927 E. 41st

All I can assume is that you haven't been paying attention to the transfer portal, or that you are blinded by love of your school. Lots of kids moving around and each of them think they are moving to a better situation.

It did sleet that day, and it has been recorded with high surface temperatures (not totally unlike hail on 100 degree day). The temps at 3000 and 6000 feet are a factor, the surface temp is almost irrelevant. Yes, it can also sleet on some parts of the stadium and not others.

I ask each of you to join me by going to Change.org and sign the "re-hire Cale Gundy" petition. The more distracted they are during practice, the better it's going to be come football season. Let's give them the gift of a wasted day or two dealing with this crap. Remember, "When your enemy is in the middle of making a mistake, don't interrupt them", and perhaps in this case they need just a little added fuel on the fire.

So somebody like this guy?

You are oh so right! I think I mentioned this previously, but there is a package of ear plugs and card in each room. The card has a 1930's era picture of "students" on a train. Paraphrasing the card, it is something like "don't be upset when you are awakened (blasted out of bed) by the train's horn" (in the middle of the night). "Think of all the students down over the years, returning to their studies at A&M. I couldn't help but point out to my daughter that the picture was NOT of A&M students returning to B/CS. Daughter-"How do you know that dad?" Me-"Well, it's a black and white photo from the 1930's no A/C, open window train car with men and women students!, That didn't happen here". I tried to stay out of it and let her make upper own mind, but I also couldn't help myself when the tour guide very proudly pointed out "A&M has the #2 ranked Petroleum Engineering program in the entire world!" I leaned over to my daughter and said "Gee, I wonder who is #1?"

The train track runs right by the stadium and you can hear it over their whole campus. Their hotel sits about 60 yards from the track and is poorly insulated. I did a post a couple of years ago about taking a daughter on a campus tour and staying in their hotel. I am grateful everyday that she didn't want to go there.

Was to forced think of this thread and you glorious bastards while sitting in traffic today. I pull up behind a car at a red light, I looked at the car and instantly wondered what kind of idiot puts a sticker blocking the center high mounted stop light. Now you already know where this is headed so I'll just let you enjoy.

Oh no, it wasn't almost, there was honest to God sleet and that wasn't the most miserable thing about it.

Careful what you wish for, it's rare but I have been begging for a warm bitter ray of sunshine and it's associated warmth while watching this game.

Olds like me.

You can get all the way up under the deck if you desire, but the columns that support the upper deck are around row 49-51. As others have stated, they are less of a problem if you are way up. Section 8 about row 33 is in the sun for approximately half the game if it's an 11:00 kick. Slightly lower rows get shade earlier as you move toward 9-10, but as you turn the corner to the end zone you might not get shade at all (again with the 11:00 kick). It has been pretty hot and sunny the last couple of years, but I think I've experienced every type of weather/ precip while sitting in that stadium. Just as I have experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows! You never know, I've been lucky enough to be down close for the Richard Peavy hit on Marcus Dupree (youngsters might need to look it up, but as close as I was it sounded like a minor car wreck). And I though I had pretty bad seats one year, but was about 35 rows up on the goal line with a beautiful view of the Stonie Clark goaline stop. So you never know, sometimes the game makes the seat great!

All good.

Sorry, I guess it came off that way. I've been fighting off Covid and was mostly trying to get across that it was quick and (relatively) pain free.

It was fairly pain free, I found 6 in a row high enough up to be out of the sun fairly early. Pretty easy and fast.

I don't mind picking seats, but they have me down for Monday at 3:25. Take a guess what time my daughter is passing through town.

Of course the offer HAD to be $69,000.

I think you would find that a bad idea. Certainly excessive speed/wreck/smell of alcohol, slurring speech etc. should and appears was used as probable cause. But giving your rights away is dangerous territory. Had a friend get pulled over in an entrapment situation. He was eventually able to prove he wasn't DWI, but the time and expense was eye watering (and the state doesn't care about expense while the DA just wants a high conviction rate. As long as this DA thought there was any chance of salvaging his "win" he was willing to ignore a lot of evidence that my friend was innocent). An extra level to my friends nightmare was that if he lost, he was basically unemployable in his chosen field. Those that will lose a security clearance or the like face extreme extra punishment. It's frustrating to watch the Ruggs situation as this guy has destroyed innocent life, ruined his life and caused horrible grief to many others. But it will play out, and he will not avoid punishment.

So about 5 days after the guy says Hook 'em to me in Rome, I'm 4000 miles from there on Hwy 84 between Hewitt and McGregor. Stop in at the gas station/ convenience store on the North side of the road next to the McGregor airport. I should have taken a picture, but apparently Coke products are undergoing a re-packaging and according to the big poster in the window they are calling it... "SIP SIZES". Yes I chuckled again thinking of the 7-11's in B/CS probably refusing to put up the ad campaign in their stores.

And chuckle you should. I had some time off from work in Rome on Thursday, so I decided to walk around and see the sites. (If you can get to Rome, go, it's truly a magnificent city). I ended up walking 8 miles, and decide to head back to my hotel. Using the iPhone to guide me back, it routes me down a narrow road with almost no one around. There is only one other guy on this narrow road/ally. and as we pass in opposite directions, he looks at my cap and says "Hook 'em!", I return the greeting and had a good chuckle myself.

When I moved to the Dallas area in the early 90's the joke was that the Cowboys would go 10-6 this year, 10 arrests and 6 convictions.

You're one of the few on here that does, or can even tolerate a view point slightly different then their own, but this appears to be the nature of most of the internet echo chambers. I would point out that when you pull out the broad brush (all those evil white guys, all those evil black guys or whoever). You are no more accurate than some really bad players in history. Pol Pot had a thing for people with glasses. It would be nice if you could spot evil by looking at someone or even a group, but it's been tried.

Things will change but very slowly (generations). Not really sure what you're on about with white guys, It seems to me there are plenty of bad guys and good guys of every race.

I think you are focusing on the wrong thing. If you are voting for someone for any reason other than their abilities and position on issues you are doing yourself and everyone else a disservice. Not the color of their skin but the content of their character.

Twice.

We all live and die with our choices, but damn what a sad waste of talent.
