is someone that can handle a crisis! Johnson..back to the mailroom for you! Tell Nancy to come to my office..she's getting called up to the big leagues!"

Whatever happened to Adult-contemporary music? That pretty much means 80's music nowadays. Also, whatever happened to the duets? or duos? Like Hall and Oates, Loggins and Messina? The Phil Collins of the world (before he started working only on Disney soundtracks). Michael McDonald...
I think the Celine Dions and Michael Boltons of the 90's killed off the genre.
-----
Looking forward to picking up "Adventureland" manana. I hear it is pretty good, and I love movies with that take place in the 80's.
Gotta go, have to return my copy of "In Diana Jones and the Temple of Poon" to the store before 5:00 or I get charged an extra day.
C ya!

Next time you watch it, hell it runs on every channel, at all times...notice how it starts out. A dude is singing the opening lines to "Lollipop", then another guy pops up from below..nods to the original guy, and finishes putting on his clothes...First, what the hell was he doing kneeling down in front of another man? Second, why was he doing that when he wasn't fully dressed? A creepy commercial.
----
You ever wish you could have sex with the first person you ever had sex with..just to show 'em how good you've gotten?.."Look whose not crying now!"
(thank you for that one D. Attel)

Tim Burton blows. All his movies look alike. Way to much acid in his set designs. To much Johnny Depp. To weird for me. His Charlie and the Cholocate Factory blew chunks. This new Alice in Wonderland looks awful. But it will make tons as he always gets A+ franchises to work with...Batman, Charlie, Sleepy Hollow, Pee Wee Herman...hey Pee Wee was big in the mid 80's until he whipped out his crank in a movie theatre.
----
One of my favorite characters in a movie was Jame Gumb from Silence of the Lambs..Any dude that can prance around with his unit tucked between his thighs has talent. I love his lines in that movie..."It puts the lotion in the basket or it gets the hose again....PUT THE EFFIN LOTION IN THE BASKET!" The checkout girl at the grocery store didn't think it was to great a line when she tried to bag my lotion with other stuff last weekend...won't try that again...
Remember, A's hire other A's. B's hire C's.
Take care guys.

Wedding ceremonies that have the wedding party poppin' and lockin'/backspinning/"the worm" or moonwalking down the aisle...IN A CHURCH!
C'mon, granted I'm 37 years old. A geezer relative to this forum. Old School if you will. If you get married by a JP, or in a park, or in a VFW Hall...great..do the "Humpty Dance" down the wedding aisle for all I care. But not in a traditional church. This video on YouTube that has been everywhere, including local newscast just pissed me off.
I am a Catholic. I don't go to church alot anymore. But I do consider myself practicing. That is just no class to do that. I can't believe the Church (I don't know what denomination it was, but it was a nice church) allowed that to take place. The Catholic church I was married in had all kinds of regulations on the ceremony. To much in our opinion. Only one camera allowed to shoot inside the church. To keep the ceremony sacred they said. Fair enough. No way they would have allowed us to bump 'n grind our way to the Priest. Much less the altar of The Lord.
We had a great wedding. A beautiful ceremony and a fun and wild reception that people still come up to us today and say it was the funnest wedding they have ever been to. My sister had a monster wedding. They spent A LOT of money as my BIL is a lawyer for a major worldwide law firm. I was there. It was ritzy. The most expensive, high dollar wedding I have ever seen...people still tell us ours was just more fun. Ha! take that Sandy!!
Sorry. But if you care enough to get married in a church. Be respectful. Be humble. Act like you have been in a church before. If you want to headspin and "crabwalk" do it at a Hall or something. Hell, save it for the reception. What next? The bride slidin' down the Crucifix upside down like she was working at a "gentlemens club".
Just saw "Risky Business" again. Good flick. Love the soundtrack featuring Tangerine Dream. Gotta find it.
Football season hurry up!
Why the hell is CBSTV showing reruns of the 2009 NCAA Mens Basketball Tournament? One of the boringest, least suspenseful, drowsiness inducing tourneys in several years over and over again the past two weeks? Show us some pigskin baby! I love college hoops, just not in early August. CBS has SEC football rights right? Show us some of those replays! Wait, that was the conference with no offense last year right...games where the winning team scored 3 points in a conference game...screw it...put hoops back on.
Gotten back into "The Human League". Awesome 80's band. Not a one hit wonder group.
Peace. Thanks for reading.

