  1. If its taking into account that Ewers will be out 4-6 weeks, probably a fair ranking.
  2. Was at the game last night and don't have LHN to record it. Like to review the game and see what I missed when some asshole decides to go get a beer on a third down play and block my view. Any replays available?
  3. I got a Biobidet USPA 6800U 3 years ago. Changed my life. I managed to put a hole in the seat last month when I accidentally slammed the lid after a bout with a nasty stomach bug. Fearing that an errant urine stream could get through the hole and fry the insides, I decided to replace it. I ordered a Biobidet BB 2000, this baby is supposed to be the Rolls Royce of bidets. Last time I was this excited was when I got on the plane to LA in 2006 to go to the National Championship. I fucking love bidets.
  4. LOL, I am far from a new poster. I date back to the mid 90s on Hornfans and Longhorn fan zone, just rarely post. I knew that was coming and I do know the rules.. They are of the male variety. And both have girlfriends you definitely would want pictures of.
  5. To you Mr. Duke, the rest of Surly, and the citizens of the great state of Texas, thanks for helping me fund the education of my twins.
  6. As someone who just graduated twins from the University of Texas at Austin, facts like this prevent me from ever complaining about the price of sending 2 kids there at the same time.
  7. aggy actually thinking they have a voice in the SEC and that anyone will take their complaints seriously. Especially when the entire membership of the SEC probably agrees with Saban's opinion. That's adorable.
  8. I hate all sequels, except The Godfather 2. I went into this with very low expectations, really only saw it cuz the kids begged me to take them and I loved the first one enough to give this a shot. Plot holes were huge, the laws of physics were changed to guidelines, and Goose Jr. would be close to 40 in this timeline... but it was fucking great. I'm seeing it again Saturday since my wife didn't join us when I saw it the first time. I insisted she see it and I had no problem going to see it again.
  9. My dads been gone since 1985. He was a senior that year, I remember him saying that it was one of the most fun games he ever attended. He was on the sidelines reporting on the game for the Daily Texan. He said that after the game there were corps members crying in the stands. He would often say that scene was one of his fondest memories. Started his Master's program at UT the following year and dropped out 3 days after Pearl Harbor to enlist. CSB.
  10. I first tried a bidet at the Park Hyatt Hotel in NYC, late 2018. I knew I had to have one someday. Summer of 2019, I'm in Jerusalem, Israel, the holiest city in the world. I get woken up at 2am by a Woot notification that the Biobidet 6800U was on sale for a serious discount. The location and the time of day, I was convinced It had to be a message from a higher power. I bought it. It was on my doorstep the day after we got back. My wife never fully appreciated the awesomeness of her husband's decision to buy it. When she prepped for her colonoscopy on Sunday, she finally understood.
  11. Let me explain this to you. My post was a criticism of all the shitty things about the game and how I'd be crazy to ever go back there again, yet I'll keep going till the day I die. So, your reply doesn't really work because I do plan on going back. Is there anything else I can clarify for you? I'll be more than happy to.
  12. Been going since 1981. Went yesterday with my wife. My twins who I've been taking since they were 10 are seniors and sat 3 sections over from us in the student section. With them graduating in May I'm wondering if it's time for this tradition to end for me. For the last 25 years I've said I'm tired of dealing with 6 hour drives in traffic jams to get to Dallas, the nightmare of getting to the stadium by car or the shitshow DART manages every year. Sick of leaving dehydrated and sunburned. Fed up with losing to those inbreds half the time. I'm too old to put up with pissing in a trough, backbreaking seats, and the craziness of getting in and out of the stadium. It's a no-brainer, I can watch it on my 65 inch TV at home, in AC, with no bathroom lines, and not spend the shit-ton of money like I do every year. Yeah, it's a no-brainer, but I guess I don't have a fucking brain cuz I'll probably go again next year and every following year till I'm pushing up daisies.
