  1. Kyle field is a joke. Shit stadium filled with shit fans.
  2. This is a conference game, albeit against a shit opponent. If Ewers is cleared, you play him. If the game is a blowout then put in Arch after the 1st series of the 2nd half.
  3. Looks like Marvel’s version of Suicide Squad.
  4. I liked it as much as the 1979 one. And the cast is ridiculously good (Donald Sutherland as Straker and Rutger Hauer as Barlow).

    Classes: nothing before 11. Beer: it’s your best friend, drink a lot of it. Women: you’re a freshman, so it’s pretty much out of the question. Do we have a car? Someone on your floor will. Find them and make friends with them on the first day. Words to live by.
  6. I appreciate the fact that Tilman’s 2 hires have been absolute failures. They had a pretty good and growing alumni base when Pezman showed up and tore that down in a Patterson-esque way. Apparently the final nail in the coffin was a scandal with the softball team involving (among other things) a player pulling a gun and putting it to another player’s head.
  7. Pierce is done. The only one that doesn’t realize it is Balcones. He was done when he assigned himself the pitching coach. Kind of like when Herman was done as soon as Sam was the only one on the field for The Eyes. Tomorrow or the next 2 weeks will be interesting.
  8. Buddy of mine got sworn in and we threw him a party today. Known him for a long time and found out he wasn’t already a citizen 2 years ago (he has been “in process” for years). He went through all of the hoops. He took the test. He wanted this more than anything. He got sworn in with people he knows “skipped the line”. And felt like he was being processed when he swore his allegiance to the USA. Neg me to oblivion, but the people that do it the way it is supposed to be done are frickin’ hreoes.
  9. Something I’ve enjoyed doing recently is mentioning that Texas State and UTSA will probably make it into the CFP before the aggies. When they start to argue, bring up the rule for G5 teams, and then offer to place a bet on it. They won’t, and it shuts them up. Plus the look on their face when it dawns on them that it is a very real possibility is priceless.
  10. Louisville Farva completely fucked up and the PD is in full damage control mode. The mayor stated there is zero body cam footage. They will eventually drop the charges stating not enough evidence to convict, but won’t apologize, I bet.
  11. Add Saoirse Ronan to the list
  12. Character issue rumors came from Georgia.
  13. Banks and Ewers are top 10. Bond first round maybe. That’s not really going out on a limb. We have more talent than we have had in a very long time. Kind of nice. A buddy who is a big Georgia guy and I were talking today. He laughed about the possibility of Sanders or Milroe getting drafted before Beck and Ewers. Going to be fun to watch.
  14. Csb: I met and worked with Tony (the kicker) for a bit in 2000. He was a good guy and always laughed when telling that story. Said 2 things were going through his mind when he got the pitch: 1) this is gonna hurt and 2) I’m going to kill Field for pitching it to me. Said the play was not supposed to be a pitch, if it wasn’t there for the holder (a wr), he was just supposed to go down. Gave Brackens all the credit in the world for the hit.

    This right here. Everyone always talks about the football aspect, but baseball has been my favorite part.
  16. Really looking forward to this. I re-read Shogun, Tai Pan, Noble House, and Whirlwind (skip King Rat and Gaijin) every few years. I hope the production company follows up with more.
  17. Dusty took over a team in the middle of a made-up “scandal”. Do not ever forget that. He underachieved with the Astros. Just like he has everywhere else.
  18. They are probably waiting for the first home game against aggy.
  19. I thought it was an impossible task to do the movie Dr. Sleep. The Shining book and movie had so many differences but I love both. I thought Dr. Sleep did better than it could have hoped for. Had great actors and the people involved did a great job navigating all of the source material and creating a good story. And I loved the part at the Overlook.
  20. Honestly wish he had gone to Philly. Atlanta is where great Longhorns go to be amazing and never get recognized. Screw that town. Truly hope the best for him.
  21. Something that has worked well for me over the years is head to Armadillo Palace (used to go to Kay’s before they sadly closed), have a beer, and grab an uber to the Holiday Inn at La Concha & Kirby. After the show, head back to the Holiday Inn and hit the bar there to enjoy the barrel racers and buckle bunnies. Then grab an uber back to Armadillo.
  22. I went to Stewart and really enjoyed it. Not sure how it is today. My nephew went to La Junta from k-8 and loved it. As mentioned above, if you go to one of the shows and talk with the owner and introduce your son, that normally takes care of any waitlist issues you might have.
  23. Ha, well, don't be surprised to see both Bun B and Lizzo out there next year, and not necessarily on the 2nd Friday.
