  1. Not my 3 year old. Pretty sure she’s human. Most of the time I’m sure, at least.
  2. I was told there would be no math.
  3. That's honestly a fairly good crowd for a mid-week game in February.
  4. Pretty sure we don’t play Miss State in Austin 2 years in a row. We actually only have 3 home conference games this season, since we are the “home team” in the cotton bowl against OU.
  5. Bookmark this page and thank me later: https://linktr.ee/texasbsb
  6. Volantis seems like he doesn’t suck.
  7. I read that as "statin" at first and I was like, damn, they already give college kids cholesterol meds?
  8. Also, as a gripe, I have these Freeze Miser faucet protectors on my hose bibs with northern exposure. The idea is that you connect these, turn the hose bib all the way on, and when it gets below about 37 degrees it starts to auto drip your faucets for you, to keep them from freezing. They usually work great. Except that someone (and I don't know who, it could have been the wife, could have been some workers we had at our house over the weekend), decided to turn the handles to off. So the hose bibs froze over anyway. So I have that going for me.
  9. Was there on Monday and Tuesday when it was snowing a ton and never got above 20 degrees (and was in the single digits/teens most of the time). It was colder, but more comfortable, than the 20 degrees in Austin with the wind and humidity, if that makes sense.
  10. And now he’s dead. So we can definitely say it was a horrible idea.
  11. There is. LHF emails you if you don't use your tickets, and asks that you either list them for sale or let someone else use them. I try to use as many of my tickets as possible, and I give them away to friends/co workers when I can't got. But the reality is, there are games I can't make that I can't even give tickets away to (midweek games, early season games when the weather isn't as good, etc.). If I can't go or can't give them away, I do usually throw my tickets up on Seat Geek for about $10 bucks so that someone can get in the door for under $15 a ticket after fees, but I don't do it until a few days before the game most of the time. So go look online if you want single game tickets, GA tickets can be had for like $10 right now and seats like mine (under the awning) are going for ~$20 each after fees for the home opener, and even less for the next weekend series.
  12. I’ve also frozen my ass off at the Disch many times. Grow a pair.
  13. That’s a weird nickname for @South Austin’s mom
  14. almost completely accurate
  15. Where did he go?
  16. If I were going to eat Solo in NOLA and price wasn't an option, I'd try to sit at the bar at Restaurant August, but it may be a little fancier than what you are going for. The bar at GW fins is actually pretty good for people watching, and they serve the full menu there. But it gets crowded. I've been meaning to try Little Miss at the Four Seasons - it's one of Alon Shaya's restaurants. I've heard good things, but the people watching at the Four Seasons may not be as fun.
  17. Only one day until the Alumni game!
  18. You'll be fine anywhere From St. Charles to Magazine street for sure (either way - towards downtown or towards Garden District).
  19. I'm probably moving to Colorado (Denver/Boulder/Fort Collins) in the next 12-18 months. So, wish this life-long Texan luck in the next Surly Winter Weather thread.
