So, Gus Malzahn’s house has a place that looks like it came right out of a 1980s sports bar.

The wall mural is something, but it’s the Galaga machine that really ties the room together. Makes you wonder if Gus put urinals in the bathroom.

Who paints a three-times-lifesize likeness of themselves on their wall? I admit that I am not one of those “celebrity cribs” watchers, but having that huge mural featuring HIMSELF seems a bit … egotistical.

I taught at a PAC Conference back in the mid 90’s and remember a speaker saying “If you go into someone’s office and they have an I love me wall with an oversized picture of themselves I would bet good money the guy has terrible leadership qualities and is an overall a$$8ole. You could use every bad adjective to describe them”
This statement was 100% accurate as it was exemplified in every time I encountered it.

Mine is also air fresco for 240ft of Corps lakefront. Sometimes I run out when I hear their airboat and wave at them with the last of my atrophying member as they go by. Their trees went through my boathouse in three places, I had to pay to remove their trees from my leased corps property and boathouse as well as pay for later removal of dead and dying trees that remained as a danger to my adjoining constructed property. I’ve allowed a return of their property to a more natural state by planting a few trees and allowing undergrowth to take over, plus broadcasting wildflowers to help the birds and other wildlife.
It has overgrown such that sometimes I have to get on one of the taller stumps to wave at them.

Correct. You cannot remove the trees until AFTER they have crushed the dock. I am familiar with the corps but since you mentioned public indecency and corps property I can’t resist.
Past my dock in the back of the cove is the neighborhood dock for a 55 plus community. Last fall working on the dock on a warm day, I figured I’d cool off with a quick swim but had no swimsuit. “No problem” says I nobody’s around so I figured a skinny dip wouldn’t hurt anyone. I was mid naked leap when the 55 plus coed kayak club came around the point. They are very friendly and keep close to the docks so they all paddled by an said hello, chatting with me and among themselves. I had to tread water for 30 minutes or so until they made the other point and by that time the faster (relative) paddlers were on the way back. I ended up in the water for over an hour. The day was warm, the water was not.

Don’t be dissing Galaga now! That was my game growing up.
My biggest let down in life was after the World’s Fair in Knoxville. I think it was held in 1982. My dad worked for a real estate development company and they were involved with some of the hotels and convention centers built for that event. My dad indicated when the fair was over we would get one of the Galaga video game machines from the fair. I was so excited being 12 at the time.
I don’t know what happened. I am guessing my mom intervened and said it would not be a good thing to have at the house because I would play it all the time. I was crushed and to top things off I remember that next Christmas instead of the Adidas sweatsuit I was hoping for I received a knock-off World’s Fair version that had the World’s Fair logo instead of the Adidas logo on it. I never wore it because I was afraid I would get mocked for it. First world problems!

I got addicted to Galaga in 1995-’96 during work breaks, working for Warner Brothers on the Michael Jordan/Bugs Bunny feature, Our office tower adjoined the Sherman Oaks Galleria (RIP) of “Fast Times” and “Valley Girl” fame. I got so familiar with it I could fire at ships flight patterns long before they appeared.
I finally turned the thing completely over at over a million points, with dozens of bepimpled preteens gathered and watching in awe, and said “enough”.
