  1. So I should invest a bunch of time and money to hope my team can be a spoiler? That's not gonna happen. BTW, I'm a CU fan. My team has the same number of NCs in my lifetime (50 years) as Texas does. But their trajectories are going to be very different going forward.
  2. Between NIL, the portal and the way all the money and power in CFB has been amassed by the B1G and SEC, I'm just not as interested in CFB as I used to be. Only a select few teams can afford the top players and you never know who will even be on the team from year to year. Lower tier teams are now being used as farm teams for the top teams because players can leave at any time. The ironic thing is I don't have a problem with NIL. The players deserve a cut of all the money they make the schools. But when combined with the portal, it has guaranteed that only maybe 10 teams ever have a real shot at winning it all. If your team is one of them (and UT is), I can see how you like it. For the rest of us, it's not good. And as our interest wanes, so will profits and payouts to all teams.
  3. Meh. 10 years ago I would have really cared and really wanted CU in the B1G. Don't care anymore. College football is unrecognizable from what it used to be. I'll still watch and I'll still pull for the Buffs, but I hate where CFB is and where it is going.
  4. lizard people need special ventilation, too.
  5. It has always looked like that. The gazillion dollars was spent on the inside. New security is much better, though.
  6. Meh, there's little difference between B and C at DIA. And you have to ride the train to A now as well.
  7. I finally cut cable and did YTTV and will add on Altitude + for Nuggets/Avs. I have Prime separately. Hopefully I don't need to add anything else.
  8. Yep. Almost all of my business flights are DEN - IAH/DFW/AUS. United is the way to go.
  9. I have no idea how spendy it is for out of state, but it's really reasonable for in state. Total cost for this year including room and board is less than 20k after his scholarship is applied. The going to class thing is gonna be real, though.
  10. Dropped off little Chewy in Durango at Ft Lewis yesterday. He wasn't at all interested in big schools, nor did he want to leave CO. I think it's going to be a great fit for him, even though it's very different than what his parents chose ( both Trinity grads). He's on a float trip down the San Juan right now through the outdoor rec program at the school. They do all kinds of hiking, biking, rafting and ski trips. I think I might have been the one to choose poorly.
  11. Completely anecdotal, but I've never met a CC grad that wasn't a douchebag.
  12. Campus is easy to navigate. 1997 grad
  13. And diddling kids. To be clear, they are the diddlers, not the protectors they want to envision they are.
  14. He lives in an apartment an hour away from me. I haven't been inside it in probably 6 years.
  15. I wish I could say the same thing. My dad has gone from a never Trumper in 2020 to a full blown supporter. In the last few weeks he has told me that he thinks Trump is a good man, that tariffs are a good thing for the economy and that gas in CA is $8/gallon because Newsome shut down the refineries. They believe so many things that are objectively false and easily disprovable with 2 min of Google searches. But he sits at home, mainlining Fox News all day long and believes them over anything else. Had dinner with him 2 nights ago because my youngest is going off to college. It was such a strained conversation because all he wants to talk about is his dumb Fox News shit but he knows that I won't abide that. So we had several long, awkward silences as I tried to think of safe topics to discuss. And even then, he tried to slip some bullshit into the conversation a couple of times but stopped when it was immediately refuted. I want the man who raised me back and I know he's gone forever. He's 85 and has been fully consumed by the right wing propaganda machine.
  16. Depends on what kind of dog you have. When we got our current dog (9 year old purebred Newfie), the cheapest pet insurance policy I could find was $200/mo. For an 8 week old puppy. And we know it just goes up every year from there. Even with all the money we've spent on him (probably 15k), we are well ahead of where we would be with pet insurance.
  17. This is fucking bizarre. Since they clearly are not going to play him unless they have to, they should trade him at this point. This is an insane depth chart after how he played on Friday, though.
  18. That's how I feel about the F50 and Enzo. But I love me some F40.

    Can you get in yet? I'd like to visit but got tired of waiting for the email invite.
  20. He thinks windmills are ugly so he doesn't want them built. I don't think it goes any deeper than that. This cocksucker is doing serious harm to my business for no fucking reason at all right now. I hate him so fucking much.
  21. Yeah, I respect the engineering and the performance but today's hypercars do nothing for me. I think the Porsche 918/La Ferrari/P1 are the last ones I really liked. I would never own any sports car at this point in my life, though. They are useless where I live.
  22. Not an option on the goggles.
