Hairy Biped

He interviewed twice at Tulane (on the down low) last year to replace Willie Fritz, who he replaced at Sam. Some SHSU insiders I know thought he was gone then, because he seemed ready to move on from Huntsville. I'm not surprised that he got offers after leading Sam to a bowl and a last second FG away from the CUSA championship game this year. I just expected it to be a better landing spot than Temple. But he gets to go home to Pennsylvania, I guess. I agree with the idea that Sam has no real business being FBS and would probably still be rolling in FCS, but like all of the others, they're chasing those $$$. Even with buys out and entry fees and such, they're pulling in a ton more money now than they were when they were playing for and winning championships in the FCS.

You think that's bad, according to their website, the midnight yell for us is at 5:30pm. https://calendar.tamu.edu/event/338731-yell-practice-with-head-coach-mike-elko-and-the

Holy shit! This motherfucker needs to go see his gynecologist if his pussy is hurting that much.

I'm well aware that electric motors provide more power. My question is do they provide more durability and longevity. The limited results that I've seen say no, for now. Especially in non-ideal situations like off-roading. It's not to say that it will continue down that path, but it seems like manufacturers are building these vehicle to fit a certain niche, and then making minor changes to appeal to drivers outside of that niche. ICE vehicles are made to fit far more varied uses. And from what I've seen while researching the topic, which is admittedly somewhat limited, electrics don't have longevity on their side. For example, I haven't seen one of the original Tesla sports cars on the road in at least 7 or 8 years, maybe longer. If I pay as much as the current EVs are priced, I expect a vehicle that will have a useful life of 20 or 25 years. I've heard too many stories about people who've had them, that basically had to dispose of theirs after 5 or 6 years. Right now I have a 2002 Jeep Wrangler and a 2008 Honda Accord, both with well over 200,000 miles, and they're still running like a champ. If something breaks, I fix it and it keeps going. Advances in technology haven't made either of them obsolete. You can't really say that about electrics right now. I know the technology will keep moving forward and probably change that, but for now, I'm dubious of all of these vehicles. For me, efficiency and performance aren't the only concerns when it comes to purchasing a car. But I still think that the Scouts and Rivions are really cool and totally get the appeal.

Looks pretty cool. I've been wondering why more EVs aren't built to look and feel more traditional. Most electrics are ugly and stupid looking, and drive like you're flying a spaceship or some stupid futuristic bullshit. These are a lot better looking. I still have my doubts about offroad uses for electrics though. I talked to a Jeep guy who has a one of those Jeep Wrangler electrics and he said that it's the most useless car he has ever owned. Getting it dirty fucks up all of the sensors on it and it's not operable when the wrong sensors aren't working. That said, I haven't off-roaded my mostly analog 2002 Wrangler in at least 5 years. But I definitely like where their going with this.

Brenham beat Waco 55-0 tonight. It was 38-0 at the end of the first quarter and 52-0 at the half. The TD to make it 38-0 was the 4th TD in 5 offensive plays for Brenham. Pretty sure the cheerleaders played the whole 4th quarter. I remember when Waco was a Cen-Tex powerhouse. Things have really changed over there.

I mean, you make total sense, but my source said that the PAC contacted them. Not the other way around. Due diligence I'm sure. Frankly, none of it makes much sense to me. But it's fun to watch play out I suppose.

Also, they just approved a $60 million renovation of the stadium. Most of that is upgrading the press box and luxury suites and adding a "club" level. But the stadium will still be small FBS stadium. FTR it currently holds 14,000 and I played there in a playoff game in 1986.

Agree on both, but they do have some advantages. Proximity to 4th largest city and top 15 busiest airport. Rich recruiting grounds. They could always play games at NRG like they are this weekend. That's how they fulfill their FBS attendance commitment. I think it's a crazy idea, but the PAC is desperate at this point.

I have a well place source tell me that Sam Houston has been contacted by the PAC. Sam has been in 3 different conferences in the last 5 or 6 years. Might as well.

Stupidity.

He used to live right down the road from me. Then he went to a hospital in collie station and died.

No. We will be wearing our storm troopers.
