  1. Check your email if you are a season ticket holder…Tickets should be in your account as of this past Saturday , Feb 1. [emoji461]️[emoji1598]
  2. Just make sure you're within earshot...😲
  3. They announced that yesterday during the game (pretty sure the date was the 22nd) that very limited tickets would be put on sale then.
  4. Sunny and 65-70 is a hell of a lot better than 40 with a north wind gusting to 20 like last year. Was so damn cold I left after 3. Year before was like in the 50’s and fog. Yes it was a great crowd yesterday. No doubt they took advantage of the weather & scheduled having BEVO out along with signings from the team and the pregame throws on the field for kids/families. Walking in and just seeing the outer sections (L2/R2 and above) being open, you knew it was going to be good. The outer sections have been closed the last few years and that made going even worse as you had to sit in the shade.
  5. Sorry for the loss of your Dad. Thanks for sharing a bit of his life and your relationship with him. I shared a small bit of my Dad (who I lost) a few years ago on the baseball board. Being of the same generation (our dads), your story could be mine. Tough but caring and not always seeing eye to eye but you knew they wanted the best for you. RIP Father Brisket 🤘
  6. Look at the video. That was pretty clear night. Most likely Didn't even need their NODs, (with the newer white/gray ones are pretty damn good) plus you wear them so you can scan through the goggles and without, below. Should they have been even more vigilant because of the altitude flying at, but missing the right altitude, 200' vs 400'??? If that was the case, means they were missing other things too. Too many heads inside (?) and not at least one or more on a swivel looking out. Swiss cheese unfortunately lined up.
  7. Schiraldi was the ace on that '83 team and also the team MVP along with being named MVP of the CWS... And that other #21? 19 game winner in '85, along with 14 shutouts and 2 no hitters during his time at the 40.
  8. https://x.com/SECUnfiltered/status/1882084695112126484 edit: Due to a fatwa in DT (CR lite) you can now only link (😕) to vids on X..... @texasbaseball @texaslonghorns @UTexasAthletics
  9. You'll receive an email notification with instructions on adding them to your wallet (or transfer 😮) from Texas Atheletics. Usually get them a week or two before the season starts. So early February.

  11. Alumni game Saturday February 1st 230pm
  12. Nah....just have to have the right aircrew(s). A few pics from some training a few years back with some Texas Forest Service guys out at Camp Swift.
  13. RIP Mr Baseball. No doubt my Dad, Uncle and yourself are laughing and having a beer (or more 😀)
  14. My dad loved watching him with the Cardinals and then after in the booth. Such a great character and storyteller. RIP Mr Baseball...😢 Where is his seat in heaven???
  15. Until the LA fires, I never knew we had so many firefighters on Surly....
  16. There's plenty of videos with them in use. For emptying a pool most likely one time only, It would do what is needed. I have a submersible (needs electrical though) and it's rated at 60 gpm, bought through Amazon and it has the capability to empty (has) my 17000 gallon pool pretty easily. To each their own.
  17. Turn around time is the key....12 seconds to fill 1600 gallons and an unlimited supply source less than 1, 2 miles away? With a water source that close those two planes are doing much more than people realize. Not to derail, but when I first saw the news the other day of them being used and with their quick turnaround time, it reminded me of documentary of the Marines fighting on Peleliu during WW2. Marine Corsair pilots had most likely the shortest flight bombing runs of the war. After ground troops took the runway, Marine pilots supporting the ground troops upon taking off from the runway, and dropping their bombs just off the departure end of the airfield where Japanese troops were embedded on the cliffs overlooking the airfield and mortaring Marines. Take off, drop bombs over departure end, turn back downwind, land, re-arm, and repeat. Have him look at these...won't break the bank and will do what is needed. Have him focus on the GPM, so with these at least a 2" discharge. Don't forget at least a 100' discharge line (and nozzle). https://www.harborfreight.com/search?q=water pump
