  1. Or 504 like mine did. With 2 tickets in my cart.
  2. Welp at least we're all on the same playing field. I got to the Find Tickets page too. Then 504.
  3. And my waiting room is just loading now.... spinning wheel for a few minutes.... baby steps.
  4. I'm getting a server error. They seem very prepared for this.
  5. I saw this 2 nights ago. Always been fascinated with Hippie shit, 60s, Cali in the 60s, etc, so it was very interesting and I was thoroughly enjoying it until every single interruption for Jacob to play his renditions. After the first one I forwarded through all the remaining 17. You old shits are reminding me I should send it to my dad, he'd enjoy it. I assume Michelle Phillips is the Mama that smashed both the Papas? That non-apology she gave for cheating on her husband because "that's just how she was, and still is really" was pretty head-scratchingly hilarious.
  6. I didn't expect LaMarcus to look this bad to open the season. I know he's getting older, but at 6'11" and 32 mpg, he needs to be getting more than 6.1 rebounds per game. It's a career low and it's not even close. I'm surprised that he's shooting about his average in SA right now (51%), but if he's not going to hustle and work down low, then our ceiling is what we are right now. Middling 40-win team. The sooner we move on from DDR the better. And we need Dejounte to be cleared asap.
  7. Stopped at Pinkerton's yesterday afternoon and was satisfied. Brikset 8/10 - supremely tender but I'd have liked a biiiiit more kick with the rub/pepper. Ribs 9/10 - Both the dry and glazed/candy paint were phenomenal. Falling off the bone. I never hold the sides against a bbq spot, but I will give credit to them.... the mac & cheese was great.
  8. Just saw this today. I will be buying tickets Friday and walking to Erwin center from the East side in january. Can't wait. Heard great reviews from SA.
  9. Poaching? They must not be doing a very good job if they're finishing up 7-3 without any out-of-RGV games. I don't see why anybody would leave the Harlingen area when the Cardinals are there. And Vela can't be poaching much when there's team(s) in Weslaco, McAllen and Mission that are better than they are. Hopefully they make the trip down 83 to Harlingen and get sent packing though. As you can tell I got a dog in the fight. La Feria gotta play La Vernia 1st round. Wtf. And apparently Liberty Hill if they win. So much for getting rewarded for a 10-0 season with an easy matchup. They used to get rewarded with Zapata or Sinton.
  10. MOC can be tiring, but damn if he doesn't get the allure of old Austin. He gets it, and is the only person we have speaking up for it on a big stage outside of reddit/interwebz. I loved his few sentences on the city and "Keeping Austin, Austin". I followed the show on Twitter and saw more than a few people tweeting about wanting to visit Austin now, which kind of defeats the purpose of his rambling, but also argues against the "nobody outside of UT listens to his shtick" point. Good episode, I like having my knob polished on national television as an alumn, corny or not.
  11. It was incredibly absurd that the media didn't care to make them prove it. They're fucking Cleveland, I will NEVER give them the benefit of the doubt.
  12. Looks like I may have to suck it up and take the L, pussy. I'm a Diaz fanboy, but still really like Jorge (how can you not), but going in I thought the most likely scenario was Jorge lands big and ends it early, or he doesn't and Nate drags him into deep waters and sees if he can survive hell. Unfortunately Nate's face only allowed for half of that. It's all just sour grapes now, but even going into the 4th round, just that visual of Nate jogging on his feet while Jorge's face has changed from his 1st-round smirk to a blank stare like "wtf do I gotta hit this guy with" is tough to swallow. The 3rd round is when some ground game got involved, a bit of wrestling, a leg lock attempt, some clean 1-2s from Nate, etc. The fight was getting competitive.
  13. Agreed. He's calculated. This isn't for nothing. Also agreed that DDR can't be a black hole. He's had a couple games with 0 assists as well. He looked great for a spurt last night, but that's negated by his own shitty play with turnovers. Hoping LMA is just off on the jumpers, because if he has games like last night often, yeah he's on the decline big-time. If he can play at last year's level, he'll be fine, and we will too.