"Do you have a (blank) card sir?"
Everywhere you go nowadays. Everywhere! You are asked at the counter if you have a "saver" card, or something like it. Tetco Gas, Home Depot, EB/Gamestop, Radio Shack, Baskin Robbins, Best Buy, and grocery stores everywhere. Back in "the day" the only places you needed a card to shop was Blockbuster Video or the Public Library.
The worst part about it is how they give you the sell speech if your not a member at the checkout counter. "thanks for shopping at Best Buy, you know if you sign up for our Reward Zone card you can save 2$ on this purchase, it only takes a minute sir!" Look Jolene...if saving $2 was a priority of mine right now would I be spending money on "Wrestling Stars of the 80's, Sir Mix-a-lots Greatest Hits, and a movie size box of Raisinets? I don't want anymore stinkin' cards!

I have found a great frickin' podcast! Available thru Itune, it's free, and it's been around awhile so it has tons of back issues!
"Stuck in the 80's". As it sounds it is a podcast dedicated to all things 80's. I know it sounds cheesy, but the hosts (2 guys and sometimes 1 chick) are real funny and have good chemistry. They have really unique and interesting topics each show, not to mention some pretty good B and C list interviews...John Oates, Andy Taylor (guitarists of Duran Duran), Adam Curry (former MTV VJ). These guys actually are interesting to listen to since most of their careers they've been outshone by other, more famous bandmembers.
What I don't tell anyone who knows me what I have on my Ipod....
Grease Soundtrack, several New Kids on the Block songs, and some Wilson Phillips.
Thinkin' about calling in sick tomorrow so I can get my NCAA '10 on!
Anyhow, have a great weekend guys...thanks for reading.

"They're both winners!"
This is all I heard and read in regards to the Wimbledon Mens Final with Federer and Roddick. Don't get me wrong, I could really care less about tennis. But I was at a kids birthday party and most of the adults were watching this match take place, so I joined them. Seemed good, kinda interesting...but if a college or pro football game was on trust me I wouldn't be watching.
Anyway. Over the following few days on talk radio, ESPN, and the newspaper all I heard was how great a match it was and how Andy Roddicks performance was also worthy of a victory. No. It wasn't. He lost. Scoreboard. I believe on ESPN I heard the announcer actually say that "...history will only remember two winners in this final!" That is incorrect. As admirable as Roddick performed he lost, and that is how history will remember it.
When you look up Wimbledon Championships on Wikipedia, Andy Roddicks name will not be there next to 2009. Federers will.
I have heard this before whenever a real good game is over. Most notably the Kentucky Wildcats in regards to their loss to Duke in the '92 regional finals. The "Laettners' Shot" game. In his book Pitino said at the post game handshake with K, "...our guys won too." No they didn't Rick.
This is part of what is wrong with America. Why does everyone have to be a winner? Why does everyone get a ribbon? Why is dodgeball outlawed in elementary/secondary schools across America? This is the first step towards becoming a British colony again. Or "turning Red".
Sorry, but losers of every degree are needed in society. Hell, we can't all be astronauts. Dammitt! Someone needs to keep that fryer going! The fat kid needs to realize he will never amount to anything but a joke in gym class unless he puts down the taffee and runs some laps to lose that "front porch". That is called self improvement. It is called life. Like the "gimp" gazelle gets eating by the lion. A kld who does not realize his lameness will only become a loser adult.
Hell, raise your kids they way you want. If he/she finishes last in the potato sack race "celebrate their effort" if you want. As for me...I'll have my kids chasing chickens, eating egg yolks, and running up stairs so the next time they compete, they will win! Either that or I'm gonna pop open a "sixer" pat 'em on the head and put on "Handy Manny" on the TV for 'em.
------
I wanna give props to "The Bigs 2". I will be picking my copy up manana. If you didn't play the first, IMO it was a blast. I can't stand "next gen" baseball games. Way to complicated, to slow, to boring. No way I can have my boys over and pop in a copy of MLB2K or Madden. You need to attend a community college class to learn how to play those games now. Menus, submenus, quick/hot keys, audibles...blah, blah, blah. Just gimmee a fun game that anyone can pick up and play. No I don't want frickin' "Backyard Baseball". I want a high quality licensed game that is FUN. The Bigs did that for me a couple years ago!
Take care fellas'

