Bob Lives!

And modern medicine.

I just saw him and I’m able to give a little bit of an update. He has really turned a corner since the last couple times I’ve seen him. He was completely, cognitively incapacitated when I last saw him. Today, we had an actual conversation. That was really great because previously, I was honestly not sure if he was going to live or die. It seems pretty clear now that he is going to survive this, but he still has a very long road ahead. While we are all enjoying the holidays with our families, he will still be in a hospital bed suffering.

Glad to hear ROFL BOX has a gofundme. I've gotten permission to post the link: Link He will need this. His situation is very serious. I still can't share specific info about ROFL BOX. But again, in separate and wholly unrelated matters, airbag deployment can send shrapnel into your body. Obviously that can be deadly due to trauma. Alternatively, it can also cause deep, small wounds which develop infection that turn septic. Sepsis can impair a person neurologically, require amputations....and cause death. Also, if you're driving anything older than 15 years and your vehicle is subject to this risk, you're operating at your own risk. Manufacturers in TX are protected by a "statute of repose" which requires you to bring suit against them for defects within 15 years of the date the product is sold. So if you're driving around in anything older than 15 years and it has a defect that eventually hurts or kills you, you won't be able to go after the manufacturer. You can still put it on the driver who caused the wreck that triggered the airbag deployment, but then you better hope they have insurance, and lots of it, or that you have underinsured motorists insurance coverage to make up the difference if they don't.

I really can't disclose anymore than that. Maybe someone here is a friend of his family's and can reach out to get and disclose more details, if the family is okay with it. It just can't be me. And don't DM me. I won't disclose any details there either. All I can say is that he is not in great health atm and if the power of prayer works to bring healing and strength, he really could use it right now. I'm sure he would appreciate the support of what he calls the "Shag Squared" community. Please pray for him to bounce back. 🙏 <intentionally long space b/t paragraphs> In separate and wholly unrelated matters, if you're ever in some kind of car wreck or other accident, resist the urge to get on here and start posting pictures and telling everyone you're okay. You really don't know yet. Maybe you're right. You probably are, but sometimes it takes a bit to figure out. Take your time. Certainly talk to your doctors. Make medical care a top priority. Don't "tough it out." You may think you're just fine, but days later you might find yourself on death's doorstep. Talk to a lawyer that's actually qualified in personal injury and follow their advice too. Posting about your accident on social media can wait until much later.

Can someone give us the locations of gameday and big noon kick off in Ann Arbor this weekend?

And Elko found a DC:

Found Beau. [emoji3516]

That’d be awesome for him. His career has going well, apparently. Blake is former UT center Beau Baker’s lil bro. Beau’s a good dude and probably a poster, or at least a lurker, on this site.

What are the chances we get Broughton and Collins both back?

I liked the Owls and Trevor Cobb. I was on the field in ‘94 tearing down the goal posts, celebrating the win over Texas. That was a few years before my freshman year at Texas. [emoji869]

Ah. Well, it was just retweeted by Barstool Longhorn today. Thus my confusion.

Anyone know what he was responding to?

Wise better be looking at PWO status.

We might be hoping for Florida to take out FSU, depending on how crowded it ends up at the top.

Is TX/OU a ‘25 event b/c it’s bag weekend in B/CS for ‘24? RMFTR.

Appears there is some sort of competition underway:

Headed to Park City tomorrow for some powder chasing. Hopefully the storm holds together. I need to get some serious vertical feet in.

The damage estimate for my stolen, joyrided M5 was >$100k. So totaled, obviously. Just ordered another in the same spec. May be June before I get it.

PM’d

TJ Shanahan sucks, and I say that as a Westlake wonk.

Lesson learned. Never leave an extra key fob inside your car. This bad boy got stolen last night from the hotel we were staying at due to the power outage. Long boring story about why the extra fob was in there, related to power outage. Car burglars smashed window on another car too, but I guess when they found my key they went for a joy ride. I found it the next morning off Riverside using a tracker. Car destroyed. [emoji20]

We all would for $160M.

I can watch HS basketball on cable but not this? Fuck the sorry ass Big 12.

Any relation b/t Gary and Antonio?

If the contract was for more than one year of service, it would’ve had to be in writing. #StatuteOfFrauds
