    Dear god. In our block of 14 seats 4 were used tonight. That was two teams mailing it in for the first 60 minutes. The last 30 people decided to play. Does this mean we get them in first round guaranteed?
  2. Our kids attend one of the DL schools that will be closing. Assuming the admin from our school and teachers go to the merged school, most parents plan to follow. I still think our family will be moving sooner rather than later. We may end up in an acceptable situation next year but the long term outlook is just terrible with the funding situation. My mom always said a society that fails to prioritize its children will fail. I’m sad and frustrated my home is now one of them.
  3. Fucking little league games were miserable today. And not just because the kids couldn’t throw a strike to save their lives.
  4. We are going from being in the vertical for Austin high to Crockett in all 3 of the proposed maps. Welp, nice knowing you Austin.
  5. Dude the looting has been going on for years. Just look at the recapture numbers. This is just scraping the bones.
  6. Our neighborhood in the southwest is also getting fucked. If this goes down this way, I would expect the number of kids enrolled AISD to drop even below what was discussed above. I think we have to leave as the quality of our kids education will drop in a big way. I guess we will see what else they spring on us with transfers et al.
  7. Rumors are flying. Our school is supposedly closing completely, which would make no sense from the rubric and rankings they released last month. So I totally expect it to happen.
  8. Ain’t nobody downplaying shit. APD was inept long before him, and will be long after him. He’s somehow shittier than rosemary.
  9. I mean, there is an above zero chance one of these should be eradicated viruses eventually mutates into something really nasty. Then that footnote becomes a chapter in the next version.
  10. Damn. Didn’t recognize him. Dudes put on some weight.
  11. Seems like quality is down as well, at least where we shop.
  12. I thought he would be one of those guys that comes back and plays to the same level. Crazy to rush him considering how good of a player he was and what the stakes are for City if he doesn’t recover.
  13. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/health/measles-austin-wastewater/269-2e719ef9-82d2-496c-928f-e24c1342a9c2 Just in time for school in 3 weeks!
  14. Gold is the best Pilsner made in the Austin area. Change my mind.
  15. I am skeptical of the “you guys don’t know anything about this”. Smells like bullshit to keep them from prosecution/civil suit.

    I’m not sure why we insist on playing 1 central striker in a variety of the 433. Our personnel would at least warrant giving a 442 a runout. Soccer coaches are worse than NFL about all doing the same shit though.
  17. On a serious note, one of the things kicked around during Covid was lower insurance premiums or bills for those that were vaccinated but still got sick enough to require significant care or hospitalization. I could see something like that happening.
  18. I mean, not initially, but I’m pretty sure they’ll figure it out.
  19. In the meantime I’m sure insurance will charge us all for shit that used to be covered, because it’s no longer recommended by the cdc. Yay.
  20. Seems like a lot of bitchassedness all the way around. Which reflects my general feeling on the team, they could use a bit more gumption.

    All the guys I share tickets with are out for next season. Guess I’ll just be selling a bunch of tickets when we can’t make it.
  22. Serious question: china can’t mount a serious air attack? I don’t claim to be an expert but I thought between missiles and aircraft they’d be at least as capable as the Russians? Especially at this point with Russian losses?

    Neither of our center backs has any passing range. Asking them to hit a long diagonal is just not in their toolkit. We also really miss when Dani can’t advance the ball with his feet. RSL was happy to let our dual 6 midfield have the ball because neither of those guys were able to get the ball into the attacking third with any consistency. Owen had some interplay with Bukari at times but frankly the movement from the front 3 sucks. No one knows what the plan is to create offense and it shows.
  24. You’re not the only one. That’s crazy that DAZN has the rights in the states. They’re popular enough in Europe, but I’ll have to Google what providers even carry them here.
