For an early 90s Austin snapshot, let episodes of MTV's "Austin Stories" wash over you. Not too far off Slacker world.

Obsession smells like the Reagan administration TBH

I look forward to seeing the video of his pregame speech to his pickleball team.

International Chicken Sandwiches in late 80s were the best, especially the Italian (chicken parm) variety

A probable against the grain take: You cannot get the sweet sounds of cicadas at night anywhere else but the South.

Excellent work.

BDB incredible live. Wish he’d make it stateside again.

SMU:

1987: Billionaires effectively killed football (Death Penalty) by dumping money into the program.
2025: Billionaires making football thrive by dumping money into the program.

College football. It's the best.

Underrated note on both:

The B Side to the DTKIC 45 was much better than the WATW B side.

DTKIC had the performers with their Christmas wishes over the backing track.

WATW had a shlocky Quincy Jones joint. And yes, I still have both.

No.

Completely agree with this sentiment.

From a reporter/news outlet branding standpoint, Twitter was great for a long time. But I can tell you after running a sports department for 10 years, the best that platform would give you consistently in its heyday is 4% of overall pageviews from referrals.

Hopefully they didn't put Ballou and Goodman together...

Good idea. Would love to see record collections as well!

Friends making the move. Arsenal community robust. Journos and ex-pats settling in. This new bungalow starting to feel real nice.
Just need a little more postpunk nostalgia, Longhorns coverage and Austin high school sports coverage to snuggle in, and family will be complete over here.

Will need to find that one and see who was running the program at the time. Good on them.

Agree. Editorial saying the series wasn't necessary, enlightening or constructive when it was damn good journalism at the time by AP is just a flat-out acknowledgment that your own journalism standards suck.

Those last 3 graphs...woof. The letters to the editor are something else as well...

One football comprehension that some writers cannot grasp:
What a reverse and a double reverse run mean.
What the Longhorns and Chiefs ran on offense is neither.

Who did it better, Marta or Ozil?
