Yeah, it's certainly no slight on &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;California&lt;/span&gt;, which I love. &quot;Johnny Mathis' Feet&quot; is just an incredible song.</description>

                          I got loads of Snapchats from my friends at OSU. I envy them, haha. But I am happy as hell that OSU won, not necessarily for the school, but the state of Ohio.</description>

They even named an album after you! But, this is my fave. Their entire discog is solid though. After this I'd recommend &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;Everclear&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I would actually say &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;Mercury&lt;/span&gt; is my favorite.</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
Hey, Mercury. Still fill me in later on what recs you liked &amp; which ones you didn't. BUT, in the meantime, I've got five NO BRAINER personalized recs for you anyways. You're going to fucking love them. All of them mine similar territory and have stylistic similarities (i.e. Alt Country)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, welcome to your new favorite band... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
One of my favorite albums of 2014. And I only found out about a couple of days ago. I can't stop listening to it, and it's my current obsession. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://albumart.besteveralbums.com/albumart/album_large_57_4e3130c92335a.jpg&quot; class=&quot;postimg&quot; style=&quot;cursor:pointer;&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open('http://albumart.besteveralbums.com/albumart/album_large_57_4e3130c92335a.jpg','imgpop','width=500,height=500,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no');return false&quot; /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;gensmall hidden-md hidden-lg&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thumbnail. Click to enlarge.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?a=57&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; class=&quot;nav2&quot;&gt;The Notorious Byrd Brothers by The Byrds&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Masterpiece that changed the game back when it dropped. One of those albums that's so good that it and it's follow up invented a whole new genre along with... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://albumart.besteveralbums.com/albumart/album_large_14909_4e43e33a998ec.jpg&quot; class=&quot;postimg&quot; style=&quot;cursor:pointer;&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open('http://albumart.besteveralbums.com/albumart/album_large_14909_4e43e33a998ec.jpg','imgpop','width=500,height=500,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no');return false&quot; /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;gensmall hidden-md hidden-lg&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thumbnail. Click to enlarge.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?a=14909&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; class=&quot;nav2&quot;&gt;Safe At Home by The International Submarine Band&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gram Parsons first band and just flat out freaking awesome. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://albumart.besteveralbums.com/albumart/album_large_5877_548cc267f2c3d.jpg&quot; class=&quot;postimg&quot; style=&quot;cursor:pointer;&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open('http://albumart.besteveralbums.com/albumart/album_large_5877_548cc267f2c3d.jpg','imgpop','width=500,height=500,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no');return false&quot; /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;gensmall hidden-md hidden-lg&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thumbnail.

&lt;br /&gt;
One of my all time faves. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://albumart.besteveralbums.com/albumart/album_large_35495_50ec103e65064.jpg&quot; class=&quot;postimg&quot; style=&quot;cursor:pointer;&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open('http://albumart.besteveralbums.com/albumart/album_large_35495_50ec103e65064.jpg','imgpop','width=500,height=500,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no');return false&quot; /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;gensmall hidden-md hidden-lg&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Thumbnail. Click to enlarge.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?a=35495&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; class=&quot;nav2&quot;&gt;Ballad Of A Thin Line Man by Giant Sand&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blistering, white hot guitar. This albums smokes. Includes a Johnny Thunders cover just for you!!!  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Very Happy&quot;&gt;😁&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, do we have a bet for this Sunday? Just to clarify because I know I mucked things up a bit by suggesting a teaser, I'm simplifying things by just picking the Seahawks over the Packers. (even though I'll be routing for Rogers &amp; the Packers. I love stories of people triumphing over some physical injury or pain. (Although, admittedly, it's got nothing on my own story these past twenty years. I really I hope I get the chance to triumph over this and write an inspirational book. If I do triumph, it will be one of the greatest stories ever. Crazy as it may sound, I'm not exaggerating.))</description>

Yeah, that guy is a scary good coach.  I'm glad he's in the big 10, but not happy that PSU has to play him so often.&lt;br /&gt;

Wow, nice.  I heard it once, but was pretty distracted and didn't come away with strong feelings one way or the other.  I'll try to revisit it tomorrow, if I can.</description>

His average yards per carry was pretty low in both games, if I recall.  I just think there's too much emphasis on QBs in the media.  &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Seemed to me the real star of that game on offense was Ezekiel Elliott.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Oh, no question about that. It just wasn't as surprising a result. But no question he was the best player on the field. Looked like he was playing against the JV team. Then I'd give second billing to the Buckeyes' defense. I guess the real story is how quickly Urban Meyer turned around that program though. But, I don't follow college football so that story doesn't resonate with me as much as story of third string quarterback winning three straight larger-than-life games. The mentality to do that, especially considering all that focus on the quarterback, is just incredible. The metal aspect of these games is so important. For instance, Mariotta seemed to shrink just a bit when facing adversity on such a massive stage. He had very different body language c/w the Florida State game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Packers over Seahawks - 24-17&lt;br /&gt;
Patriots over Colts - 34-20&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now we don't have opposite predictions. Then what?&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well I want those recs pretty bad but want to look semi respectable doing it &amp; not just getting a mercy handout so I'll just take Seahawks over your Packers for those 5 personalized recs.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That way we can both celebrate unencumbered by any bets when the Patriots smashmouth the Colts.  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Very Happy&quot;&gt;😁&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

