Georgia game in Athens is right around the corner...given that it’s in the middle of our conference schedule we probably don’t want to be there. It will be quite the let down to have to play them given our schedule in the best b-ball conference in the land.

Finebaum on his show just said this was a “complete beat down by Texas” and the score is very misleading...

Listening to ESPNU radio on XM they had a talking head running down coaching changes and the outlook for next year. I never caught his name but he stated with the defense Texas has in place and talent returning (Ehlinger) he felt Texas was closer to playing for an NC than OU. He also stated that OU's DC hire was one of the most important in the country as Texas stands poised to dominate the conference for the next couple of years. It's nice being in the discussion.

I was coming here to post the above almost word for word. Thanks for saving me the keystrokes. I would only add that ill-timed injuries to key players is always a wild card

so its my wife's fault? wait 'til I tell her....

Joel Klatt has become one of my favorite commentators....

I was certain we’d win by 7 or so, hold them to less than 100 yards rushing and see Sam win the MVP...what is wrong with you people?

“University of champions”....I kind of like it...

Fireworks going off in my neighborhood. People cheering...

OU and ND crapping the bed in a an NC game. What else is new?

This is a classic convergence of more buyers than sellers....

Edit: Video posted elsewhere

What you have here is a classic instance of more sellers than buyers....

A couple of thoughts.... 1. Break up the trip a bit to limit the inflight agony. Example, fly to Edinburgh or Dublin on UA via Newark. No flight leg will be over 6 hrs . Hop on the RyanAir cattle car once you make it to Europe. 2. Fly UA's nonstop IAH-Munich. Its a 767....if traveling with spouse, try and book the window aisle combo (767 is a 2-3-2 configuration). One thing about Munich flight...try and go Tues-Wednesday and the coach cabin should be fairly open. This could buy you some more room. As stated above.....all airline food sucks. Even UA's Polaris food is nothing to rave about. Get the airport early and eat at one of the numerous restaurants around IAH. Take an iPad and spring for the wifi (the transcon wifi is surprisingly good).

You need to wait....too early to try and cash in.

who needs Amazon?

Another version....up to 15k employees...

Thought I’d put this here as well...is this the worse kept secret in Austin?

Haha

The hipster from the Verizon commercials is in it so it can't be all bad.....

There's a Chick-fil-A at 42nd and Madison. When I was there 2 weeks ago there was a protest going on about asbestos with big inflatable rat out front. Apparently Chick-fil-A serves asbestos, or at least that's what a couple of loons in NYC seem to think. Place is always packed with lines to the door. NYC loves them some CFA.....

The Woodlands gets a bowl game? Will Herbie be doing the color? Gameday could use the green at Market Street
