  1. Shakey's was on the north side of Westheimer, just east of Hillcroft/Voss. Near where "Club No Minor" is. Antonio's was just south of Westheimer on Hillcroft. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.
  2. True. The loudest noise was always the squeak that Karl Willock's shoes would make when he would pull up just past midcourt to set the offense. I swear I saw him pull up on a three-on-one fast-break because Kaiser Bob was screaming at him to '"set up! set up!"
  3. At least Charlie never had so many players quit that he had to pull a cheerleader off the sidelines to suit up. The good news was that you could go to a basketball game and literally sit anywhere you wanted to. Those were the days.
  4. Interesting. Someone should have told the punt returner, Jitter Fields, who was standing about 20 yards behind Curry.
  5. I thought they just did that for the Egg Bowl. Which is kind of cool. Hell, if we didn't already have more flair on our jerseys than a Chotskies' waitress I'd vote for a patch for Texas-ou every year. Golden Hat with "ou sucks" below it. Or, is that disrespectful to the rivalry? Need to call Urban.
  6. Yes, because listing a player as "probable" or "doubtful" is an egregious violation of federal law. But, Bilbo's the best.
  7. No shit. I was there. The clarification remains, he was not the punt returner.
  8. Craig Curry was not the punt returner. I believe that was Jitter Fields. Curry was the upback.
  9. They would get a ticker-tape parade.
  10. SIAP, Yankees To Use Piggyback Starters In Playoffs SEP 18, 2019 7:48 AM The New York Yankees have dealt with a short-staffed rotation due to injuries and Aaron Boone plans to use piggyback starters and his key relief pitchers in the postseason. "We're going to be a little untraditional," Boone said. "The only one we might use as a traditional starter is [James] Paxton." The piggybacking method falls in the same family as teams using an "opener" or "bullpenning." https://baseball.realgm.com/wiretap/50868/Yankees-To-Use-Piggyback-Starters-In-Playoffs
  11. I don't think Texas necessarily did either, which is why we've wandered forever between the winds
  12. Yes. He would immediately start signalling for a ground-rule double.
  13. Two words. Deloss Dodds. McWilliams' hire took little or no thought or effort on his part. He was also the man whose "nation wide coaching search" for McWilliams' replacement consisted of a plane ride to Champagne, Illinois. The same man who then flew off to hire Gary Barnett and had to be instructed that he was wasting his time there because the next head coach was meeting with the real decision-makers in Atlanta.
  14. Certainly assures that you're the smartest guy in the room.
  15. Briles was never considered. He lied and said he was to leverage more money out of Baylor. President Powers was doing Mack's bidding, that's correct; however, Powers didn't want there to be any mistake that the Tower was ultimately calling the shots insofar as the football program. He saw Saban as a threat to that scenario. So, it was a win-win for both. Thereafter Patterson ultimately went on a Dodds-esq "nationwide coaching search" and zeroed in on Strong without much consideration for anyone else- just as Deloss did with Mackovic.
  16. Trying to seize the moment. Shake things up.
  17. Damn. Swingers and Midnight Run. Good calls.
  18. Big, big props. I wanted it in my Top-Ten. But, in no particular order (I cheated and included my final cut)- 1. The Godfather 2. Fargo 3. Pulp Fiction Gone with the Wind The Searchers 4. Apocalypse Now 5. Empire of the Sun Life is Beautiful Saving Private Ryan 6. Blade Runner 7. Rushmore 8. The Big Lebowski Raising Arizona Blazing Saddles 9. Tender Mercies To Kill a Mockingbird 10. Boogie Nights
  19. Is it kid friendly?
  20. I don''t see Richard Peavy on the list and he single--handedly knocked Marcus Dupree out of college football. That's more than enough for me.
  21. Just the back?
  22. We did force Mack out for Strong. Mack did get Saban torpedoed, but he was done either right before or right after the event/convention the coaches attend in NYC at the end of the season. Strong was hired and Mack left town to kill it in Florida pout.
