  1. Sucked not having any fall ball games this year. Hope that doesn't become the norm under Schloss. 4 months til Alumni game...🤘
  2. Dude go to youtube! There is a full two minute long version of it happening, then slo-mo, and them having to repair the field (they were most concerned about this). Even worse is how she had to get helped off the field by another female and maybe someone from the sidelines. She was totally forgotten about.
  3. Gus Johnson with the call....🤣 !!
  4. No doubt. I was just thinking of states that I know have created teams specific for these situations and could be pre-deployed. Texas has been around since pre Katrina (with great success). Oklahoma, Utah, NC, and another in that area (maybe TN or GA???) have followed the Texas model and started their own Helicopter Task Force SAR teams. There are other states that have the USAF/guard component with PJs but I was just thinking of the ones that have started something like we have here with the national guard birds from SA and ATX. It's been a great model. TXTF-1 (the helicopters) has been used in IKE, Harvey, and numerous flooding events or tropical storms in the valley since being deployed at Katrina. The Colonel (good friend of mine) that was the original CO of the task force (FEMA funded) into Katrina was not too happy about having "civilian" swimmers on his aircraft at first, but they proved their worth in NO and it's been continued here since and copied throughout the US.
  5. While it would suck to be on top of that hospital roof, that area is not that far over the border from NC. Like Texas has had for years, NC has a helicopter task force made up from National Guard aircrews and rescue specialists/swimmers from fire departments. No doubt they are flying throughout NC now looking for stranded motorists or those in homes. They could fly to Tennessee if needed to that hospital should the waters not be receding. ...CSB/? TXTF-1 with 5 helos and six swimmers were the first aircraft in to New Orleans the following morning after Katrina. The CG aircraft had been moved east and was still in the aftermath of the storm when TXTF-1 flew in from their staging area at Ellington Field just as the sun came up. Started picking up stranded people as soon as they got into NO. Baton Rouge became their base of operations.
  6. No foul. Your post wasn't overly malicious. Others? It's surly. He got off his boat with his possession (with a PFD on) that he cared most for. Swimmer got to make two good saves.
  7. He probably lived on his boat. Most likely losing everything except his dog. Those thinking he was just an asshole in the ocean taking selfies for IG, was just a still taken from the CG swimmer's GoPro. Glad they got both off safely.
  8. Bath day!! Was able to get 4/5 in the pic… Lucky was hiding. Charley , Emmy, One Eyed Jack & Lily [emoji1]
  9. Is Helene a dude? Cuz Noah has Helene packin'....
  10. First NFL game watching this year. Why even have kickoffs any more? That's some lame ass poo.
  11. What a kick. Would've been good from 70.
  12. Look at 956's video above your post. This is said to be at the funeral. While crowded, the only dirtbag being wounded was the one with the radio. These aren't shrapnel explosions but a device (pager or radio) most likely with PETN in it. The same could be said for the guy with the pager at the market. Two other shoppers or the person who was selling was right next to him and uninjured. If you have one of these pagers or radios, you're a bad guy. Hamas/Hezbollah/fucking terrorists getting a taste of their own medicine.
  13. Beyond the wounding and killing done today to bad dudes, what a psychological win it is. Those that survive their wounds will always be wondering if their phone, pager, or other electronic device is going to fuck them up again soon, or sometime later down the road. 🤷‍♂️ Mossad putting terror into the terrorists.
  14. Mossad agents earlier today...
  15. Yep. Such losers.
  16. Posted in the Quinn thread but thought it would be good to put in here also... First play shows him taking a hit in his left abdominal from the arm of the DB on a blitz rush. Second play (pass to Gunnar) most likely aggravated it.
  17. Wasn't tackled but did take a hit in the left abdominal area if you look at the first play here. The pass and body movement most likely exacerbated it with the pass to Gunnar. He took himself out on the next play.
  18. Yea, that was a good day. Though it may have been a fall ball game. but even bundled up, they were beautiful. My seats are close to where guests enter the field to be recognized. This last year, also got to meet and talk with the National Champion Volleyball and Rowing teams. To me, nothing sexier than women athletes (helps that I married one). 🤘
  19. Met and talked with Kelly P. and the two blondes ^^^ for a few innings at a UT baseball game two years ago.....
