  1. Concepts considered when the Colt 45’s decided to change their name for the new domed stadium. They made the right choice, but I would buy this tshirt.
  2. One of my favorite moments about that is when Walter asks about the beeper going off during league play and the Dude says something about telling them about his bowling schedule... just the thought of the Dude explaining to the bad guys about not bothering him during the semis is hilarious.
  3. Shit yeah, the achievers! Yes, the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers and proud we are of all of them.
  4. It’s happened in most all MLB games, too, for as long as I can remember. My personal favorite is the home crowd boos out of their minds when the pitcher throws over to first for the 5th time, only to erupt into applause when the runner steals 2nd on the next pitch.
  5. Haha.. the drive thru thing happens to me all the time. Maddening.
  6. ....Banana daiquiri My personal all time favorite movie. The original is somewhere in the top 5. As great as Pacino’s career went on to become, he might have peaked as Micheal Corleone in GFII.
  7. Tables or chairs that have uneven legs and are wobbly. My wife making it a point to announce every single time how little it bothers her, ratchets up the surly to 11.
  8. Wife, daughter, and I are renting a house in Gulf Shores with some close friends and their kids. I’ll be hob knobbin’ with Alabama elites. I do have a 2009 Longhorn National Champs tshirt some vendor was giving away in the Rose Bowl tailgate area that night. Maybe I’ll wear that and see if anyone notices 🤔.
  9. Did they move for a third time or is this a second location?
  10. I’ve found the “Inside the Tower of London” series to be really interesting. It mixes the modern day to day lives of the operations crew with it’s medieval history. They’ve been replaying an older series titled, “8 Days That Made Rome” that I’ve seen before, but am watching again. I recommend both for anyone interested in those periods of history.
  11. Team dirty vodka martini, here, but not with my steak. It’s my pregame steak routine, followed by the steak paired with a Bordeaux.
  12. Yep. That place is a must visit if you’re in the area.
  13. If you have the Cooking Channel or Ovation, they both show reruns of No Resevrations. I have my DVR set to record as many as possible and to never erase.
  14. Too many cooks in the kitchen in Parts Unknown. Still beautifully shot, but overproduced and many shows went too many directions. They also fell into the editors rut of doing the same formulaic montages with local bands over quick cut video for about 12% of every episode. No Reservations felt like a small crew constantly innovating what they were doing.
  15. Guy Fieri’s schtick is oddly less annoying the more you watch. DDD has fantastic content and is great for what it is. He’s not trying to educate the world on different cultures like Bourdain or Zimmern, he’s just carved out a killer living showing people what a great chicken sandwich looks like in Portland or whatever, and it makes for enjoyable, interesting TV.
  16. Team wayyyy too long, here.
  17. Like a Steve Madden commercial from the 90’s.
  18. While Sam is heading to the WAC with SFA, Lamar, etc.. they’re outgrowing those universities and the rest of the Southland conference schools. Sam’s enrollment is now over 20K with a goal to hit 30K by 2030. It was 13K when I was there 1996-2000. They’ve embraced/capitalized on Houston’s growth to the north and have set claim to The Woodlands with and MBA program based there and now a medical school. This WAC move is the move that angles them towards FBS in the next 5 years and is major move for them in basketball, baseball, and the Olympic sports.
  19. Sam Houston is absolutely not part of the Texas A&M university system. Sam is a member of the Texas university system that includes Texas State and Lamar, among others.
