  1. Nice! Who knew we had some DCI alums here. Cavs 91 and Phantom 93 are two of my all-time favorite old-school shows. I really wanted to do DCI (even switched to baritone from trombone in band for a year to get used to it), but couldn't swing it financially - it was either spend a few grand I didn't have to go do that, or earn a few grand I really needed working all summer. Kinda regret not doing it.
  2. SIAP - I scrolled back a few pages and searched and didn't see this. Crazy story if true. aggy grad says he accidentally ended up in the corps, and then the band, and somehow faked his way through four years without ever actually playing an instrument. https://www.lonestarlive.com/life/2024/12/texas-am-alumnus-accidentally-joins-band-says-they-pretended-to-play-for-4-years.html

    Dated a girl from Jacksboro. This is correct. (Dairyland is pretty solid, too.)
  4. No. This fall has been nuts and frankly didn’t think about it. Wasn’t a choice based on any kind of moral stance.
  5. I tested positive for Covid on Monday. It’s knocked me on my butt - I rarely get sick, and this is the sickest I’ve been in years. Started Paxlovid this am and had enough energy this evening to walk the dog around the block - and it wore me out. It’s only been two days of sleeping on an air mattress in the home office to stay away from the family, and I’m starting to go stir crazy.
  6. Northeastern New Mexico for me. Same beautiful vistas and outdoor activities as CO, but the roads all suck so the bad guys can't get to you.
  7. He was likely to get canned by UCF if he didn’t leave on his own. Preemptive move.
  8. 1. LBJ was definitely flawed. 2. Do not ever, ever compare LBJ to Gaetz again. LBJ actually accomplished things and seemed to care about the well-being of the country.
  9. That's fair. My kid will be a poli sci major and plans to do band, so he'll likely find his people pretty quickly.
  10. When we toured there they said it was only 30% of student body involved in Greek life, which is about double UT but lower than some other schools we visited (like TCU).
  11. Translation: “There is a zero percent chance a liberal woman is a GC or anything remotely with construction” Let’s not pretend about what is really being said here.
  12. Hadn't seen this posted. Residents in those apartments are lucky it stopped where it did. https://www.kut.org/transportation/2024-10-22/austin-tx-train-derailment-traffic-disruptions
  13. Question for parents of college kids (or Surlyites who work in admissions): Many of the schools that are a bit less rigorous overall have an "honors college" that is much more selective and has specific classes that are touted as more challenging/engaging. Anyone here have experience with those? Are they worth it/as advertised?