  14. The Search for Pitmaster Ramone, the Man Behind Subway’s Smoked Brisket Thought this belongs here.
  15. After taking the first couple games off, Derrick White is looking very fucking good. Looking forward to his start tonight (presumably) over DJ. Last night was tough, too many stupid turnovers and missed free throws. The basics. And a lot of those turnovers were unforced, I saw two travels (rocking the back foot) by Marco and Forbes, that stupid pass from DJ to Lonnie during the 2-on-1 fast break, 2 or 3 moving screens, just shitty/lazy play. IF we fix that, and at least equal them in the turnover department, LAC is not 6 points better than us. Also, fuck Belinelli is a terrible fit for this team. He just takes up space out there. Not sure on what type of team he'd fit, but any team outside of San Antonio would be great.
  16. Corn tortilla in a microwave is fine if you're lazy and don't care about them being optimal. I've done it when I don't feel like waiting. All tortillas should be on a pan/comal until they get some brown on them though. Some good suggestions above as far as flour being great for breakfast and corn being great for dinner tacos. I think fajitas taste best with flour though. And at least try to make some yourself, the difference between pretty much any store-bought flour tortillas and homemade ones will change your life. Even the pre-mixed stuff is great. You need the flour to leave your hand a little dusty as youre eating, it's a Texan experience.
  17. This season is going to be fun if the young guns continue to get their minutes up. DeMar and LaMarcus both choked under the pressure of Dame Time. Guess who didn't? Derrick White. While guarding Dame. Give it a couple weeks until the doctors clear Dejounte to play closer to 30 minutes a game. Then we'll see more of the DW/DJM lineup we've been wanting to.
  18. The only goals I have for these next few weeks is to see DJM and DW and Lonnie all get their minutes to slowly creep up. DJM has been really good, but playing the least amount of minutes of all the starters. Get him closer to 30 minutes a game, hopefully Derrick to 25 minutes/game, then there will be harder for Pop to keep them off the floor at the same time. Lonnie, we can only hope.... At least with Dejounte I understand working back from the injury, but if he can stay rested and forceful for 30+ MPG, imagine those stat lines we'll be seeing. I imagine shit like 25/10/8/4 stls.
  19. Not much but if you'd told me that we'd have to play a senior QB coming into the game with 12TDs/4ints with a secondary having injuries of various significance to Jones, Sterns, Green, Overshown, Foster, Brown and Thompson, my eyebrows might have raised.
  20. Light up the UT secondary? With what quarterback? And you won't even give credit to the fact that our best CB is coming back? Our 2nd best is slowly starting to have the light switch turned on. Still missing safeties but nothing about TCU's QB strikes fear into my heart.
  21. 'Swing Set Susan' busted for pretending to be cop, harassing Hispanic teens https://trib.al/5QyoxKj I assume this bitch's post is in this thread somewhere.
  22. I didn't get Fat Rudy vibes at all? Weird reaction to the headband. He looked generally lively, was running the floor well, hustling, didn't really see him get to his mid-range spots though. I saw a couple layups and putbacks, etc. I think the bench can be really good as soon as Lonnie pays his dues or whatever Pop is making him do on the bench instead of Belli.
  23. First hip-hop album that came to mind is Kendrick's, as I think that's my favorite Hip-Hop album of the decade and maybe millenium. Surprised it didn't crack Top 50, that's a damn perfect album. Listened to "The Cars" last night on vinyl with my new headphones. Sounded great, jammed to both sides.
  24. The other subtle flavor I tasted in the Kool-Aid is the improvement of Bryn Forbes alongside a more optimized lineup (with DJ at PG). There's been rumblings this offseason about his shot looking even better. Him running the floor with DJ and Derrick should be fun.
