  1. I saw Roy Williams run at the Texas Relays his senior year of high school. And saw Cedric Benson play against Huston Street in the state championship.
  2. Members of the group that met with the team early on to discuss the changes (stadium name, building names, etc.) met with the team again this afternoon, and Hartzell is to meet with them tomorrow. Maybe that's already been posted, but didn't see it in the last couple of pages.
  3. His wife has a great body. At least a nice rack.
  4. Tax cuts Had more covid than anyone in history and beat it. The doctors were truly amazed at how much he had. So was Chuck Norris.
  5. To keep calling a play that leaves the middle open is so fucking stupid. No excuse and the world knew what was coming.
  6. If they are rich as fuck, then they keep lower taxes with him in office. So they have that to gain/maintain. I can't stand the man, but I will say his tax cuts helped me quite a bit and I'm no where close to rich.
  7. Outside of Abilene coming back from Wyoming several years ago I hit a buzzard that was late getting off the road kill. Came off the front end, looked up and watched him go over the sunroof, then checked the mirror and watched him hit pavement. The next summer, within a couple of miles of that spot, wife was behind the wheel and hit one.
  8. The Oldsmobiles are in early this year.
  9. There is no way you can convince me those people are homeless for any reason other than their own choice.
  10. The 2008 would like to say hi. Left enough time for Crabtree to make his play.
  11. not sure the budget, but Privilege Aluxes has a two bedroom unit. Plenty of privacy between the two rooms.
  12. Play by the rules? The democrats are saying they'll reinvent the Supreme Court and stack it if Trump follows the Constitution and appoints a new justice. They love to make up new rules.
  13. Fall Guy - the Unknown Stuntman
  14. My son told us yesterday their were over 70 positives at Hardin last week and they are sending girls home.
  15. Yeah, it's all because of the police. It has nothing to do with the rest of society.
  16. That fact that there is zero respect for property and persons, including authority figures, is the reason we are in the shit that we are in.
  17. I never knew any of these people, as they died before I was born. My great grandma was shot 6 times by her first husband. A family friend heard the shooting and came to the house. He found her husband standing over her. When the sheriff showed up the husband had apparently shot himself in the head. And then put the gun in his pocket. My great grandma survived. She married the family friend and they had a son - my grandpa. It became common knowledge that the family friend shot the husband and put the gun in the pocket. So if true, my great grandpa may have been a murderer.
  18. Great idea and I'm in. Saved over 30 years ago.
  19. Seems to me resisting arrest is not a good idea.
  20. Interesting that as the school year approaches there's suddenly a huge rise in cases in kids.
  21. San Antonio bought bus tickets for homeless and sent them to Austin when the camping back got thrown out last year.
  22. Most of them should be at the state hospital already.
  23. That video needs to go to TCEQ, Governor, State Reps, news channels, etc. Fuck Adler and his minions.
  24. You are completely wrong on the SOS purpose - it had nothing to do with affordability at the time. It was to stifle development. The support for SOS and the environmental restrictions were from people that were not in the well-to-do neighborhoods. They were from older areas of south Austin, Oak Hill, and other areas that in the late 80's did not have the growth and gentrification they have today. It was Bill Bunch and Mary Arnold and Bridget Shea and others that simply wanted the City to stop development. The opposition to SOS came from those white neighborhoods as you call them - that's where the developers, builders, members of the real estate community lived. They fought SOS tooth and nail. Affordability wasn't even thought about then because Austin was still in the midst of the 80's bust. As the project that got scuttled, if it was planned it would have been built. EV restrictions do not impact planned projects - they are grandfathered. Now if it was in the planning process and didn't meet the development requirements in the code at the time, then it would not have been built. And the environmental restrictions on the east side 20 years ago were, and in many cases still are, less restrictive than other areas of the City. 20 years ago a lot of the east side had development incentives by way of being part of the desired development zone which had such things as reduced fees, higher impervious cover allowances, smart housing possibilities, and so forth. Lastly, Tarrytown has been built out for decades. The EV regulations have had little impact there other than for tear downs and rebuilds.
  25. I don't know. Seems when spankings were still ok kids grew up more respectful than they are now in the orange slices for everyone world.
