    Steak

    You can say that again.
  2. For the shoe, or the pic of RT? The shoes are just on sale at Nike.com. https://www.nike.com/t/air-force-1-07-lv8-mens-shoes-7bCM7s/FB2048-800 (there's an extra 20% right now direct from Nike). The pic is on a coworker's phone from her son at a basketball camp, so can't link that.
  3. Yeah, the color isn't burnt orange, but I also have a pic of Rodney Terry wearing them from a coworker, so if they are good enough for the Men's Head Basketball coach to wear, they are close enough for me. And that sale price was hard to pass up.
  4. Unfortunately I don't do criminal law. But that would be a good one.
  5. Hmm. If someone writes copy for me so that it's dynamic based on the last week's result, I would push my partners to do it. "Celebrate the Win in Tuscaloosa a little too hard and get someone pregnant? Call hornian for all your child custody, child support, and paternity testing needs!" or "Did you take that loss against [insert team we should have mudholed here] too hard, and now your wife is kicking you out? Call hornian to get the divorce process started!" or "Did you win big on your bets on the Longhorns and your wedding date is coming up? Call hornian for a prenup so all those winnings are protected!" As you can see, Don Draper I am not.
  6. So does the "new" horn not have afternoon shows? I am using TuneIn in my car, because the signal is crap. In the morning its Erin and Rod Baber's show, which is actually fine, and honestly, and upgrade from B&E. But at lunch, it's Jim Rome (I think), and in the afternoon 4:00 hour, it's some national show when I use the TuneIn app to listen to the Horn.
  7. Real talk - how are we feeling about using our smokers in CenTex right now? I'd like to smoke a brisket, but I also like not burning down my entire neighborhood if a spark or something gets away from me.
  8. Where's the good news for Austin?
  9. Mark my seats as empty, I'll be in the AC in the club watching.
  10. My favorite part of last season was OU fans all the sudden wondering why they were being called for holding after getting a free pass for the last 20 years.
  11. Costco (the one at 183/Braker in N Austin) has a $10.00 off Prime Briskets. They are $3.99/lb, but the $10 off is off the package no matter the size. I bought the 2 smallest I could find (~13lbs), but they had some 20 pounders in there (a lot of 14lb-17lb ones as well).
  12. Hottest month in recorded human history SO FAR. I'm 2 pages behind so if someone else already made this comment, so be it. It bears repeating.
  13. 11th edition. We've sucked for most of the the past 11 years. Are we sure this book isn't actually a curse?
  14. These are the bomb. Kids and parents agree.
  15. No pics right now, but I took delivery of my Rivian R1S (the SUV) last week. I've seen a lot of them around Austin, so I'm not the only one. This sucker is fast. It's ridiculous that a 7,000 lb SUV can go 0-60 in 3 seconds, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't fun. Although I did so many launches on day 1 showing it off I think I gave myself some mild whiplash. Extremely fun to drive, and assuming that the switch over to the Tesla charging standard that was announced (including a free adapter supposedly) happens next year, it's going to get even better for long road trips and the like.
  16. The Tesla Model 3 is one of the most affordable EVs out there. After the $7,500 tax credit (which is real money in your pocket when you file your tax return), a brand new Model 3 starts around $32,500 - and it's $40,000 without the tax credit. That's less expensive than the VW ID.4 or the Kia Niro or the Hyundai Ionic. It's so cheap these days that it's a full 20% less than the median new car price in the US (without the tax credit). If anything, they are producing so many of them and they are so cheap that they are losing any sort of cachet that they used to have (before Elon went full Space Karen), and the leagcy automakers are trying to compete in the "luxury EV" space more than the economy EV space (GM just killed the Bolt for example).
