  1. 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
  2. Holy shit! This motherfucker needs to go see his gynecologist if his pussy is hurting that much.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. He used to live right down the road from me. Then he went to a hospital in collie station and died.
  11. No. We will be wearing our storm troopers.
  12. https://www.livingheritage.org.nz/Schools-Stories/History-of-the-Manu-Samoa/The-Siva-Tau#:~:text=The Siva Tau is the,Manu Siva Tau was written. "The Siva Tau is the haka or traditional war dance done before battle in ancient times."
  13. The funny thing is that he's (the color guy, not play x play guy) is a longtime friend of mine. The same guy is on the Texans Spanish radio crew, and sadly, also OU's Spanish football crew.
  14. When I was a little kid my dad had a Chevy Luv pickup truck that was actually built by Isuzu. The warning labels under the hood were confusing but hilarious. The radiator cap said something like "Not to open hot cap when hot usually."
  15. I got it on Amazon Fire Stick, but I had to use the search function to find it. It was on the scrolling menu of available apps yet,
  16. Remember when that ass fungus Steve Patterson fired him? Then Texas fired Patterson and rehired Bianco. That seemed to work out better.
  17. I stopped by here this morning to have a look and make sure CDC didn't leave any damning evidence lying around. I drive by this place all of the time, and drove by it Tuesday morning. I probably drove right by CDC and had no idea. The past few days have been fun. All of the Ags I know are pissed and conspiring to get retribution, even though they lack the ability to do anything about it. The newest rumor I heard from them today was that Schloss already moved to Austin the first weekend of the CWS. Nevermind the fact he was in Omaha coaching the whole time.
  18. Also written by someone who doesn't know the area. It's Peary Place, not Perry Place. It's pronounced like "Perry" but not spelled that way. That neighborhood used to be part of CCNAS. My dad's family lived there during WWII because my Grandad worked for the Navy. I've heard about it my whole life.
  19. He didn't want to have to answer that question tonight, instead wanted to focus on his team's effort. He was pissed because a reporter from what is essentially the media arm of the school was the one whos asked that distracting question. He didn't deny anything and he left before anyone could ask for a clear answer. I don't have any idea what's going to happen, but if I was aggy, I would be more concerned than reassured by his response.
  20. When turning, you are required to turn into the lane nearest to your turn, then you can make legal lane changes to get into the lane you want to be in. Yielding traffic still does have to yield to vehicles making legal lane changes though. If while turning, you cross over multiple lanes without making legal lane changes, then you have entered the roadway illegally. Also, rule # 1 of the Texas motor vehicle code or whatever they call it, is that you are required to operate your vehicle in a safe manner. Looking at the picture, I don't see how you can make legal lane changes or operate your vehicle safely in even moderate traffic at that intersection for the traffic turning left there.
  21. From the information I've been privy to, it would be, as mentioned, professionally built without student involvement in any capacity. I've heard that they are looking at options like building a metal substructure that can be reused, and either adding logs as a kind of facade, or also building fake logs and making the burn a gas fire, like propane. Basically a giant gas fireplace that's made to take down and reassemble every year. The folks I've spoken to don't think it will come back for numerous reasons. First, insurance for the event would be very expensive. Secondly, where are they going to put it? There's a huge memorial to those who died when it collapsed, right in the middle of the field that they used before. Plus, there isn't a very strong sentiment among current students to do it. The off campus bonfires have had progressively less and less student participation, and not having students work on building it wouldn't really help that any. I told them that I wasn't so sure it was dead because you can never underestimate the desire of aggy to do stupid shit. We'll see, but I agree with those who think they'll find a way to make that stupidity come back.
  22. I also remember that when I was in high school, what is now Ant Street Inn, was a dirty old Mexican brothel called El Papagayo or something like that. Also, the famous Dixie Motel that's a favorite stay of modern visitors was a house of ill repute as well.