Cardale Jones was an incredible weapon in the two games that I watched (Alabama, Oregon). He has good enough arm that you had be wary of the deep ball and was able to kill it in the run game. I'm NOT saying he's be a good NFL style quarterback, but like Tebow, he's a force in the college game and definitely NOT a mediocre college QB. He was pretty instrumental in both wins. I was worried when he had that indecision &amp; hesitation and then panicked forcing the ball on that one handoff that resulted in that fumble in the 1st half, but he recovered tremendously. The fact that he was able to recover from that mishap and continue to play with such confidence is extraordinary from someone with so little experience. Can you imagine Geno Smith in that game? LOL.</description>

Great post, Repo! I will fill you in on my faves of your recs so far later. For now I gotta say I am a huge Pack fan and also a pretty huge Pats supporter. And I'm really nervousr about both games next week. I would hate seeing a Seahawks Colts SB. But it very well could happen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;So what are you betting and for  who?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I dunno, it was pretty clear Meyer didn't trust his arm (61 rushing attempts to 23 pass attempts) and he still committed two turnovers.  Not to take too much away from the kid, he handled himself well in some tough games, but I think this mostly just shows how successful you can be with a mediocre QB (see also the 2011 Denver Broncos).</description>

                          Haha! Great post, Repo! I will fill you in on my faves of your recs so far later. For now I gotta say I am a huge Pack fan and also a pretty huge Pats supporter. And I'm really nervousr about both games next week. I would hate seeing a Seahawks Colts SB. But it very well could happen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what are you betting and for  who?</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
And repo, if you want, I can give you recs as well so it's not so much a one way street lol.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Haha! No way! I want to earn them.  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Wink&quot;&gt;😉&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To that end, how about a teaser of my Pats and the Seahawks next weekend against the Colts &amp; your Packers for 5 personalized recs! I figured just straight up picking the Seahawks isn't fair because Rogers is hurt and won't be 100%. Which just totally sucks for everyone but Seahawks fans (and maybe Bears fans, I guess). I would have LOVED to see a healthy Rogers take on the Seahawks. That would be a kickass game. How cool is it that even injured you guys came back &amp; slayed those still whining Cowboys. Rogers really gutted it out in the second half. Just a great game. And it was definitely NOT a catch.  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Laughing&quot;&gt;🤣&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, the best game of the week was my Pats narrowly escaping the Ravens. It had a little bit of everything. I literally jumped out of my seat on Brady -&gt; Edelman -&gt; Amendola play.   &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Very Happy&quot;&gt;😁&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Very Happy&quot;&gt;😁&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Very Happy&quot;&gt;😁&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Very Happy&quot;&gt;😁&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyways, I will start working on my recs for you. To that end, let me know both which recs you liked and which ones you  didn't so that I can hone my Mercury recommendation chops. Looks like I'm going to be losing to you a lot.  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Crying or Very sad&quot;&gt;😢&lt;/span&gt; LOL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
edit: And just as a side note, I couldn't help but route for Ohio State during the game anyways despite the bet.  Really hard not to route for THE college sports story of the year aka Cardale Jones!!! Just unheard of.</description>

                          The crazy thing is that PSU took OSU to overtime earlier in the season.  If not for a blown call earlier in the game (where the people in the review booth apparently didn't have the footage!), OSU likely would never have been in the playoff to begin with.</description>

                          Am I the only person who has something to say about that completely awesome drubbing the Buckeyes laid down last night? What an insane idea! The story of a 3rd string QB with no regular season experience reeling off a blowout for the ages on Wisconson, a tight win against the darth vader of college football - Alabama, and another blowout of high-powered Oregon! It's awesome! Ezekiel Elliot has been awe inspiring as well. Urban Meyer has come back out of Saban's shadow. Great stuff. And now OSU is set up to be greater next year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And repo, if you want, I can give you recs as well so it's not so much a one way street lol.</description>

I say OSU pulls the upset. It will bet a final of 45-24 Buckeyes.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just saying. I'm actually pretty impressed with myself. The final ended up being 42-20 Buckeyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm sorry to keep doing this to you, Repo.</description>

                          Rooting for Oregon, but hoping OSU represents the Big Ten well. (MSU grad here). By the way, the only two teams Michigan State lost to this year are playing in the National Championship Game.</description>
