    Yes.. Just ask for crackers and butter. Throw the chips away. two cents. Personally, I love El Patio.. been going since I was a freshman. Now the owners know my kids. Brings me back. Not the best but still. That's why I still frequent Texadelphia (when I can find one in Austin) and wish GM's was still open or Mad Dogs.. Get off my lawn.
  4. Regarding November and farmer roller coaster -

  6. My favorite part of the Herman press discussion. Sometimes I miss Charlie.. if just for the pressers.
  7. I’m too old for the long road - but - I’ve seen a heisman winner and a national championship.
  8. I have no facts other than I don’t see the team quitting. They just seem to fight every game (except Okie state and Maryland).... ok.... now I’m back in the dumps. I just never expected to win much this year much less beat OU. Maybe my expectations are too low after all the beatings.
  9. Absolutely nothing. He was asked a question. Said two words and just stared at the camera. Looked pissed to me that he has to be out there and in the performance.
  10. I agree. Can you survive in this conference in a base 4-3? I don’t see how.
  11. I’m as disappointed as the next alum but watching the Herman press conference I believe we are on a better path then we’ve been in sometime. Man Charles Omenihu is pissed on LHN. Good.
  12. You got that right. How glorious. Stupid farmers.
  13. Is she tenderizing that thing? That’s some good eaten. Or so my Arkansas kin say.
  14. That’s actually closer to the truth. He’s really tall..... and blind.
  15. Forgot the best one... at least for me. Talked to George Jones after a concert he had here at Riverbend Church. I don’t really remember what I said. I was dumbstruck. Ran into Ronny Milsap on campus as he was going to film Austin City Limits.
  16. As a toddler ran naked out of the bathroom into Bob Hope at Honolulu airport. Dad was flying in for R&R during first tour in Vietnam. Gave a ride to Matt “guitar” Murphy from old Austin airport to Antones on the drag. Had dinner with him before his set. He was really cool. Attempted to talk Kim Basinger to skip out on filming for the day and hang. She was in town filming Nadine and was just walking down the street in Hyde Park. She’s tiny. Hot. Talked to Earl while waiting in line early one morning for tickets to a game. He was an advisor in the athletic dept at that time. Rode an elevator with Owen Wilson at the Four Seasons. Meet Dennis Quad numerous times. He owned the property next to my FIL on Lake Austin. Was always over at their house. Meet Jimmy Vaughn. He’s a classic car guy and he liked my FIL’s 40 Ford Coupe (think American Graffiti) so he and my FIL would hang out and talk cars at the house. Literally ran into Bill Gates in Vegas at one of those big tech conventions. He and Balmer. They both looked like they Hadn’t bathed in weeks. Stood in line next to Tommy Shaw catching a flight to Hartford.
  17. That and there is no sausage - Was in Wilmington, NC and asked for a sausage and brisket plate.. no sausage wft.
  18. This - I always thought we would align w/ the Big Ten - Right up the middle of country - Texas, Tech (I guess), Kansas, K State, Oklahoma, OK State, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Northwestern.. all the others. Fits academically, etc...
  19. That or a survivor of the Bataan Death March..
  20. 247 has him in the calc. UT #6 .. 91.38 avg. Stupid farmers. 91.09
  21. So you're saying there's no chance?
  22. Shawshank .. the answer to most movie questions. That and Fandango.
