  1. When they say “mobility” do they mean like a mobility scooter? Is that historically accurate?
  2. Here’s pic with it filled.
  3. Doesn’t do it justice but here is.
  4. Got a cool Longhorn decanter. Longhorn bar towel New barware set Longhorn lounge pants All in all a good haul
  5. I am glad to be out of the having to put toys together business. My youngest is 14 so Santa not a thing at the house anymore. Hope it all worked out for you and that the kids don’t come out to you slumped over a bike frame with an allen wrench in one hand and bottle of Bourbon in the other.
  6. I can only speak for myself in saying 1) I love this site. (and most of the assholes that populate it). While I have met very few of you in person (why spoil the mystery) over the years, I truly enjoy the discussion/commentary etc from this place. 2) Original written content (a la the stuff Scipio did back in day or old school Jesus Shuttlesworth stuff) isn't as appealing for me vs the aggregation (to be fair I am not running site/managing site expenses etc). I like fact that this place is in a lot of ways a single source for Longhorn shit across the internet. I actually value the independence that Surly has vs trying to be a sunshine pumper or being beholden to Belmont for access etc (exception being Thujone needs to get off his ass as MS Paint threads are always gold) 3) Shaggy cloak room skewed right, Surly cloak room skews left, Mods do a good job by and large keeping politics off other boards. I am sure that the cloak room threads have pushed some folks away but at the end of the day I cannot imagine it is a different number than in years past. Key to CR is to keep it in CR (see TexAgs as an example of when you don't) 4) This place is at its best when threads start organically vs being forced (1st Sexual Encounter thread in MS Paint as an example). Maybe there could be a better way to pin or highlight fast moving threads for exposure. This could serve to encourage views. Maybe have a hot thread folder where top threads for week appear etc. All in all this is a good site and a good community of assholes. If a fan from another program gets their feelings hurt because they made some stupid "herp a derp" take, good. Fuck 'em. There have been tons of fans from other schools over the years that have made this place a home and added value/contributed. This is hard part of providing a B2C service, 100s of different opinions/likes/dislikes etc. It is why I have always done B2B Sales.
  7. For love of god do not sign that Joc Pederson motherfucker. Has one of the most punchable faces in baseball and I would hate to see his shitty fucking ass in an Astros uniform. (Just reacting to post upthread listing available LF)
  8. little more than an exec with Fedex. His dad was founder. Fred Smith also owned 5% of the Redskins that Snyder sold to pay down the debt obligations Snyder had. That is how baby boy Arthur got his start in Washington.
  9. Nice seeing Suh seeing Nebraska’s dreams go down in flames again. Hook ‘em Horns Ladies. total domination
  10. Hell of a drop off from Daddario’s hotness to these two.
  11. No shit. I would never root for OU to win shit. I have never had to worry about aggy winning anything but I would never root for their ass either.
  12. The boarding process will take 30 mins longer as half the flight will be wheel chairs and fatties. Reason 1001 not to fly SWA.
  13. Wish MM the best but what I saw in Arch’s short number of plays would have me 100% starting him/developing him vs Murphy. If all things were equal in passing game I like the mobility that Arch brings to bear.
  14. Damn. Saw this and got depressed. He was so, so good in everything he did. “Homicide” was one of my absolute favorite shows. RIP AB.
  15. Katfid - “What switch?, That’s not the same guy??”
  16. He looks like the guy with the shrunken head in “Beetlejuice”
  17. Watched “Just One Mile”. Documentary about a race that is a “Last Man Standing” format and is a 1.1 mile loop with ~325’ elevation gain. Amazon Prime.
  18. I can’t remember the name of the dude that was on the “On Texas Football” pod when Bobby or Gerry didn’t host. (He was an ex-sportswriter/broadcaster) but he was an absolute beating. Just sucked and seemingly knew zero about the Longhorns.
  19. I get bands practice on parking lots, I understand it is hard work, I have been to the last couple of years of games where my son plays and the band hasn't finished on time once. Add in fact that both bands perform and it is a mess. I have no issue with bands performing, it is the set pieces and staging that adds so much time. March on field, play march off. The scope creep of what band performances are today is symbolic for the creep of everything getting over the fucking top. It is not necessary. It is a HS football game not Austin Lyric Opera.
  20. They must have a great archeology program as God knows they are always dwelling in the past.
  21. I am in 100% violent agreement here. Especially at the HS level. HS bands now bring out fucking set pieces and do some big operatic display that is nearly 2/3 as long as the fucking game. Nearly every game the referees should throw a flag for delay of game as the band(s) go over as it takes them forever to get all of their shit off the field. Why college bands can just march on to the field and GTFO yet HS bands have to make it some giant Broadway fucking production is beyond me. Best part of home games at House Park is I can walk to the Tavern during halftime and grab a beer because I know that I will have plenty of time to do so.
  22. I’d rather watch that game vs the 6A ones. Don’t disagree but having a kid that plays for them they have no shot in 6A. LT at 3700 kids is nuts.
  23. Austin High 20 kids over cutoff. Just a joke. Pretty much only HS in AISD to take transfers and it kills them.
  24. Why do we still have “chain gangs” in football. Can’t RFID chips be put in the ball and sensors on sideline? I have clients running entire factories with machines and no humans (barring mechanics) and we still have dipshits arbitrarily spotting the ball and moving the chains around.
  25. ESPN could layoff everyone and just have AI announcers and it would be a better product.
