  1. Good to visit campuses ahead of applying just to get a “feel” of the place and to decide if you even apply to that school and then another round of visits once you get acceptance letters. We have a college “consultant” that gave us a list of schools our twins could get into - based on grades and potential scholarships - but after initial visits, eliminated some of those after the visit. Now doing the next round of visits once they got accepted to decide which is the best fit. (Sure, kid #2 could get into UNT or UTD with a free ride if they applied but after a visit, no way in hell did they want to go there based on what they saw on the initial visit…) Now that they have a few acceptances and $ offers, will revisit in the coming months to decide where to go… Will be having some tough discussions shortly - yea, I know you liked school x but I will have to pay out-of-state tuition for you to go there while school z is in-state and is offering you some $ as well…. Guess where you are going…
  2. Buddy of mine had lunch last year with a retiring Geology prof from the Jackson School and he said that a large % of the geology undergrads -I recall he said 75% - never do anything geology related with their BS degree but still we highly sought out by other fields for the same reason you mention about engineers regarding problem solving and analytical approach to things.
  3. Thanks- kid wanted a Dino rib so we headed to Lockheart…
  4. How many players did E.Rob sign at his new school?
  5. Doing a day trip to check our SWT, err Texas State with a kid tomorrow - any good lunch recommendations?
  6. FAFSA delay has put a pause on accepting… yea, my twins got accepted to all the schools they applied to (still waiting on SMU for one) but now it’s a waiting game to see who offers how much… sorry kid- you got accepted to school x that was your top choice but school #2 is offering you a full ride…
  7. No updates in awhile so I checked and they are 2nd in the division
  8. Maybe gross but not netting that amount unless it’s a speciality O&G pipeline shop… My Ag BIL has a fabrication and welding shop where we’re he does stuff on most of the major construction projects in his area and he isn’t clearing that much… I think his welders get in the 22-27$/hour
  9. Dropped int by Gideon in the TT game...
  10. Have any IDF casualty numbers been posted? I saw one early on when a IFV/tank got ambushed and the whole squad got eliminated and 2 more today during a rescue but not much else... I assume that going into urban and tunnel environment has caused some significant casualty figures.
  11. Death, taxes and Roll Left in the Big 12 title game... More impressive than that Strong 15" finger pic at the OU game a few years ago...
  12. TT version of a NIL Lambo?
  13. Per Point 1- It’s frigging torture seeing/hearing the SAME THREE SONGS/performances EVERY FRIGGING WEEK! (And don’t get me started on the cheerleaders who don’t actually do any cheers related to the actual football game…)
  14. How is this Surly without a pair of burnt orange Big Knocker Tiddies?
  15. I’m just guessing here but I would assume you have to actually be enrolled in school be be able to be on the team…
  16. What are his current bonuses? I thought I saw he got 100K for making it to the B12 Championship game, missed 50K for not getting B12 coach of the year. How much for the B12 game win and how much for making the CFP? How much for the other milestones like winning the CFP?
  17. So if we win it all and a&m beats OSU in their bowl, will we see 2023 added to the aggy wall of Nattys?
  18. What bonus does Sark get for reaching the CFP?
  19. I wanna see scissors come out after the game and them cut off the b12 patches on their jerseys…
  20. I am a YTTV subscriber and have access to ESPN+. I created an account on ESPN but don't pay for an additional subscription and just use my YTTV creds when prompted by ESPN+...
  21. I think it’s actually 3.99 with the digital coupon. Only allows one purchase at this price (and must spend 25$) but I usually get 2-3 for the freezer by getting new Kroger cards…
  22. My aggy nephew was in the Corpse and just graduated in the spring - he "signed his papers" his sophomore year with the Army and got money from them and a few weeks of Army training during the next 3 years and is actually in whatever they call officer training basic right now. We attended his graduation and there were probably 200 others graduating that were headed off to the various military branches. (Not sure how many were actually in the Corpse and he said it was a smallish % (20%?) of those in the Corpse that actually joined the military.)
  23. Yup - as is Hawaii
