  1. Goodell is a bloodless attorney. I suspect his emails are spotless.
  2. I think there a lot of alumni who don't realize just how much more expensive renting in Austin has become since they graduated.
  3. True. But you still could have phony classes, tutoring scandals, workout time restrictions, whatever.
  4. It may be hard for any Irate 8 to make a big coaching change. They don't know what to expect in revenue post 2025, 2020 burned a hole in their pockets, and you got to pay the market for a new guy.
  5. My daughter is apparently destined to be a thin blonde with good cheek bones. But yeah, if I had a college bound uggo I'd worry about their prospects for relationship happiness.
  6. If I were Jimbo I'd go 100% clean. The only thing between him and his money is the threat of real or phony NCAA violations. Don't get boxed up like the Vols did.
  7. 78759. Raining so hard for past half hour it's sorr od making a swooshing sound.
  8. My kids 4th grade class had its 2nd case of the year. Teacher has a 16 month old who is watched by his in-laws. And.... he quit. So that's fun. Thanks 2 parents who refuse to mask!
  9. Aggies might well win, but TexAgs is still a fine delight this afternoon.
  10. It is weird. Buuuut... I like having only a few calibers. The 7.62 soviet is not bad. It can be a ethical white tail hunting cartridge, you can get it subsonic (though hard to find, admittedly), it once was cheap. I have that mini, so they share mags. Is it really practical? Eh, if that was the true test I'd sell half or more of my stuff! I've got a ~1000 of nice Fiocchi brass 7.62, some golden bear, 2 or 3 spam cans, and some misc tul or herter steel. If I stumbled on a cz527 with irons, I'd snap that up. Maybe a baikal single shot. With a ruger american I can basically make a cooper-style scout rifle. Seems fun.
  11. It's going to be approved in a couple months anyway. Seems like any competent doc could do 1/3 of an adult dose- exactly what they do in trials. Moreover, what is the risk of myocarditis from getting covid? For just the flu it's > 1%.
  12. So I am to believe there is not one damn pediatrician within 100 miles of Austin who has access to pfizer vaccine, willing to tell the APA to piss off, and take my $500 cash for a age 5-11 vax? There are docs out there prescribing bullshit ivermectin scripts, pain pill mills, and all manners of fraud. And not one doc is willing to give a shot that, apparently, has like zero risk?
  13. BYU, UCF, Cini, and UH are just so excited to join the Hateful 8. It's adorable. I wish them luck.
  14. I think I had mentioned I wanted a bolt gun in 7.62x39. Several times I've tried to order from Academy (ship to store) and it would always dump at the last minute for no inventory. And then today it just... went through. Edit: dammit, it got canceled. Grrr.
  15. Sure. This was probably mid 2000s, before we had kids. Flew into to Great Falls. Rented canoe, fire pan, water, toilet system, cooler, etc. See mroutfitters.com for prices. Website seems to have hardly changed in 15 years, lol. I think we brought our own tent, sleeping bags, and our jetboil and cooking stuff. I think the outfitter (out of Fort Benton) picked us up from the Great Falls hotel. Rented a badass kevlar canoe, cut through water like butter. The full length is 149 miles, but you can do chunks. Fort Benton - Coal Banks, 42 miles Coal Banks - Judith Landing aka “White Cliffs”, 46 miles Judith Landing to James Kipp Recreation Area aka “Badlands or Breaks”, 61 miles Check for the free online BLM guides. I think we did Coal Banks to Judith Landing, 5 or 6 nights. Van picked us up and returned to hotel in Great Falls. We smelled like hell. You pass (and can check out) some old cabins and historic Lewis and Clark campgrounds. We saw one person in 6 days (John boat going upstream), but lots of cows and cowshit. Daytime weather was hot, and one storm blew our poor tent nearly flat. Thought we'd lose a pole. Saw bald eagles and bighorn sheep. Back in Great Falls we rented a car and did Glacier and Waterton National Parks. Worth it. Altogether it was a killer 2 week vacation. All in all about the easiest wilderness there is. Some current, but a class 0 throughout, maybe a couple laughably easy riffles the guide book warns about. Make no mistake, its high desert. Biggest risk would probably heat stroke or rattle snake. If I were to recommend the most perfect canoe trip without budget or time constraint, do the Yukon or a tributary. Cooler weather, also awesome history, but evil mosquitoes.
  16. I vaguely recall a couple articles a few years ago about a flag football offense. I think it involved always looking to pitch after a forward pass. Id like to see someone attempt that. https://www.footballstudyhall.com/2015/8/18/9166647/no-punting-and-now-bringing-rugby-to-football-an-interview-with-coach
  17. Think next summer there will still be a shortage? I want to do Pacific NW national park tour, but that kind of thing can get expensive. My budget is often something like: Rental car, plane tickets, hotels: pick 2.
  18. SDSU gets at the heart of conference issues. For football, coast to coast may be fine. But for non-reve sports a little geographic rationality is called for.
  19. Is it Total Recall that has the listing of fligjt times with one blinking HIJAX red? Soccer match, listed as COUP. Some real shit.
  20. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Sciatic. Arse hot poker, except sometimes it's lower calf, or a rictus of blue balls. Steroids, please please work. Can't sleep, but sitting all days itself is pain. To the church of codeine, I pledge my soul.
  21. @High Plains Drifter To echo HiggyBaby: So CVS and whatnot really would like to book insurance, get you in the system and all that jazz. But the vax clinics run by public health organizations just want shots in arms. They aren't planning on billing insurance, and don't have much interest pushing other services later. CVS gave me the runaround with my daughter, even demanding some proof of her age (which I don't think they can even do, but I get it: she didn't even get pierced ears until after shot #1), whereas the local public health authority amd their overwhelmed staff treated us with nice bureaucratic indifference and lack of further inquiry.
  22. Listen to Peter, people! You think a pineapple parrot is a good friend for a crow? You fucking moron.