  13. Lincoln Riley never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
  14. When Lincoln Riley has to pee at a party at a friend's house, he leaves the bathroom door open.
  15. My dad graduated from UT in 1941. Was in his first semester of his master's when Pearl Harbor was attacked, he resigned his position as editor of the Daily Texas and enlisted. After the war he settled in NYC to do a Madison Ave advertising gig. Years later I came along. I had been to the campus a few times visiting from NY and loved it, but had no interest in football whatsoever. When I graduated high school, I had never been to a high school, college, or pro game. Transferred to UT after doing 2 years in a shitty upstate NY school. First day in Austin in 1981, potluck roommate from the metroplex asks me if I'm going to the game on Saturday. I tell him I wasn't planning to. He said "you don't come to UT and not go to football games." He took my ID and put it in with his group and drew for tickets. I didn't argue with him, figured I should check out the craziness at least once. Come Saturday, I could not believe all the tailgating and pre-game stuff. I entered the stadium and was blown away by all the colors, pageantry, traditions, the band, everything. It was love at first site. Went to pretty much every home game and quite a few ou games during my student days. Went to the Cotton Bowl where we lost to Georgia and missed a shot at the NC. Fast forward to 2006. Best game I had ever been to up to that time was the Michigan Rose Bowl. 1 year and 4 days later I went to an even better one. I've had season tickets for 25 years. Tomorrow I'll go to the game and meet my 3rd generation senior Longhorn twins sitting in the student section for drinks afterwards.
  16. In early 1999, my wife and I found out she was pregnant with twins. We were shopping at Rooster's store and saw a t-shirt that said "Longhorn Under Construction." We took it to the counter to buy it and mentioned that we loved the shirt but it wasn't quite accurate since we had 2 babies in there. Sales clerk said to hang on a second while they went to the back. Apparently Rooster told them to iron-on an "S" after "Longhorn" free of charge. Must have worked, both kids graduate in May. Thanks Rooster, RIP in the great alumni center in the sky.
  17. Last year for their 21st birthday, I got Vince to do a happy birthday video on the cameo website for my twins who were then juniors (now seniors) at UT. I think there may be a way to contact him on there.
  18. Exactly. Seriously, is there any other way to interpret this? Isn't he basically saying that aggy is too dumb and culturally inferior to the PAC 12 and Texas fits in? Just an unbelievably stupid (but true) comment for him to make.
  19. Thanks for the PSA. You should really try the P365. I read the reviews and tried one out. It instantly became my carry weapon. Soon as my kids all got LTCs, each of them got one as well.
  20. "Bill Powers was very clear to me that they felt much more akin to the schools in the Big Ten and on the West Coast. He was very dismissive of the SEC because he felt academically it was an inferior conference. He's no longer around, I understand that. But the fit, culturally, of A&M and the SEC is very good. The fit of Texas is not. That's just plain and simple." This has to be the dumbest statement he could have made.
  21. Brat, any updates on this? Had a chance to try it out? Reliable?
  22. 7.5 years on again and off again (not always voluntary) but I managed to squeak out a BA degree at the 40 acres. My father graduated with honors and my twins are presently honor students at UT going into their senior year. I often wonder if I should get some genetic testing done.
  23. I saw the Cars, Rush, Bowie around that time in other venues. Rush and Bowie were 2 of the best I've ever seen. As someone said earlier, the Cars were a terrible live band. Only saw Petty on the tour before he died, even if he was slightly better in his prime that may have been 1 of the 2.
  24. Going down from the west side upper deck you can take the ramps, never tried going up. Over the past 20 years at least 2 or 3 times I've seen the people hired to maintain crowd control get careless and allow too many people to enter one of the escalators going down. A bottle neck formed at the entrance to the next escalator and people started to fill up the landing, with people having no where to go when stepping off the previous one. Good times and CSB.
  25. That's kind of what I figured. Are your seats always in the shade? If not, what time do they usually get out from under the sun?
