  1. GG gets picked by the Astros (15th rd)
  2. Interesting first day....lets' see what happens tomorrow and Tuesday. 🤘
  3. My exact thoughts on seeing those TaTas...
  4. Him having eligibility isn't the issue.
  5. My grandmother (far right) with her sister, mom, and youngest brother Jasper Morris who was 16 yrs younger than her. This was probably taken at their home in Crystal City around 1941 or '42. Jasper was named after his grandfather who had been a Confederate cavalry Lieutenant that fought late in the war out of Missouri. To the family though, JM was known as "Bunch", a nickname given to him by his mother. Wanting to be like his two older brothers, Bunch would get into the war and the Pacific in 1944 as a Marine fighting on Guam and later Iwo Jima. On Iwo, he would be killed there the day after the flag raising while he and his company took the second airfield.
  6. I've heard that seating down the left field walkway (where they put the temporary bleachers a few years back for the LSU series) will happen before outfield seating.
  7. So '05 is that much difference than '09? Cuz that seems to be your argument for us vs LSU (our last championship vs their last prior to this year). Kids that went to LSU these last few years didn't go there because LSU beat us in '09 when they were 4 or 6 yrs old vs. being an infant or not born yet in '05. TEXAS alum (and Bellmont especially) have to realize that we are going to have to money whip kids more than ever now if we want to keep up with LSU, Arky, Vandy, TCU and many others that have been, or are now throwing (pun intended) dollars at kids to play Baseball at their school. I have no inside idea how good our chance was to get Skenes (LSU definitely outbid for us him though, plus they had a much better and stronger roster returning than we did). But prior to that, he played 6 games here at the Disch. At least one of those was a sellout crowd and the others during the year also well attended, which no doubt helped him to see what other destinations or opportunities might be available to him. We weren't in that mix cuz we haven't won since '05?
  8. Some of the more accurate watches I've ever owned or worn were the least expensive (Timex) and also able to take a ton of abuse. As for being correct, with the interwebz being around now for so long it's super easy to synch up with the atomic clock or NIST to have your watch with the right time.
  9. Pretty much have worn one daily 24/7 for the last 40+ years. Was a needed accessory for doing the professions I was in and it doesn't feel right now without one on my wrist. (As far as people saying they don't need one and can just use their phone, I chuckle at that as I am constantly getting asked the time when I'm out playing cards and people see that I'm wearing a watch).
  10. Gotta force yourself to swim parallel to the beach if (when) caught in a rip current.... sucks hearing that news.
  11. C’mon man. Pretty simple for those 3…. ….
  12. Did not know he was a Texan and also a frog alum. Always enjoyed his work though, and especially in Apocalypse Now, Valley Girl, Falling Down, and Lonesome Dove. Great range as a character actor. RIP
  13. Fuck! Stupid me! I’ve been thinking only monetarily [emoji383] I have this very nice blue and gold from SCUBA school (vintage 1983) plus some UDT shorts (though from recent tailgates, not gonna fit too many of you fatties) Grow a ‘stache (sorry Nicholle) and be as cool as Magnum PI [emoji41]
  14. Make it a pirate hat, throw in a daily ration of Rum and we have a deal...
  15. You're a GATA right? Because of that I do not believe that you are arrogant or pompous enough for such a venture (plus I am a 50+ white male and nobody wants us around) so due to that....
  16. Nah....just stick with the Billionaires. Pretty sure seat deposit costs for the next expedition just went waaaaaaay down. 🤔 Bet the wreath fund can now get one each for Z'berg and Gates.
  17. Sailors been wrecking their ships for thousands of years just by chasing tail...
  18. Damn dude. WSOP can't be going that bad...😜
