  1. NM
  2. Agreed, she is not the norm. People want blood for their property from what ive seen. She walked away with ~$350K since her cost basis was the cost of the stuff she improved. She for sure is not the norm since the house was given/gifted to her. Sounds like she just wanted to be done by the New Year.
  3. Stayed in a cabin in Gatlinburg. As other have said, its mainly Panama City in the mountains. Dollywood was great however. Grotto Falls is a great hike, not easy , but not hard and the money shot is worth it. Looks like the waterfall scene in Last of the Mohicans. The drive from G'Burg to Asheville and on to Grove Park INN was amazing, not sure how hard that area got hit with floods, but the drive was a top 10er for me.
  4. staying down the street from there, we'll check it out.
  5. My guess is he was looked after pretty well in El Paso (first 5 star ever to come from there) and when he got the ATX, he fell in to the welcoming hands of bad influencers and it was all over for him. Maybe an element of bright lights big city got hold of him. I remember Mack gushing over him when he used to do those signing day resume talks.
  6. Headed to Sonoma Th-Sun. Friend's wife is turning 5-0. Staying at the Lodge in Sonoma. Sangiacomo Friday tasting, Chalk Hill and Chateau St Jean are on standy Saturday with dinner at Wit and WIsdom one night.
  7. You arent lying man. I took my wife (no pics) to the Cole Pittman game. Her first Texas game, we had just been married earlier in the year. Now our oldest is 21. The book his Dad wrote is a great read, just get the tissues ready.
  8. Lot of younger Surlers may not know Earl had 2 brothers who were great Horns in their own right. RIP to Tim, one hell of a DL for us in the 70's. Earl had two brothers, twins, Tim and Steve. Tim wrecked shop on Defense , first at Tyler JT where they won state in '77 and then at Texas, where Tim set records on the Defense. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/football/2025/02/03/tim-campbell-texas-football-longhorns-de-earl-campbell-brother/78160496007/

  10. This is isnt about this year or next. Luka is now Laker for the next 10 years.
  11. Luka is 25. Let that sink in. 25 and one of the top players in the world. Mavs trade him for a draft pick and a washed up center/role player.
  12. Dave Campo and Jason Garrett too. Jerry likes yes men, guys that wont tell him the truth and just basically tell him what he wants to hear.
  13. yep. Even Earl Thomas redshirted. Don't recall what Stearns or Jones did, but as I recall Brandon Jones did not start until SO year.
  14. Tucker went to UT Austin.
  15. Dad was a United States Secret Service agent and was on protective duty for the last year of Ford and 1st year of Carter. We had moved from Los Angeles to DC for the protective duty assignment but his Dad (my granddad) died and then his brother died in a matter of 6 mos, so we packed up the Chevy Station wagon and drove from DC back to Southern CA. It changed our lives as he was on a track to maybe one day run the whole damn agency...he was very well thought of from what his buddies have told me over the years. Anyway he became Special Agent in Charge of Dallas field office in the 80's and thus started my conversion from CA surfer kid to Texan. One story that has always stuck with me. Most summer Saturdays, he would drive me and my 2 brothers plus our 3 cousins to Huntington Beach to boogie board. Rules were, we couldn't set foot in the ocean until he got back from his run. He'd bang out 8 miles in an hour. The 6 of us would be lined up on the edge of water sitting on our boards, leashed up. Once we would catch sight of him on the horizon, we would all get so pumped, ready for a day of catching waves. He would get back, strip to his 70's era running shorts , take a dip, pop open a Lowenbrau (or 10) and put on Vin Scully, if the Dodgers were playing, Chick Hearn ( he called him Chicky Baby) if the Lakers were....or Johnny Cash if not. He was a legend. My cousins called him "Big JIm".
  16. Terminal B at IAD is as good as any. Super high ceilings, very wide concourse, modern feel. Plenty of room and seating and the gates are not right on top of each other. When you take the moon rover to whatever Terminal that is.....IAD goes way down hill and feels third world. Flew out of there last week after my Delta (terminal B) flight to Atlanta cancelled and i was able to get out on a United flight out of moon rover-ville....huge drop off from one Terminal to the other.
  17. Yeah good catch…that’s right he sat that one out b/c he shit the bed so bad and got Ced hurt in the b12 CC Game.
  18. Among the many issues i have with them is having to leave your bag at the door... then wait an agonizing amount of time for the handlers to retrieve them. Often times the jet bridge is too hot or too cold, crowded with wheel chairs, crew changes , gate agents yelling to line up on the right...then compound with all the novice travelers standing around, having no clue what is going on waiting for their checked bags thinking they are one of the pink tag people...completely inefficient and maddening especially if you have a close connect..Absolute shit show.
  19. Vince and Colt are the clear #1 and #2. Street has to be up there, but well before my time. People forget how athletic Colt was, very fast and his ability to avoid the rush and throw off schedule was superb. Tough as nails too. No one can compete with VY, but Colt was the closest. 2006 at Tech down 0-21, comeback win his RS Freshman year....and people forget the Crabtree game we were down 6-22 at half at Tech and came all the way back to take the lead. He was amazing. I appreciated Major more than most. The dude never flinched and always got us in the right play under duress. His win with Ricky at Neb to break the longest home winning streak is a much watch for the young Surlers. He took a shot to the head buying time for his WR to come somewhat open and throw the longest 5 yard TD known to man all the while getting targeted. He led the comeback in Dallas vs CU after Simms shit the bed and if not for a Gieggar roughing the punter under 2 minutes, we would have played for a natty. He led the big comeback vs UW in San Diego also after Simms shit the bed in that one too. Simms was a stat monster and had some enormous games but always seemed like he was a pick 6 machine.
  20. From what i recall his mom worked for Delta...HQ in Atlanta
  21. I watched the game last night and thought our boys played well enough to get the W, but alas, winning on the road is tough. Ive seen enough of this season to say he can coach his way to another season. Tough league for sure, last night was winnable. If he makes the tournament and wins a game he'll get another year no questions asked. If we go on a bad run and miss out on tournament, he's gone imo.
  22. Edey fouled 1x in his college career and had less than 2 (1.9) per game as a senior. In the NBA, he fouled out of his first game in just 14 minutes of game action. HAHA Fouling has been a big problem for Edey in the NBA. After averaging just one foul per 16.4 minutes of playing time during his senior year at Purdue, he's picking one up every 4.9 minutes in the NBA. His 7.4 fouls per 36 minutes is by far the highest on the team and making it difficult to play him for long stretches.
