  1. Sometimes we really do give texags a run for their money, but they always beat us on volume.
  2. Is that like the old "I just voted for Jesse Jackson" bit from Eddie Murphy?
  3. Championship game on the 20th of January. What a time to be alive. The first 12 Superbowls were wraped up between the 9th and 18th of January prior to adding wild card weekend. SB13 through SB35 were still all in January. College was done on Jan 1 except for all star games at one time back in the 80s.
  4. Reminded me of the 2022 Baylor game where QE was just fucking up all over the place including a defensive td. Then Sark remembers he has Bejan and Roshon and just mashes for the win.
  5. Spring game. This place is slipping.
  6. I'm taking my youngest son to Matagorda 3 mile cut this weekend for a little camping and kayak fishing. I'm sure the duck hunters and Trumper flag people will be out in full force. Also, if I remember correctly, and I think I do, the Trumpers got pretty damn uppity after the 2016 election, so I am also expecting that as well. Yay America.
  7. My plan too. Hill sprints tonight which usually make it hard for me to go to sleep, but tonigjt will play right into my plan oc staying up later to watch results.
  8. Yeah, this thread does not seem like a party that keeps on going. It feels more like a meeting that has run past 5 on a holiday weekend.
  9. Wunderground went from like .5 to 2.5"+ for west Austin. I am skeptical.
  10. I won't even put a longhorn sticker on my truck. People are crazy.
  11. Posse alum as well. 1990 for about 6 months. Cook and beertender. CSB: However, I have a soft spot for the C and A. The night if 4th and 5, I arrived at the Posse at around 3pm, only to find all tables staked out and unavailable. So I went over to the Crown and settled in and waited for my crew. This was not my usual crew, since they all had game tickets. I had sold mine at face value to a friend since my in laws were in town, my wife was pregnant, we were finishing up our new home, and I had drank enough beer that season to float the Russian army. The new crew was great and we had a great time analyzing the game in real time which was easy since I did the whole night without drinking since I wanted to be able to drive safely if there should be meriment on the drag after the game. I will never forget that night and the unbelievable feeling when Vince strolled into the end zone. Thank you crown and Anchor. PS I like their burgers better than the Posse.
  12. I was 10 years old and on a cruise with my folks back in 77. My brother and I were going to watch Blazzing Saddles for a matinee l, but the cruise staff fucked up and was showing this violent porno flick called "Clay Pigeons " instead. We stayed for the whole thing and BS the next day. Good times.
  13. Taken a couple of weeks ago while visiting my mom Went to talk to my dad at his gravesite after a gravel ride on the country roads.
  14. Get out there. The weather is nice in the am. Ive been putting in 90+ mile weekends and some sprints and hills during the week. All the stress I have been under brought me down to 177lbs from 205 in the winter. It makes a huge difference.
  15. Oof. Reminds me of TCU game a couple of years ago. Offense could do nothing...can do nothing.
  16. How about we neither buy or sell and shut the fuck up until the season is done before we start with this kind of talk.
  17. Back in my mid 40's, about 10 years ago, I started paying more attention to my health for a period of time. I got on a modified paleo type of diet that was really easy for me at the time. I didn't have any really horrible habits, so for me it was a matter of cutting out the simple carbs and hitting the protein and vegetables a little harder. That diet was part of the Mark's Daily Apple protocol, which also inluded walking or other light movements for 3 to 5 hours per week, some body weight excercises, and some sprinting every 7 to 10 days. It was all very effective and simple and I got down to the mid 170s and as a 48 to 52 year old man, I could do more than I could in my 20's, except for super high intensity stuff like running a mile in under 5 minutes or shorter equivalents I mention this for the body weight stuff, because in my early 50s there was some joint pain that flared up and I had to modify things but I didn't. Only this summer at 57, did I humble myself and started working out with light dumbbell work, not with any plan, but just to do something other than sitting on my ass. My joints would be sore and I felt like I was over the hill and a wreck. But gradually, the soreness went down and my body adapted so I could do slighly more weight or more reps. It was really amazing when you drop expectations and deadlines what can happen. I am talking very light weight like 25lbs dumbell bench press and the like. I mention this so that if you are discouraged or intimidated by losing weight or getting strong, just start by doing some things that don't hurt too much and stick with them. And rather than have expectations of losing 2 to 3 lbs per week. Lower that and just try to feel better and give it time.
  18. Down to 177 from 205 in the winter. Gave up drinking in late June and only cheated a few times. No cheating going forward. May never touch the stuff again or waste another minute of my life drunk or hungover. I have been cycling and doing some dumbell stuff at home. If you read the divorce, jobs, or between the ears threads, you will lnow that I am under a lot of stress right now and it likely to continue for a couple of years. I do not recommmend for weight loss.
  19. This thread terrifies me. As 57 year old with concrete construction management ex.perience and also still holding his CPA liscence (I have not practiced in over 25 years), I'm sure there are options for some grunt work. I feel like I am tainted since I was self employed for so long and my company was not all that successful given the time and place I was in. I kind of feel like a fraud. I am in a dark place now. My business partner wants to quit but will keep going, but we need some new work and I just dont feel like I can go forward and it seems like I cant quit.
  20. Just got bloodwork back. Blood sugar is 114 or pre diabetic. If you read the other topics on this board you will see that I am under a tremendous amount of stress rigjt now: Possible divorce. Closing my business Looking for new job at 57 Possible sale of 2 properties. Dad died last year and i need to care care if some things there. Kids in house 16 to 18...not sure what to expect. Been getting 3 to 5 hours sleep the last 2 weeks. So I imagine my numbers are going to be elevated. I already excercise and could only lose 10 lbs max. No sodas or sugary drinks in my life. Cut out bananas, pasta, rice, breakfast cereal? Any ideas on the effect of stress?
  21. Seeing the Dr. Thursday for annual. Still can't sleep and even when I can, I'm sure it's not great. It's been like this for a week now. I am paralyzed with fear of the future and present, while still being able to recall every fuck up from the past that got me here. There is so much unknown right now. Im in a pretty dark place. I can usually sleep through anything and go to bed right away, but not now.
  22. Need a good rec for testosterone check and gp. I haven't been to the Dr. In years and the last couple I have been just a lump. I stoll work out amd ride my bike, but I am reaping the consequences of sloth. The wife is probably going to divorce me over cumulative marriage issues that I just didn't address. Ive been to Total Mens, but not sure if that is any good. Life is very stressful right now and I cant sleep and it is affecting my judgement, so any otc sleep stuff recommendations would be great too.