1.) The tools that sit in the bottom of the steps, next to the first row of seats, usually behind the catcher. They wave at the camera more than a queen in the back of a convertible on the 4th of July. The truly moronic are waving with one hand, and talking on their cell with the other. We get it! Your on TV! You've been waving like a tsunami since the 1st inning.
2.) Kinda similar to #1 but this blast is for the skanks that twit/text the whole game. Why did you even go to the damn game? The people reading books at the game think you are annoying. And to think some little leaguer is outside the gates balling in his Dads arms because he can't see the game, all so Chelsea can keep up with what is going on with Jon and Kate plus 8 from her girlfriends.
3.) I know baseball has lost some of its luster, and it is no longer Americas Pastime as the NFL has lapped 'em. But what is with all the sappy piano solos whenever advertising for baseball games? Ever baseball commercial starts out with a slow, simple stroke of a few keys...then a 70+ year old Jimmy Stewart soundalike begins with some lame comment about tradition, America, dads, then baseball. "Remember games of catch with Dad? Until it was dark...and mom called you both in for dinner? Well shucks...we'll keep the lights on for ya...but don't tell Mom." Astros versus Giants. Thursday night. ESPN." Piano keys, slowly fade away.
I hate those commercials. Give me robots crashing into each other, and enough sparks/flames, CGI that would make Michael Bay drool. And that dude that sounds like he is trying to push out that king size "stink pickle" while saying..."Tony Romo and the bad boys from Dallas invade San Diego to take on Sean Merriman and the Chargers! Thursday Night!"
Anyway, that is all. Hook 'em Horns!!

I remember sitting in a car with an actual phone in it. No noobs, it wasn't a "cell". It was in two parts, one bolted into the console of the vehicle, and the handset which was connected to the base via a cord. The car had a huge antenna on the rear windshield that alerted any of the local thugs, gangstas, bums, hobos, roustabouts, and persons of ill repute that this particular vehicle had some "flava" in it.
All the best music was done by men who were several years older than you. Asia, Toto, Hall and Oates, Boston, Journey, Chicago, Kansas, J. Geils Band, and Chrisopher Cross. Now it seems that anything on the Top 40 is done by someone who is either on contract with Disney, or American Idol.
Chicks actually spent several hours preparing themsevles to go out with guys or on the town in general. They had the big "Jersey" or "Texas" hair that in itself took several hours/dollars to successfully complete. They also dressed like women...dresses, skirts, heels. Now women pretty much wear hair that is no longer than the collar, baggy jeans, and dirty tee shirts. Anyone born after 1982 or 3 has no idea what they missed. I mean, have you seen Tawyny Kittaen prowling on the hood of that car? Now you have Amy Winehouse and Miley Cyrus...sucks to be you.
There was no internet. Porn wasn't just a few keyboard stokes (no pun intended) away. If you wanted to see tits, ***, taint, and p^$$y you had to either find your dads porn stash, get your hands on a Playboy, or get your game on and actually get with a girl.
If the phone rang, you had to pick it up to see who it was calling.
Then again, there was no telemarketing.
When in college, you had to stand in line after line to register for classes. No frickin' phone or internet registering. Sucks to be us.
Getting into a "R" rated movie when you were under 17 was major "achievement" points.
We couldn't compete online. We had to either play pool, race, shoot hoops, or fight to see who was the better man.
Girls wore Lip Gloss. If you don't know what that was...it sucks to be you.
OJ, Milk, Red Meat, and Eggs were considered "good for you".
Getting beer with a fake ID made you a God.
You wore your collars "popped up".
Your parents stayed married no matter how ****ty the union was.
Michael Jackson was "da man"...and black.
The "bad kids" wore bandanas, carried cardboard, and wore a glove on one hand.
Nowadays you kids wear ties for Proms and job interviews. We wore those skinny "piano" ties to school, clubs, and first dates.
We also wore long sleeve shirts with our sleeves rolled up to our elbows. Jealous??
As far as basketball goes, ALL the players could shoot jumpers. Not just the shooting guards and small forwards like today.
Our movie stars looked like men! Sly, Ahnold, Burt, and Mr. T. Now you have Orlando, Zac, and the Jonas Brothers.
I remember when you bought a CD it came in those long cardboard boxes to prevent stealing.
Hip-Hop was called "Rap".
We would pass notes between classes...handwritten, on a piece of paper, with words and drawings. Now you kids text.
You had to go to either your boys (or your girls) house. Sneek up to their window, and tap it to get to talk to them "after hours"..now you text.
We had the "keytar".
Multiplayer games were limited to Pong, Tecmo Bowl, SNK Baseball, RBI, and Street Fighter. Advantage..us.
Star Wars and Terminator were pushing the technological envelope.
The Von Erichs ruled the world of "professional" wrestling.
Guys wore socks up to the knees. And that was cool.
There was kissing. And then there was "French Kissing".
As Ricky Morton said..."I'm 'ol skool...and I'm always gonna be 'ol skool!"
Sidney Lanier HS, Austin, Texas, Class of '89...HOLLAH!!
