  1. Both teams with 2 left on the course. Texas +8 last four holes, OU +4
  2. Texas falling apart at the end. +7 on last four holes and OU +3
  3. Still tied on 17-18
  4. Just heard from a friend. Kevin Garner passed away in his sleep last night. Verified through a couple of sources. 56 years old.
  5. San Antonio native and Longhorn graduate
  6. One way people get caught is that they change the mailing address for their tax notices
  7. You can also get Longhorn liners in the suit. Robert's a good guy. I got a couple from him about 3 months ago. Just have to watch the weight gain...sad nanner
  8. One thing I actually did right. I signed a 3 year fixed rate in 3/2021 at $08.6 kwh.
  9. They are not supposed to have access to MLS. They did a couple of years ago and the Austin Board of Realtors sued the MLS company for disclosing private information. Travis County lost access to the data and threw a hissy, saying that they couldn't get good data so they weren't going to raise valuations at all for that one year. It wouldn't surprise me if Travis County is paying someone behind the scenes for access, but since Texas is a non-disclosure state, they are not entitled to that info.
  10. It is not a slam dunk guarantee...I've heard from several people that didn't get it lowered to that amount. One was on a sale between siblings and the board decided that it wasn't an arm's length transaction (even though the price was legit). Another didn't get it when they closed early in the year (mid-January). Technically the value is supposed to be the value as of January 1st of 2022. With prices rising as fast as they are, there is no guarantee that you'll get what you paid...very likely, but far from guaranteed
  11. Just out of curiosity, how many different winners will there end up being? I'm down to my last 1:42 to avoid the shutout
  12. I wouldn't say it's a miss on the realtor's part without knowing the whole story. You can only price based on comps and you don't see sales prices until they close (on MLS). In times like these, it's not unusual for a 5-10% increase from house to house sale. You'd really have to see what the appraisal comes in at, keeping in mind that just about all successful offers include a waiver of appraisal, meaning they are buying not matter where it comes in. It can also be an effective strategy to slightly underprice a house to get a bidding war going. It's absolutely nuts but if you aren't bidding at least 15-20% over, you aren't even competitive at this point. It's kind of strange that the opposite can really hurt a house...even though they are going over list by and large, overpricing can lead to a house sitting on the market and getting a "reputation"
  13. Bally director sucks ass. Haven't seen a ball hit yet or where it's going Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk
  14. There's always that. Plus you add in that very few people itemize now and so they get no deduction for the home interest paid even when you factor in real estate taxes.
  15. Hope Trautwein (transfer in from North Texas) has given up 1 earned run in 47 innings. I thought she might struggle a little, but nope
  16. Just noticed that this is some type of co-rec basketball. Is there a school league for that?
  17. I fully understand that, and, technically, you'd have to make over $3700 when taxes on gains (assuming same 28% bracket) are realized. I'm speaking more to the general statement that I have heard many times from people that the interest deduction is a good thing in and of itself.
  18. I've never understood this logic on a personal home. You are paying $XXXX to save 28%. I realize that things get a little grayer when you are near the point where you itemize vs just take the standard deduction.
  19. Down the rabbit hole I go, but Richard Castellano is the nephew of Paul "Big Paulie" Castellano. Art imitates life or something like that
  20. Are you sure it's Graham? I'm not seeing anything about a current fire in that area. Of course, my google-fu game is pretty weak Maybe Granbury?

    Getting old sucks

  22. In Tomball for a wedding (yeah, I know). Filled up at the Costco yesterday for 3.039. Wish I had a bigger tank.
  23. The second had me thinking of curling for some reason
  24. Wasn't Sam a road team winner also?
  25. I think the may opposite saw it coming and reacted and he texted to that
