  1. I’ll give you a tip: Wikipedia is your friend. You just have to choose your city and then see who flies there from where. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Metropolitan_Airport#Airlines_and_destinations As you can see, no one flies directly to Hawaii. So, you need to check the routing for Honolulu (Assuming that’s your desired destination): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_K._Inouye_International_Airport#Airlines_and_destinations You can create your routing from DTW through Phoenix on Southwest. You can now book DTW-PHX-HNL on Southwest as a singular ticket or 2 if you need an extra day to make the routing schedule work. (Overnight in PHX with a morning flight to HNL for availability purposes) If that doesn’t work, you can break up your tickets if you can’t find availability using a single airline. For example, you can book DTW-LAX on United and then LAX-HNL on AA or Hawaiian using BA Avios. Why? Because BA is a Oneworld alliance partner meaning you are using BA Avios but flying on AA/HA metal. BA is also a Chase transfer partner. Here’s an example: https://thepointsguy.com/guide/british-airways-sweet-spot-hawaii/ There are several different cities that you pair HNL with. Most airlines have an interline agreement for your check-in luggage to transfer to your new flight. You won’t get that with Southwest, meaning that you will need to recheck you luggage in LA if you use a different airline on one of your routes. If you are splitting airlines, make sure that you have plenty of time to catch your next flight as you may need to change terminals. You can check beforehand by Googling “What terminal does XXX fly into PHX” to double check yourself. (Or use the # link next to your airline on Wikipedia) Most airport sites will tell you the distance between terminals to plan accordingly. It just takes some practice. The golden rule is to make sure that all your ducks are in a row, for the class/# of tickets you need, BEFORE transferring any points.
  2. Are you saying Jesus couldn’t catch a forward pass?
  3. Too bad no one rushes the field when they beat Tech
  4. Wrong. We beat ourselves at least 3X
  5. Or, if TCU wins the Big 12, someone has to go to a NY bowl because TCU would be in the playoffs. We’d have the same record as KSU with the head to head win.
  6. They gifted KSU a TD to make them feel better
  7. If Baylor would have punted on first down every series, we would have shut them out.
  8. I’m not a COVID vaccine conspiracy theorist, but… Just got home Tuesday night after 3+ months in hospitals and nursing homes. The shorthand version is that I had 8 separate strokes and heart attacks while backing up my car from my driveway. My heart stopped 3X and I had to be brought back via CPR and the paddles. I spent my first 2 weeks in a coma and on a ventilator. The doctors gave me a 99% chance of not living through that first night. I’m now on dialysis 3X a week and doing PT/OT so I can walk again unassisted. I don’t do drugs and only socially drink every few months. Had 2 Pfizer shots in 2021 and my Pfizer booster on MLK day in 2022. Had my first hospital stint in Feb. 2022 for 4 days because my gait was off and I couldn’t walk straight without a cane. Started this latest stint in August. Turns out I had a blood clot in my leg that spread to my lungs and brain. I’ve been on various blood thinners up until a few days ago to get rid of the clot. I’ll be 44 in January and am in good health beyond Type 2 diabetes, which is now the most controlled that it ever has been. My resting heart rate is between 110-153 bpm and my blood pressure is all over the map. I’ve been told a myriad of different theories by doctors on how this happened. However, I have read a few different articles that hit a little too close to home. Apparently, people that have received the Pfizer shots/boosters have an increased risk for the following side effects: heart attacks, strokes, unusual blood clots and kidney failure. These are the exact same symptoms that I experienced. Coincidence? Perhaps. I just wish we had more data on what we are injecting into our bodies and the long term effects. Despite following “the rules” I’ve had COVID 2X that I’m aware of. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2022/06/moderna-covid-19-vaccines-safety-slightly-bests-pfizers “Relative to the Moderna group, Pfizer recipients had an excess per 10,000 people of 10.9 ischemic strokes (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9 to 17.4), 14.8 heart attacks (95% CI, 7.9 to 21.8), 11.3 other abnormal blood clotting (95% CI, 3.4 to 17.7), and 17.1 cases of kidney injury (95% CI, 8.8 to 30.2). The corresponding risk ratios for Pfizer versus Moderna were 1.17 (95% CI, 1.03 to 1.28) for ischemic stroke, 1.32 (95% CI, 1.16 to 1.49) for heart attack, 1.20 (95% CI, 1.05 to 1.32) for other blood-clotting events, and 1.16 (95% CI, 1.08 to 1.29) for kidney injury. In analyses that didn't exclude COVID-19–related adverse events, estimated risk differences were only marginally higher except for that for pneumonia, which rose from 5.9 (95% CI, −2.9 to 12.7) to 20.9 (95% CI, 11.4 to 29.5) events per 10,000 participants. In the 14 days after the first vaccine dose, the estimated risk of adverse events were low and comparable between the groups. In the first 42 days, the estimated risks were also low, but relative to Moderna recipients, Pfizer recipients had excess abnormal blood-clotting events (1.8; 95% CI, 0.2 to 4.2), heart rhythm abnormalities (7.5; 95% CI, 1.9 to 11.5), and kidney injuries (3.8; 95% CI, 2.1 to 8.0) per 10,000 people.”
  9. Let me know what shows/dates you are looking at. I always forget that I get discounted tickets through work.
  10. Have you watched our games?
  11. Call the automated 1-800 line on the back of the card and see when your last payment was.
  12. That’s a lot of words to say that you fucked up.
  13. We’re the worst 4-loss team in the nation
