  1. Yeah everyone says the Christmas party is cool, but we did Disneyland for spring break this year and my 8 year old never made it all the way to the fireworks. She crashes hard. We'll see. Not seeing anything about Runaway Railway at first glance. I do know that Big Thunder Mountain is gonna be closed while we're there, which is a bummer.
  2. Thanks. You and @mdmost crush this thread. We're staying at Wilderness Lodge. Four days in the parks but I think we're skipping Animal Kingdom. Maybe two days in Hollywood, can't remember what my wife said. We're also doing the Christmas party one night. The mouse fucking owns my ass right now (but it's gonna be awesome, I'm pumped). edit: for MK and HS, the strategy I came up with on my own is pretty similar to what you have. I've got Epcot fucked up though. Didn't realize that Guardians is the best ride. The plan I came up with was to rope drop Test Track, get a multipass for Remy's, and buy a single pass for Guardians. What do you think?
  3. Oh cool. I was hoping that discussion of the 10-year-old would keep going for a bit.
  4. Thanks. What’s your strategy with the single pass rides? Do you just book those for whenever, or is it better to rope drop those rides so you can ride them for “free” and then do a LL later in the day if you want to ride it again. My kids are 11 and 8 btw but are down for any ride Disney can throw at them (coasters, etc).
  5. Individual seats? You sound poor. It is high time that some forward-thinking visionary builds the first ever luxury suite-only stadium. Think of the monetization!
  6. We could've traded Seager to the Dodgers for Clayton Kershaw to guarantee ourselves the first pick.
  7. The Athletic's simulator has the Cowboys at 53% to make the playoffs if they win out. Single digits percentage if they go 3-1.
  8. @mdmost is there a website with straightforward Lightning Lane strategies for WDW? We used disneylanddaily.com for visiting Disneyland but their info doesn't seem as updated or complete for Disney World. I liked it because it basically just had a simple list with optimal strategy.
  9. King Large was in ur mom's portal last night gotem
  10. Owens as well
  11. What a bitch move. Someone gets left out every year.
  12. Every one of you knows that you’ll be in the game thread bitching the whole time just like the rest of us. Don’t nobody posting on this website act like you’re too cool for exhibition football.
  13. Regarding deflation, remember that these are the same people who have never been able to wrap their heads around progressive tax rates. "If I get a raise I'll actually LOSE money!!!"
  14. I just realized that I get to listen to my in laws talk about soccer for the next year because Trump thinks it’s cool now.
  15. I think they're gonna move shit around to try to best satisfy local TV markets. Thought I read somewhere that the locations will be finalized early next week.
  16. My gut is that we're better than the Aussies, worse than Turkey, and about equal to Paraguay. Not advancing would be a major failure given the format.
  17. I can't for the life of me understand why y'all are watching this clown show. Just check ESPN or whatever this evening and save your sanity.
  18. Jett Walker's tape is just 5 minutes of him running straight ahead through holes you could drive a truck through. It's not even a 1-cut running style, it's like 0-cut. He does have good size, decent straight line speed, and doesn't mind contact. I suppose he's a guy that's happy to come to Texas, play school, get 30 carries a year trucking defenders from SHSU, and be a motherfucker on special teams.
  19. It’s over. Losing to a good Detroit team at their place isn’t the cardinal sin, though. Let us not forget that Jerry “built” one of the worst defenses in league history coming into the season and that’s the reason we’re not going to be in the playoffs.
  20. Okie State probably wishes that were true right about now
  21. Yeah. It's fine. Doesn't matter. We're just replacing bowls as year-end entertainment at that point. I don't believe that, say, #19 Michigan truly has a chance to get hot and win 5 games in a row and lift the trophy, but it also doesn't hurt anything. More football is good.
  22. You're on the right track. The only thing that makes logical sense would be a complete reorganization of college football into something like you propose. I've always thought that 8 10-team regional conferences with promotion/relegation to 1-AA makes a ton of sense. The problem is that it will never happen. Money is the big reason, but there's a whole lot of practicalities that make it impossible. Reorganization and realignment will continue to happen, but as it has already - in fits and starts, piecemeal, and unequally. That means deciding a champion will always have some fuckery to it. We used to argue about who is #1. Then the BCS came along and we argued about the top 2. Then the playoff and we argued about the top 4. Now it's top 12(ish). If they expand to 16, I guarantee that #17's fans will be pissed off in the first year. We as Texas fans are mad right now, and probably rightly so, but there's diminishing returns on the number of teams you put in the playoffs. The 16th best team doesn't actually have much of a chance to win it all. Honestly I kind of doubt that the 12th best does. Fourth best might. The one change that intrigues me a little bit it just getting rid of the committee. Use a computer, or Elo, or whatever and just be done with it. Publish the parameters that go into the calculation. At least that way everyone knows what they need to do.
  23. Yes, but maybe not enough. IT said that they don't believe both Henry and Lott end up at Oregon, but that USC is in good position with Lott. My guess is that Texas has made it's last and final NIL offer to Lott and that he can get more elsewhere. This shit right here is legit:
  24. Intredasting. I missed that.
