  1. Here’s my take after sitting through the entire practice: 1) Card and Ewers basically even aside from that brutal Pick 6 by Card. Advantage Ewers by default. Expect him to be named starter no later than next Monday. 2) Brennen Thompson and Savion Red had some moments. I’m thinking Thompson plays early. Dude is skinny as fuck, smaller than Worthy, but if you don’t get a body on him he’s gone. 3) Didn’t watch O line play in detail, but freshmen seemed to hold their own. Fully expecting 2-3 to be starting very early. 4) Thought DBs were solid. 5) Kickers don’t have big legs. Their FG attempts didn’t look terrible in the air (no ugly shanks) but results weren’t good. 6) Impressed with the pace of the practice. They kept them moving. 7) Drops from WRs were contagious. Hopefully just a one practice thing. 😎 Bijan is a bad man and on a different level from the rest of the team. Overall impression - We are who we thought we were. A mediocre team with some good young talent that’s gonna need another year or two to develop. Offense is just too inexperienced to be counting on it to put up 45 on a regular basis and I’ll believe it when I see it against a real offense from our D. I see the O having some big games but also a few stinkers. 7-5 or 8-4 seems realistic. Anything better is a pipe dream and will involve some significant in-season improvement. Oh, and Bama gonna absolutely rape us.
  2. When I was in the Air Force I had a buddy from Beaumont who said shit like that all the time.
  3. Ballys has a pool and cabanas but no idea if it's any good. You're pretty close to Cosmo and Bellagio, so I'd look into all of those and do some research. Cosmo and Bellagio are likely much more expensive, but you get what you pay for in Vegas.
  4. Will started things off right on time at 8:00. Mostly solo but had a band mate from Centromatic join him on the keyboard for several songs. Will played an electric guitar for the whole show. Really good stuff. I’d never listened to him before and by the end several folks in our group were googling him. Good Looks we’re fantastic. Seemed to be in very good spirits and played an energetic set. Started around 9:15 and played until around 10:30 with a 2 song encore. Getting home by 11:00 was perfect for this old man. My whole group really liked them. Parish was a great little venue. I’ll make it a point to go there regularly.
  5. ‘‘Twas a good show. The new Parish is an awesome little venue. Highly recommend seeing a show there.
  6. Seeing Good Looks in austin at the new Parish tomorrow night. I like their sound.

    Fuck I’m enjoying this team. I’ve been trying to hold back on the excitement but they have something going. This string of road wins is damn impressive. Looking forward to some fun at the Q2 Tuesday vs Houston!
  9. Yeah, disappointed about that. Would've liked to have seen him and Charley Crockett later on because I'm not showing up at noon on a hundred degree day. Probably gonna get there around 4-5 so I'll miss them both.
  10. Thought I saw that music starts at Noon, but I may be imagining that.

    Agree with Stan. It was a harsh statement given how he's treated some of his favorites who have as bad or worse results over time.
  12. FIFA and Fox love their cheesy and awkward celebration shows

    Musah and Weston have that attitude that this team was lacking in its failed qualification run for the last World Cup. That shit is contagious. The US has to play with a chip on its shoulder. Always.
  14. What’s up with Mexico? Ass raped by Uruguay and now losing to Jamaica. Are they playing a bunch of youth or do they just suck? I know nothing about their roster.
  15. Badass trip! Not sure I’ve ever made it through Vegas without brunch at Bouchon. Hell, one time we had a three hour layover on the way to Park City for a ski trip and we caught a cab to Bouchon for a quick brunch before our next flight (pre Covid, not sure I’d try that now).
  16. That’s me for Texas football games, or it was when we didn’t suck balls. I’m watching today at Vincent’s in South Austin. Should have the place mostly to ourselves.
  17. Last year I did tell a jackass Sooner who was walking all over the place doing Horns down with both hands that he could fuck himself in the ass in front of his family. But he deserved it. And I was hot and bitterly disappointed. And no punches were thrown.
  18. Think we’re gonna see LP at Stubbs. Seen her a couple times. Weird chick but phenomenal talent.
  19. Fascinating stuff. Such a major miscalculation by Russia. Mistook friendliness for willingness to be subjugated.
  20. Agreed. I like those and Lookout Kid and We. The End of the Empire stuff and the Peter Gabriel song aren’t really working for me at the moment.
  21. Going to Avett Brothers and Bob Schneider at Whitewater tonight. Avetts always put on a good show so it should be worth the sweat.
  22. Should be one of these instead. I used to fly on them during the Cold War.
  23. All I know is that she was pretty much the hottest thing I’ve ever seen in that episode of 2 and 1/2 men. Do yourself a favor and watch it.
