  1. Born the year before the Senators moved to Arlington. Was a card-carrying ( tube sock wearing ) member of the "Jim Sundberg Dr. Pepper Junior Rangers" club. Was at the ALCS clincher in 2010 to see Nefti leave A-Rod looking and the celebration that followed. Glorious. After the TX-USC game, that was my lifetime sports highlight. The WS that year was disappointing but the year was already a success in my book. The 2011 WS, on the other hand, was ours for the taking. As that game moved into the 9th I woke my kids up (then aged 11 and 9) so they could experience this momentous event with a plan to head straight to Academy to get WS Champs gear. You all know what happened, eventually my 9 year old said, "why are you making me watch this"? If I have had a lower moment as a fan, it could only have been Colt's injury, but that was a little softened by the fact that the Horns had won it all only 4 years earlier. All that to say, LFG Rangers!!!!! Win the whole thing.
  2. My 10-year-old has asked about these apps, etc. He watches the Bettor Days series on ESPN+ talking about quirky bets and some bad beats, amazing wins. Kind of entertaining if you have any interest in sports betting.
  3. Just get Ameros before you leave. They are accepted worldwide.
  4. Bruiser Brody always did seem certifiable, even to my pre-adolescent brain. He seemed just a bit different than all the others. Kabuki was nightmare fuel for me. MF'er spewing that green mist.
  5. Mid-90s on a flight to Charlotte there were 4 or 5 guys up front who were obviously all flying together. Upon landing, we all end up on the same shuttle bus to the rental car lot. I was starting to figure out they were rasslers (not from my era) and when we got on the shuttle, the shuttle driver goes into full Chris Farley "that was awesome" guy mode. He was non-stop the whole way to the lot.
  6. Only thing I have seen this year from Texas Cares is a kids referral program. Maybe since you never tested positive they still had you on the radar.
  7. [csb] I used to work with Kerry's ex-wife in the early 90s, she was hot [csb]
  8. My son and I went to Baton Rouge for the LSU/Auburn game a few years ago. Had a great time. An observation I remember from the trip is that the locals definitely identify first as "Cajuns" and then whatever else they happen to be, kind of how must of us are "Texans" first and then whatever else we happen to be. Alcohol poisoning would definitely be on the table for most undergrads though.
  9. My observation over the years is that it is a function of fanbase optimism / irrational exuberance.
  10. Aggie children (shhhhhh!!!) and several aggie co-workers who have given me recommendations over the years.
  11. For real though, what did you go with? Thinking about pulling the trigger on Jellyfish in Dallas soon but would love more feedback.
  12. Jub to retirement home and Junior to pre-school carpool line or something else? Are their contracts almost up? They're both approaching 60 correct?
  13. If they are hanging around campus things will be full as previously indicated, if they have transportation and are open to straying from campus these are some good options. Cilantro in Bryan is good. hole in the wall tex-mex Mr. G's Italian Pizzeria (also downtown Bryan) is good pizza / Italian (casual) 1860 Italia (south college station) is good Italian (fancy for that area) Poche's Seafood (Cajun / Creole) https://pochesseafoodshoppeandrestaurant.com/ Le Petit Cochon (French Bistro) https://lepetitcochonbcs.com/ also south of town Gate 12 Bar & Grill (next to the airport) https://gate12barandgrill.com/ good food and a somewhat unique setting. (casual) Cooper's BBQ (decent BBQ and they can handle large gameday type crowds) Napa Flats (basically an independent chilis) Hopdoddy & Piada pretty close to campus in an area called Century Square where there are several restaurants
  14. Coach headset feed synced to end of ND - Duke game Sorry, can't figure out how to embed it, but this is pretty cool About 5 mins long.
  15. For real, just get there a bit early and this will be no problem. Having said that, sitting amongst the okies for a win can be glorious. Just don't be a complete ass, only about 60% of one. Hook 'em!!
  16. Can one of you with the proper skills add Venables face to the victim on this one...
  17. Horns - 38 Dirt Burglars - 16 Texas rushing 202 Is someone can add Venables face to this and put it on the gif thread, go for it.
  18. @Gale Snoats Since you mentioned low in the endzone you should be aware that there are about 8 or 10 rows in section 15 (circled on pic below) that are OU fans which makes up for what they lose from the tunnel cutout in section 33. I was seated a row behind them about 15 years ago and had never noticed they were there before. It was fine, we won that year and they took it in stride but if you are looking at low endzone seats you should at least be aware of it. you can make out the little swath of red circled in the photo below.
  19. BV prefers In-N-Out over Whataburger BV eats mayo on his fletchers BV wishes it was going to be 105 degrees at kickoff BV wants to move the game to Jerryworld
  20. some absolute art in this thread Bomar with the $$$ for posterity
  21. I'm thinking the Churreos have potential.
  22. I was thinking the exact same thing. That day was miserable in every way.
  23. Thinking about getting a cart. Inclined toward used. Any recommendations for where to look and what to look out for? 4 seater, electric. How old is too old? Any brands or features to seek out or avoid? Seems like a lot of the used ones are priced similar to new.
